Comparing the two hair care lines, Kérastase and Davines, we trust in our Chilliwack hair salon.
You might think we’re having a case of split personality over here at Create Space in Chilliwack, B.C. based on our intense love for both Davines and Kérastase products. After all, Davines takes a totally natural approach using high-quality natural ingredients to formulate their line, while Kérastase relies on the power of science to formulate their products. But let us assure you that carrying both lines is an intentional decision. We’ve accepted that we want all the options for our clients’ hair—even if that means needing a lot of extra shelf space. In order to give you the most personalized service that puts the health of your hair first, we’ve embraced this inner conflict so we can cater to your individualized needs. Here’s why our Chilliwack hair salon trusts and uses both Kérastase and Davines.
Holistic Versus Scientific
The two brands we carry at Create Space in Chilliwack, BC, Davines and Kérastase, take different approaches to hair care. Davines is all about harnessing natural effective ingredients, while Kérastase is all about the power of science. But choosing between natural and scientifically advanced hair care products offers distinct benefits. Natural products, which often include botanical extracts and essential oils, provide gentle care and nurture your hair with ingredients that are kind to both your hair and scalp. These products are great for maintaining overall hair health and provide many of our clients peace of mind knowing exactly how to pronounce each ingredient on the label. On the flip side, scientifically advanced products use the latest technology and targeted ingredients to tackle specific hair concerns like damage, dryness, or colour maintenance with high precision. They’re designed to deliver quick, effective results by addressing particular issues with specialized formulations.

Why We Love Davines Natural Approach
Davines is a celebrated Italian hair care brand known for its sustainable beauty products, blending eco-friendly practices with luxurious hair treatments. The company was founded in 1983 in Parma, Italy, by the Bollati family, initially as a research lab that produced high-end hair care products for renowned cosmetic companies worldwide. Eventually, Davines shifted its focus to crafting its own brand of hair care products under the philosophy of sustainable beauty. They’re big on eco-friendly practices, using renewable energy and recyclable packaging while sourcing their ingredients responsibly. Their artisanal approach means they use traditional methods alongside modern technology to craft luxurious items that look as good as they work. Plus, with their sleek, minimalist packaging and a range of products designed for different hair types, Davines makes it easy to find something just right for your hair care needs.
Scientific Magic Courtesy of Kérastase
Kérastase, a premier French hair care brand, epitomizes luxury and sophistication in the realm of professional hair products. Founded in 1964 as part of the esteemed L’Oréal Group, Kérastase was established with a mission to provide bespoke, high-quality hair care solutions tailored to individual hair needs. Renowned for its innovative formulations, Kérastase integrates advanced scientific research with the finest natural ingredients to create transformative hair products. The brand is celebrated for its iconic lines, such as Nutritive, designed to deeply moisturize and nourish. Kérastase is known for using cutting-edge ingredients and proprietary formulas that deliver both immediate and long-term benefits. By investing heavily in research, Kérastase ensures their products are both innovative and high-performing, providing premium ingredients that make hair care feel indulgent and effective. Kérastase continues to set the standard in the hair care industry, offering a range of products that promise not only to beautify but also to enhance the health of the hair, ensuring that each user experiences the ultimate in personal luxury and hair care excellence—and personal luxury is what we are all about here at Create Space.
Choosing The Best For Your Hair
You get why we couldn’t choose just one, right? Davines and Kérastase are both top-quality lines that nourish and love on your hair, they just take different paths to get there. So when it comes to deciding which camp you’re going to sit in, you can infuse your own personal preferences into it. Choosing between the two ultimately depends on what matters most to you—whether it’s the eco-friendly, gentle qualities of natural products of Davines or the high-performance, targeted solutions offered by science-based formulations of Kérastase. When you’re deciding which line is right for you, we recommend mulling the following questions. Side note: Both Davines and Kerastase have quizzes on their websites to guide you through a proper vibe check. Also tell us your results so we can compare and contrast, we love a quiz!
What are your primary hair concerns?
Understanding your primary hair concerns is a great place to start. If you’re dealing with dryness, damage, curl maintenance, or colour treatment needs, both Davines and Kérastase have effective solutions. Davines is great for a more natural approach to repairing and hydrating hair, while Kérastase offers advanced formulations that provide targeted treatments for damage, colour protection, and more. If your main concern is volume, both brands have options, but Kérastase’s scientifically developed products might offer more immediate volume enhancement.
How important is an eco-friendly approach to you?
If sustainability and natural ingredients are important to you, Davines is an excellent choice. They emphasize eco-friendly practices and use a lot of natural ingredients in their formulations. Kérastase, while focusing on scientific innovation and performance, is less centered on eco-friendly practices compared to Davines. If you’re passionate about supporting brands that prioritize environmental responsibility, Davines aligns well with those values.
Do you experience any allergies or sensitivities?
If you have allergies or sensitive skin, it’s crucial to check ingredient lists carefully. Davines uses a lot of natural ingredients, which might be gentler on sensitive skin, but it’s still important to review specific products for potential allergens. Kérastase uses advanced ingredients and technology, so if you have sensitivities, you might want to look into their formulations or consult with our stylists to ensure they’re suitable for you.
What kind of results are you looking for?
If you’re seeking immediate, high-performance results, Kérastase’s scientifically advanced products might be more appealing. They’re designed to deliver rapid and effective results through cutting-edge technology. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more gradual improvement with a focus on nurturing and maintaining hair health using natural ingredients, Davines offers a more holistic approach. Consider whether you prioritize fast results or a more natural, gradual enhancement of your hair’s health.
