Navigating Pricing Factors For Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), also known as a hair tattoo, is a top solution for hair thinning or baldness.
At SCALPS®, we believe in transparent pricing. This guide helps you understand SMP pricing factors, making an informed investment in your confidence.
NORWOOD SCALE (HAIR LOSS)

Stage I: Baseline — no hair loss.
Stage II: The hairline begins to thin typically in an “m” shaped pattern at the temples.
Stage III: The hair at the crown of the head begins to thin during this time.
Stage IV: Hair recedes more dramatically at the sides in this stage.
Stage V: The two main regions of hair loss in the front and back starts to thin.
Stage VI: The two main areas of hair loss unite in this stage.
Stage VII: In this stage, only the hair around the back and sides of the head remain, forming the classic “horseshoe” pattern.
What Sets SCALPS® Apart
World-Class SMP—
No Manhattan Premium
At SCALPS®, you’re booked with an internationally recognized artist whose precision and proven outcomes rival any top studio.
We’ve based our studio outside the city to eliminate unnecessary markup—so you receive world-class SMP without the Manhattan price tag, backed by transparent pricing and uncompromising quality.
WEIGHING QUALITY vs PRICE
Choose your provider based on experience, not price
Chasing the cheapest SMP deal almost always backfires—novice artists undercut because they lack the skill, and you’re stuck footing the bill for their mistakes. Top-tier SMP pros charge premium rates for a reason: years of flawless results and surgical precision. Talent isn’t cheap—demand drives the price. Invest upfront in seasoned experts and avoid costly corrections—your confidence is worth every penny.

City Studio vs Local Talent
Best Value, Results, or Both?
Think you need a flashy city address for top-tier SMP? Major-city studios tack on hefty overhead fees—you pay for their rent, not your look. If you already live downtown, the walk-in convenience and extra studio options can be a bonus. But if you’re dodging parking tickets and rush-hour snarls, you might be overlooking local artists who deliver award-winning results at a better price.
At SCALPS, we set up shop outside the urban rat-race to cut out those extra costs. You get precision SMP, beautiful studios, and decades of combined expertise—no city-center markup required.
