  • Natural looking.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Designed to last.

Restore the look of a full head of hair, without surgery.

I had thinning along the sides of my hair that made me feel self-conscious, and her work gave me back so much confidence. The results look so natural that no one would ever know.

I was nervous about this beforehand and she made the experience super enjoyable. The results speak for themselves, the treatment took years off and looks completely natural.

Sean Krejci, Verified Google review

Before SMP, I relied on hair fibers to camouflage my thinning area. Since Kim treated my scalp, I haven’t used them once!

[ FAQ ]

Frequently Asked Questions

01.Does it hurt?

Most clients rate it a two or three out of ten, closer to a light scratching than a tattoo. The scalp is a forgiving area, and we can apply a topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable across the session.

02.How many sessions will I need?

Most results take two to three sessions spaced about a week or two apart. We build color and density in layers rather than all at once, which is what makes the final result look natural instead of solid or flat.

03.Can women get density without shaving?

Yes. Women’s density work is placed underneath your existing hair to darken the scalp and erase show-through along the part and crown. You keep your length and your style. Nothing is shaved.

04.Does it fade over time?

SMP softens gradually over several years rather than washing out. Our medical-grade pigments hold their true tone, and a quick touch-up every few years keeps it looking crisp. Most clients see a single top-up as routine maintenance.

05.What does it cost?

Treatments start at $600 for scar camouflage and range up to $2,800 for a full scalp, depending on the area and number of sessions. Your exact quote is confirmed in your free consultation, with no surprise add-ons afterward.

06.How soon can I get back to normal?

There is essentially no downtime. Expect mild redness for a day or two. We ask you to keep the scalp dry and out of heavy sweat and direct sun for about four days between sessions, then you are back to your routine.
