Hair salon in Umeå

 A new owner has taken over Frisören & Kreatören in central Umeå and the salon is as awsome as ever.

Same quirky vintage interior, friendly staff and great coffee. I just love the new name Frisörkollektivet!

Visit the new website Frisörkollektivet i Umeå > They sell luxury organic haircare Rahua, swedish made Bruns Products and La Cordier. Davines is also a semi natural brand stocked, not for me, I'll stay in the all organic area!

The quirky interior features a real birch tree, a cute bird clock , reindeer horn coat hanger and much more. It's a must see in real life.

Dafna's Skincare

A beautiful advanced natural skincare brand from Spain, based on Ayurveda and natural ingredients.

The range is small but has most products I need for my daily routine.

I have tried a few of the products that were sent to me by Swedish Beauty Factory.

Nutrition is an aromatherapeutic night treatment/night cream. It has a soft creamy texture and is added after the evening cleansing ritual. I love the earthy scent and the rich light brown color.

Let's focus on the evening ritual since I got the Recovery Cleanser, Serum and Nutrition. I would have added Eye Care in there too if I were a customer but now I used Kahinas Prickly Pear Seed Oil Rollerball instead.

I began by washing my face with Recovery Cleanser, a luxurious balm to milk cleanser that removes dirt and makeup, at the moment I use NUI Cosmetics natural mascara which can be difficult to remove but with Dafna's cleanser it was easy. Afterwards the face felt moisturized and clean at the same, lovely for my dry skin!

I followed my cleansing with Dafna's Serum, an advanced active formula. It's important to note that Dafna's products are all active so if your skin is sensitve and easily irritated, it can be clever to go for a soothing skincare brand instead. These products are amazing for creating results and a glowing healthy skin though! 

After the Serum I applied Kahinas Prickly Pear Seed Oil in the rollerball around my eyes but if I were to completely go for Dafna's I would have used their Eye Care instead.

Finishing off the evening routine I applied Nutrition, the active night treatment that is like a face mask left over night. In the morning my face felt moisturized and soft. 

Dafna's is the perfect brand for all organic beauty lovers out there looking for a brand with natural active ingredients that helps combat dryness and signs of ageing.

Eco friendly hair salon in Umeå, Sweden

My favorite place to get my hair done in Sweden!

Beauty Factory Umeå is an eco friendly hair salon that gives you an instant calmness boost.

The decor is modern in subtle colors and as you enter, you walk down a set of steps and the whole salon is below ground level but has a few small windows so you get a bit of daylight, but you will not be sitting in your foils viewable to all that passes by.

The salon has a quite neutral scent as the chemicals used are gentler. They work with the ammonia and PPD free hair color from Original&Mineral Australia and when they style your hair they use either natural och organic products from among others John Masters Organics, Less is More Haircare, Edge Cosmetics and Per Purr.

LURK Natural Fragrances

I just found them, or they have lurking around on my Instagram for some time but I haven't quite paid attention until I needed a new perfume.

I got a few different samples of LURK made perfumes and I'm in love. The bottles are gorgeous, the name is different and eye catching, the logo and the packaging is just perfect.

They are hand made in SoHo New York using only pure essential oils in a base of jojoba oil.

The Organic Pharamcy

I have been a fan of The Organic Pharmacy for years, ever since I saw their store on my way to work on a dusty Sunday morning in London heading down Kensington High Street.

The Organic Pharmacy is a natural skincare line that is based on the healing powers of plants and homeopathy. Except for a large line of skincare including mens care, baby care and even makeup under a sub label named Organic Glam, they have herbal pills and tinctures to cure most ailments from the inside out.

A few of my favourites are the Jasmine Night Conditiong Spray, a facial mist to replace your daily toner that not only has a divine scent (I love Jasmine!) but also gives your skin a boost during the night. The Carrot Butter Cleanser is a classic that I know I'm not the only love loving, it's a daily cleanser that is like a salve, it is a very efficient cleanser and takes away everything, including eye pencils and mascara.

I always buy my The Organic Pharmacy products at Swedish Beauty Factory.
