Question 1 of 4
Hair restoration that doesn't involve surgery
Scalp micropigmentation is our specialty. It's non-surgical, needs little to no recovery time, and the change is visible from the first session.
Hair density treatment
Custom-blended pigment between existing hairs adds visual thickness to thinning spots, so the scalp shows through less.

Scar camouflage
Stippling that blends hair transplant and plug scars into the surrounding scalp, using different needle sizes for the look you want.
Scars need to be at least one year old.

How a hairline is built, one layer at a time
Density is added gradually across sessions so the finished result looks soft and believable, never painted on.
Free consultation
We look at your hair loss pattern, design the hairline and match pigment to your hair and skin.
Foundation session
A light, even layer of impressions sets the base and defines the hairline.
Building density
More layers in varied shades fill gaps and create a realistic, shadowed depth.
Refining
Final detailing sharpens the edges and blends everything into a natural finish.
Placed one impression at a time.
Each dot is sized, spaced and shaded to mimic a real follicle. Nothing is stamped or sprayed, so the hairline has the soft, uneven edge real hair has.

What clients say
My bald spot was about the size of an apple. It is literally undetectable now. I am shocked, and very little shocks me. If you are thinking about SMP, go with Nikki.
Nikki filled in my very sparse scalp areas with tiny dots that match my hair color. The result was transformational. No one will ever be able to see that the procedure was done.
I had an SMP, eyelash enhancement and a lash tint and couldn't be happier. She is a true artist!

What is scalp micropigmentation?
SMP is a non-surgical hair loss solution that uses specialized pigment to replicate the look of natural hair follicles, creating the appearance of a fuller hairline and added density.
Can SMP hide hair transplant scars?
Yes. Scar camouflage blends pigment into the scalp to reduce the appearance of scars from hair transplants, plugs or other restoration procedures. Scars need to be at least one year old before treatment.
Does it work if I still have some hair?
Yes. The hair density treatment is designed for thinning hair. Pigment placed between existing hairs adds visual thickness so less scalp shows through.
Will it look natural?
That's the goal of every session. Pigment is matched to your hair color and the hairline is designed around your face, age and style.
