Redken Color Extend Sun

Be careful with your hair this summer and prevent your color from fading out when you spend your days in the sun. Come by our salon at Tegnérgatan 12, Stockholm, and we will tell you what product in the Redken series that will be the ultimate for your hair type and condition.

MIKAs Koivisto/Karlsson is from now on a Redken salon, using tint, demis and toners only from Redkens series and shampoo/conditioner/chemistry/treatments from Redken and Pureology.

Redken (or "Redken 5th Avenue NYC") is an American hair care brand owned by the L'Oreal Group.

The company was founded in 1960 by hairdresser Jheri Redding and actress/model Paula Kent, thus the name, "Red-ken." Redken pioneered the "Scientific Approach to Beauty," and revolutionized the professional salon business by introducing the concept of protein reconditioning and developing new protein based products, which they patented.
