Course Overview
Trained Properly, From The First Hour
This is the course that takes you from zero to genuinely competent in the Japanese head spa technique — the same method our own therapists are trained in. You'll leave with a real certificate, a completed live-model treatment under your belt, and the confidence to offer it to your own clients immediately.
No prerequisite is required. We teach beauty therapists, hairdressers and complete career-changers side by side, in a room small enough that nobody is left behind.
