Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scalp Micropigmentation Training?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) has emerged as a highly sought-after non-surgical solution to combat hair loss, preserve hairlines, and even create new ones. By taking the art of eyebrow microblading to a new level. Our SMP Training offers our trainees an innovative and effective treatment option. Unlike hair transplant or other hair regrowth procedures that can be expensive, painful, and risky, SMP is a much more affordable and safer alternative that comes with a guarantee of success. This technique is rapidly gaining popularity due to its ability to deliver outstanding results without the need for invasive surgery, or the expensive natural hair growth remedies making it a preferred choice for those seeking a pain-free and guaranteed solution to hair loss.
Who Can Do SMP?
Check our Instagram and see comments from all over the world: people are interested in getting SMP for themselves—which means opportunities are opening up for barbers and tattoo artists alike. SMP is a long-term investment for customers, who are willing to pay $2,000-$4,000 for a semi-permanent solution—which means it’s an even longer-term investment for barbers and tattoo artists looking to forge a path into this burgeoning industry! SMP is an investment for your business.
How Do I Get SMP Trained?
SMP Training is a vital step for those who want to master the art of scalp micropigmentation. While many SMP training services are available both online and in-person, it's important to note that online training may not provide the same tangible benefits as in-person training. The hands-on designing of hairlines is a crucial part of the SMP creation process and should be observed in person to fully grasp the techniques involved. Precision and measured movements are also essential, making it important to receive training from experienced professionals. Some training programs may try to sell overpriced "starter kits," so it's crucial to do your research and shop around to find reputable trainers like the ones at Scalp Micro SD who can impart their knowledge without trying to sell you unnecessary products. Ultimately, investing in high-quality Scalp Micropigmentation training will help you become an expert in this art and build a successful career in SMP.

STEP-BY-STEP PROFESSIONAL WALKTHROUGHS
DAY 1
Shadow An Expert, Learn The Curriculum
Our Scalp Micropigmentation Training begins with the basics so you can be fully prepared for the hands-on stuff—we are dealing with ink, after all!
We start our three-day program with a shadowing of Alex as he goes through his SMP process. This way, you see the potential of the program, and comprehensively recognize what you can achieve. Plus, you’ll know the questions to ask when we break out of the theory and into the practice for Days 2 and 3.
See, Scalp MicroPigmentation is an art, and every artist requires training. But there’s also a concrete science behind it. And Alex will teach you how to analyze existing hairlines for enhancing, prevent cross-contamination and how to acquire & consult with customers.
Then, Alex will take you through the SMP theoretical curriculum, touching on a variety of crucial topics, like Color Mixing & Theory, Building Your Portfolio, and How To Establish And Grow Your Brand on Social Media.

We bring in live models—real people who serve as practice patients for our students—and Alex teaches you how to design the best hairlines for their desired look.
