Hair Care That Cares: Why Salon 574 & Spa Trusts Davines

When we opened Salon 574 & Spa in Warsaw, Indiana, one of the first decisions we made was which professional hair care line to use and retail. It is not a decision we took lightly. The products we use on our clients' hair — and the products we send them home with — are a direct reflection of our values and our commitment to their hair health.

We chose Davines. And the more we have used it, the more confident we are in that choice.

Who Is Davines?

Davines is a family-owned Italian professional hair care brand, founded in Parma in 1983 by the Bollati family. What started as a cosmetics research laboratory grew into one of the most respected professional hair care brands in the world — present in more than 90 countries, sold exclusively through professional salons, and certified as a B Corporation with a score of 117.4.

That B Corp certification matters. It means Davines has been independently verified to meet rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. A score of 117.4 places Davines among the highest-performing B Corps in the beauty industry. This is not greenwashing — it is a legally binding commitment to doing business the right way.

What Makes Davines Different?

Artisan Formulations from Parma, Italy

Every Davines product is developed at the Davines Village in Parma — a purpose-built campus that runs on renewable energy and houses the brand's research, production, and sustainability operations. The formulations favor ingredients of natural origin, processed with advanced cosmetic technology. The result is products that feel luxurious and perform at the highest professional level.

Sustainability That Goes Beyond Packaging

Davines' commitment to sustainability goes far beyond using recycled packaging (though they do that too). In 2021, Davines partnered with the Rodale Institute to found EROC — the European Regenerative Organic Center — a 17-hectare research hub dedicated to regenerative agriculture and sustainable ingredient sourcing. The brand has joined the Science-based Targets Initiative to reduce emissions with science-backed goals. In 2026, Davines evolved its philosophy to 'For a Good Life' — a reflection of values that extend beyond the product to the people who make it and use it.

Salon-Exclusive Distribution

Davines products are sold exclusively through professional salons. This is not just a business model — it is a quality commitment. By keeping their products in professional hands, Davines ensures that clients receive guidance on the right products for their specific hair type and concerns. When you buy Davines at Salon 574 & Spa, your stylist is not just selling you a shampoo — they are recommending a product based on your hair's specific needs.

The Davines Product Lines We Love at Salon 574 & Spa

OI — For All Hair Types

The OI line is formulated with Roucou oil — a natural oil derived from the seeds of the Bixa orellana tree, rich in carotenoids, vitamin A, and selenium. Roucou oil has remarkable protective and antioxidant properties that deliver extraordinary shine, softness, and manageability to any hair type. The OI All In One Milk is one of our most popular retail products — a leave-in treatment that controls frizz, protects from heat up to 450°F, and adds shine without weighing hair down. If you have never tried a professional leave-in treatment, this is the one to start with.

NOUNOU — For Damaged and Processed Hair

NOUNOU is formulated specifically for damaged, processed, or brittle hair. If you have been through color corrections, bleaching, or years of heat styling, NOUNOU is designed to restore softness, strengthen the hair shaft, and improve manageability. The NOUNOU shampoo uses a gentle cleansing formula that nourishes while it cleanses — a significant departure from sulfate-heavy drugstore shampoos that strip color and moisture with every wash.

MOMO — For Dry and Dehydrated Hair

MOMO is the hydration line — designed for hair that feels dry, dull, or thirsty. The MOMO serum provides weightless, deep hydration and heat protection up to 450°F. For clients in Warsaw and the surrounding area who deal with dry winters and humidity-fluctuating summers, MOMO is a seasonal essential. Dry hair is more prone to breakage, frizz, and color fade — consistent hydration is the preventive solution.

MINU — For Color-Treated Hair

MINU is our go-to recommendation for any client who invests in professional color services. The MINU shampoo and conditioner use color-protecting ingredients that seal the hair cuticle and prevent color fade between salon visits. For clients who get balayage, highlights, or any color service at Salon 574 & Spa, MINU is the at-home product that protects that investment. Using a color-protective shampoo can extend the life of your color by weeks — which means fewer touch-up appointments and more money in your pocket.

Why Professional Products Matter for Your Hair Health

We understand that professional hair products cost more than drugstore alternatives. But the comparison is not apples to apples. Professional products are formulated at higher concentrations with salon-grade ingredients that drugstore products cannot match. A professional shampoo typically requires a smaller amount per wash, meaning the bottle lasts longer than its drugstore equivalent.

More importantly, the right professional products actively support the health of your hair between appointments. Clients who use professional products consistently come in with healthier, more manageable hair — which means better color results, longer-lasting cuts, and fewer corrective treatments. The investment in professional products pays for itself in the quality of your salon results.
