Why Davines
Our purpose at Davines is to do our best for the world, creating a good life for everyone through beauty, ethics, and sustainability. As a flagship Davines salon, Detlev strives to set an example for environmental leadership and sustainable responsibility, using business as a positive force to regenerate both humanity and nature.
Davines salons and spas are founded on the common ideal of Sustainable Beauty: an inseparable equilibrium between substance and shape, simplicity, and good taste. Our Davines certified professionals are trained to serve your every need with scientific honesty, artisanal care, and exemplary service.
Davines was founded in Parma, Italy, in 1983 by the Bollati family, beginning as a high-end cosmetic research laboratory before evolving into a world leader in professional haircare. The name “Davines” was created by combining the names of Davide Bollati and his sister Stefania, guided by the vision to provide beauty professionals with scientific, botanical products that honor the individual and the Earth.
As a B Corp and Benefit Corporation, Davines represents an opportunity to spark positive global change, starting with the products we use on our hair and skin and how those products are made. The Bollati family believes that “by creating beauty sustainably, we encourage people to take care of themselves, of the environment in which they live and work, and of the things they love.”
Davines products prioritize natural-origin ingredients, utilizing active ingredients sourced from Italian Slow Food Presidia farms to protect native biodiversity. They are cruelty-free, non-toxic, and created with cutting-edge cosmetic science that delivers powerful and proven results. Davines powers its facilities using renewable energy and prioritizes sustainable, eco-designed packaging practices to reduce its carbon footprint.
