There are plenty of factors that affect the outcome of an SMP treatment such as the shape and position of your frontal hairline. If you’re looking into scalp micropigmentation as a viable solution for your hairline woes, then you came to the right place.

The Process
Types of Hairlines
-
Soft Hairline
Scalp Prodigy is known for its hyper realistic results, and we go beyond the norm to educate our clients on post care. The reconstruction of a natural hairline and crown is our most requested service. Many clients simply want to recreate the hairline they had prior to hair loss, but achieving this type of realism takes a high degree of skill.The process of creating a soft hairline for SMP begins by establishing a staggered hairline, which creates an implied line across the forehead. Its precise location is determined by your bone structure, facial symmetry, and your resting or smiling appearance. With the hairline established, the crown is filled in a way that mimics your natural hair follicles.
Hard Hairline
A hard hairline is popular with clients who are used to frequenting their local barbershop. This look features a sharp barbered edge up with pointed edges at the temples. Hard hairlines can look unnatural by design—no one is born with a razor-straight hairline—but our approach is different because our skilled technicians can replicate this look with SMP and make it look realistic.Our secret at Scalp Prodigy is to add a degree of softening by placing a few staggered impressions outside of the hairline. You’ll still have the crisp hairline you desire, but enough softness to add just the right amount of naturalism.
Hybrid Hairline
Hybrid hairlines create a slightly receded hairline. The temple area is typically left unchanged or only rounded with a small number of impressions, while the hairline is brought down an inch or two. This results in a natural look, with SMP blending in effortlessly with native follicles.
