Cold treatments
Cold treatments: restoration, Japanese care, scalp peel, polishing
No heat, no change of structure. These services work on condition, on the scalp and on the ends, and they often come before a smoothing service.
Treatments in Austin and surrounding areas.
In short
Cold work is where most repair actually happens. Nothing here reshapes the hair. The goal is a healthier base, and sometimes that is the whole plan.
Mila builds a mix for your hair rather than running one standard protocol on everyone.
Who it suits
- Damaged, dry or over processed hair
- Lightened hair that cannot take a hot service yet
- An oily or flaking scalp
- Long hair with split ends that you do not want to cut off
Who it does not suit
- Anyone who wants curl removed. Cold work does not straighten hair.
How it works
Cold services do not change the shape of the hair. They change its condition. Porous hair has gaps where moisture and protein have been lost, and a restoration mix of amino acids, vitamins and moisture fills those gaps without heat.
The scalp is part of the same system. Oil, product and dead skin build up around the follicles, and a clean, calm scalp is where healthy hair starts. Polishing then takes care of the ends without costing you length.
Four ways to repair without heat
Cold restoration
Moisture, amino acids and nutrition for hair that feels dry, rough or weak. Nothing about the structure changes.
Scalp peel
Removes oil, product buildup and dead skin, with a massage that brings circulation to the scalp. Care products work better on a clean scalp.
Hair polishing
Hair is smoothed, then passed through a guard that trims only the split ends sticking out along the length. The length itself stays.
Japanese care
A multi step care system for dry, dull hair, chosen and layered by Mila at the visit.
Results depend on the condition your hair starts from. Mila confirms what is realistic after the diagnosis.
What you get
The result, described honestly
Softer, stronger feeling hair, a calmer scalp and ends that look finished.
Repair is cumulative. One visit helps, a plan helps more, and Mila will be straight with you about which one your hair needs.

Step by step
How the visit goes
Diagnostics
Hair and scalp are assessed before anything is chosen.
Scalp first
If the scalp needs it, the peel comes before the length work.
The mix
Vitamins, amino acids, moisture and nutrition in the proportion your hair needs.
Finish
Drying, styling and a home care plan.
Aftercare
- Home care matters more here than with any other service.
- Mila gives you a short list, not a shelf of products.
- Come back for the next step at the interval you agree at the visit.
Pricing
Price depends on length and density, so there is no single number that would be honest. Send photos of your hair on WhatsApp and Mila will quote your case.
