SMP has quickly become such an effective hair loss solution because of its consistently natural and ultra realistic results. Saloon SMP prides itself on the ability to seamlessly replicate each individual hair follicle by colour matching your skin tone, hair colour and follicle size, as well as take into account the clients age and stage of hair loss to create a perfect match for each client that looks completely natural, blended seamlessly into your existing hair.

If you’re unsure of what shape hairline will suit you, we can assist. We have a barbering/hairdressing background so our experience on how to fit a hairline to head shape and age, means we’ll recommend what’s best. Over the course of your sessions you can also adjust and tweak your hairline.

Our pricing is based on the level of hair loss, which is different for each client, and the size of the area needing to be covered. Typically, client’s can expect treatment costs to range between $1,300 – $4,000 for density or full hairline creation.

We recommend setting up a free and confidential, no obligation consultation so we can evaluate your case and provide a personalised price quote based on your hair loss needs.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. SMP can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to change hairstyles.

Located in the picturesque town of Airlie Beach, Queensland, our saloon provides the perfect environment for you to embark on your SMP journey. With sunny weather and a serene atmosphere, Airlie Beach offers a rejuvenating setting that complements the transformative experience of SMP.

Our studio is a private space that only caters to SMP services. This means your sessions are completely dedicated to you and your SMP experience.

Yes! Clients with grey hair can benefit from the SMP procedure. First, clients are advised to cut their hair short. This makes the grey hair roots blend with the natural shades of grey. Grey hair becomes more visible as it grows longer.

Secondly, we use a grey-scale pigment that can be adjusted to match lighter hair tones. We create a lighter mixture to blend with existing grey hairs. This applies to clients with thinning grey hair who want a density treatment as well.

Yes!

Clients who may be thinning and like to salon colour their hair can absolutely benefit from the SMP procedure. No matter what colour your hair is, everyone’s hair follicle is a shade of grey. This is what we as SMP artists base your pigment colour off. So if you have freshly dyed blonde hair, your hair follicle is still a shade of grey and this is what we will be replicating in your sessions.

Secondly, we use a grey-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing hair. The result will create fuller looking hair that blends seamlessly into your existing hair.

SMP treatments can last up to 10 years! On completion of the final session, you should expect to see the strength of the colour for many years. The pigments used by Saloon are very stable once implanted into the skin. This is due to the absence of oils (glycerine, witch hazel, etc). This ensures the treatment will in general not require re-application for a number of years. However, over time with exposure to sun, individual skin health and natural skin shedding, slight fading may occur. This is normal, and why we offer refresher sessions to touch up and refresh the dots years on.

Touch ups are a simple procedure requiring only a few hours to complete and once again bring the treatment back to looking like new. We see most of our clients come in around 2-5 years for their refresher.

Saloon SMP offer a 12 month guarantee to cover for any fading, adjustments to hairline, or any areas that may need a little more blending within the first year of your treatment. You can ask about this when you chat with on our artists.

Each treatment takes 2-4 sessions depending on the extent of your hair loss. How the skin heals, its condition and your aftercare will also play a factor in how many sessions are needed. Each session is about 2-5 hours long and spaced 7-14 days apart for sessions 1 and 2, and 2-4 weeks apart for session 3. Saloon will follow up with clients 4-6 weeks after your last session for any final blending or 4th sessions.

Instantly!

SMP is a process in which the artist replicates your existing hair follicles by placing colour matched pigment into the upper part of the dermal layer of your skin (the papillary layer). Using a specific SMP machine and micr-needles, just like a tattoo, the result is instant. Each session, we layer more and more dots in order to gain a completely realistic hairline that blends seamlessly into your existing hair.

Voilà!

The majority of clients who have undergone this procedure have told us that after the first 20 minutes they get used to the sensation. Each client has a different experience, but SMP is quite tolerable. Because SMP penetrates the skin with a micro needle that is approximately 0.2mm in diameter at the insertion depth, there is very little bleeding, if any. There will however be an amount of redness that usually subsides over the following few hours. The pain is generally rated between a 2-5 out of 10. A numbing cream can be used for clients who have a low pain tolerance.
