(latest NCVER data)Training in relaxation massage, delivered through SHBHBAS002 Provide head, neck and shoulder massages for relaxation, helps salon assistants give clients a calm, comfortable start before other hair services while following hygiene and health regulations. It is a sensible scope choice for RTOs whose hairdressing and barbering learners begin in assistant roles, and SHBHBAS002 training resources give them a clear structure for this entry-level service.
Learners develop skills in questioning clients about pre-existing conditions, examining the head, neck and shoulders, preparing the service area, selecting and measuring massage mediums, applying effleurage, petrissage and tapotement, monitoring client response and allocating post-massage relaxation time.
