Hello Davines! Where High End Beauty + Sustainability Meet

We are excited to announce that we are now carrying Davines at Samuel Cole Salon! Davines is an international, family-owned beauty brand based out of Parma, Italy. Founded in 1993 by the Bollati Family. They had a vision to make sustainable haircare products. To be the best for the world, creators of good life for all, through beauty, ethics and sustainability. Starting in their garage, Davines was created as a combination of letters from siblings Davide and Stefania.


Davines’ philosophy is Sustainable Beauty. Two words, juxtaposed, carried so much importance that Davines wrote a manifesto about expressing ideals like “freedom of expression”, “multicultural curiosity”, “transparency” and “collaboration”.


“AT DAVINES, WE BELIEVE THAT LIVING A BALANCE OF BEAUTY AND SUSTAINABILITY, WHAT WE CALL “SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY,” CAN IMPROVE OUR LIVES AND THE WORLD AROUND US.”
-Davide Bollati, President


Davines value humanity and respect for the environment, so this leading brand makes most of its products carbon-neutral. They want to make a positive impact on the world, by taking responsibility for the planet and improving it. In 2016, they became a B Corporation, or benefit corporation, to use their business as a force for good.
Their products are made from eco-friendly ingredients with an emphasis on scientifically proven effectiveness, and packaged in reusable containers made of reusable, food-grade materials.


Davines is a line that our hair, our skin, and our conscience can love—a combination that’s absolute perfection!

Editorial Styling Genius Dennis Lanni Leads Creative Workshop

Dennis Lanni grew up helping out in his father’s barbershop – sweeping the floor and breathing in the atmosphere and falling in love with the tools, sights and smells. This is where he first learned the importance of hair and how it made people feel.

Dennis Lanni’s passion is making hair sculptures out of everyday objects – he is inspired by wood and stones, and anything he finds while thrifting. His passion for originality drives his work in full-time styling on editorial photo shoots for celebrities and magazines – his work has been featured on the cover of several magazines including Rolling Stone, Fashion, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue. Notable celebrities he has styled include Jared Leto, Miley Cyrus, Amy Winehouse, Courtney Love and Zoey Deschanel. Ad Campaigns Dennis Lanni has styled include mega-brands such as Apple, Coca Cola, Nautica, French Connection, and Chloe.

His most recent work for New York Fashion Week featured Big 60’s Hair adorned with tiny white bows for Sandy Liang, and a variety of ringlets, bobs and mullets for Batsheva, including a fun blonde wig on actress-turned-model Christina Ricci. As much editorial experience as he’s had, Dennis Lanni is a well of innovative creativity that always produces fresh new ideas.

Dennis Lanni is such a smart, skilled stylist and I loved having a front row seat to his whimsical creative process. He literally goes in any direction he feels drawn to, I’m not entirely sure he knows what he’ll end up with before he begins and that’s what he loves about editorial hairstyling. It’s about doing what’s fun and looks cool or different that no one else has tried before.

Spotlight: Tape-In Extensions

Tape-ins have become one of the most popular types of extensions.  They provide a ton of fullness and length, and are a great way to “try out” adding a new color without permanently changing your natural hair.  If you’re interested in wearing hair extensions full time, tape-ins are a great place to start!

With an extended variety of shades, including balayage and rooted shades, the color match will be perfect.  Tape-ins are available from 13” to 25” to give you the fullest hair of your dreams at any length! As with all of our extensions, a haircut will be scheduled with your application appointments to blend the length of your hair seamlessly!

Application Appointments

The first appointment will start with a clarifying shampoo and blow dry to get your hair the cleanest it’s ever been! This will help the tape adhere to the hair, which is expertly placed by our stylists, who are all certified in HairTalk Tape-In Extensions. HairTalk provides only 100% Remy hair (the best) in a variety of shades, lengths, and widths necessary to tailor each extensions experience for every client’s needs.

We will give you all the styling tips for at-home maintenance so that you can get the most out of your new hair.  With proper care, you’ll be ready for us to move up your extensions after 6-8 weeks. Your tape-ins can last up to 3 applications, which is about 6 months!

At Home Maintenance

The cardinal rule for all extensions is keep it detangled, and the most important thing about tape-in extensions is protecting the adhesive at your roots!

Before shampooing your hair, detangle it by holding your hair in ponytail sections away from your face & gently brushing the ends first. Once your ends are detangled, you can brush the middle & higher sections. Ask your stylist about our HairTalk extensions brush to keep your hair intact and tangle-free!

To preserve the adhesive, keep products that contain oils (like conditioner) or alcohol (hairspray) away from your roots.  When using conditioner or hairsprays, apply them on the middle and end-sections of your hair.

After showering, detangle your ends, apply heat-protecting and styling products on your mid-section and ends, and blow dry your hair before it air dries. This keeps your hair detangled to prevent matting! (If you rely heavily on air-drying your hair, beaded weft extensions would be a better fit for you. Check out our post here for more!)

You can do so much more with fuller, longer hair! Give us a call at 919-845-0998 to schedule a consultation with your stylist – our hours are:
M| 10 – 7
T – TH| 9 – 9
F| 9 – 8
Sa| 9 – 7

Master Stylists and Mentors Alley + Katie Hone Coaching Skills in NYC Workshop

Education Team Members Alley Biehl and Katie Purshce took part in the world-renowned 2-day workshop, “Fierce Conversations” in New York City at the acclaimed Bb.U in Manhattan. Based on Susan Scott’s best-selling book Fierce Conversations, the workshop provides a detailed road map for building a stronger team.

Instructors pushed attendees to expand their communication techniques to have conversations focused on passion, integrity and authenticity. The class examined the importance of productive coaching conversations being intelligent, productive discussions that build on and strengthen the culture of our salon.

As a mentor and coach, Fierce Conversations helped me get in the right mindset for focusing conversations on solutions rather than issues at hand. Our culture of feedback is so important to us and knowing how to better cultivate an environment of openness will help me lead my team!
