If you’re on the fence about this treatment, if you’ve heard about it but you’re a little nervous because you don’t know how it’s going to look, or you’ve never had a tattoo and you’re not sure if it’s going to hurt, let me hopefully help with those concerns by walking you through my experience. The Business: This small business is amazing. It’s legitimate, well-run, and certified by the Better Business Bureau. Patrick is endlessly professional and personable. He’s easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to, and really great at assessing what your needs are. He operates out of a private salon suite that’s clean, nicely decorated, and has a TV to keep you entertained. The chair is a recliner, and you wear a neck pillow for extra comfort. Since it’s a private room, you don’t have to worry about people coming in and out—you just sit back and chill. Patrick (the artist): Patrick is an amazing artist and really understands what you’re trying to accomplish—creating the look of dense, short hair follicles on your scalp in a way that doesn’t draw attention and looks totally natural. He takes a conservative approach, doing multiple sessions with gradually increasing darkness. This gives him the flexibility to adjust things and make sure it looks just right. Pigment can darken after a few days, so having that time between sessions helps you see how it’s healing before going further. He avoids the common mistakes, like creating hairlines that are too hard or fake-looking. Above all, he creates a natural-looking scalp that feels authentic. Every step of the way, he talks through the plan with you. He’s great at matching your hair color and has a really sharp eye for the nuances of hair, color, and spacing. In short: he makes it look real. Sessions and Pain Potential: I did three treatment sessions (with the option for a fourth if needed), each spaced about two weeks apart. From what I understand, that’s typical for most of his clients. Each session can be up to 4 hours, but for me, it was usually around 2.5 hours. As my first treatment got closer, I started wondering what it would feel like and if it would be painful. I was pleasantly surprised. While there’s definitely a sensation, it felt more like someone scratching your head with a plastic toothpick. Not exactly pleasant, but totally manageable. It never felt like it was going deep into the skin. Toward the end of each session, it started to feel a little more irritating, just because he’d been working for a while. But Patrick is really good about moving around on your scalp so no one area is getting overworked. Even when it got a bit irritating, it wasn’t unmanageable, and it usually meant the session was almost done. For reference, during one session I was running low on sleep and I’m pretty sure I drifted off. The rest of the time I had my headphones in, listening to an audiobook, while Patrick had calming music and nature visuals playing on the TV. All in all, it was a surprisingly relaxing experience. Overall Feelings: As you can probably guess, I’m a big fan. I’d been thinking about this treatment for a while, but I wasn’t sure what the process was like or how it would turn out. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of what to expect—the treatment itself, Patrick’s skill, and the overall vibe. I’m extremely satisfied with the results.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to hear how positive your experience was from start to finish. I know this treatment can feel like a big step, so I'm really grateful that you trusted me with the process and gave others such a clear window into what it’s like. Your words about the environment, comfort, and results really affirm the care and intention I put into every session. I’m especially glad to know you felt relaxed and at ease throughout—it’s always my goal to create a space where people feel comfortable, heard, and confident in the outcome. Thank you again for your kind feedback and for giving others the reassurance they may need to take that first step. It was a real pleasure working with you!

Patrick is BEST Smp artist in town! He is professional and personable with every encounter. More importantly, his work speaks for itself. His artistic approach, attention to detail, color matching, overall natural appearance of the results sets him apart from other Smp artists. He is skilled at working on female hair parts, hair lines etc. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you had such a positive experience. I’m passionate about delivering natural, high-quality results, and I’m glad that came through in your treatment. Your trust and support—especially your willingness to recommend me to friends and family—are the highest compliments I could receive.

Having been intrigued by SMP, I came across Pat’s work on Instagram and was really impressed with how natural his clients’ results were. Pat was extremely collaborative during our free consultation, and it was important to me to thread the needle of having a full hairline without it being obvious that I had work done. I decided to trust Pat, and I’m so glad that I did. The initial sessions came out great, and the included touch up session he provides for a later date is wonderful added value. I don’t miss my hair at all, and I’m thrilled with the results. If you’re thinking about SMP, check out his work and give him a call.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m really glad you found my work and felt confident enough to take the leap with SMP. It was a pleasure working with you to achieve that natural, undetectable look you were aiming for. Hearing that you don’t miss your hair and are thrilled with the results is exactly why I do what I do. I appreciate your trust and thoughtful feedback—it truly means a lot.

I recently had scalp micro pigmentation done here, and the results are flawless—it looks incredibly natural! The workplace was immaculate (spotlessly clean), and Patrick was highly professional. He made the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would absolutely recommend his services to anyone considering SMP. If I could give 6 stars, I would! Don’t hesitate—book with confidence!
