Miriam and Scott at Replique have been doing Scalp Microimentation since 2016, and there's only a handful of other SMP artists that supersede us, and while it's exciting to be a part of a growing industry, it's very concerning seeing men walk around with botched hair tattoos they've received from technicians that are new to the industry. 

​

Getting ay type of hair loss solution is a massive step, and it can be tempting to cut corners and a few hundred dollars and get what you think is going to be an amazing SMP treatment.

​

But all too often we see guys with discoloured work, or blow outs, because they went to a traditional body art tattoo artist or a recent graduate of a three day SMP course, who is learning their artwork on a client (and at the clients expense). 

​

The picture here illustrates what the first session, or coat of SMP wild look like. 

​

We use a .04 needle that is specifically made for Scalp Micropigmentation, it is designed to leave a tiny imprint that looks like a freshly shaved hair follicle. 

 

Using a needle that is too large will create a false looking dot.

Scalp  Micropigmentation is a lot like painting, it requires several coats to create depth and coverage. .
