Chris Herrera was professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. He was flexible with scheduling and offered great suggestions that made me feel confident throughout the SMP process. The results look fantastic so far, and I’ll share an update in six months. Highly recommend his work!

Honestly, the first session had me freaking out. It’s darker than you expect and much, much different than your old, absent hairline. But Chris did me a solid and reassured me, told me to “trust the process.” And I’m glad he did. People can’t tell that it’s SMP and I feel more confident. It looks really natural after the swelling goes down and it fades.

Not to mention, Chris and the gang are all friendly and respectful.

It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it. Especially from The Art of SMP.

I’ll give and honest review because 5 stars from everyone is definitely scripted 😂 I flew from Seattle to DC to have the procedure done. I was informed that the price I paid was for 3 sessions. I only received 2 sessions because he said I didn’t fly back within a certain timeframe. A deadline timeframe for the 3rd sessions was never provided so when I asked for my final session Chris informed he’ll give me a deal to touch it up for 2k !!!!l. I’m sorry but 2k for a touch up is outrageous for a job not all the way finished. Also if your a darker person of color the procedure is not going to show well. The procedure is catered more for the light skin complexion. I thought I was going to get a perfect hairline from Chris but he made it more of a natural look🤦🏽‍♂️ trust me it’s a decent process not painful but definitely not worth the money or time 2 round trip flights hotels and rental cars to still not have the scalp Micro-pigmentation done correctly. Should of just stayed on the west coast. Some people are good people but some are just MONEY HUNGRY and will try to take advantage of other people’s flaws.

Laura is a great artist.She really put in the effort to make sure the job was done perfectly and paid close attention to every detail. I felt cared for throughout the whole process, and the results exceeded my expectations.

Just got a touch up from the best SMP artist on the east coast. I’m feeling like a car that just got an oil change. My touch ups will be more frequent. Shout out to my boy Chris.

The best experience I have had! Exactlant communication. Appointment was always on time and this SMP procedure changed my life! I'm happy I followed through with getting Chris to get my hair right!

Chris at the Art of SMP is the single most professional, knowledgeable, and talented SMP artists I have come across and had an experience with. After 3 sessions I’m absolutely astonished with the level of quality and natural look he was able to achieve with the results. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner!

I want to highly recommend Chris for anyone considering a tattoo. He’s incredibly professional and made my teen son feel confident and at ease, even during the first session. While getting a tattoo can be painful, my son was able to handle it thanks to Chris’s expertise and calming presence. As he was finishing up, Chris took my son to a different room to check the tattoo under different lighting to ensure it was perfect. He never rushed through the process and was extremely careful and caring, making sure we were completely satisfied. Though it’s not the cheapest, I can honestly say it was the best investment I’ve ever made. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Anyone who is considering this service needs not to look no further. This is where you need to go, I just flew from California to Kensington, Maryland to get Scalp Micropigmentation procedure done. Chris over exceeded my expectations and did a phenomenal job on my scalp. Thanks again for the amazing work!

Chris is a real artist.  He is a professional who takes pride in his work and did an amazing job. Don’t get tempted with other cheaper places.  I am very satisfied with SMP and highly recommend them. Best wishes to the team. Thank you.

Laura did a solid job on my hairline, she answered all my questions thoroughly and without hesitation. She accommodated what I was looking for and was very kind in handling my requests. There was some initial miscommunication in the beginning, but she was open and receptive to talking and resolving, which I loved. She also helped establish the best color for my skin color & black hair and was considerate of the future color as well which I appreciated, greatly. I am very particular with PMU, and have interviewed almost every SMP artist in the DMV, and intentionally went with Laura because of her expertise, strive for perfection, dedication, and  compassionate nature.

Laura is absolutely amazing. She did my SMP touch up and gave me a few tiny tattoos. I am very impressed by her work, professionalism and knowledge on all the services she provides. She is very welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend her for SMP and any tiny tattoos!

Five stars all the way—but I’d give more if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scalpmama was beyond incredible. From the moment you walk into Tint Studio, there’s an immediate sense of calm. The space is beautifully designed—every detail in each artist’s room feels intentional, clearly curated to create a relaxing and welcoming environment.

Scalpmama’s energy fits in perfectly. She’s calm, warm, and professional, and made the entire process feel easy and comfortable. She was happy to answer all my questions about the tattoo process, played an awesome playlist that kept the vibes right, and was so detail-oriented with her work. It’s obvious she takes deep pride in what she does—always considering the client’s perspective and truly invested in long-term results.

I’ve already started recommending her to numerous friends who are also interested in getting smaller tattoos. Highly recommend!! You’re in great hands here ❤️

Top tier experience from the time you walk through the doors…a spa vibe! She knows her craft and is very experienced & professional. Laura performed damage control to my previous micro blading experience from someone else. This current experience was damn near painless and the healing process is 10x better. I wish I went to Laura first!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of undergoing scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I've made for myself!

From the moment I entered the clinic, I was greeted by a warm and professional staff who made me feel right at home. They took the time to discuss my goals and concerns, explaining the entire process in detail and ensuring that I was comfortable every step of the way.

The artist’s expertise shone through as they meticulously crafted a natural-looking hairline, paying close attention to the details to mimic the appearance of real hair follicles. I was impressed by their artistic approach and the use of high-quality pigments that blended perfectly with my natural hair color.

The procedure itself was surprisingly comfortable. While there was a bit of initial apprehension, the artist's skillful technique minimized any discomfort. The students present also did a phenomenal job practicing and ensuring I was comfortable. They checked in with me frequently to ensure I was okay, which made the experience much more pleasant.

The results have been absolutely amazing! I walked out feeling rejuvenated and more confident. Looking forward to the next couple touch ups for a more fuller, Richer look. Overall impressed with first visit 👍🏾

I highly recommend scalp micropigmentation to anyone considering it. This has truly been a life-changing experience for me, and I’m grateful to the talented team that made it all possible. If you’re looking for a boost in confidence and a solution to thinning hair, look no further!!!!!!
