It depends on what you want the hair to do. Novak Keratin smooths with heat and is the one to choose for the least frizz possible. It is $215 to $295 and takes about two and a half hours. Monay Hair Cryotherapy works cold and keeps the hair's natural movement. It is from $350 and takes three to four hours.
Yes. Monay Hair Cryotherapy has no formaldehyde and no fumes. A sub-zero iron seals a vegan formula into each strand. Synergy Hair Melbourne, 717 Centre Road, Bentleigh East, is the only salon in Melbourne offering it.
Monay is safe on coloured and bleached hair, and its Collagen Therapy is the one for dry, brittle or chemically damaged hair. It adds a collagen step, from $50. There are also two shorter in-salon treatments: Lakmé K2.0 ($50), which restores and strengthens, and evo Top Drop ($45), a nourishing basin treatment.
With Novak Keratin, yes. It is colour safe and can be applied the same day as a colour. With Monay Cryotherapy, leave about 10 days either side of a colour.
Novak rates its keratin treatment at up to five months. Monay lasts up to seven months. Both depend on aftercare: a sulphate-free shampoo for keratin, and the Monay shampoo, conditioner and mask for Monay.
After Monay, yes. You can wash your hair the same day. Novak Keratin stays in the hair for a day or three before the first wash, depending on your hair, and we tell you exactly how long.
No. Novak smooths frizz and keeps natural movement, and Monay is for smooth hair that still moves. If you want the hair held straighter, keratin is the one, and we adjust how we seal it.

Look for the two velvet chairs in the window. Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.
It helps. The consultation is free and takes 15 minutes. We look at how much frizz and curl you have and what you want the hair to do, and confirm the price before we begin.
Book by the length of your hair. If you are between two lengths for Monay, book the shorter one and we will adjust in the chair.
717 Centre Road, Bentleigh East VIC 3165, minutes from Bentleigh, McKinnon, Ormond and Moorabbin, with street parking on Centre Road and the side streets. Open Tuesday to Saturday.
