The gentlemen hairdressers

Meet the
Team

Four passionate hairdressers, one shared obsession: making a man look and feel like the sharpest version of himself. Pull up a fifties chair and get to know the hands behind the craft.

We’re a crew of four passionate hairdressers who’d rather do one cut properly than ten in a hurry. Scissors, clippers, a straight razor and a cold beer — that’s the toolkit.

Our gentlemen hairdressers specialise in men’s hairstyles. They let you enjoy a moment of you-time while they perfect your unique look. Chaplins is a place where the conversation is as good as the fade, and nobody is ever rushed out of the chair.

Every barber here has their own signature — a particular way with curly hair, a beardsmith’s eye, a hot-towel ritual passed down. Find the one who speaks your language, then book straight with them.

The Barbers

Craftsmen with character — pick your favourite and book with them directly.

Thomas, master barber and founder at Chaplins Antwerp

‘The Chief’

Thomas Peeters

Master Barber & Founder

Twenty-odd years behind the chair and still first in every morning. Thomas founded Chaplins to bring old-school barbering back to Antwerp — and yes, he’ll tell you a story while he does it.

Jasper, barber and beard specialist at Chaplins Antwerp

‘The Quiet Blade’

Jasper Van Dam

Barber & Beard Specialist

Jasper says little and shapes a lot. Give him a beard and he’ll give you a jawline — trimmed, lined and oiled with a patience that borders on meditation.

Luca, fade and modern styling barber at Chaplins Antwerp

‘The Freshman’

Luca Moretti

Barber & Fade Specialist

The youngest pair of hands in the shop and the fastest with a clipper. Skin fades, texture and modern shapes are Luca’s home turf — bring him a photo and he’ll beat it.

Niels, hot-towel shave barber at Chaplins Antwerp

‘The Steady Hand’

Niels De Vos

Barber & Hot-Towel Shaves

If you’ve come for the old-fashioned shave, you’ve come for Niels. Hot towel, badger brush, straight razor and a steady hand — the ritual that made this place famous.
