Buying a mobile head spa: the guide for therapists without renovations

You want to add a head spa to your treatments, but you are not planning to put your salon capital into a renovation. Or you want to treat clients on the move and have no fixed location. A mobile head spa is the solution: no water connection, no months of work, no hassle. You set it up, you plug it in, you start treating. Direct to the overview.

What is a mobile head spa (and why not a stationary one)?

A mobile headspa is a freestanding unit with an acrylic sink and built-in water circulation. You place it next to your treatment bed, plug it in, and you're ready. No plumber, no trenches, no permit. The sink is filled from a reservoir—just like a water cooler.

Why a starter or therapist chooses this: flexibility. You can move around, switch companies, or first test if customers really want head spa. A fixed head spa chair requires commitment—and space, and water, and electricity in the right place.

A mobile head spa is accessible. And that's exactly what they're designed for.

The three mobile models from MediRelaxa

We have three variants. All three work on the same principle — water circulation, no connections needed — but they differ in size, tank capacity, and design.

Mobile Head Spa — $1,295

The entry-level model. Acrylic sink, 60L fresh water tank, no wastewater tank. Dimensions: 52 × 65 × 68 cm, 20 kg. White or black. This model is ideal if you want to test if head spa works in your practice, or if you primarily do home treatments.

Mobile Head Spa Pro — €1,495

The most popular model. Larger than the entry-level model: 55 × 68 × 68 cm, 25 kg. The difference: a built-in waste-water tank of 15L (so no manual draining), LED lighting in the basin, and slightly more water capacity (50L clean + 15L dirty). The LED makes the treatment feel noticeably more luxurious for your clients. This is the model that starters choose.

Mobile Head Spa Deluxe €1.895

New in 2026. This is the top-spec mobile unit: 55 × 65 × 68 cm, 30 kg, and on wheels. Largest tanks of all mobile models (60L fresh + 30L wastewater). Perfect if you do a lot of treatments or if you need to move the unit regularly. The ergonomic design and wheels will save you hours of manual labor.

How to set up a mobile head spa (spoiler: it's very simple)

It's not rocket science.

Your head spa is next to your treatment bed. You fill the clean water faucet (which is on top) — literally from a jerrycan or garden hose. You turn the thing on, you load your client, you start. The used water flows into the dirty water tank or a drain trough.

End of story. No plumbing. No plumber. No hassle.

The only preparation: make sure you have a power outlet nearby. That's it.

What a mobile head spa costs and whether it pays for itself

The purchase price is low: €1,295 to €1,895. But will it pay for itself?

Yes. Quickly even.

Average head spa treatment in the Benelux: €80. A session lasts 45-60 minutes. Clients return every 4-6 weeks.

Calculate with the Mobile Headspa Pro (€1,495) and €80 per treatment:

• Break-even: 19 treatments
• With 3 treatments per week: paid back in approximately 6 weeks
• At 5 per week: paid back in 4 weeks
• Annual revenue (3/week, 50 work weeks): €12,000

Is your treatment price higher? Then it will be even faster. (Many salons charge €95–€110 for head spa; you'll break even in 16 treatments.)

Would you prefer to pay via lease? Grenke (our financing partner) offers monthly payments:

• Mobile Headspa Pro (€1,495): from €83/month
• Mobile Headspa Deluxe (€1,895): from €131/month

Leasing is handy if you want to save cash. The monthly payment is low — one head spa treatment per week already pays for it.

Which model suits you?

Choose the Mobile Headspa (€1,295) if: For beginners who want to test first, have a small budget, or work a lot from their mobile devices and where weight is relevant. Simply solid — no unnecessary features.

Choose the Mobile Headspa Pro (€1,495) if: If you plan to offer head spa services structurally, want to impress your clients with LED lighting, or don't feel like manually disposing of dirty water (the wastewater tank does that). This is the most popular choice. The reasons are good.

Choose the Mobile Headspa Deluxe (€1,895) if: If you do many treatments (4+ per day), need to move around regularly, or want the great comfort of wheels and large tanks. This is the premium choice—for those who are really serious about it.

Why MediRelaxa is the expert

MediRelaxa is the official Benelux distributor of T-LAB Professional, the Japanese head spa specialist. We know this equipment inside out—how it works, how it relates to other equipment, what customers expect from it.

Every year, dozens of therapists and salon starters set up a headspa from us. That gives us a clear picture of what works and what doesn't. What we hear? That the mobile models are so simple that customers wonder why this didn't exist sooner.

We offer full support: a Dutch manual, technical support, and an optional two-day training (€750) where you'll learn everything—from setup to treatment techniques to upselling.

“I thought I would spend a lot of time on setup and maintenance. The opposite is true. Thirty seconds to prepare, thirty minutes to treat, two minutes to clean. My clients ask about it every week.” - Sofie V., mobile therapist, Ghent

Frequently Asked Questions about Buying a Mobile Head Spa

Can I set up a mobile head spa without dedicating space for it?
Yes, that's the whole idea. Put it next to your treatment bed. You only need electricity — no water or drain lines.

How often should I refill the water?
This depends on how many treatments you do. With the Mobile Headspa Pro (50L): approximately 3–4 treatments per day. For a busy salon, one full tank is sufficient.

How much water does it take?
Clean water itself is free (from the tap). You only pay for electricity. Two treatments a day cost a maximum of €1–2 in electricity per month.

Can I put a mobile head spa in my car and take it with me?
Technically yes, but not really practical. The Deluxe weighs 30 kg, the Pro 25 kg. Better to leave it at home or in your treatment room. Handy though: you can switch to another property with it if you move.

Does it also work with hot water?
No, only cold water. This is no different from fixed benches. The heat for steam comes from the steam engine—it's included.

Does this have a warranty?
Yes, 1 year on all devices. Spare parts are always in stock.

Can I rent this instead of buying it?
Leasing is possible via Grenke, but buying is usually cheaper overall. Leasing helps if you don't want to make large expenditures. Do you want to test it first? We recommend: buy the cheapest model first (€1,295).

Do I need training?
No, it's very intuitive. The manual is in Dutch. We offer an optional two-day training (€750) where you will learn treatment techniques, customer communication, and how to maximize revenue.

What model do beginners usually choose?
The Mobile Headspa Pro (€1,495). The balance between cost, features, and versatility. A wastewater tank and LED lighting make it feel more professional than the entry-level model.

Can I add a massage table?
Yes. We offer a separate Mobile Headspa Table (€595): a massage table that can be placed next to the headspa, ideal if you have more space and want to expand the treatment.
