About Zennkai
32 Years of Professional Beauty — Made Accessible
At Zennkai, we believe great hair isn't created by trends, hype, or mass-market shortcuts. They’re created through professional knowledge, quality products, and intentional care. That belief comes from over three decades in the professional beauty industry.
We are a Canadian-based professional beauty retailer, founded by Milajne Soligo, salon owner and retail expert with 32 years of hands-on experience in haircare and client education. Zennkai exists to bring salon-grade haircare to everyday people — without inflated pricing or confusing marketing.
Founded by Professionals — Built for Real People
Zennkai was founded by Milajne Soligo, a salon industry professional with over 30 years of hands-on experience working directly with clients. Alongside our talented team of stylists and product specialists, we’re passionate about creating an elevated salon experience—one rooted in expert care, personalized service, and education that empowers you to look and feel your best.
For years, we watched two things happen:
- Drugstores flooded the market with low-quality haircare
- Professional products became expensive and inaccessible
Everyday consumers were left choosing between cheap products that damaged their hair or professional products they couldn’t easily afford. We decided to change that. Zennkai was created to make professional haircare accessible, affordable, and understandable — without compromising quality or breaking the bank.
Why We Do Things Differently
Our biggest frustration with big beauty retailers has always been simple: They don’t have professionals guiding customers.
Most large retailers rely on:
- Trend cycles
- Influencer marketing
- Generic product descriptions
- Sales-driven recommendations
As a result, people often buy products that aren’t right for their hair type, damage their scalp or strands, create buildup and breakage, and waste money without seeing results. On top of that, many customers are surprised to find they’re often paying more — not less — for professional products at large retailers.
At Zennkai, we operate differently.
As a small, Canadian business, we are able to purchase in volume and pass those savings directly to our customers. We don’t inflate pricing to fund massive marketing budgets. Instead, we invest in better sourcing, the best education, and high standard service. Our advice is rooted in experience, not sales. We understand hair health, scalp balance, and the long-term impact of product choices — and we guide our customers accordingly.
Our Mission: Professional Guidance Without the Salon Price Tag
Our mission is to give people what we wished existed years ago:
✔ Access to high quality, salon-grade products
✔ Honest, professional guidance and advice

We believe everyone deserves professional-level care — not just salon clients.

Education Is Our Foundation
Â
After 32 years in this industry, we’ve learned one truth: The wrong product, used incorrectly, can undo months — or even years — of good care.
That’s why education is central to everything we do. We focus on:
- Teaching proper routines
- Explaining ingredients
- Preventing common mistakes
- Setting realistic expectations
We don’t want you guessing - We want you succeeding!
