a barbering family
New York Barbershop (NYB) is a true gentlemen’s barbershop, founded in 1990 by Anne and Robert Lagerman. Located in the basement of the iconic Hotel New York on Rotterdam’s Wilhelminapier — the city’s dynamic new business district — NYB offers a unique blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship.
The barbershop continues the legacy of a Rotterdam family business that dates back to 1884, proudly passed down through four generations. Our concept draws inspiration from this rich heritage while embracing the timeless style of classic barbershops from Brooklyn, New York, and the refined elegance of Southern European grooming culture.
At NYB, we specialize in traditional haircuts and classic shaves, all performed by experienced barbers who are dedicated to their craft. Every treatment is designed to offer not just grooming, but an authentic and relaxing experience — one that reflects our commitment to quality, tradition, and personal attention.
“We’re not retro…we’re just classic with a modern touch”, and always at your service”….
