Open an Head SPA
Are you thinking about opening a Head SPA but feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the questions that arise? You’re not alone. Every day, we receive inquiries from various countries—from hairdressers, estheticians, and wellness professionals—who face the same challenges: which equipment to choose, how to build a solid protocol, which training to follow, and how to retain clients…
Drawing on our experience with more than 250 salons in Italy, we’ve compiled everything you need to launch a quality Head SPA that can run smoothly over time, without technical pitfalls or client disappointment. Step by step, you’ll discover the essential elements for success in a realm that is both scientific and profoundly relaxing.

Secure Your Investment with Reliable, Durable Equipment
Quality equipment: Avoid unpleasant surprises
High-quality equipment is the foundation of your Head SPA. We’ve seen too many salons suffer heavy losses due to cheap, low-quality tables and basins that break down. The risks? Electrocution, non-existent after-sales service, poor-quality materials… Imagine the stress when a basin fails mid-session and you have to cancel appointments for days, losing thousands of dollars.
Our recommendation:
- Made in Europe: European-made equipment offers better safety, reliability, and responsive after-sales service.
- Minimal electronics: The more complex the system, the greater the risk of failure.
- Robust basins and tables: Opt for solid materials (metal, high-density resins…) and ergonomics designed for practicality and comfort.
The result? Equipment that serves you for years without wasting your time (and money) on pointless repairs.

Master the Choreography for an Unforgettable Experience
The massage ritual: The art of effective relaxation
Massage often comes to mind first when people talk about Head SPA. But a real Head SPA is not just a quick “little massage” for a few minutes. It’s a precise choreography, where every gesture has a purpose: boosting microcirculation, relieving tension, and adapting pressure to each client’s scalp.
- Order of actions: A structured protocol ensures optimal results.
- Constant adaptation: Techniques must be adjusted to each client’s sensitivity and scalp condition.

Create a Consistent, Scientifically Grounded Customer Experience
The protocol: Professionalizing your practice
A well-established protocol is the secret to a Head SPA that goes beyond mere trends. We’ve identified some key steps that reassure clients and establish your expertise:
- Personalized welcome: Show each client they are unique from the moment they arrive.
- Analysis and diagnosis: Whether it’s dandruff, an oily or sensitive scalp, adapt your treatments accordingly.
- Clear explanations: Clients appreciate understanding why you use certain products or techniques.
- Follow-up and loyalty: Conduct regular check-ups. Visible results reinforce trust and lead to repeat business.

“You don’t just become Head SPA; you train for it.”
Quality training: Trichology at the heart of care
hese days, many try learning online or through short introductions. However, to offer top-level care, nothing beats supervised practice and direct interaction with experienced trainers.
- Supervised practice: You need to repeat gestures, make mistakes, and correct them until you master them.
- Technical depth: Trichology can’t be improvised; understanding microcirculation and scalp balance is key to credibility.
- Mandatory in-person: Pressure, touch, and the feel… you can only learn these effectively in person, not through a screen.

Specific Ranges for Concrete Results
Head SPA treatments: The importance of quality products
Choosing the right haircare products is crucial to delivering quick, visible results. After working with over 250 salons, we see too many professionals stuck with generic, ineffective, or overly chemical products.
- Quality & natural focus: Products tested for each scalp type.
- Dedicated protocols: Specialized ranges (hydration, purification, regeneration…) targeting specific needs.
- Results from the first use: Clients feel the difference, understand they are truly cared for, and come back confidently.

Build a Long-Term Relationship with Your Clients
Retention: The Key to Recurring Revenue
To make a Head SPA profitable, you must retain your clients. A single session might please them, but multiple well-orchestrated sessions transform their scalp and ensure stable revenue.
- Striking statistics: 90% of clients don’t return if the experience is only average; 70% commit for several months if the results are tangible.
- Offer packages: Sell 10-session cures, for instance, rather than one-off sessions.
- Scientific proof: Show improvements (before/after photos, regular diagnostics), reinforcing commitment.

Beyond Location, Create a Calming Atmosphere
Head SPA ambiance: A unique setting for relaxation
The geographic location matters less than the ambiance you establish. Pay attention to every detail: soft lighting, relaxing music, subtle fragrances…
- Welcoming design: Neutral tones, comfortable furniture, so the client feels “cocooned.”
- Positive energy: Everything should foster calm, serenity, and rejuvenation.

From Product Selection to an Expert Contact for Doubts
Surround yourself with the right people: Partners & support
The success of a Head SPA also depends on the ecosystem you build around it. Don’t go it alone with uncertain equipment and unknown products.
- Care products: Opt for recognized brands that provide support and adapted protocols.
- Reliable equipment: Quality basins and ergonomic furniture… your clients will notice.
- Effective accessories: Small details (cushions, headrests, etc.) make a difference.
- Tailored training: Match your learning to your specific needs.
- High-quality basin: Choose robust, secure designs.
- Top-tier furniture: Select comfortable and aesthetically pleasing furniture.
- One contact person: Having someone to call if you have questions is reassuring.
- Long-term commitment: Your partners should stick with you well beyond the initial setup.
Opening a Head SPA may seem like a major undertaking, but with high-quality equipment, a scientifically proven protocol, comprehensive training, and a supportive ecosystem, you maximize your chances of success. Imagine your clients, thrilled by their experience, and the boost in revenue that follows.
