Our philosophy

The hands learn what the mind understands.

“…and the heart refines what the hands do.”

The way · Dō

Training with us is not a workshop but a path. Each course model stands on its own and deepens your skill measurably and visibly.

The skin · Hada

We apply skinification principles consistently to the scalp. Diagnostics, actives, multi-step protocols — you learn to think like a dermatologist.

The heart · Kokoro

Technique alone is not enough. Our master trainers convey the mindfulness and presence that turn a good treatment into an unforgettable experience.

Academy · Training

Frequently asked.

On training, certification and the path into partnership.

No. Course Basic is designed as an entry point and teaches the full signature sequence and experience standard from the ground up. Experience in wellness or cosmetics helps but is not a requirement.

Course Basic teaches the six phases and the sequence — you deliver the protocol faithfully. Course Complete adds the authority layer: the mechanisms (the “why”), reading the scalp diagnosis and the before/after measurement. You can then not only treat but explain and prove.

As a flexible complement at your own pace — for theory, philosophy and preparation for the in-person part. The hand choreography of the core is learned in practice; the online course does not replace it but prepares for it.

Training right in your salon: set-up and induction on your own Wakamizu chair, team training in your rooms and follow-up support. A custom solution tailored to your business.

Yes — a Wakamizu certificate as proof of completed training. It is a brand-owned certification (not a state qualification). Those who meet the Wakamizu Certified standard may also carry the Certified seal — the guarantee that the treatment is delivered identically across salons.

Yes. The larger complete packages already include the training — you combine equipment from the Wakamizu 1–3 range with course, textiles and support in one package. You’ll find the exact composition in the collection.

No. Wakamizu chairs are provided for training at our locations. In the on-site course you train on your own chair in your salon.

A digital consultation tool: it reads the scalp during the treatment, personalises the recommendation and supplies the before/after image for measurable proof. It is a cosmetic consultation and documentation tool — not a medical diagnostic device.

Yes. After the foundation training come deeper modules — from seasonal protocol variants to advanced diagnostic and business topics. Certified partners receive details continuously via the Wakamizu community.

Financing is available on request, usually as part of a complete package of equipment, course and support. Ask us about it in the consultation.
