Scalp Micropigmentation - SMP has evolved considerably over the years. Initially, big brand names dominated the market, but today, success and client satisfaction depend significantly more on the individual artist’s skill and reputation.

After recent discussions with industry insiders, it’s clear that major SMP brands without strong, recognised artists and verified portfolios are finding it increasingly challenging to stay competitive. While having a reputable brand behind an artist can be beneficial, achieving the best SMP results ultimately relies on the skill of the individual practitioner, rather than simply the brand logo.

Why Your Artist Matters More Than Ever

In the UK, many large SMP brands have high practitioner turnover rates. This turnover often results in inconsistent quality, as impressive SMP results showcased on clinic websites frequently come from artists who no longer work there. In some cases, photos displayed can even be borrowed or sourced from unrelated clinics abroad, particularly in places like the USA. As a client, this can leave you vulnerable to misleading information.

How to Protect Yourself

To ensure you receive high-quality SMP treatment, always:

• Request a portfolio directly from your chosen artist.

• Verify the authenticity of their work by asking for proof, such as a recent photo of the artist alongside their actual client.

• Avoid relying solely on a clinic’s general online gallery.
