What to Expect From Start to Finish
Getting SMP shouldn’t feel confusing. My process is streamlined, transparent, and built to give you the most natural, undetectable hairline possible. Here’s exactly how it works - step by step.
A clear process creates natural results - and confidence at every step.
No Cost Consultation & Digital Mockup
We start with a conversation - either in person or through photos. You tell me what you want: cleaner hairline, fuller density, enhancing old work, or a full transformation.
Then I create a digital mockup so you can see your future look before we begin. This is where we dial in:
Hairline shape
Density level
Fade strength
Overall style
Goal: make sure we’re on the exact same page.
Hairline Design
Your new hairline is drawn in real time using precise facial symmetry measurements.
Together we make adjustments with you in the mirror until your hairline feels:
natural
age-appropriate
well-defined, custom and individual
tailored to your features
Most clients say this is the moment they get genuinely excited about their evolving transformation.
Foundation Layer First Session
We lay the base layer - your foundation.
This creates the illusion of depth and gives the next layers something to build on. It’s gentle, controlled, and customized to your skin tone.
Expect:
Immediate improvement
Built around your head shape
Zero “blotchy” or unnatural look
A soft shadow effect that blends perfectly with existing hair
A tailored foundation, mapped to your head shape, that elevates every step that comes next.
Density Build-Out Second Session
This is where everything comes to life.
We add density, texture, and detail, creating the final “full head of hair” effect.
This session is all about:
Tightening the fade
Layering tones
Increasing realism
Perfecting the blend into the sides/back
For most clients, this is when the transformation fully comes to life.
Optional Third Session
Some clients are satisfied after two sessions.
Others choose a third for extra density or micro refinements.
This session focuses on:
Balancing tone
reinforcing areas that heal lighter
making everything truly bulletproof for the long term
When restoration goals have been met, this final touch brings everything into harmony, giving the result its polished, lasting finish.
Aftercare Instructions & Healing
Most clients need little to no time off from work.
You’ll leave with simple, no-nonsense instructions. Healing is fast and straightforward.
Within a week, you’ll notice:
Settling of the tone
Natural blending
A well-defined, clean hairline
Zero downtime
You’ll walk out comfortable, confident, and fully prepared for a smooth, effortless heal.
SMP generally lasts 3-5 years before a touchup.
You’ll receive:
Personalized SMP care suggestions
Product guidance to support a clean heal and long-lasting results
Timely notifications for your next refresh - we’re always glad to have you back
This is designed to be the lowest-maintenance solution you’ll ever do for your confidence.
