HED² Head Enlight District Barber & Store

Head Enlight District Barber is a very cool salon in the heart of Amsterdam red-light district. Came here by complete chance and left very impressed! Alex did a great job on my hair, he was exceptionally knowledgeable and really made some great reccomedations based on the shape of my face and my hair. It’s a little bit more expensive than your regular barber, but you walk out feeling like you get your monies worth. The service is impeccable, the salon is eclectic and the range of organic products are great. Well worth visiting for your next cut in Amsterdam

Alex provides unbelievable value. This isn’t just a haircut – it felt in some moments more like a gourmet spa, and in others like a cozy pub where the bartender immediately puts you at ease and starts talking to you like an old friend. Alex is so obviously a master of his craft, and part of his mission is to teach people how to properly and naturally care for their hair and scalp. I learned so much while also receiving the best haircut of my life. The atmosphere is beautiful with plants and relaxing bossa nova (I want his playlist) – and some fun nostalgic quirks like a Nintendo 64 displayed in the window.

Being a visitor to Amsterdam, I never thought my haircut would be the experience I would be talking about the most after returning home. Thanks, Alex!

For the past four years, HED Barber, particularly its owner Alex, has been my go-to barber shop for all things related to my hair. It’s not just about getting a simple haircut; it’s a complete experience every time I visit. Despite visiting every month for almost four years now, I have never left feeling disappointed. I must emphasize that it’s a complete grooming package for men, and Alex always takes the time to craft a look that complements the shape of your face, while also trimming if needed your beard, eyebrows, and other facial hair. Whenever I’m at HED Barber I notice the calming ambiance that exudes Brazilian vibes, making me feel like I’m on a vacation. I can definitely recommend the store and I’d even go as far as to say that it’s a must-do activity when visiting Amsterdam.

This barber shop is a piece of art! I got there one of the best shaves ever! I always enjoy to get a shave by a real barber and that is definitely a real, dedicated barber!
