Unlike private head spas led by self-taught trainers, our instructors are accredited professionals who have trained directly with IHSA’s Training Academy in Korea.
HeadSpa Solutions' Head Spa Academy takes pride in being the only head spa training centre in Australia recognised by the International Head Spa Association (IHSA). We exclusively deliver IHSA’s accredited syllabus, currently used by technicians and universities across South Korea.
We train nationally and provide comprehensive training in Korean-style multi-step results based head spa philosophies, methodologies, and techniques that set your business apart, giving you a unique competitive advantage and enhanced marketability.
Our curriculum covers scalp cosmetology and nutrition, enabling trainees to understand the significance of Korean multi-step scalp facial methods, and why it really works! Each product and step serve a distinct purpose, and by customising product combinations based on scalp type, practitioners can harness the power of personalised care for every client.
Our published textbook was developed by esteemed trichology and hair loss research professors, Prof. Ku and Prof. Park, who each have over 20 years of experience in the field.
The training is delivered through multi-part, self-paced online short courses/modules, designed for busy business owners and professionals seeking to fill specific knowledge gaps in targeted topics.*
*Module 5 onsite prac is currently only offered within Australia and NZ. Students can either choose to come to our Sydney training showroom or our instructors can come to you at your store (recommended as you get to train in your environment and we can provide tips on your set up). Training bundle is only available to those who can take the prac in Australia and NZ.
