Our Favourite Brands at Envy Beauty Den: Great Hair, Healthy Skin & Thoughtful Choices

At Envy Beauty Den, our hair salon and day spa in Campbell River, we choose professional haircare and skincare with your everyday routine in mind. From Amika, Maria Nila, and Davines to Dermalogica, our favourite brands offer options for different hair types, styling needs and skin concerns. We also purchase through Canadian distributors wherever possible and stock gifts from local makers - because caring for our clients and supporting our Local Campbell River, Vancouver Island and Canadian communities go hand in hand.

Amika: Targeted Haircare With Personality

Great haircare isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s one of the reasons we love Amika: its collections offer options for different hair types, textures and goals, including nourishment, strength, repair, volume and smoothing. It’s also cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.

At Envy, we reach for Amika when helping clients build routines around concerns such as dryness, damage and everyday styling. Whether you’re looking for more moisture, a repair-focused treatment or heat protection, our goal is to help you choose products that fit your hair, not add unnecessary steps to your routine.

Although Amika is an American brand, we are able to support our Canadian distributors/suppliers. Supporting Canadian suppliers wherever possible is an important part of how we shop for our business. It allows us to offer an international brand we love while directing our purchasing through businesses here in Canada.

Maria Nila: Vegan Haircare for Softness, Shine & Colour Care

Maria Nila brings together professional haircare and a thoughtful approach to animal welfare. This Swedish brand is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, with certifications from Leaping Bunny, PETA and The Vegan Society. Its product philosophy also emphasizes colour protection and climate-compensated packaging.

We love helping clients explore Maria Nila for routines focused on soft, shiny, healthy-looking hair. From moisture and hydration to styling and heat protection, we choose products around your texture, colour and everyday needs.

For clients with extensions, we can help select suitable products based on your extension type and aftercare requirements, rather than treating every formula as interchangeable.

Maria Nila’s environmental commitments are another reason it has a place on our shelves. The company produces its products in its own Swedish factory and describes efforts to reduce packaging materials, use recycled materials where possible and support climate-compensation projects.

For us, it’s about finding products you enjoy using while paying attention to the choices behind them.

Davines: Italian Haircare With a Focus on Hair, Scalp & Sustainability

Founded in Parma, Italy, Davines combines professional haircare with an emphasis on sustainability. Its approach includes thoughtfully sourced ingredients, renewable electricity in production and packaging designed to reduce environmental impact.

We love Davines for its focus on both the hair and scalp. Its collections offer options for hydration, repair, styling and targeted scalp care, making it a versatile choice when building a routine around your individual concerns.

That might mean looking after colour-treated hair, bringing softness back to dry lengths or giving your scalp more attention. We’re here to help connect the products you use at home with the goals you’re working toward in the salon.

Animal welfare matters, too. Davines does not test its products or formulation ingredients on animals, or delegate that testing to third parties.

Dermalogica: Skincare That Starts With Your Concerns

Your skin doesn’t need the same routine as everyone else’s. That’s why we love Dermalogica’s concern-led approach: choosing products around what your skin needs, rather than expecting one collection to do everything for everyone.

The line includes options for hydration, gentle exfoliation, brightening, sun protection and care for breakout-prone or sensitized skin. Daily Microfoliant, for example, is a rice-based powder exfoliant designed to brighten and smooth the skin.

At Envy, we can help you build a routine around goals such as:

• Supporting your skin’s moisture barrier.

• Improving the appearance of dullness, uneven tone and hyperpigmentation.

• Addressing the appearance of fine lines.

• Caring for acne-prone skin.

• Maintaining a consistent everyday routine.

We source Dermalogica through Canadian distributors, continuing our commitment to supporting Canadian suppliers wherever possible. Dermalogica is also cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.

Local Gifts With a Personal Touch

Our love of thoughtful products extends beyond haircare and skincare.

We also stock gifts from local vendors, small businesses and artists, including jewellery, candles, mugs, cards and scrunchies. These pieces bring something personal to our shelves, whether you’re choosing a birthday gift, adding a little something to a self-care package or treating yourself.

We’re proud to give other small businesses space to be discovered. When you shop these items at Envy, you’re supporting the creativity and hard work of the people behind them, too.

Supporting Community & the Next Generation

Our commitment to community goes beyond what we stock.

We’ve supported groups and causes including Rotary, Cameryn’s Cause and sports teams such as Campbell River Storm and The Killer Whales swim team. We also participate in a BC trades apprenticeship program, helping support the next generation entering our industry.

These are different ways of putting the same value into practice: Community. From purchasing through Canadian distributors to stocking local makers and supporting training opportunities, we want our business decisions to reflect the people and places that support us.
