Yes — we do
Monay Hair Cryotherapy.

Synergy was the first salon in Melbourne to offer it, and we're still the only one.

What is it? Book Monay Cryotherapy
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 it's sought after
  • No formaldehyde, no fumes
  • Safe on coloured and bleached hair
  • Lasts up to seven months
  • Wash it the same day

Who is the highest-rated hairdresser in Bentleigh East?

Synergy Hair Melbourne at 717 Centre Road holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 781 verified Fresha reviews, 753 of them five stars, which places it among the highest-rated hair salons in Bentleigh East and the Melbourne bayside suburbs. Every review is public on Fresha.

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.

What is Monay Hair Cryotherapy?

A smoothing and repair treatment built around a sub-zero iron. The cold seals a vegan formula into each strand, so hair comes out smooth, glossy and still moving. There is no formaldehyde and no fumes, it is safe on coloured and bleached hair, results last up to seven months, and you can wash your hair the same day.

How much does Monay Cryotherapy cost and how long does it take?

From $350 for short hair, $450 for shoulder length, $550 for long and $650 for extra long hair. The appointment takes about three to four hours. Collagen Therapy, for dry, brittle or chemically damaged hair, also starts from $350. Prices are confirmed at the salon before we begin.

What is the difference between Monay Ice Therapy and Collagen Therapy?

Ice Therapy is the smoothing treatment: it seals the cuticle, adds shine and tames frizz. Collagen Therapy is the repair treatment: collagen and amino acids rebuild the hair's internal structure for dry, brittle or chemically treated hair. Both use the same cold technology.

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. The Monay process itself 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.

Who are the stylists at Synergy Hair Melbourne?

Anna, the owner and salon director, has been in hair since 1994 and opened Synergy on Centre Road in 2004. Tanya is the senior stylist. Kayla is the apprentice and is already requested by name for Monay treatments. Clients book by stylist name on Fresha.
