Scalp micropigmentation is a non surgical cosmetic tattoo treatment designed to create the appearance of fuller hair by replicating tiny hair follicles in the scalp. Whether you’re experiencing thinning, a receding hairline, or more advanced hair loss, SMP offers a realistic way to restore the look of density and definition.
At Weekday Ritual, scalp micropigmentation is performed with precision, customized pigment, and a focus on natural results that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
scalp micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation uses micro deposits of pigment placed into the upper layers of the skin to mimic the look of shaved hair follicles or increased density in thinning areas.
It does not grow new hair, but it dramatically improves the appearance of fullness by creating contrast between the scalp and hair.
This treatment is commonly used for:
• Thinning hair
• Receding hairlines
• Bald spots or diffuse hair loss
• Alopecia
• Scar camouflage on the scalp
• Creating the look of a fuller buzz cut
Results are subtle, believable, and designed to complement your natural hair pattern.
SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION: starting at $200 for 1"x1": section (per session).
Full Scalp $3,000

FAQs
What is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic tattoo technique that creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles on the scalp. It doesn’t grow hair, but it adds the look of density and definition, helping thinning or bald areas blend naturally.
Does SMP look natural?
Yes, when done correctly. Pigments are custom blended to match your hair and skin tone, and dots are layered gradually to create realistic depth. Our focus is soft spacing, natural hairlines, and results that don’t look stamped on.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Results typically last several years. Over time, pigment may soften slightly, and a refresh session can be done if needed. Longevity depends on skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle.
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort or light scratching. It’s very tolerable for the majority of people, and sessions are broken up to keep you comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need two to four sessions, spaced several weeks apart. This allows us to build density slowly and ensure proper healing between visits.
What’s the healing process like?
Healing typically takes 7–14 days. During that time, you may experience mild redness, flaking, or itching. We’ll provide aftercare instructions and healing balm to keep your skin comfortable.
Can SMP help with scars or alopecia?
Yes. Scalp micropigmentation can camouflage scars from injury or surgery and is often used for alopecia related hair loss. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.
Will people be able to tell I had SMP?
Most people won’t. The goal is subtle enhancement that looks like natural follicles or fuller hair, not obvious cosmetic work.
Do I need to shave my head?
Not always. Some clients choose a shaved look, while others use SMP to add density to thinning areas with existing hair. This will be discussed during your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal downtime. You may experience redness for a day or two. You’ll need to avoid sweating, wearing a hat, swimming, and sun exposure for a short period while healing.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
You’ll receive detailed pre care instructions, but generally you should avoid sun exposure, arrive with a clean scalp, and follow any guidance provided before treatment.
Start with a consultation so we can assess your scalp, discuss goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
