What is SMP

Not a transplant. Not a toupee. Pigment, placed precisely.

Scalp micropigmentation uses specialized pigments and precise micro-needles to place tiny dots in the upper layers of your scalp. From a normal distance they read as real hair follicles, so a widening part looks fuller, a thinning crown looks denser, a receding hairline looks restored, and a shaved head looks even and complete.

"Your hair doesn't have to grow back for you to look like it did."

Who it's for

If any of these sound like you, SMP was made for it.

Hairline enhancement

Rebuild a receding or uneven hairline so it frames your face again.

Thinning crown

Add visible density where the top and crown have thinned out.

Fuller parts and density

Soften a widening part and make hair look thicker, with nothing to style or cover up.

Alopecia

Create the appearance of density where hair no longer grows, matched to your coloring.

Scar camouflage

Blend scars and patchy spots into the surrounding hair so they stop drawing the eye.

Full shaved look

Get an even, just-buzzed look on a closely cropped or shaved head.

How it works

From first conversation to finished look.

  1. Consultation

    Show us what you want, we look at your scalp, hair color, and skin tone, and you get an exact quote. No guessing and no surprises.

  2. Hairline design

    Your hairline is mapped to your face, age, and growth pattern, and you approve it before any pigment is placed.

  3. Treatment sessions

    The pigment is built up in layers over a small number of sessions so the density looks natural, not painted on.

  4. Aftercare and touch-ups

    You leave with clear aftercare instructions, and we're here for touch-ups as the pigment settles and softens over the years.

Questions

Before you book, the honest answers.

Is SMP permanent?

It's long-lasting, not forever. The pigment sits in the upper layers of the skin and fades gradually over the years. Many clients book a touch-up to keep the look sharp.

Will it look natural?

That's the whole point of the design step. We plan the hairline around your face and age, and we size and space the dots so they read as real hair stubble up close and from across the room.

Does it hurt?

Comfort varies from person to person and by area of the scalp. We'll talk through what to expect at your consultation so there are no surprises on the day.

How many sessions will I need?

Most looks are built over a few sessions so the density develops gradually. Your consultation will give you a clear plan for your scalp and your goals.

How much does SMP cost?

It depends on the size of the area and the look you want, so we quote after seeing your scalp. Book a consultation and you'll leave with an exact number.

Can I still shave my head?

Yes. SMP is designed for exactly that. It gives a shaved head or a close crop an even, full look.
