Davines' StoryFounded in Parma, Italy in 1983 by the Bollati Family, Davines Group started as a research laboratory, producing high-end hair care products for renowned cosmetic companies worldwide. After a decade of honing our expertise, we began creating our own brand of Davines hair care products exclusively for salons, and in 1996 founded [ comfort zone ] skin care for premier spas.
“By creating beauty sustainably, we encourage people to take care of themselves, of the environment in which they live & work, of the things they love.”
Since the beginning, they’ve focused on crafting quality products that are scientifically engineered to work, and express their distinctive style and spirit.
Quality means having the freedom to create the best products with attention and respect for the environment, using high grade, natural ingredients, and applying scientific rigor to every product to guarantee customer safety.
Davines dares to do what they believe in and, rather than conforming to the mainstream, allows intuition to pave their path. This gives them the freedom to develop concepts and products that are original, authentic, and emotionally connected with people. Their work is a thoughtful balance of substance and style, nature and science, people and spirit. It is what enables us to create what we call life-enhancing projects.
More than two decades after its creation, the Davines community spans over 75 countries, thousands of salons and hundreds upon hundreds of passionate hairdressers. Although they continue to grow, with headquarters in Parma, New York City, Paris, London and Mexico City, their roots are firmly planted in their beginnings as a family-owned research laboratory guided by the same desire for quality products with an authentic approach and timeless appeal.
MissionThe aim of Davines is to inspire and improve the work life quality of worldwide beauty professionals through concepts, products and services that will allow them to offer unique experiences to their clients.
BeautyTheir Ideal of Beauty finds its inspiration in the concept of equilibrium between substance and shape, with a style inspired by simplicity, harmony, and good taste.
SustainabilityThe Davines ideal of beauty works through practical and “sustainable” efforts. Sustainability deals with the responsibility we owe to ourselves, the people with which we work, our customers, and the world in which we live and operate.
