The basics

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

SMP is also referred to as a hair tattoo. It's simply the art of creating the illusion of real hair follicles. Our artists are trained to use different types of needles (single micro and three-point) to achieve optimal, natural-looking results tailored to your skin tone and hair color.

Whether you're covering a receding hairline, thinning crown, transplant scars, or full alopecia, SMP recreates the appearance of closely shaved follicles or greater density in just a few sessions.

Step by step

The SMP Process

Most clients complete treatment in two or three sessions, spaced about two weeks apart.

  1. 1

    Consultation

    Discuss goals and design a plan around your hair pattern and skin tone.

  2. 2

    First session

    The foundation layer is placed at a lighter density to establish shape and tone.

  3. 3

    Density & refinement

    Additional impressions add depth and coverage between healed pigment.

  4. 4

    Final detailing

    A final session refines the hairline and completes the blend when needed.

Reviews

What Our Clients Say

"Walked in a little skeptical — walked out sharper than I have in years. People noticed something changed but nobody guessed what."
MMarcus
"Surprised how relaxed the session was. No stinging, just quiet work. My scalp doesn't shine through anymore and my hair reads much thicker."
DDaniel
"I'd been hiding my FUT scar under longer styles for years. After two sessions here it just disappears into the hair."
