  BARBER BIRDMAN INTERNATIONAl barber & educator   

Well known across Europe as a classic barber with a modern edge, Boudewijn Jurriaans, also known as Barber Birdman, is an International Redken Artist and barbershop owner from The Netherlands. Boudewijn specializes in classic barbering styles and develops his educational programs to speak to barbers and hairstylists of all skill levels. Above all, he believes that men’s hair should be maintainable while also being designed with intention. To do this, he focuses on clear demonstration of design techniques that allow his students to create modern, relevant styles that are wearable and easy for clients to style at home.   

His unique approach to traditional barbering styles paired with his engaging education methods have resulted in Boudewijn being requested to teach across the world at events such as Premiere Orlando, Festival Barber, and Barbersociety Live. His work has also been nominated for a 2017 Dutch Coiffure Award and has been featured in many national and international publications.    

In his personal life, Boudewijn is a former rockstar who still has a love for rock music culture and is inspired by the design of guitars. While he may no longer be hitting the stage with his band, he has realized that his true passion is to use the stage in a different way – to inspire barbers and hairstylists across the world.

Specialising in classic mens haircuts, Barber Birdman believes mens hair should be cut in a way that is easy to maintain, lasts longer and is easy to style for the client.

By adding modern cutting techniques and design to the classic barber styles, he’s found a way to achieve all that.

 Let’s not forget, he does a mean shave too. Straight razor skills make for a big part in his skill set and are the one thing that set a barber apart from a mens stylist.

So if you’re keen on learning shaving and beard trimming, he’s your guy.
