De Wallen / Red Light District
The barber for De Wallen.
Prime Barbershop Amsterdam is on Nieuwendijk 85, a 3-minute walk from De Wallen (Red Light District). ★ 5.0 from 269 reviews on Fresha.
De Wallen — Amsterdam's old town and Red Light District — is one of the most-walked stretches of the city centre, day and night. It's also just three minutes on foot from Prime Barbershop Amsterdam at Nieuwendijk 85, tucked a short walk northwest of the canals.
Whether you live in or around De Wallen, work nearby, or you're staying in the area for a few nights, a proper haircut is closer than you'd think — no need to cross the city for it.
The walk from De Wallen
From the heart of De Wallen, head away from the canals towards Nieuwendijk — it's a short, flat, three-minute walk through some of the oldest streets in Amsterdam. Nieuwendijk itself is bright, busy and pedestrianised, a clear contrast from the narrower lanes of De Wallen, and easy to navigate even if you don't know the area well.
