SMP TRAINING
Do you want to be great? Do you want to change lives? Learning The Skill + Art of SMP at The Scalp Shop will lead you there. In our highly concentrated SMP Certification Course, we educate students on the art form, technical application, equipment used, client relations, proprietary business secrets, branding practices and more.
BALD TRUTH
1 in 5 Americans suffer from hair loss. This means 80 million people, according to American Hairloss Association. This is a fraction of the 300 million bald(ing) people worldwide making this a flush industry ripe with opportunity. 2 clients a week = $22K per month.
HAIR LOSS HACK
Scalp Micro Pigmentation is the freshest and most cost effective hair loss solution in the market. It's permanent, non-invasive, hyper realistic, side effect-free and suitable on all skin tones.
LIFE CHANGER
Hair loss is traumatic and often shatters a person's identity. Our clients report that SMP has restored their confidence and call the treatment the best investment they've ever made.

TRAIN WITH THE BEST
The course is run by The Scalp Shop founder and lead artist, Giovanni James, who has 20 years in the game. As one of the first people to conceive the concept of SMP, Giovanni has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is a sought after artist and teacher worldwide. He has developed his own techniques that he passes onto his students and is committed to ensuring they're on point and the best they can possibly be.​
Students will also learn from award-winning artist and life-long educator, Dangerkat. With over 8 years SMP experience and a Bachelor of Fine Arts under her belt, Kat imparts her students with invaluable methods to master the art of SMP.
