Questions, answered Icon Hair Salon Amsterdam.

At Icon Hair Salon in Amsterdam Zuid a women's haircut starts at €59.99 for short hair (above the shoulders, about 1 hour), €69.99 for medium length (shoulder to chest, about 1 hour 10 minutes) and €79.99 for long or very dense hair (below the chest, about 1 hour 30 minutes).

We publish our full price list so you know the amount before you sit down.

A haircut includes a consultation about the shape you want and how much time you want to spend on it at home, a wash, the cut itself and a rough dry finish. If you would like a full, polished blow-dry finish, choose Icon Signature, which is cut plus blow-dry from €75 for short hair, €95 for medium and €110 for long or very thick hair.

A blow dry at Icon starts at €65 for short hair (about 1 hour), €75 for medium length (about 1 hour 10 minutes) and €85 for long or very dense hair (about 1 hour 30 minutes). Styling only, no cut. Longer and thicker hair simply needs more time and product, which is why the tiers exist.

• Blow dry in Amsterdam Zuid →

A curl-specialist cut at Icon starts from €75. Curly blow-dry and styling starts from €90, and the full curly cut and blow-dry from €130. Curly hair is cut with a dedicated approach rather than as a standard cut, so please select the curly haircut when booking and we reserve the right amount of chair time.

Eyebrow threading is €15, face threading is €25, and face and eyebrow threading together is €45. Threading only, no wax and no pulling on the skin.

It depends on what you are comparing. Salon pricing in Amsterdam varies with the stylist's experience, how much time a service takes, the products used and the neighbourhood. Rather than claiming anything about other salons, we publish every starting price and every appointment duration on the site and on our booking page, so you can judge the value yourself before you book.

Negotiating is not customary in Dutch salons. What you can and should expect is transparency: at Icon the price you see when booking is the starting price for that service and length, and if your hair needs more time than the tier you chose, we tell you during the consultation, before any cutting starts.

Tipping is optional in the Netherlands and never expected. Many clients round up or leave around five to ten percent when they are happy. An equally valuable thank you is a short, honest review naming the stylist who did your hair, which genuinely helps them.

All payment types are accepted. In the salon you can pay by debit card and PIN, credit card, contactless and mobile payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and cash. You can also pay online when you book through Treatwell, so everything is settled before you arrive. Nothing to arrange in advance, simply pay whichever way suits you.

Some do, some work by appointment only. Icon welcomes walk-ins whenever there is a free slot, but we cannot guarantee immediate availability, particularly on Saturdays and after 17:00 on weekdays. Booking online secures a specific time with a specific stylist.

Often yes. Same-day slots appear regularly, especially earlier in the day and midweek, and the live availability calendar shows exactly what is open right now. If nothing suits online, call or WhatsApp us and we will tell you honestly what we can fit in.

For a weekday daytime appointment a day or two is usually enough. Evenings, Saturdays and Sundays fill earlier, so booking several days ahead is safer. For a longer visit such as a cut with a full blow-dry, or for an occasion with a fixed time, book as early as you can.

Duration follows length, density, texture, the service and the finish. At Icon a short haircut is about 1 hour, medium about 1 hour 10 minutes and long or very dense about 1 hour 30 minutes. A cut with a full blow-dry runs from about 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, a blow dry alone from 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, and brow threading 15 to 35 minutes.

A blow-dry at Icon takes about 1 hour for short hair, around 1 hour 10 minutes for medium length and up to 1 hour 30 minutes for long or very dense hair. That includes the wash, the styling itself and a finish that is built to last, not rushed.

Icon Hair Salon on Marathonweg in Amsterdam Zuid works in English every day. Our stylists between them speak English, Dutch, Arabic and Russian, so consultations, questions and aftercare advice all happen in the language you are comfortable with. If a specific language matters to you, mention it when booking and we will match you with the right stylist.

Bring two or three reference photographs, including one of something you do not want, which is often the most useful of all. Say roughly how many centimetres you are willing to lose, tell us how much time you realistically spend styling at home, and mention how you usually wear your hair. Every appointment starts with a consultation, so nothing is cut until we both describe the same result.

Amsterdam Zuid, Oud-Zuid and the Zuidas area have a large international community and salons that work in English as a matter of course. Icon sits on Marathonweg in Stadionbuurt, a short walk from Olympiaplein, and welcomes English-speaking and international clients daily, with online booking so you never have to make a phone call in a language you are still learning.

Look at recent reviews rather than only the average score, and check how many there are and whether they describe real detail. Look for transparent, published pricing, stylist profiles that tell you who will actually cut your hair, real photographs of their work, and a clear booking process. Finally, look for a salon that consults before cutting, because that conversation is where a good result is decided.

Icon Hair Salon is at Marathonweg 21-23, 1076 SZ Amsterdam, in the Stadionbuurt part of Amsterdam Zuid, two minutes on foot from Olympiaplein and the Olympic Stadium. The salon is open every day from 09:00 to 20:00.

• Directions and parking →

Yes. Marathonweg runs straight off Olympiaplein, so the walk from the square takes roughly two to three minutes. If you are meeting friends at the Olympiaplein cafés or coming from the market, the salon is around the corner.

Very. From the southern end of Vondelpark it is about a ten minute cycle or a fifteen to twenty minute walk down through Schinkelbuurt or along Amstelveenseweg. Many of our regular clients live in the streets between the park and Olympiaplein.

Yes. Amstelveenseweg is a few minutes away by bike or on foot, which makes Icon an easy stop for clients in Hoofddorppleinbuurt, Schinkelbuurt and the streets around Station Amsterdam Zuid.

• Hair salon Hoofddorppleinbuurt →

Clients come to us from Stadionbuurt, Apollobuurt, Oud-Zuid, Museumkwartier, Schinkelbuurt, Hoofddorppleinbuurt, the Vondelpark area, Amstelveenseweg and the Zuidas business district. All of them are within a short walk, cycle or tram ride of Marathonweg.

Yes. Tram 24 stops at Olympiaplein, two minutes from the door, and tram 2 and the buses along Amstelveenseweg leave you a short walk away. From Station Amsterdam Zuid it is roughly ten minutes by bike or a quick tram and walk combination.

There is paid street parking on Marathonweg and in the surrounding Stadionbuurt streets, paid by app or meter. It is usually easiest during the day and tighter in the early evening, so allow a few extra minutes if you are driving. Bicycle parking is directly in front of the salon.

Yes. Curly and wavy hair is cut with a dedicated approach that reads your curl pattern, shrinkage, density and where the volume naturally sits, so the shape works dry rather than only looking right while wet. We shape for movement and for the amount of maintenance you actually want, and we talk through washing, drying and product routine before you leave.

• Curly haircuts in Amsterdam →

We regularly cut curly and wavy hair, and our stylists work with a wide range of textures. Rather than promising every texture type, we ask you to send a photo of your hair by WhatsApp before booking if you have tightly coiled or afro-textured hair. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right salon for what you want.

Yes, and long hair is a large part of what we do. The work is in layering and weight distribution: removing bulk where it drags, keeping length where it counts, and building movement that suits your density. Long and very dense hair simply needs a longer appointment, which is why it has its own tier and its own price.

Yes. Our care treatment is a deep conditioning service tailored after a short in-chair diagnosis of your length, porosity and condition, either bond-building or moisture-focused. Because it depends on your hair, it is priced on consultation rather than from a fixed list. It pairs well with a cut or blow-dry in the same visit.

• Care treatments and services →

We work with professional salon-only ranges chosen for the service and for your hair type, and we tell you in the chair exactly what is being used and why. If you want to know which specific brand will be used for your treatment before you book, ask us on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is currently on the shelf.

A consultation first, where we look at your hair dry, talk through the shape and confirm the price for your length. Then a wash, the cut, and styling or a rough dry depending on the service you booked. At the end we check the result with you in the mirror, explain how to recreate it at home and confirm the final amount. You can pay by card, contactless, mobile payment or cash, or settle online in advance through Treatwell.

Yes, please do. Two or three photos say more than a paragraph, and one photo of something you definitely do not want is often the most useful of all. We will tell you honestly how close your hair type and density can get to a reference, and what it would take to maintain it.

• See real before and after work →

That is a normal starting point and it is exactly what the consultation is for. We look at your face shape, hair density, growth pattern and how your hair behaves when you leave it alone, then ask how much time you genuinely want to spend styling at home. From there we suggest two or three realistic directions and you choose.

As a guide, every six to eight weeks for short shapes and fringes, every eight to twelve weeks for medium length, and every twelve to sixteen weeks for long hair you are growing out. Curly hair often stretches further because the shape hides growth. Your stylist will tell you what your specific cut needs to hold its line.

Yes. A blow-dry is a standalone service with its own tiers: from €65 short, €75 medium and €85 long or very dense. Book it on its own for an event, a shoot or simply a good hair day.

• Blow dry in Amsterdam Zuid →

Yes. The Icon Signature Bridal Experience is done in the salon by senior stylist Zeina and is arranged by consultation rather than booked from the standard menu, because timing and the look are planned with you in advance. Contact us directly to discuss a date.
