Larsson & Lange

Larsson & Lange is a Swedish hairdressing company based in the Skåne region, combining a chain of salons with an in-house haircare line sold across the Nordics. It was founded in 1991 by stylists Ricard Larsson and Håkan Lange, who met that year and shared a frustration with what they saw as conformity in the Swedish salon trade [2]. The company describes its tagline simply as "your local hair salon chain in Skåne."

The business is dual in nature: a regional salon group centred on Malmö, and a product brand whose shampoos, conditioners and styling items reach customers beyond the salons through Nordic retailers. For a price-comparison context, it is the haircare line that is the relevant entity, though the two grew from the same roots.

According to the company, 1991 was "the year it all began," when Larsson and Lange first met and began trading ideas for changing the industry [2]. Both felt the trade was governed by uniformity, and the pair moved quickly from discussion to opening their first salon. Their stated vision was to build an out-of-the-ordinary haircare chain grounded in design, quality, service and engagement.

The company is registered in Sweden under organisation number 556780-2755, with its salon presence concentrated in the Malmö area and elsewhere in Skåne, including Lund, Helsingborg and Skanör.

From a single salon, Larsson & Lange expanded into a regional chain and added several adjacent businesses: the in-house haircare range marketed as Larsson & Lange Hairwear, a barbershop line trading under the name "the Barber," an education division, and an online shop. The brand site reports the group at twelve salons, four of them barbershop locations, with roughly fifty stylists [2]. A LinkedIn profile gives a lower and apparently older figure of eight salons [8]; the company's own history page is the more current source.

In 2008, founders Ricard Larsson and Håkan Lange were recognised with an award for "Entrepreneurial Excellence for Salon Leadership" at the Global Salon Business Awards in Hollywood [2].

Larsson & Lange frames its approach around three core values: quality, service and engagement [2]. The company places consultation at the centre of its salon work and says its aim is to "consistently deliver the highest possible quality to the customer," creating looks meant to outlast passing trends. On the product side, a retailer description positions the line around recyclable packaging and ingredients presented as gentle to both hair and the environment, with formulas suited to sensitive scalps [5].

The house range covers shampoos, conditioners, styling waxes and sprays, and treatment products. Items the company lists among its bestsellers include the L&L Silver Clean Pigmented Shampoo, a colour-conditioning wash for blonde and grey hair that the brand says neutralises yellow and orange tones; the L&L Fiber Moulding Wax; and the L&L Extra Care Nourishing Conditioner. Other products in distribution include a Deep Clean Detox Shampoo and the Tease Dry Shampoo.

According to the brand's Nordic retail listings, the range is vegan and cruelty-free, manufactured in Sweden, and presented in fully recyclable packaging [5]. Parts of the line are marketed as sulfate-free. These sustainability and animal-welfare claims appear on retailer brand pages rather than on the company's own product index.

Beyond the 2008 salon-leadership award, the product line drew early notice in Swedish beauty media. In 2011, the blog Daisy Beauty gave the brand's volume shampoo a five-out-of-five review, calling it "a volume shampoo that delivers on its promises" [7]. In 2016, the prominent Swedish makeup artist Linda Hallberg endorsed the brand's silver shampoo in a post whose title translated to "the silver shampoo that beats all by miles" [12].

The brand remains active. Its website carries a 2026 copyright notice, its Instagram account shows a continuously updated feed, and its products are still listed and distributed across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark through retailers such as Lyko and Boozt [13]. One individual SKU, the Silver Clean Pigmented Shampoo in the 300 ml size, is marked as discontinued at Lyko [6], but the wider product line stays in circulation.
