The Elite Scalp Micropigmentation Masterclass
Two award-winning artists, one certification built to make you win
The Elite Scalp Micropigmentation
Masterclass.
One certification built to make you both.
The only SMP training built by two nationally recognized artists who both won in the same year — Silver and Gold. Learn the technique that earned the recognition, and the business system that turns it into a career.
Trained by the top SMP artists
the industry measures itself against.
Every cohort is led personally by both artists — not assistants, not recorded modules. You train directly under the people who set the standard.
Alex Asher
Alex left a fifteen-year business career to pursue scalp micropigmentation, and built SCALPS into New Jersey’s top-rated SMP studio with locations across the Northeast and Florida. His approach fuses precise artistry with the operating discipline of a career entrepreneur.
- 2023 Silver Award — Best SMP Artist in the USA
- 2022 CIO Today Award — SMP Specialist of the Year
- Named a Top 20 Entrepreneur Disrupting the Industry
- Head of the SMP Education Society
Alex Corona
Alex Corona is widely respected by fellow artists as one of the elite practitioners shaping modern SMP. His hyper-realistic, impression-by-impression technique is engineered for softness, longevity, and seamless healed results—never quick, generic density. Six-times certified and the 2023 Gold Award winner for Best SMP Artist in North America, he brings a relentless client-first standard and the eye of an artist whose work helps define where the industry is headed.
- 2023 Gold Award — Best SMP Artist, North America
- Recognized among the small group setting the global standard for modern SMP
- Six-times certified across leading SMP methodologies
- Specialist in hyper-realistic hairlines, layered impressions, and healed density
SMP technique gets you a portfolio.
It doesn’t get you a business.
Most programs stop the moment you can hold a needle.
You leave able to replicate a hairline, but with no idea how to find your first client, price your work, or survive the first slow season. That’s why so many trained artists never build a real practice.
This is the only program taught by two award-winning artists.
You’re not learning one person’s style. You’re learning where a Silver and a Gold national award-winner agree on technique — and where they disagree, so you can form your own eye.
Two SMP training tracks.
One elite certification.
Every artist who leaves this room can do the work and knows how to build a client base around it. Nothing here is theory — every module maps to something both instructors do in their own studios every week.
The SMP Artistry
Reading the Scalp as a Canvas
Skin tone, texture, and follicle behavior before a single dot goes down.
Hairline Design & Facial Symmetry
Designing a hairline that fits the face in front of you, not a template.
Dot Theory & Density Layering
Building natural density across sessions without overworking the scalp.
Pigment Science & Skin Tone Matching
Choosing and blending pigment that heals true and ages well.
Scar Camouflage & Alopecia Cases
Working with transplant scarring, patchy alopecia, and irregular growth.
Live Model Practicum
Supervised hands-on sessions on real models, corrected in real time.
The Business Development
Building a Brand From Zero
Positioning, pricing, and identity for a studio nobody has heard of yet.
The Client Acquisition Funnel
The exact lead-to-consult-to-booking path both instructors run today.
Consultations That Close
Handling objections, price hesitation, and the “let me think about it.”
Content & Before/After Marketing
Turning healed results into the content that fills your calendar.
Systems, Booking & Follow-Up
Setting up a CRM and booking flow so nothing falls through the cracks.
Scaling Past Year One
Referral systems, repeat touch-ups, and when to raise your prices.
Everything included to leave ready.
Multi-Day, In-Person Training
Hands-on instruction from both Alex Asher and Alex Corona — not a video course.
Dual Certification
Documented certification from two nationally recognized, award-winning artists.
The Business & Marketing Playbook
The branding, funnel, and follow-up framework used to build both instructors’ studios.
Live-Model Practicum
Supervised real-client sessions before you ever touch a paying client on your own.
Direct Mentor Access
Ongoing access to both instructors as you take on your first paying clients.
A Small, Vetted Cohort
Limited seats per session so every artist gets real, direct feedback — not a back row.
One SMP training tuition. Two award-winning mentors.
A career, if you use it.
Compare that to years spent guessing your way to a working technique and a full book of clients. This is the shortcut two people took the hard way, condensed into one program.
