                                                Rapunzel of Sweden - Our story

                                                 

                                                At Rapunzel of Sweden, we create fabulous hair days, every day! With 15 years of expertise in the industry, a passion for customer service and a wide range of high quality hair extensions, both permanent and temporary, our range appeals to both the general public and hairdressers.
                                                 
                                                Rapunzel of Sweden was born when the founder, Ida Backlund, cut her hair at a young age. However, she soon regretted it and wanted her long hair back, but realised that there was a real shortage of high-quality hair extensions available to the general public. So she decided to fill the gap in the market. Ida had a clear vision – offering hair extensions of the highest quality with the best possible service, and a clear focus on the idea of do-it-yourself. She started Rapunzel of Sweden in 2007.
                                                 
                                                Today, we are Northern Europe’s leading player in hair extensions via rapunzelofsweden.com and have won numerous prizes and awards over the years. We also have our own salons in Sweden and Finland, where our experts confidently bring our customers’ hair-related dreams to life, every day.
                                                 
                                                Despite our booming success, we have never lost our focus. For us, quality and service are always our top priorities, and we work continuously to develop and bring out new products that give our customers the very best.
