practical questions What's the best barber (in the city center)

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Born and raised in The Hague, and for most of my life I’ve stuck to standard short cuts like mid taper fades. Turkish barbers in the city have always been elite for clean fades, but lately I’ve been growing out my hair and beard.

I'm looking to get something like a wolfcut or a textured, layered style and I definitely don't trust a Turkish barbershop with that 😂.

Does anyone have recommendations for a barber or unisex stylist in town who actually knows how to work with scissors on longer men's hair and can give honest advice on what works best with my face shape?

Cheers and take care!

politics Petition: Traffic controllers to be reinstated, construction of roundabout

Upvotes

Bewoners rondom de Badhuisweg, Pompstationsweg en de omliggende straten slaan alarm.
Door de afsluiting van de Hubertustunnel en Verhuellweg, het bouwverkeer en de toenemende drukte door het groeiende aantal appartementen is de verkeerssituatie onoverzichtelijk en gevaarlijk geworden. De eerste ongelukken dit schoolseizoen zijn helaas alweer gebeurd, de laatste vanmorgen.

De kinderen kunnen niet meer veilig naar school fietsen.

Wij vragen de volgende maatregelen

- Direct: verkeersregelaars tijdens de spits en schooltijden, zoals voor de vakantie.

- Een rotonde met aparte fietspaden en voorrang voor fietsers.

- Structurele oplossingen om de snelheid van auto's te beperken.

Teken de petitie hier: https://badhuispompstationsweg.petities.nl/

Sign the petition for a safer neighborhood and traffic to Scheveningen please

- Residents around Badhuisweg, Pompstationsweg, and surrounding streets are sounding the alarm.

- Due to the closure of the Hubertus tunnel and Verhuellweg, heavy construction traffic and materials, and growing tourist crowds, the traffic situation has become chaotic and dangerous. The first accidents have already occurred this new school season; the most recent accident this very morning. Children can no longer cycle to school safely.

Our demands:

- Immediately: traffic controllers during morning rush hours and school times, like before the summer vacation.

- A new roundabout with dedicated bike lanes and priority for cyclists.

- Long-term solutions to reduce car speeds and ensure safe school commutes.

practical questions Hardware jobs near Den Haag

Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone have feedback in this job market (hardware), near Den Haag?

Background: I'm a soon-to-graduate PhD student in biomedical hardware and have made dozens of contracts (equivalent of 3-4 years of experience) as a freelancer, mostly in the field of wearables and sensors. I even freaking built stuff for ESA, and on another level, helped startups in the field of hardware secure funding.

My experience is PCB design, assembly, developing new sensors, building test rigs, data acquisition, ADC, WiFi, Bluetooth, CAD. I'm a Swiss knife, I like to imagine myself as the perfect candidate for startups. But maybe I'm delulu 🤣

I started applying to jobs near Amsterdam, Haag, Delft, since I live in the Randstad. I'm a EU citizen.

In 3 weeks of applying I got 2 interviews, and a dozen ("CV downloaded" through LinkedIn).

Anyone in a similar situation? What's the outlook, specifically in this field?

meeting people Looking for Folk Music Enthusiasts to Jam With

Upvotes

Hey! I'm a folk music enthusiast who's looking for a couple people who also like Celtic, Americana, Appalachian and that sort of music to jam with, here in the hague. None of my friends really like this kind of music, so I thought I might have some better luck here on reddit. I've not really though this out too much, so things like when and where could be discussed, but I am thinking that it would likely be bi-weekly.

practical questions Weed advice (wiet advies)

Upvotes

Hello guys and girls

I'm visiting Den Haag soon to go around some coffeeshops and I could use some advice.

Even though I smoke regularly, I don't really know what I like (I just smoke what I can get my hands on).

I've narrowed my visit down to these 6 coffeeshops:

-Greenhouse secret farmers

-Cremers

-Dizzy Duck

-The Canna Club

-Fly

-Strain fellows

I'm thinking about getting 2-3 strains from every shop + some pre rolls.

Sativa/indica doesn't matter to me, I'm mostly looking to try as many different strains as possible.

Should I just ask the budtender which strains he/she recommends and go with it?

Which of the 6 shops would you go to for flower? Which would you choose for pre rolls?

Are there any shops that currently offer some interesting deals/special offers?

If you were in my shoes, had no clue which strains you liked and wanted to experiment, what would your approach be?

Appreciate you all in advance 🫡

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a good and professional massage place in The Hague.

I’m mainly interested in a 1-hour full body relaxation massage (not sports massage), and I’d like to keep it reasonably priced — ideally around €50–€70 if possible.

I’m looking for a clean, professional place with experienced therapists and a relaxing atmosphere. Preferably somewhere you’ve personally had a good experience with.

Any recommendations or places to avoid?
Thanks in advance!
