About Keune Haircosmetics

 

Since 1922, Keune have been making hair products for professionals. But we are so much more than just a supplier. All salons that work with us are a part of the Keune family. 

Besides the fact that Keune only produces high-quality products, we also provide world-class training to hairdressers. This way they can always keep up to date with the latest color and haircut trends. 

 

 

How it all began?

It all started in 1922 with Jan Keune, a pharmacist from Amsterdam, and his fascination for curls. Above the drugstore he ran with his wife, he started experimenting and producing hair products. Where previously hair was curled by heating curling irons over gas burners, Jan Keune managed to develop a formula for permanent liquid. It became a resounding success that women ran away with it. The Dutch product conquered the world and Keune Haircosmetics became a fact in 1925 when Jan officially wrote the drugstore in his name.

Keune is 100% cruelty-free
Keune is a 100% cruelty-free company. We never test our products and ingredients on animals. Fortunately, in the European Union this is already banned by law, and we can assure you that we also do not perform or commission tests on animals for our products or ingredients anywhere else in the world.

Keune supports a vegan lifestyle, and therefore we included several vegan hair products in our assortment. For example, our So Pure line is 100% vegan.
