(01) For internationals

Built for Amsterdam's international crowd.

Amsterdam Zuid and Zuidas hold one of the highest concentrations of international professionals in the Netherlands. If you have just moved here, finding a barber who understands what a "number two on the sides, textured on top" actually means — in English — should not be the hard part of relocating.

At Icon Barbershop, every consultation happens in English unless you prefer otherwise. Bryan and Zeina also speak Arabic; Robby and Sergei speak Russian; the whole team speaks Dutch. You describe the cut you want in the language you think in, and we work from that.

Everything else is designed to be friction-free too: prices are published in euros before you sit down, booking runs through Fresha in English with any international mobile number, and walk-ins are welcome daily between 09:00 and 20:00.

Price depends on your barber
