THE FESTIVE EDIT
Every Christmas we get the same question at the desk: “What do I get someone when I don’t really know their hair?” This year, we’ve got a really good answer.
Our Davines festive gift boxes have arrived at both MAJOR salons, Abington Grove and Weston Favell, and they’re some of the nicest gifts we’ve ever had on our shelves. Each one is a proper salon haircare routine made for a specific hair type, packed into an illustrated box that’s far too lovely to bin on Boxing Day.
This year’s theme: finding a new rhythm
Davines have built this year’s collection around music. Every box is covered in illustrations of instruments and the characters playing them, from harps and trumpets to drum kits and guitars. The idea behind it is simple: every voice is different, and that’s exactly what makes the music work.
We love that, because it’s how we think about hair too. No two heads of hair are the same, which is why there isn’t one box for everyone. There’s one for each hair type.

Which box for which person?
Here’s how we’d match them up if you were stood at our desk right now.
For the frizz fighter
If their hair puffs up the second they step out into a damp Northampton morning, the LOVE Smoothing Box is the one. It’s all about softness and taming frizz, and the OI All In One Milk is a little bottle they’ll reach for every single day.
For the colour lover
Just had a fresh balayage or a festive colour? The MINU Colour Box helps keep that shine and vibrancy going for longer, so the colour they’ve invested in still looks great in January.
For the one who’s put their hair through a lot
Bleach, straighteners, curling tongs, party season. If their hair has had a big year, the NOUNOU Nourishing Box is proper TLC. It’s also the biggest saving of the three, with £24 off.
For the one you’re not quite sure about
Don’t guess. Tell us a little about who it’s for and we’ll point you to the right box in seconds. That’s the bit you don’t get when you buy a gift set off a supermarket shelf.
For you
It’s been a long year. If one of these happens to end up in your own bathroom, we won’t tell anyone.
Why buy your Christmas gifts from a local salon?
When you pick up a gift set from us, you get the advice along with it. Our team work with every hair type, every day, so we can help you find the box that will genuinely suit the person opening it.
You’re also supporting a family-run Northampton business. MAJOR has been looking after hair in this town since 1992, and every gift box bought from our shelves helps keep it that way. We really do appreciate it.
How to get yours
Pop in to either salon, no appointment needed, or ask at the desk next time you’re in with us. These are limited edition, so once they’re gone, they’re gone until next Christmas.
