the Barber of Amsterdam

Barber is a shaving salon in Amsterdam. In their own words : “We believe every man needs some time for himself, and we believe in the luxury of a good old straight razor shave or trim. Our skilled barbers are happy to welcome you with a great coffee, whisky or a cold beer. Then.. just sit back and enjoy!”  Barber offers you different types of treatments, tailored to your wishes. You can spend an hour in there, or just 10 minutes, spend a fortune or your last dimes. They have a special treatment for everyone, guaranteed with old fashioned service. Check out the “Dude”, a nice trim and touch up for your beard and/or moustache, finished with an icecold towel and good moisturizer, ideal for a quick lunch break, interview or date. Or you may go all the way with their full face and shave treatment, named the “Hemingway”. Included are a facial scrub, beard trim or a hot towel straight razor shave, a facial mask, facial massage, and lots of hot towels.

Amsterdam-based architect Ard Hoksbergen’s interior design of barber, a traditional shaving salon placed within a 19th-century shop in the downtown core of the capital city of the Netherlands. The project expresses a raw, but warm atmosphere, where mainly natural materials are used. A floor of old sawn floor beams, clay plaster, pine plates, leather and concrete provide an industrial-type feel, exposing a network of copper pipes that influence the inner workings of the barber shop.
