Real client experience, UK-based, treated at MicroHair® Liverpool
Hair systems have seen a major boom in recent years. From social media makeovers to salon transformations, the appeal is clear—instant results, thicker-looking hair, and a boost in confidence. But for many men, what starts as a solution can eventually become a burden.
One of our clients, Scott, shared his honest journey with us—starting with a hair system and eventually transitioning to Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) at MicroHair® Liverpool. His story mirrors that of many men who have spent years managing hair loss behind closed doors.
Hair Systems – The Start of Something Promising
Scott began his journey in 2015, when thinning hair led him to shave his head. Although this gave him a sense of relief at first, he still longed to see hair on his head again. After six years of shaving, he stumbled upon hair systems online. What began as curiosity turned into an obsession, and he soon booked in for his first fitting.
The results were immediate. Hair was back and with it, a sense of confidence he hadn’t felt in years.
But as time went on, the reality of maintenance kicked in. Weekly removal, cleaning, rebonding, and monthly salon appointments became his new normal. Despite learning how to manage it himself, the process was time-consuming and costly.
After four years, and over £10,000 spent, Scott began to feel mentally drained. The hair system that once boosted his self-esteem now felt like a trap. The fear of removing it and being exposed was overwhelming. He needed an exit—but didn’t know where to turn.
Discovering SMP – A Realistic Way Out
It wasn’t long before Scott came across Scalp Micropigmentation. At first, he was sceptical—concerned it would be just another trend. But the more research he did, the more it made sense. SMP offered a clean, natural-looking hairline without the daily upkeep of a system.
After finding MicroHair®, with clinics in Liverpool and Manchester, and seeing real results from clients treated by Marcin Adam, Scott booked a consultation. He was immediately reassured. The studio was clean and professional, and the artist’s experience and knowledge put him at ease.
Scott underwent four sessions in total to treat his Norwood 7 hair loss pattern. Each session was comfortable, honest, and personalised. The process didn’t just restore the appearance of hair—it gave him back control over his daily life.
Why More Men Are Choosing SMP Over Hair Systems
Scott’s story isn’t unique. Many men begin with a hair system, only to discover the hidden costs—both financial and emotional. SMP, by contrast, is low maintenance, cost-effective in the long run, and delivers a clean, sharp look that doesn’t rely on adhesives or constant upkeep.
At MicroHair®, we’re seeing a growing number of former hair system wearers who are ready to move on. Our clinics in Liverpool and Manchester provide a discreet, professional space where men can finally take that next step with confidence.
Thinking About Making the Switch?
If you’re currently wearing a system and feel stuck, SMP might be the freedom you’ve been looking for. As Scott says, “I finally found a way out."
