Founded by local Houstonian Kristin Chandler, MilkBath Hair & Scalp Spa offers customized treatments for dry hair, itchy scalps and hair loss, along with other enhancements.

In a note on the company’s website, Chandler wrote that she was inspired to start the business after experiencing a deep conditioning treatment in Indonesia.

“I couldn’t find anything similar at home, so this journey began,” Chandler wrote. “The concept grew from solely providing deep conditioning treatments to leveraging an array of the best tools, products and techniques geared toward hair and scalp health.”
