HOW MUCH DOES A HAIR TATTOO (SMP) COST?
How To Find The Best Artist For You
Other factors that determine the cost of your hair tattoo
The cost of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) varies, with treatments in major cities like New York City often costing more due to higher real estate and operational expenses. However, a higher price in these areas doesn’t always equate to better quality. The key to superior SMP results lies in the practitioner’s skill and experience, not their location. When considering SMP, focus on the individual practitioner’s portfolio rather than the studio’s overall reputation.

The Norwood Scale
Hair loss scale for Men
The 7 Stages of 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 “m” pattern first seen in the previous stage deepens. Often, hair at the crown of the head begins to thin during this time as well. This is the first stage hair loss can be technically considered “baldness.”
- Stage IV: Hair recedes more dramatically at the sides in this stage, often leaving a triangular island of hair at the front of the head. The bald spot in the back of the head is more noticeable. However, there is generally a full bridge of hair that separates the two distinct areas of hair loss.
- Stage V: The two main regions of hair loss in the front and back are still distinct, but the band that separates them starts to thin.
- Stage VI: The two main areas of hair loss unite in this stage. Hair continues to recede around the sides of the head.
- Stage VII: In this stage, only the hair around the back and sides of the head remain, forming the classic “horseshoe” pattern.
The majority of our clients suffer from male pattern baldness, the severity of which is determined by The Norwood scale. If you are in the earlier stages of balding, treatment will be less costly compared to addressing the larger treatment areas associated with the later stages. Male pattern-balding cannot be prevented and generally follows these stages.
Pricing for those suffering from other conditions that result in hair loss in the form of general thinning, patching, or complete baldness will be established in the same way—the cumulative size of the treatment area determined by the size of the head and the extent of the hair loss.
Skin Type
When considering the cost of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), it’s important to note that various skin types and conditions might influence the overall price. Skin that is excessively dry, flaky, or highly sensitive, as well as conditions like severe acne or the presence of moles, may require additional care and time. Additionally, if you’ve had a recent hair transplant, inform your technician, as new skin or collagen formation can impact how the skin absorbs pigment. Adhering to pre-care and aftercare instructions is crucial, as certain skin conditions might lead to the need for extra sessions, potentially increasing costs. It’s always best to discuss these factors with your technician for a tailored approach to your SMP treatment.

SCAR CAMOUFLAGE
The presence of scarring may also require special time and consideration from a technician at Scalps. Since hair does not grow over scar tissue, and micropigmentation is meant to mimic natural hair stubble, other accommodations must be made.
For lighter scars, implementing a specialized technique along with our normal micropigmentation treatment will usually be enough to hide the blemish. For more pronounced scarring, our technicians might recommend focusing on the scar treatment before proceeding with the full scalp micropigmentation treatment, or we might recommend pre-treatment with our camouflage ink system.
Camouflage Ink “fades” the scar by first blending the discoloration into the surrounding skin before moving forward with our standard micropigmentation procedure to give the appearance of natural hair growth, as if the scar was never even there.
HAIR DENSITY AND STYLE
Even with a full head of hair, the natural density of one’s hair can vary greatly from person to person. Blondes, for example, have an average of 150,000 individual hair follicles, while redheads may have as few as 90,000. For the most natural look, we take into account the fullness and distribution of your natural hair. However, if you’re not happy with the natural distribution of your hair, talk to your technician about using micropigmentation to fill out the appearance of your existing hair.
The style you choose will also determine the density of the treatment and the time required to accomplish the look. A “wet shave” look is a very light treatment option, while a classic fade needs extra density in places which means extra treatment time.
