Hello all.
I had hair transplant surgery about 20 yrs ago. Well it did look nice for about 5 years then I recceed back and after 3 transplants and spending over 15,000 it simply was not effective. I went back to wearing a hat. Then about 5 years ago I decided to shave my head and embrace a new look. That's really when I discovered the giant scars on the back of my head. Not that I could see them but everyone else could. So fast forward to the present. I decided to explore SMP. The whole process scared me. Putting permanent ink onto your scalp. What if it doesn't come out right or look unnatural. Then what? Then I discovered temporary smp or tricopigmentation. I discovered Melena Lardi Facebook in Italy. The work just looked natural. I decided to further investigate and even considered a trip to Italy!
Then I discovered Ahead Ink in the New York City Area which utilizes the same technique and the owner was trained by Melena Lardi. I messaged Ahead Ink and did further research. I was pleased when I received a call from Eric. The difference to me was I did not recieve a call from a sales rep but the person who would do this procedure. In short, he's a pro. I decided to move forward and explained my biggest concern was not a full head of hair look but a completely natural look.
I am very pleased with the results so far. I am going back in about 3 weeks for the last procedure. The first two are done on back to back days then you return a month or so later for final procedure. Honestly I am already pleased with my initial procedure results. Very natural and my giant scars are not so giant or unsightly anymore. I will report back after final procedure. I took off my hat!!! thats huge for me. Some of you guys know what I mean!
From my experience dealing with Eric let me save anyone a lot of time. Just reach out to Ahead Ink. Not only is Erik fantastic at what he does he also helped me with some travel tips and even dropped me off at my hotel.
I am not so sure I am comfortable putting a photo up but after the last procedure in a few weeks I will provide close up of hair area and scar area. Right now I could not be more pleased. When my 19 yr old daughter saw me she stared me down and then said dad I like the new look. It fits you. Believe me if something was wrong she would have told me.
I work in an environment where if this did not look 100 percent real at least 50 people would immediately tell me so. Yesterday I walked into work and all I heard was hey you shaved your head. So glad I did this. I will report back after final procedure
