Step By Step
A
Petrissage is from French meaning to knead. It consists of deep
kneading slowly and firmly. This massage technique is used in the
shampooing, conditioning and treatment process to relax the client
and stimulate the blood flow to the hair follicle. It is carried out with
the padded palm surface, fingers or thumbs. Use slow circular
movements to knead the head. This will stimulate the scalp and is a
deep massage technique.
B
Effleurage is from French meaning to skim or lightly touch and is a
series of gentle stroking massage movements made with the palm
of the hand. It is used to evenly distribute shampoo, conditioner and
treatment. Keep contact with one hand throughout this process to
relax the client.
C
An alternative technique is tapotement / vibration used with a vibro
massage machine or hands. It is rhythmic and percussive, and is
carried out with the edge of the hand, a cupped hand or the tips of
the fingers. This is a stimulating technique.
D
Rotary massage uses finger pads with a firm circular movements
performed over the scalp’s surface.

E
Friction - A massage technique which consists of vigorous
movement with the pads of the fingers. Only done
for a few minutes and not always performed. This
massage technique can be used in the shampooing and
condition process to cleanse the scalp and aid in the
removal of dirt and debris.
Step 1
Begin by applying a protective gown.
Using an Easydry disposable towel, fold a small lip across the long
edge at the top double lining the collar area for extra protection. The
doubled effect provides a firm edge for tucking.
Step 2
Ensure the client is supported when moving back into the
backwash.
Step 3
Check the client is comfortable.
Note: In this instance Chika chooses to use a second towel
wrapped around the front of the client for added protection and
a professional service feel. This can have cost implications and is
affected by individual salon ethos and etiquette.

Step 4
Ensure all the hair is in the backwash throughout the hairline.
Step 5
Always check the water temperature.
Step 6
It is a good idea to wet your hands first to enable you to move the
hair away from the hairline.
Check the water temperature again.
Step 7

Step By Step
Step 8
Stroke away any excess water on the hands before progressing into
the hairline.
If the hands and arms are too wet the water could drip onto the
clients face causing discomfort.
Step 9
When wetting the hair use the hand as a shield.
Step 10
Continue until both sides are evenly damp.
Pick up the head and check the underneath.
In order to evenly soak the back and to prevent the water going
down the neck cup one hand and apply water with the other.
Step 11
Depending on product quality use approximately 3cm diameter of
shampoo in the palm of the hand.

from front hairline round to the ear down to the nape and then
through the ends. This ensures even coverage.

motion and with fingers apart.
Step 14
Work with the same technique from the centre to the back of the
ears, then from behind the ears into the nape sliding the fingers.

Step 16
If dealing with shorter lengths around the perimeter be aware that
the hair can spring back and spray the client therefore a gentle and
careful approach must be taken.
Step 17
If required, apply suitable conditioner using a jumbo comb working
from ends through to roots.
Step 18
Then massage the head for client comfort and service. Use the balls
of the fingers and apply pressure to the indentations of the head to
stimulate blood supply.
