7X AMAZING HAIR SALONS IN AMSTERDAM

Great news for everyone with a Corona hairdo, the Hair Salons in The Netherlands have re-opened after a shutdown for two months. Time to get your hair done!

To start off with, there are so many hair salons nowadays, that it’s hard to make a choice. Some are tiny, some are huge, but some are worth coming back to. And let’s be honest, if you are going to sit in that chair for a few hours, the ambience of a hair salon will add up to your experience. We’ve selected 7 hair salons in Amsterdam that look amazing and offer great skills.

Mogeen

When you enter this hair salon, you will understand why Mogeen, led by the talented Hester Wernert, made it to the top of this list. It’s one of the prettiest hair salons we’ve seen in Amsterdam. So far, I’ve only had by bangs/fringe cut here, but I wish I could have stayed longer. When you enter, there is a beautiful waiting area with plants hanging from the ceiling. 

At Mogeen we are determinant to make a difference in the industry. A salon where fashion, art, culture, sustainability and design meet hairdressing.

The Building

We have a soft spot for The Building because they offer sustainable and vegan hair treatments and have some of the best hair stylists in the business! They know how to keep your hair healthy and styled. They opened their first salon in 2013 and in 2017 they decided to take The Building AMS to another level by opening a new concept located at Haarlemmerdijk, near Central Station. This new concept embraces the vegan and dutch lifestyle featuring a natural and organic line, “So Pure” by Keune. 

Rob Peetoom

First of all, Rob Peetoom is a household name in the world of hairdressing. With models and influencers as regular customers, you can imagine that they deliver high end service. Their hair salons are stylish and classy, and with now more than 15 salons, there is a lot to choose from. If we could pick our favourite it would be the one in Bali that is surrounded by rice fields, but in Amsterdam it’s the salon in the Zuidas. We love the open space and the comfortable waiting area that is perfect to drink a coffee before your luxury treatment.

The Window

This hair salon is known for it’s edgy haircuts and styles. It’s a favourite from the cool kids of Amsterdam and they can cut anything you want. At the Window they split their time between editorial, commercial and catwalk assignments. When you enter you will notice the long stretched space with natural light that comes from the ceiling window. In the middle of the hair salon you’ll find a beautiful cherry blossom tree (we will ignore the fact that it’s a fake). Overall, this salon has a great space and knows how to use it.

Kapsalon in de Jordaan

You either love it or you hate it, but there is one thing for sure about Kapsalon in de Jordaan, there is no hair salon like it in Amsterdam! The walls are covered in Versace wallpaper and the carpet is leopard style print. Fake flowers, tacky photo frames and Dutch music though the speakers. But don’t let this typical Amsterdam Jordaan vibe fool you. Founders Siko and Lorin have years of hairdressing experience and together they make up the perfect team. They say: ‘Our work is of high standard, but our salon offers a relaxed and laidback atmosphere’. If you want a high class cut and an unique experience, check out this hair salon.

The Color

When it comes to Colour, the stylists at The Color know what’s best. But besides their colouring skills, they have a few cool hair salons. Our favourite is the one in the Van Woustraat. The brick wall gives the salon (that isn’t huge), that edgy vibe. We coloured our hair a few times here, with great success! (you’ll be the judge)

Sjenkels

What we love are the mirrors and the fact that this salon has two floors. With hair salons all over the country, we are talking about their salon near Museum Square in Amsterdam. We have yet to cut our hair there, but we’ve heard good stories (note: they have won the hairdresser of the year award)!
