Hairdressing Head Blocks
Hairdressing head blocks and manikin training heads are essential tools for hairdressing students, newly qualified stylists who want to practise techniques and experienced professionals who need a training head for demonstrations or skill development. We stock 83 hairdressing head blocks and training heads here at Revive Hair Artists in Codsall from brands including S-PRO, Exalto, Sibel, Pivot Point and more, covering synthetic training heads, human hair head blocks, clamps and stands.
Manikin training heads
Manikin training heads are the most widely used option for hairdressing students and are the standard tool used in hairdressing colleges and training academies across the UK. They are available with synthetic or human hair and cover a range of hair lengths, colours and textures. The S-PRO Manikin Training Head Emily and S-PRO Manikin Training Head Chloe are both brilliant synthetic training heads at an excellent price point for students. The S-PRO range covers different hair lengths and shades to suit different training requirements.
Human hair head blocks
Human hair head blocks give the most realistic cutting and styling experience and are preferred by more advanced students and professionals who need a training head for practising colour, cutting or styling techniques that require the authentic feel of real hair. The Exalto Leslie Human Hair Hairdressing Head Block and Exalto Lana Human Hair Head Block are both brilliant professional options. Human hair training heads can be washed, dried, coloured and styled in the same way as real client hair, making them the closest training tool to a real salon environment.
Clamps and stands
A good clamp or table vice is essential for securing your training head during practice sessions. The Sibel Eco Plastic Table Vice is a brilliant everyday clamp that holds training heads securely to any table or work surface. The Sibel Training Clamp with Wheel and Extension Bar is a more advanced option that gives greater height adjustment and flexibility, which is particularly useful for practising techniques that require working from different angles.
Synthetic vs human hair training heads
Synthetic manikin heads are the most affordable option and are perfectly suitable for practising basic cutting, setting and styling techniques. They are the standard choice for most hairdressing courses and NVQ training. Human hair head blocks are significantly more expensive but give a more realistic cutting and styling experience and are better suited to advanced techniques including colour work, precision cutting and blow-dry training where the authentic behaviour of real hair is important. For most hairdressing students at NVQ Level 2 or 3, a good synthetic manikin head is perfectly adequate for all required assessments.
