On-site headspa practical training

Our headspa practical training is a hands-on day in our showroom in Berkel-Enschot, where you practise live on models using our professional headspa beds and equipment. Rather than learning the treatment from a screen, you work directly with the tools you will use in your own salon or clinic, supported by experienced trainers who give you feedback as you go. The aim is simple: that you leave confident you have mastered the treatment and ready to offer it the next working day.

Why choose on-site headspa practical training?

A headspa treatment combines scalp cleansing, massage and a calming client experience. These are skills that are difficult to refine from theory alone, because pressure, rhythm, water temperature and positioning all depend on touch and observation. Practising on real models is the most reliable way to build that feel.

During the practical training you work with the same headspa beds and equipment that we supply, so what you learn translates directly to your daily routine. Trainers observe your technique, point out small adjustments, and help you correct habits before they become routine. This direct feedback is the part you cannot get from a video.

What you will learn

• Setting up the headspa bed, water flow and equipment correctly and safely before each treatment.
• Performing a structured scalp cleanse, from sectioning the hair to thorough rinsing.
• Applying scalp massage techniques with appropriate pressure, rhythm and timing.
• Positioning the client comfortably and maintaining a calm, controlled treatment flow.
• Following hygiene and cleaning protocols for equipment between clients.
• Adapting the treatment to different scalp and hair conditions you encounter.

Who it is for and how the day works

This headspa practical training is suited to salon professionals, skin therapists and clinic staff who want to add the treatment to their service menu or sharpen an existing routine. Whether you are introducing headspa for the first time or refining your technique, working live on models lets you progress at your own pace under guidance.

Hygiene and safety run through the whole day. You practise the protocols for preparing and cleaning the equipment, managing water and product, and keeping the treatment area in good order. Building these habits during the practical training means they become second nature once you are working with paying clients, which protects both your guests and your reputation.
