8 of the best hairdressers in Amsterdam

Her work

A few years ago, founder Susanne moved from Groningen to Amsterdam to fulfill her dream: her own salon (which she already owned in Groningen, by the way) that felt like it had been around for years. And so it happened, because since the beginning, it's been a hit. The close-knit team now includes several experienced hairstylists, and Susanne herself is often in the salon. Cutting, coloring, trimming, or extensions: at Haarwerk, they're at home in every market.

Bubblekid

At Bubblekid, things are a little different. You won't find any mirrors here. The goal? To unleash the creativity of their experts and minimize the torment of clients. After all, we all know that reflection of ourselves in a hairdressing apron. There are better pictures out there ;-) Despite (or perhaps because of) the lack of mirrors, you can completely trust the staff's expertise. You'll never leave with a haircut you didn't ask for.

The Hair Theater

At Het Haartheater, you'll feel like you're in a luxurious oasis where everything revolves around a fabulous hairdo. And that's practically guaranteed with every visit. They offer no fewer than four balayage formulas and are truly experts in the field. So whether you're a seasoned hair colorist or looking to freshen up your locks for the first time, this is the place to be.

Hair Salon Bert Visser

Located in the Conservatorium Hotel (which is definitely not a bad place to be) is Hairsalon Bert Visser. For years, Bert has been a household name in the hairdressing world; his salon is the icing on the cake. He gained experience in the fashion world with clients including Givenchy, Rick Owens, Celine, Dior, and Valentino, and he still has models and fashionistas in his chair. Long hair and afraid to compromise on length? Then Bert is the place to be, because somehow he manages to maintain the length while still creating a fresh look. He's also always up-to-date on the latest hair trends, if you're still looking for inspiration.

Hair salon in the Jordaan

A thoroughly Jordaan-esque look, yet modern in its techniques and cuts. Judging by the interior, you wouldn't expect that, so don't be fooled. Hairstylist Siko van Berkel and color specialist Lorin Versteeg have been running this popular salon since 2018 and have welcomed many Dutch celebrities into their salons. They consider not only your needs but also what suits you – inside and out.

Another well-known name in the hairdressing world: Hester Wernert-Rijn. Mogeen is her name, making her just as renowned as she is.

Fancy a break from the city? 🍂 These are my favourite walking & drinks spots in the Netherlands. To be honest... I don't see myself living outside the city anytime soon, but on weekends I love getting out into nature. That's why I've created a YLBB shortlist of the most beautiful walking areas, complete with a great drinks spot nearby. My perfect Sunday? First a walk, then relaxing somewhere with a treat or a hot chocolate (or, of course, a glass of wine and bitterballen!). 📍From Lage Vuursche to the Waterleidingduinen and the Amsterdamse Bos, I share my favourites in this video. But... there are of course many more lovely places in the Netherlands where you can enjoy a drink after a walk. Which tip do you think is a must-see? 👇 Save this post to get out into nature this season or forward it to your walking date. 🍁 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #yourlittleblackbook #hikinginthenetherlands #drinksspot #discoveringthenetherlands #natureinthenetherlands #autumnroutes #hikingtips #dutchautumn #walks #naturewalk #weekendtips #netherlandsholiday #drinks #outdoorlife #amsterdamweekend #thingstodonetherlands #yourlbb
Forget the classic omakase experience in Amsterdam, this is something else. Hidden inside burger spot @paindemie_amsterdam and inspired by the Tokyo subway, you'll find @moyo_amsterdam. A new hotspot redefining the omakase concept. Chef @guillaumedebeer is behind this next-level concept, and it shows in every creative detail. But here O-toro and Wagyu take the stage 🥩. It's intimate, creative, and seriously one of the most exciting new openings in Amsterdam right now. Save this for your next special dinner night 🔥 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #amsterdam #amsterdamcity #amsterdamfoodguide #amsterdamfood #amsterdamtravel
The most beautiful l𝗶𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 for your 𝗡𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 this season The days are getting shorter, the evenings longer… And honestly? I secretly think that’s one of the nicest things about this season. Because the transition from autumn to winter means: light festivals! ✨ All over the Netherlands, cities, parks and castles light up with light art, projections and installations that you’ll love to see them all. What once started with the Amsterdam Light Festival has grown into one of the most beautiful winter traditions in the country, if you ask me! Most light festivals also offer cozy hot chocolate and food stalls for something tasty to go. Perfect for a winter evening with your loved one, family, or friends. Can you picture yourself strolling past artworks that transform streets, parks, and canals into a fairytale, with a hot chocolate or mulled wine in hand? 📍From North Holland to Gelderland, I'm sharing all the tips in a comprehensive article on Your Little Black Book, featuring the best light festivals in almost every province in the Netherlands. Trust me: this is such a special outing to brighten up the dark days. P.S. I'll also have exciting news about the @lefoodwalk at the @amsterdamlightfestival on Your Little Black Book soon! Have fun planning! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #lightfestival #netherlandstips #winterouting #yourlittleblackbook #thingstodo #lightart #amsterdamlightfestival #wintervibes #dayout #romanticouting #autumndinings #gluhweinmoment #fallinthenetherlands
