Than

Just

Dots!

To the untrained eye most scalp pigmentation treatments look the same. This is true. Just dots, right?

To be honest, I thought the same before joining the scalp micropigmentation world. 

Give me a few moments of your time and I’ll show why all dots aren’t equal... 

Rules Aren't Made to Be Broken 

My training is a system, with clear, definite steps. If you follow these steps, and do not deviate you will produce natural-looking, beautiful scalp work which will heal wonderfully.

I don’t think scalp practitioners should see themselves as artists. We are more like architects. We work with rules, but these rules allow us to replicate our results and remove the need for guess work, or risk of having variable results. It is important you understand this before continuing, as some scalp trainers will encourage their students to ‘explore their creativity’. They are entitled to their opinion, but from the start I think it is important to separate myself from this approach.

I don’t believe that the scalp is a place for creativity, or experimentation. If you agree with my approach you will love my Scalp System.  

Actually, I would go so far as to say compared to some other very complex permanent makeup methods (e.g. medical areola or hairstroke eyebrows) scalp micropigmentation with the right system is easier.

However, I would argue that the margin for error is smaller as we cover much larger surface areas than conventional micropigmentation methods, so it is important that the technique you implement is correct, every time.

Don't Take My Word For It...

The Hairline

We’ve all seen seen someone with a bad toupe before, or a bad hair transplant… right? Within two seconds you know something is ‘off’ with it. You can’t place your finger on it, but you just intuitively know.

The scalp micropigmentation hairline is maybe the most important point in ensuring your results look real. 

With my distinctive 3 point system, you will ensure your client’s hairline compliments their head shape, facial features, ethnicity and age… every time. 

Nothing should be left to chance in our profession. We use an algorithm to calculate the optimum hairline for a client’s scalp, once you know my method you will be able to repeat it on all of your clients to ensure they have a great, natural-looking hairline. 

Important point: The objective is to simulate where their natural hairline and hair density should be, for a man or woman of their age… not where they want it to be (everyone, including me wants to look 20 again!). It is our job as SMP professionals to guide a customer down the path of this recognition, which you will be taught on our class.

​

You are protecting your customer,  but your integrity as a professional is just as important. This philosophy will pay dividends over the years and ensure you have great word of mouth recommendations in your local area.

IF I COULD DO SCALP FOR  free...I WOULD!

How To Recognise Bad SMP

The true mark of a great scalp micropigmentation operator is the healed results.  As you will be operating on a very focal point of the body (the head), and clients will often be either partially or completely bald. Mistakes on your healed results will be noticeable.

​

Discoloration

I’ve had to correct work like this, and trust me it isn’t fun for either me or the client (I have to manually retrace each implanted stroke dot by dot). This actually takes more time, so I have to charge more.

​

You must learn scalp micropigmentation correctly. We want a complete color match with the natural hairs (if any remain on the head). This is particularly important in instances where you will need to blend your results with existing hair, for example Norwood Scale 7 (this is where the pate of the head is completely bald but the sides are not). 

​

Colour Migration

When the wrong needle, incorrect device or incorrect technique is used it can lead to color migration. What does this mean for your client? Blotched color migration much like this…

In scalp we aim to have pin sharp pigment registration, even on healed result so that it very accurately replicates the results of the client's natural hair. 

​

Trust me, you do not want to be responsible for instances such as either of these scenarios.

This isn’t a scare tactic, and I’m not one to dwell on negativity, in fact… it may even scare some of you away from doing scalp micropigmentation altogether. But I think it is important every potential scalp practitioner understands what can happen when scalp is applied irresponsibly, or when short cuts are attempted. 

​

But Here's The Good News...

What saddens me the most when I encounter scenarios such as either of these, is they are very difficult to fix... but so, so easy to avoid!  If you learn the correct system, use the right equipment and implement the correct technique, this won't happen to you.

​

But... As scalp micropigmentation professionals these cases serve to remind us never to be complacent, and to always respect our craft.

BAD SMP COMES FROM BAD  training!

Who is It For?

Don't limit yourself to just one client type. Diversification is the key.

Although male scalp micropigmentation is most known method of SMP, what you will learn on my class has many different applications - allowing you to offer all of them, or to choose to specialize in a particular method (e.g. females, or in medical scalp micropigmentation).

Is It a Good Investment?

Scalp micropigmentation is becoming a very popular service to train in, as it is very rewarding!. See the table below for some realistic projections of what to expect in your career as a scalp micropigmentation artist.

I believe scalp micropigmentation has a very bright future, in fact... I think it has just begun! Here’s why…

​

Whilst scalp micropigmentation has been around for over 20 years, modern scalp micropigmentation is very recent.

What’s the difference?

In recent years there has been a lot of new developments in the scalp micropigmentation field. Everything has elevated: the devices, the needles, the pigments and also the techniques itself.

​

Scalp micropigmentation artists always aimed for ‘true-to-life’ results but due to limitations in technology and methodology it simply wasn’t achievable until today. Basically... the tools are finally in sync with the potential of the technique.

​

This presents scalp micropigmentation practitioners today with an enormous opportunity. 

​

Surge in Popularity

It has seen a surge of popularity in only the past 2-3 years, especially among athletes. As you’ve no doubt realised, it doesn’t take long for this to filter down into the mainstream (think of David Beckham’s influence on the sleeve tattoo). Like them or not, if sport's personalities and celebrities can have such dramatic effects on the popularity of a cosmetic tattoo type which is expensive (it can cost a lot more than a SMP procedure) and divisive, try to imagine their impact eventually on a something which influences self-esteeem as much as hair loss?

The Facts

Let's look at some facts.

Hair transplants have increased by 48% in recent years (IHRSS), which can be extremely expensive (£5000 + for good work), and there can be a lot of variability in whether the hair is retained or not.

Scalp micropigmentation is used in many hair transplant clinics as either an additional service, or a complimentary service (to augment the appearance of hair density on the scalp after a successful hair transplant). These clinics often contract independent scalp micropigmentation artists (and take a commission for this). Once you have a portfolio it is a great opportunity for you to grow your business model with local Doctors.

​

In fact, one survey spells it out quite clearly: 43.2% said they'd prefer thicker, fuller hair over a significantly higher salary.

​

However,  I do not think this opportunity will be there forever, it is important to develop yhour reputation as a scalp micropigmentation artist now.
