What is scalp micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP for short, is like a hair tattoo but way more advanced. It’s a non-surgical treatment where natural pigments are applied to the scalp to mimic the look of real hair follicles. Whether you’ve got thinning hair or bald spots, SMP makes it look like you’ve got more density in your hair.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation a hair tattoo?

Scalp micropigmentation is similar to a tattoo but with some key differences. SMP uses specialized techniques and pigments to create a look that’s incredibly close to natural hair. It’s more detailed and subtle than a traditional tattoo and designed specifically for the scalp. So while it’s like a tattoo for your head, it’s a specialized process that takes your hair’s appearance to the next level.

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?

The cost of scalp micropigmentation can vary based on how much area we’re covering and the details of your treatment. Generally, you’re looking at a range between $2000 – $3000.

How long does scalp micropigmentation last?

Scalp micropigmentation is often called a ‘permanent’ solution, but it’s more like semi-permanent. On average, you can expect it to look sharp for about 4 to 6 years. Over time, it might fade a bit, which is totally normal. That’s when you can swing by BarberINK for a touch-up to keep it looking fresh. And don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re looking good as new!

Does smp damage hair follicles?

Nope, SMP won’t damage your hair follicles. The process is all about applying pigment to the scalp’s surface, not about messing with the follicles themselves. So, if you’ve got some hair growth going on, SMP can work alongside it without causing any harm. It’s a safe way to boost the look of your hair’s density without worrying about damage.

Is scalp micropigmentation for women too?

Absolutely! Scalp micropigmentation isn’t just for the guys; it’s for women too. It’s an awesome way to add density to thinning areas or hairline, especially if you’re seeing more scalp than you’d like. It can really help boost your confidence, and many women here in NYC are loving the results. So, ladies, SMP can definitely be for you.

Gee has mastered the art of micropigmentation. He took his time in assuring that everything was to my approval and even gave suggestions that were very helpful. On my last session I got a shape up and he proved to be an exceptional barber as well. Definitely recommend his services and will absolutely be a return customer.

Absolutely the best thing you can do to get your hairline swag back! I went to Barber ink a little hesitant but after speaking with Gee I knew it was exactly what I needed to feel fresh again. Gee is the absolute professional who won’t push to just make a sale he’s there to make sure you are happy from beginning to end. If you’re thinking about it don’t wait any longer and just make the call.

I had been experiencing hair-loss in the corners of my hairline, but there was never a solution until I found BarberInkNY. After a very informative consultation, I decided to go through with the procedure with Gee. It was the best decision I have ever made. My confidence level has gone through the roof and my hairline is amazing. The environment reminded me of a doctors office in every way. If you are looking for any hairline restoration or hairloss restorations, BarberInk is the place to go!!

I was completely nervous about this procedure but G made me feel right at home and educated me about the whole procedure. Any question I had, he answered and that made me feel so much more confident with getting SMP done. With that being said, I got it done and I feel like a new man. I look younger, I’m more confident and he helped get rid of a long time insecurity of mine (baldness). Highly recommend him for any SMP work.

A big shoutout to Gee for his professionalism, politeness & most of all outstanding work. My corners/hairline started to thin & fade out. Gee knew which shade of ink & needle size to use in order to best blend in with my complexion & hair type, unlike other places that don't utilize such variation. Gee was always open to any questions or concerns I had with the process at all times. Loving my results & safe to say I'm feeling myself again LOL. If you're looking to do SMP, look no further!!

If you’re worried about not getting an SMP done right, don’t. Tommy has exceeded all my expectations by far, I could not stop looking in the mirror after our sessions. His attention to detail is strong enough to assume he’s using a microscope to make sure it is as detailed and real looking as possible. 10/10 would recommend.

I have had a great experience so far. I still have one last session to go but I’m already happy at my results so far. Gee is very professional, sets a great ambience and explains the process well and answers any and all questions to make the customer feel comfortable and confident in whatever their decision is. I’m proof that he does great work and would recommend his services to everyone.

After years of wearing hats and have to wear a fully shaved head, I decided to seek out a solution. I came upon Barber Ink NY and I did a consultation with Gee and within 5 minutes I knew I found the right place and the right specialist. Gee made me feel at ease and he seem very knowledgeable of the procedure. Not long after I did my first session and I was already pleased and then the second session a week after just brought back all the confidence that was gone..If anyone is seeking this procedure be very careful where you go , I guarantee if you give this place a try , you will not look no where else...
