THE DEFINED HAIRLINE (SMP style by Marc Allen)

Hi, guys. We’re here talking about hairlines and this is The Defined Hairline. What is a defined hairline? Usually, it’s a hairline that’s got a shape to it, not quite an edge up, it’s not quite as harsh as shape up. The defined hairline might be straight across the forehead where the natural hairline would be, or it might be slightly rounded, but it’s more defined than usual. What I mean by defined is the finish of the SMP work (more visibily defined).
You choose your shape, whether that be a round shape, and then we drop in a first treatment with a lighter shade.

As we add in the second treatment, we come further down the parts of the scalp. When working with most hairlines, I tend to fade out the front. Let’s say we are dealing with a faded hairline, there might be about an inch of the SMP that needs fading. With a defined hairline, we keep the density down to more like a quarter of an inch from the hairline. Everything gets closer to the edge. That gives you a more defined look, a stronger hairline. This is for guys who are used to that kind of style, that can carry off that kind of style. For anybody who’s looking for a stronger style, you can start off your treatment again, if you are slightly cautious, you can not decide about how defined you want it, you can wait until your second or third session and say to your artist, “I would like it more defined.”
Then that just means we bring the slightly darker session in and we are dropping about a quarter of an inch towards the hairline. Gives you that stronger look, all right? That’s about it for the defined hairline. If you want to see more hairline exaples please click here.

A hairline is one of the most crucial elements of having scalp micropigmentation. I have created a range of hairline styles that all Creative Scalps technicians have mastered. We ensure that our skilled technicians will work with you tirelessly to find the style you desire. Don’t believe me, thake a look at our results.

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?

SMP is cosmetic tattooing (medical hair tattoo) that offers a solution to hair loss by replicating hair follicles that are about to grow giving the impression of a shaved look. SMP can treat anywhere on the scalp that is losing hair or even complete baldness of the scalp.

Prices vary from £600 per session to £1,300 per session depending on which artist carries out the SMP Prices are based on a session price rather than individual case price.

Scalp micropigmentation gives the look of a shaven head or a stubble shadow look, the treatment at Creative Scalps will be undetectable, only you, the people you choose to tell and Creative Scalps will know.

This is dependent on the amount of hair loss. As a general rule, you will be looking at 3 or 4 sessions over a 6-8 week period. Each session can last 2-4 hours.

This is done according to skin tone and/or remaining hair colour. We have huge experience of a diverse range of clients from all cultures. 1st sessions usually start with a lighter shade and we gradually build up density and darkness as we progress to complete your treatment.

We can go through some pictures of hairlines and draw some hairlines on you. When choosing hairlines it is always best to play it safe, not going too low on the first visit. Then on the second visit you would have decided how low you want to go. We can also produce various hairline styles depending on what you like (ie jagged, soft, slightly receding, edged up, lines and designs) Creative Scalps have developed techniques and procedures to ensure your hairline will be in the correct place and suit you and your style. We are from a barbering background and have years of top level experience to ensure this is done correctly.

No. We use different pigments, inks, machines, needles and techniques. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a specialist field of its own and requires a highly experienced technician to achieve great results.

No not at all, as the depth of the needle is only into the upper dermis, if anything the treatment has been known to stimulate hair growth.

Results of completed treatments will last for years, depending on lifestyle and immune system. Many clients like to have a top-up session after 2 or 3 years just to keep their new style looking fresh.

TOP-UP  prices vary according to what is needed. Prices for an existing client can variety from £470 to £1000.

For best results you would need the treatment to dry heal for 4 days after each treatment. So this would mean avoiding sweat, water and any sorts of creams, lotions etc….
After this period you can slowly increase activity.

Everyone is different depending on skin types. Immediately after treatment our technician will clean your treatment and use an anti-redness topical anaesthetic so you will leave the clinic looking and feeling great. The redness may possibly be with you for a day or two typically.

The treatment is perfectly safe, we use sterile equipment and brand new packaged needles for every procedure. We take health & safety very seriously and are fully insured and regulated.

No, as we only use a carbon based black pigment which is diluted to match your skin tone.

Yes, direction of hair growth is always taken into consideration for the most realistic results.

The honest answer is yes you are going to feel discomfort as with any tattoo procedure. We advise clients to have eaten well and be in good health on the day of treatment. Our pre-treatment advice also includes moisturising the scalp twice daily in the days/weeks leading up to your procedure. This will help soften the skin. The elation you will feel after solving your hairloss issues will far outweigh any discomfort from treatment. 

We can work it around your work or social life no problem, weekends late nights early mornings are all ok. Creative Scalps has one of the worlds most skilled and experienced technicians so we do sometimes have waiting lists of 4-6 weeks.

    Faded smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    FADED HAIRLINE

    The Faded Hairline was created to give clients a softer look at the front edge of their SMP hairline. We achieved this look by simply using lighter shades of pigment and building up density and shade behind this area as we progressed through the multiple sessions of the SMP procedure. With this new look created, a more natural and subtle SMP procedure was born and has now become legendary.

    Out of a desire from Scalp Artist Marc Allen to create a look that produced a more subtle, natural finish and lighter edge than previous ‘Old Skool’ SMP could achieve. The Faded Hairline is now one of the most sought after SMP hairlines in the business.

    Faux Scar smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    FAUX SCAR HAIRLINE

    The Faux Scar is a great way to add authenticity to your SMP procedure. These ‘scars’ can be added through the front edge or set back behind, the possibilities are endless. When we create a faux scar you will notice that we create a cracked version with different shading and density around it to again give it that extra realistic look and style. Quite often we will add these to a faded hairline and the results are incredible. If you already have a small scar we can keep it and it’s always possible for you to fill this area in at a later date.

    Receded smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    RECEDED HAIRLINE

    The Receded Hairline is another of our creations that has proved immensely popular. This hairline is achieved by creating a slightly con-cave side profile mixed with elements of the Faded Hairline to give you that authentic shape and finish that suits certain head shapes and styles.

    Dusted smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    DUSTED HAIRLINE

    The Dusted Hairline was created as a lighter version of SMP. For those clients who are light haired/skinned or very cautious and want to stay extremely subtle. This style can always be added to in the future as a clients confidence in their new look gains momentum over time.

    Peaked smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    PEAKED HAIRLINE

    The Widows Peak is commonly known and we have created an SMP version that is soft and broken to give it that incredible realism.

    Defined smp Hairline by Creative Scalps

    DEFINED HAIRLINE

    The Defined Hairline was created to replace what was traditionally known as an ‘Edge-Up’ We created a look that achieves the Edge-Up style but looks and ages better because of the techniques we use with shading and needle sizes to avoid over saturation on the front edge.

    SMP FADE

    The SMP Fade is again achieved by using shading similar to our faded hairline but this time on the side profile to give the seem-less illusion of a modern day skin fade. Marc’s barbering background was essential to creating this look and again took the SMP world by storm.
