The Head Shave + Beard Trim + Hot Towel combo is €60 — a 60-minute appointment covering a full head shave, detailed beard grooming, and a hot towel finish. A haircut and beard package (haircut + beard + wash) starts from €75. All combos are bookable online via Fresha.

For most men, yes. The real cost of a consistently mediocre haircut is not just the money paid — it is four to six weeks growing out a result you were not happy with. A professional barbershop delivers consistent results every visit: a proper consultation, experienced hands, quality products, and a finish that holds up for weeks.

At Icon Barbershop, we are rated ★ 5.0 across 310+ verified reviews on Google, Fresha, and Treatwell. That consistency is what the price reflects.

Tipping is not obligatory in the Netherlands — it is discretionary. When you are genuinely happy with the result, rounding up to the nearest €5 or adding €5–10 is a natural and appreciated way to show it. No expected percentage. Tip based on satisfaction.

Walk-ins are always welcome at Icon Barbershop. Online booking via Fresha is recommended to guarantee your time slot — especially on Saturdays and after 17:00 on weekdays when chairs fill quickly. Book online →

Yes. Our barbers work across all hair types and textures — straight, wavy, curly, coily, fine, and thick. Whether you want a skin fade, a classic scissor cut, a textured crop, or a longer style, mention your hair type when booking so we can pair you with the most suitable barber.

Often yes. Unevenness, a poorly shaped neckline, or a harsh blend can usually be corrected immediately. If too much length was removed, only time restores it — hair grows roughly 1.25cm per month. Always raise any concern before leaving the chair — corrections are easiest while the barber still has full context of the cut.

A taper gradually shortens hair toward the neckline and ears — subtle, leaving some length throughout. A fade goes much shorter, down to skin or near-skin at the bottom — a sharper, higher-contrast result. At Icon we offer low, mid, high, and skin fades, all from €40. Your barber will advise which suits your face shape during consultation.

Oval: most styles work — tapers, crops, scissor cuts. Square: softer texture on top balances a strong jaw. Round: height on top creates visual length. Long/oblong: keep sides fuller, avoid extra height. Diamond: volume at the temples balances narrower proportions. Bring a reference photo to your consultation — your Icon barber will give a frank, personalised recommendation.

Skin / high fades: every 2–3 weeks. Standard fades / tapers: every 3–4 weeks. Classic scissor cuts: every 4–6 weeks. Longer textured styles: every 6–8 weeks. Hair grows ~1.25cm per month. Your Icon barber will recommend the right return schedule at the end of every appointment.

Three reasons: professional-grade product applied to slightly damp hair; a directional blow-drying technique most people skip at home; and professional hairdryers with more power and control. At Icon, we always show you exactly how we styled your hair before you leave — so you can recreate it yourself.

Tell us: the style you want (a reference photo removes all ambiguity), what you liked and didn't like about your last cut, how much time you spend styling in the morning, and any concerns like thinning, cowlicks, or growth direction. The more context you give, the more precisely we can tailor the result to your actual life.

Read detailed Google reviews — look for patterns, not just star averages. Check the barbershop's Instagram for consistent technical portfolio work. Ask someone whose haircut you admire for a personal recommendation. On your first visit: did the barber consult before cutting, check symmetry throughout, and finish with product? Those signals separate professionals from the rest.
