Having struggled with thinning/fine hair for over 20 years and having had various hair systems during that time, I just wanted to be free of wearing hairpieces, toppers and thickening powders. This has been the ideal solution for me as I can now wear my hair tied up or down, without having to be concerned about my scalp. If you take a look at the before and after's - they really do just say it all. - S Stewart > The standard of service you will receive from Peter is exceptional. He is a master of his craft and is a complete perfectionist. He will stop at nothing to ensure that you, as the client are satisfied with the end result. Peter is professional, reassuring, & very skilled at what he does. I feel very lucky to have been recommended to him. My trico journey has been a great experience and the end result is great! - A Andrew F > I am so happy and grateful to have found Peter to do my treatment. He was professional, courteous and considerate. He obviously takes a lot of pride in his work and his enthusiasm shines through. I have had many compliments and would recommend him without a doubt. ## Frequently Asked Questions What happens in a scalp micropigmentation consultation?

You will see suitable hairline and density options, and leave with a tailored plan, timeline and pricing. Am I suitable for SMP or tricopigmentation?

The consultation confirms your options and recommends the approach that fits. How much does scalp micropigmentation cost? Pricing is tailored to your coverage needs, style and whether scar camouflage is involved. You receive a clear quote and session outline during the consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
