Hair coloring is a procedure that can magically transform the look. But so that, together with the new color, the hair acquires shine and strength, and does not lose health, it is recommended to use professional products, and not paints from the mass market with a rather aggressive composition. One of the recognized leaders among manufacturers of salon products for 95 years is the Keune brand.
About Brand
Keune is a brand of cosmetics and hair dyes native to Holland. The chemist and pharmacist Jan Keune (Jan Keune) in the distant 1922 opened a pharmacy in the central district of Amsterdam with a small production at her. Soon, Keune came up with its own formula of hot curling and launched Securit HB-G lotion in mass production. The tool quickly gained popularity in the Netherlands and neighboring countries. The Keune brand staunchly endured the 30-40s difficult for Europe and flourished in the post-war period.
Jan Keune experimented tirelessly, trying to ensure that its products at maximum efficiency do no harm. In 1951, one of his main inventions appeared, for which he received a patent: a perm wave based on the nitron formula. A little later, the image of the nitron molecule became the brand's logo, personifying its principles: innovation and safety.
The range of the brand expanded, replenished with innovative developments: paints with a caring composition, hair sprays, Europe's first production of aerosol sprays, persistent dyes without ammonia. The company was one of the first to launch styling mousse on the market.
In 1990, after the launch of the Tinta series, a patent was obtained for the stabilizer LP300, which is able to integrate as much as possible into the structure of the hair.Another patented technology is the use of 100% plant extracts for paints.
Environmental friendliness is one of the principles of the company.
Keune factory is located in the most beautiful corner of Holland, the city of Sust, surrounded by dense forests. The ultra-modern production, in the work on the project which was attended by the founder’s son George Keune, Sr. (George Keune), does not harm the environment. This is constantly monitored, because a little Holland reverently protects its natural resources.
Being traditionally a family business, the company values a good reputation, bringing each product to perfection. Today, Keune Haircosmetics has offices in more than 70 countries, continuing to maintain the high standard of quality, professionalism and social responsibility declared by the founder.
