Questions Before SMP


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

I've heard good and bad about SMP. Probably more good than bad. Considering my circumstances I'm probably going to go through with it. I've done extensive research and have three places in mind. I've put together some questions which I will email them soon. Please chime in with any questions I should ask that I may have forgotten.

 

 

 

1. Approximately how long will the ink last before a touch up is needed?

2. If the ink fades does it just lighten or does it turn a different color?

3. If it fades will it stay sharp or does it blur?

4. Will the ink bleed?

5. Is detail given to the hairline to taper and feather it so it is not a harsh hairline which looks like an ink helmet?

6. Will the dots be small and far enough apart to look natural?

7. Can a 3D effect be accomplished so it doesn’t look flat and one dimensional?

8. Will care be taken to place the dots between the hair and not on it or close enough to it to damage a hair follicle?

9. Will this procedure cause shock loss?

10. Can gray be sprinkled in with it?

11. I have hair and won’t require as many dots as a bald individual and I’m only covering a small area- ? of the front top of my scalp, will the procedure be priced accordingly vs. a full head procedure?

12. What would I need to do to prep for this procedure?

13. What would the approximate cost be?

14. Will the color be matched to my own hair?

15. Will more than one session be required and if so how far apart?

16. How much do touch ups cost?
