Where is your Barbershop located?

In the cold north of Sweden, in a town called Luleå. Among the northern lights in the winter and the midnight sun in the summer. 

When did you start cutting there?

I opened the shop in 2021 with Covid19 still messing with us. Starting with me as a barber, a friend who’s a tattoo artist, and a friend that started a web shop for motorcycle parts. I’ve been rebuilding it every year since then to fit more barber chairs and we are now 3 barbers and a tattoo artist.

How long have you been cutting hair?

I went to London School of Barbering in 2019 with almost no experience except from cutting some friends just before I left for the course. So I’m closing up on 6 years this summer!

How did you first hear about Uppercut Deluxe?

I first saw uppercut t-shirts hanging in a local barbershop window back before I knew a was going to be a barber, and I thought they looked so cool. Then when I opened up my shop a sales guy told me I should try Uppercut Deluxe and I looked into the brand more and it felt so so right from the start. I can’t see myself with any other brand. 

How long have you used Uppercut Deluxe products in the barbershop?

A little over 3 years. And we’ve been Uppercut Deluxe exclusive for over 2 years. Nothing else needed with the full range of products Uppercut Deluxe offers. 

What makes Stålsaxen special?

I would say our relationship with the customers and also the will to evolve. We will never stop learning.

What is your signature haircut/hairstyle?

What I do the most is probably short on the sides and longer on top(duh). But I really like the classics like a side part or a slick back. Preferably scissor work with maybe a taper fade. 

Do you have a message you would like to share with the people reading this?

Please come visit us! I’ve had some barbers visiting our shop earlier and I think it’s so fun to share wisdom with others. Nerds being nerds. And it’s also fun to share the north part of Sweden that not many get to see. And also, Uppercut Deluxe forever, forever Uppercut Deluxe.
