Founded in 2001 by Jan Ernstberger, the owner of a hair dressing chain with over 30 salons around Sweden. He had an industry insight when he noticed that only a few hair products sold on a regular basis. It gave him the idea of creating REF, which stands for Find your Reference. This enables hairdressers and consumers to find their specific reference of hair product.

The REF product assortment was based on the must-haves from established salons. Only top quality, highly requested products were created from our Scandinavian heritage and point of view. REF became an inspiring and innovative beauty brand focusing on professional haircare, taking on an international market.

“I would describe the Swedish standard as very high. Us Swedes are extremely aware when it comes to fashion, interior, health and beauty, and in front of all, diversity. I would like to poke my chin out and say that we´re amongst the best ones in the world when it comes to all this, without a doubt.”
