Amsterdam Centrum
The barbershop for Amsterdam Centrum.
Prime Barbershop Amsterdam is on Nieuwendijk 85, a 5-minute walk from Amsterdam Centrum. ★ 5.0 from 269 reviews on Fresha.
Amsterdam Centrum is not one neighbourhood — it's a dozen small ones stitched together: Nieuwendijk, Dam Square, De Wallen, Damrak, Nieuwmarkt, the Jordaan edge, Spui. Whichever corner of the centre you're standing in, Prime Barbershop Amsterdam at Nieuwendijk 85 is a short, flat walk away — never more than about ten minutes on foot, and usually closer to three or five.
We built Prime specifically for this part of the city: a genuinely international, always-moving city centre full of residents, commuters and visitors who all want the same thing from a barber — a proper haircut, done properly, without wasting an afternoon on it.
One barbershop, every corner of the centre
Because Amsterdam Centrum is so compact, Nieuwendijk 85 works as the default barber for the whole area rather than just one street. Coming from Dam Square? Four minutes. Off the train at Amsterdam Centraal? Five minutes. Wandering out of De Wallen? Three minutes. Living around Nieuwmarkt? About ten minutes, still an easy walk rather than a tram ride.
