★★★★★ 5.0 · 137 REVIEWS ON FRESHA

Andrew is one of Empire's most versatile barbers — ★ 5.0 from 137 verified Fresha reviews, covering the full range of the service menu with genuine confidence. In a barbershop where most clients come with a specific barber preference, Andrew is the one whose walk-in clients become regulars after a single appointment.

He's one of three barbers at Empire fluent in Spanish — a language that opens the door to a substantial client community among Amsterdam's Spanish and Latin American expats and tourists. He also speaks English and Dutch, making him one of the most accessible members of the team for new clients.

His consultation is notably inclusive: he understands not just what style a client wants, but their relationship with their hair — how much time they spend on it, what products they use, what has and hasn't worked before. A cut designed around these realities performs dramatically better in daily life.

"I ask a lot of questions before I start. People sometimes find it funny — 'I just want a haircut, not an interview.' But the answers change what I do. The result is a cut that actually works for how they live."
