Monay Hair Cryotherapy
in Melbourne.

Synergy was the first salon in Melbourne to offer it, and we're still the only one. Every other Australian salon doing Monay is in New South Wales.

What it is

Smoothing by cold, not by chemistry.

A sub-zero iron seals a vegan formula into each strand. Hair comes out smooth, glossy and still moving. Cold where it counts, and nothing harsh.

Why people seek it out
  • No formaldehyde, no fumes
  • Safe on coloured and bleached hair
  • Lasts up to seven months
  • Wash it the same day
  • Keeps the hair's natural movement

What to expect

The appointment, start to finish.

  1. Consultation

    We look at your hair, talk through what you want it to do, and choose Ice Therapy or Collagen Therapy. Length and thickness set the price, and we confirm it before we begin.

  2. Wash and prep

    A clarifying wash so the formula can get into the hair, then the hair is sectioned and the Monay formula is applied strand by strand.

  3. The cold iron

    The Monay iron runs sub-zero. It seals the formula into the cuticle. No heat, no fumes, no smell.

  4. Processing

    The treatment is timed to the second under the Monay unit. Allow about three to four hours in the chair all up.

  5. Home the same day

    You can wash your hair that night. Results last up to seven months. Use the Monay shampoo, conditioner and mask to keep them.

Before you book

Is Monay right for your hair?

Straight answers, so you can decide before you sit down. If it is not the right treatment for you we will say so at the consultation.

It suits you if

  • Frizz, dullness or hair that fights you every morning
  • Coloured, bleached or previously chemically treated hair
  • You want smooth hair that still moves, not poker straight
  • You have reacted badly to keratin fumes before
  • You want to wash your hair the same day

It may not be for you if

  • You want dead-straight hair, keratin holds straighter
  • You cannot sit for three to four hours
  • You are not willing to change shampoo, results fade fast without the right aftercare
  • You want a result for this weekend on a tight budget, this starts at $350

What changes the price

  • Length is the main one, $350 short up to $650 to the bra strap
  • Thickness, or a length between two brackets, adds $50
  • Collagen Therapy instead of Ice Therapy adds $50
  • Price is confirmed at the consultation before anything starts

Which appointment do I book? Book by the length of your hair, not by the therapy. Ear length is short, around the shoulder is medium, below the shoulder is long, past the bra strap is extra long. If you are between two, book the shorter one and we will adjust in the chair. Choose Collagen Therapy if your hair is dry, brittle or chemically damaged; otherwise Ice Therapy is the standard.

Ice Therapy or Collagen Therapy?

Both use the same cold technology. They do different jobs.

Where can I get Monay Hair Cryotherapy in Melbourne?

Synergy Hair Melbourne, 717 Centre Road, Bentleigh East, is the only salon in Melbourne offering Monay Hair Cryotherapy. Synergy was the first Melbourne salon to introduce it. Every other Australian salon offering Monay is in New South Wales.

How much does Monay Cryotherapy cost?

From $350 for short hair, $450 for shoulder length, $550 for long and $650 for extra long hair. Collagen Therapy adds a $50 step, and extra-thick hair is $50 more. Prices are confirmed at the salon before we begin.

How long does the appointment take?

About three to four hours, depending on length. Short hair is booked for three and a quarter hours, extra long for three and three-quarter hours.

How long does Monay last?

Up to seven months. Keeping results that long means washing with the Monay shampoo, conditioner and mask rather than a supermarket alternative.

Is Monay Cryotherapy better than keratin?

They do different jobs. Traditional keratin straightens with heat and can involve formaldehyde and a waiting period before washing. Monay works cold, has no formaldehyde or fumes, keeps the hair's natural movement, and can be washed the same day. Synergy offers both: Novak Keratin from $215 and Monay Cryotherapy from $350.

Can I have Monay on coloured or bleached hair?

Yes. Monay is safe on coloured and bleached hair, and the cold process does not lift colour the way heat can. Tell us at the consultation if your hair has been chemically treated so we can choose between Ice and Collagen Therapy.

Can I wash my hair the same day?

Yes. Unlike most keratin systems there is no waiting period. You can wash your hair the night of the appointment.

Which suburbs do you serve?

We are on Centre Road in Bentleigh East, minutes from Bentleigh, McKinnon, Ormond, Moorabbin, Oakleigh South and Brighton East, with street parking on Centre Road and the side streets. Clients come from across Melbourne for Monay because nobody else in the city offers it.
