Uppercut Deluxe Welcomes James Reichwein

Описание: James Reichwein, Aka ‘Jimmy the Tulip’, is a barber and Co-owner of Cut Throat Amsterdam and Good Vibes Only in Ibiza and we are stoked to announce his appointment as an Uppercut Deluxe Barber Ambassador.

Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand Jimmy was an aspiring professional footballer before he discovered his love of the barbering trade and set up shop in his hometown. He made the move to Amsterdam in 2011 when his shop was flattened by one of Christchurch’s notorious earthquakes.

With nine years barbering experience under his belt, and a Dutch passport in hand, Jimmy set about looking for a job in an established barbershop but soon realised there were very few to choose from. So in true entrepreneurial spirit he started the original Cut Throat Amsterdam; a four chair premises that they quickly outgrew.

Fast forward a few years and Cut Throat Amsterdam, now located in the old Amsterdam Stock Exchange building, is now considered to be one of the premiere barbershops in the country. Instantly recognisable for its distinctive yellow brick work and impressive archways, Cut Throat embraces a mixed concept business model. Everything you’d expect from a full service barbershop with the added benefits of a cocktail bar and cafe.

Jimmy knew a good Barbershop experience starts with good cuts but also wanted to offer his clients more in the way of an experience and atmosphere and Cut Throat certainly delivers on all fronts.

Jimmy is an extremely talented barber with a real eye for detail. He cuts a vast array of styles and often likes to combine traditional elements of the craft with the more modern looks. Whether that's a cropped style with a traditional fade, or looser textured style with tapered finishes.

We've worked closely with Jimmy on the How To Series of videos to support the launch of Easy Hold, check them out for a look at this guys skills.

Welcome to the team Jimmy, great to have you on board.
