They only do POMPADORES. They don't know how to do any other cut. Also very standoffish and unfriendly. Would not recommend. Great waste of money. EDIT FOR RESPONSE. As I can't let the truth not be told. I was greeted by two men saying I couldn't have an appointment because they don't cut long hair. Once I was convinced that the barber could shave my face and not cut my hair, I was completely left alone for 20 minutes. I was not offered a drink and was not told that they would work with my hair style. Thus why I walked out 15 minutes past my appointment time.

Combo for 72€ (03.23) Relaxing 90 minutes of service. I popped in as a customer but one day I'll visit for additional barber training in academy :)

We headed over to Schorem because my 9 year old wants to be a barber and he researched that this spot was the best in the WORLD baby! It did not disappoint! My son wanted to hang out before his haircut and we soaked up the atmosphere. The fellas went above and beyond , answering all the questions my son had and giving him the ultimate experience. He walked out saying „I can’t ever go to another barber now“ ‚nuff said 💈

Even though it's popular and you have to wait awhile for the haircut (seriously if you don't want to wait for three hours be there an hour before it opens), they still take their time and make sure to deliver you one of the damn finest haircuts you've ever had. Coffee upon arrival, beer during my haircut, and a gentleman who truly appreciated his craft cutting my hair. 10/10 would go again.

We’ve never been to your barbershop, but thank you for inspiring us way back when we opened our own shop in 2012 your style, skill, and social media presence was the ignition we needed to start our own. We wish you all amazing success! 📈💯 From Bali 🇮🇩

Very good barbershop. Vibrant atmosphere. Great guys with passion for their work. It’s noisy and loud, bunch off rough guys, delivering fine work. It’s awesome. Personally I always go to Martin, but all guys are ok.

I was there for the 3rd and last time in August. Since April the price has been raised by 6 euros but the service has got worse. My beard was cut totally unevenly. It's a real shame, it would have been a cool store.

I attended the Old School Barbering Academy which is owned and operated my Shorem. I had a amazing time at the academy with Janna, Duncan and Robert ( I am American... hope I spell the names right). Amazing instruction and attention. I saw a prior review calling this place a sausage fest... I am a woman from America and visited this shop a few times... Guy and the barbers and customers offered me coffee. Told me to hang out. I don't get it the sausage fest review. It is a barber shop and they did not ask me to leave but welcomed me

Na jarenlang trouwe klant te zijn geweest zie ik de zaak achteruit gaan. Vaste personeel gaat of is weg, vele praten Engels. En de degene die er nog zijn en Nederlands praten, verrekken het om het te vertalen. Redelijk ongeïnteresseerd. We zijn met 2 man weggelopen zonder geknipt te zijn. Ons zien ze niet meer terug.

There is a refuge for men that need to escape from the feminine side of society, a place called Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier. A barbershop where no women are allowed, simply because they do not understand the craft of shaving a good beard or nice cut. These guys do, Leen and Bertus started this classic barbershop just over 2 years ago. An instant hit with locals, they now have an overgrowing international fanbase. Just a week ago they won the Ketelbinkie, a price to support local entrepeneurs. With regular tv appearances they show the world just what great little places we have in Rotterdam. So be a man and visit Schorem! As seen on I Know This Great Little Place in Rotterdam (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.536252909746690.1073741843.103845866320732&type=3)

How anyone could give below star reviews is beyond me. These guys are the real deal. Old school barbershop. Super nice barbers with exceptional skills. Great coffee as well. I only wish it was in my neighborhood and not thousands of miles away from me.

Best barber shop on planet earth! There's no one single barber that doesn't know what he's doing! Great place to relax and treat yourself while reading playboy and listening to the awesome rock coming out of the speakers with a coffee in your hand or a beer in the afternoon... Going there since 2 years now, 160km away from my house in Belgium but worth every cent spent on gasoline! Keep doing what you're doing guys!

Great crew here. The community of barbers and locals make this place unique in the barbershop world and beyond. If you think you know what a good cut is you have know idea how much better it could be until you've had a cut and shave here. Pros doing prose with scissors.
