01Density
Thinning hair
Add depth where it is fading. Pigment is blended through diffuse and thinning areas so your existing hair reads thicker, fuller and years younger, with no obvious line between real and replicated.

No guesswork, no franchise conveyor belt. Just one experienced technician replicating thousands of real follicles by hand for thinning, baldness, alopecia, or transplant scars, until your scalp looks like it never lost a thing.

The process, start to finish.
Nothing hidden.
Most people have never had SMP explained properly. Here's every step, in plain English, before you commit to anything.
- 01Step 01Consult45 min · Free
We sit down, one-on-one.
I look at your scalp under proper light, listen to exactly what's bothering you, and tell you straight what SMP can and can't do for your kind of hair loss. No pressure, no sales script.
- Honest scalp assessment
- Straight answers on results
- Completely free, no obligation
- 02Step 02DesignSame visit
We map your new hairline together.
Shaped to your face, your age, and how you actually want to look, sharp or softened. You see it drawn on before anything is permanent, and you approve every line before a single dot goes in.
- Hairline drawn to your face
- Density planned with you
- You approve before we start
- 03Step 03Session2–4 hrs each
Thousands of follicles, by hand.
Across two to three sessions I replicate individual follicles, matching your natural density, angle and colour. Built up in layers over the weeks between visits, so the result reads as real growth, not a flat, painted-on cap.
- 2–3 layered sessions
- Matched to your natural colour
- Gradual, realistic build-up
- 04Step 04Touch-upIncluded
We let it settle, then perfect it.
Once your scalp has healed and the pigment has softened into place, we fine-tune. A light yearly touch-up keeps it crisp. You leave with a plan, my direct number, and a look that holds up in daylight.
- Final refinement session
- Optional yearly top-up
- Direct aftercare line
What we treatOne technique.
One technique.
Four kinds of hair loss.
Whatever brought you here, the answer is the same craft: thousands of tiny impressions, placed by hand.
02Shaved look
Complete baldness
Recreate a clean, close-cropped hairline front to crown: the confident buzz-cut aesthetic, minus the shine of bare scalp.
Book your consult→03Transplant & FUT
Scar camouflage
Break up strip scars, FUE dots and surgical marks with pigment that diffuses the line until it disappears into the hair around it.
Ask about your scar→04Patchy & total loss
Alopecia
Restore definition for patchy or complete loss: a stable, low-maintenance result that doesn't care what your immune system decides to do next.

Why Total PigmentationDone right the
Done right the
first time.
SMP is permanent. Who holds the needle matters more than any before-and-after gallery. Three reasons that hand should be this one.

One technician. Start to finish.
You never get passed around a franchise rota. The hand that consults with you is the same hand that maps your hairline and places every follicle, 12 years of it, all on your scalp.

Natural is the whole point.
Colour matched to your skin and stubble, follicles angled and varied like real growth, density layered over weeks. Done right, nobody knows it is SMP. That is the entire job.

Personal, private, unrushed.
One chair, one client at a time, in a discreet Northern Quarter studio. We take the time it takes. This is a personal thing, and it gets treated like one.

Three years of avoiding photos, sorted in two sessions. Mark actually listened, drew the hairline I wanted, and now it looks like I've just had a fresh trim. Nobody's clocked it.
I've had alopecia since my twenties. For the first time I look in the mirror and see a hairline that's mine. Never rushed, never clinical. It felt genuinely personal.
The transplant left me with a scar I hated seeing every time I got a number two. One afternoon in the chair and it is gone. Properly gone. Worth every penny.
