One of the most terrifying things about moving abroad is finding a hairdresser. Although the Dutch certainly have a great control of English, the last thing I want is a “kort pittig” hairstyle. For years, I’ve cut my own hair as I’ve been nervous about trusting a hairdresser. I decided to get balayage this year and I’ve been in love with the results. These are the best English-speaking hairdressers in the Hague recommended by friends and fellow expats!
KAPNÂH
When I decided that I wanted balayage (subtle highlights that are hand-painted), I saw it offered at a number of Dutch salons, but KAPNÂH came highly recommended by fellow expats. Joelle is so sweet and I felt immediately in good hands when I came to her for an appointment. I loved that I was the only one there and it was clear that she had a lot of experience doing color, more so than the other salons that I had considered. If you’re looking for something beautiful and subtle, come here as Joelle will listen to you and your needs.

Michele is a pro with curly hair and he’s known as one of the best English-speaking hairdressers in the Hague who will treat you professionally. Just be warned: Don’t disturb him while he’s working.
Insieme
For a hair salon that will listen to you (rather than hacking away) with a coffee while you relax, head to Insieme. My friend swears by this Haagse hairsalon for keeping her color fresh and not going too heavy with hair-cuts for thin hair.
toni & Guy
Many expats sweat by Toni & Guy for a great cut and color. Whether you’re looking for a simple cut to refresh your look or a bit of color to improve your style, Toni & Guy ranks among the most popular high-end salons in the Hague!
for men: Benoah Barbers
For men looking for the best barbershop experience in the Hague, head to Benoah Barbers to get pampered while getting a great shave (or haircut). If you enjoy having a well-kept beard, come here to experience a master of his craft!

April 1, 2019 at 3:07 pmNice resources! It is hard to find a good hairdresser. After trying a few, I’d recommend adding Central Hair Salon in the Hague. Eva is the owner… speaks English, offers great advice, great cuts, color and the prices are good!

April 11, 2019 at 8:57 amI don’t even live in the Hague but this post is so so so so important. As an expat in Germany, finding a hairstylist that can understand me (and not give me a default Jennifer Aniston haircut!) was probably my hardest adjustment. What a great idea to make a list!
