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.
De mobiele head spa van MediRelaxa
Sinds 2026 voeren we nog één mobiel model: de Mobiele Headspa Deluxe. De twee lichtere varianten zijn uit het gamma gegaan, omdat de Deluxe op elk punt dat er in de praktijk toe doet beter presteert.
Mobile Head Spa Deluxe €1.895 excl. btw
Afmetingen 55 × 65 × 68 cm, 30 kg, op wieltjes. De grootste tanks van het gamma: 60 liter schoon water en 30 liter vuil water, zodat je meerdere behandelingen na elkaar doet zonder bij te vullen. Acryl wasbak met nekkussen, watercirculatie, stoommachine en stoomkap inbegrepen.
Werkhoogte 76 of 70 cm. Het toestel wordt geleverd met een voorgemonteerde silver base en staat dan op 76 cm, de hoogte waarop de meeste behandelbanken en massagetafels werken. Vind je dat te hoog, dan neem je de base eraf en werk je op 70 cm. Zo past de unit bij je bestaande bank zonder dat je iets moet aanpassen.
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
De aankoop is €1.895 excl. btw. Maar betaalt die zich terug?
Yes. Quickly even.
Average head spa treatment in the Benelux: €80. A session lasts 45-60 minutes. Clients return every 4-6 weeks.
Reken met de Mobiele Headspa Deluxe (€1.895) en €80 per behandeling:
- Break-even: 24 behandelingen
- Bij 3 behandelingen per week: terugverdiend in ongeveer 8 weken
- Bij 5 per week: terugverdiend in ongeveer 5 weken
- Annual revenue (3/week, 50 work weeks): €12,000
Is je behandelprijs hoger? Dan gaat het nog sneller. (Veel salons vragen €95–€110 voor headspa; dan ben je in 20 behandelingen break-even.)
Would you prefer to pay via lease? Grenke (our financing partner) offers monthly payments:
- Mobiele Headspa Deluxe (€1.895): vanaf €104/maand bij 24 maanden, of €138/maand bij 18 maanden
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?
Kies de mobiele Deluxe als: je geen wateraansluiting hebt op de plek waar je wilt behandelen, in een huurpand zit waar je niet mag breken, of op locatie werkt. Je zet hem naast je eigen behandelbank en je kan starten.
Kies een vaste head spa-bank als: je een vaste plek met wateraansluiting hebt en head spa als volwaardige dienst uitbouwt. Je krijgt dan bank en wasbak in één, een keramische wasbak en 3 jaar garantie in plaats van 1 jaar. Die banken starten vanaf €1.595 excl. btw.
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?
Dit hangt af van hoe veel behandelingen je doet. Bij de Mobiele Headspa Deluxe (60L schoon + 30L vuil): ongeveer 5 behandelingen per dag. Voor een drukke salon volstaat één volle tank.
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?
Lease is mogelijk via Grenke, maar kopen is meestal goedkoper totaal. Lease helpt als je geen grote uitgaven wilt doen. Wil je eerst testen? Kom gerust eerst langs in de showroom in Herselt om het toestel te proberen.
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.
Is er nog keuze tussen mobiele modellen?
Nee. Sinds 2026 is de Mobiele Headspa Deluxe (€1.895) ons enige mobiele toestel. De lichtere varianten zijn uit het gamma gegaan, zodat we één model voeren waar we volledig achter staan.
Can I add a massage table?
Ja. We bieden een aparte Massagetafel Mobiele Head Spa (€599): massagetafel om naast de headspa te plaatsen, ideaal als je meer ruimte hebt en de behandeling wilt uitbreiden.
