All About Hair: Davines Awards Its Latest Batch of Talented Creative Stylists

Once in a while, we turn our attention from awe-inspiring makeup looks, to breathtaking hair creations executed by some of the finest hairstylits in the country. While makeup is something you can learn on your own via Youtube or Instagram videos, the skill of cutting, styling, and coloring hair is something that has to be learned formally in order to be considered a pro. At Davines Philippines, they are experts at teaching individuals to become hair pros, nothing less.

Apart from enhancing its students' skills in the technical aspect, their personality and presentation were also developed, equipping them further for professional challenges to come. Along with all this, Davines makes sure to highlight its advocacy of sustainability and caring for Mother Nature via products that are respectful of the environment, and with this course, students were also educated on this important brand thrust. They were made to do creations under the "Water, Earth, and Air" theme to further promote the cause.
