Most of all, Mila Professional constitutes a beautiful history born out of passion, development desire and… love
Waldemar Kotecki
Brand founder
Beginning - 2003
Our history began in the year 2003. The brand was established in Bydgoszczy by Waldemar Kotecki – a man closely related to the hairdressing brand for many years. Due to the observation of the professional hair product market in his head slowly sprouted an idea of creating a private cosmetic brand. The ultimate goal became implementing on the market products that would realistically respond to the hairdressers’ needs and support their daily work.
And everything started with a blonde...

By analyzing the market, the founder, with a team of experts, were looking for an answer to the following question: WHAT DO HAIRDRESSERS WANT? And not just the hairdressers but actually their Clients. The response was perfect blondes, which constituted the unrelenting popularity of such coloration type in hairdressing salons.

And it happened!

Sprouting over several years idea was finally forged into a real product. The formulation of the first cosmetic of the new brand – violet shampoo eliminating yellow shades for blond hair, was created.

What’s your name?

To reach full success, the brand was still lacking a name. As the brand was a special project to the Owner, he wanted the name to always be associated with him remarkably. So he decided to approach this very personally, using a shorter version of his daughter’s name.

From this moment onwards, haircare, coloration, and styling products appeared permanently on the hairdressing products market under the name Mila Hair Cosmetics and became a tool in professionals’ hands. The Mila Hair Cosmetics products, throughout 15 years, were positioned among hairdressing brands in the ‘D’ segment, but later everything changed.

The Milestone

Due to the dynamic development of the hairdressing industry, it was clear to keep moving forward. Listening to the customer’s needs and observing happening changes, we’ve decided to set a milestone in the brand’s development, focusing on implementing innovative products. Ones that will be more than a support and will simplify the work in hairdressing salons.
