This Shaved Look Session builds realistic density, balanced hairline definition, and consistent coverage tailored to your head shape. Calm, consultation led, and focused on natural results here in Brighton. ## What's Included A structured treatment plan focused on a natural shaved result. - Proper consultation and hairline design that suits your features. - Shade and density planning matched to your complexion and any existing hair. - Scalp micropigmentation applied in fine, layered points to mimic follicles. - Blending through temples, crown and edges for a seamless finish. - Option to refine or soften the hairline style across sessions. - Small scar camouflage if suitable after assessment. - Clear aftercare guidance and a maintenance plan. - Option for tricopigmentation if you prefer a temporary approach. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want a natural buzz cut finish with a stronger hairline and even tone. Works well for receding hairlines, thinning areas, full scalp coverage, and for softening the look of FUE or other small scars. Also suitable if you are exploring a hair tattoo or scalp tattoo to refine a receding hairline or a bald scalp. A calm choice if you keep your hair very short and want it to look consistently sharp here in Brighton. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Plan for three appointments. The first two are usually booked on consecutive days to build your base, with a final refinement about four weeks later. Each visit typically takes up to four hours depending on coverage and skin characteristics. We confirm timing and spacing during your consultation so the plan fits your schedule. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Keep the scalp clean and dry for the first few days. Avoid heavy sweating, swimming and direct sun while initial settling takes place. Do not pick or exfoliate. Resume gentle shaving once the scalp feels settled, and moisturise lightly as advised. SMP is long lasting, with occasional top ups over time to keep colour and definition fresh. Tricopigmentation is designed to fade sooner and is refreshed more frequently.
