Our Story
Premium grooming in Amsterdam West.
Empire Barbershop Amsterdam is the most-reviewed barbershop in Amsterdam West — built on years of precision cuts, genuine care, and a team that makes every client feel completely at home.
More than a haircut.
An experience.
Empire Barbershop was built on one principle: every client deserves to leave looking and feeling their absolute best. Not sometimes. Every single time. That's what 2,345 five-star reviews look like in practice.
Located at Nassaukade 164H in Da Costabuurt, we sit at the edge of the Jordaan, Oud-West and Westerpark — one of Amsterdam's most vibrant corners. Our clients come from across Amsterdam West and Centrum: locals, expats, professionals, students. Every one of them is welcome in our chair.
Our team speaks 7+ languages — English, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and more — because great grooming starts with clear communication. We offer tiered pricing (Junior, Senior, Master Barber) so every client can choose the level of experience that suits them. And we're open 08:00–20:00, seven days a week.
Empire is part of the ICON group of barbershops — also including Icon Hair Salon & Barbershop (Marathonweg 21–23, Amsterdam Zuid) and Prime Barbershop.
