★★★★★ 4.9 · 216 REVIEWS ON FRESHA
Ayham brings 216 verified reviews at ★ 4.9 to the Empire chair line — a rating that reflects sustained quality across a large number of real appointments. His speciality spans three areas most barbers treat as separate: fade work, beard shaping, and textured cuts. Ayham treats them as one connected skill set.
His approach to textured hair is notably more informed than average. Curl or wave doesn't respond to the same techniques as straight hair — the elasticity is different, the visual weight shifts as it grows. Ayham accounts for this from the first consultation, which is why his textured-cut clients have a noticeably higher return rate than the industry average.
He speaks English and Arabic, with a significant Arabic-speaking client community that seeks him out specifically across Amsterdam West and Da Costabuurt.
"Fades and beards together are where I feel most in my element. The shape of the beard influences where the fade should start. The height of the fade changes how the beard reads from the front. They're one decision, not two."
What clients say
"Ayham understood my textured hair in a way I haven't experienced at other barbershops. He shaped the fade to account for how my hair expands when it dries." — Verified Fresha client · Fade Haircut
"Ayham planned the haircut and beard together as one look — he showed me what he was thinking before he started and the reasoning made total sense." — Verified Fresha client · Haircut & Beard
