What is scalp micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, places tiny pigment deposits in the scalp that read as short hair follicles. It is used to create the look of density in thinning areas, rebuild a hairline, or blend a scar or transplant scarring into the surrounding hair.

How much does scalp pigmentation cost in Houston?

Scalp pigmentation at Xclusive Beauty N' Brows starts at $125 and is quoted after a $25 consultation, because the price depends on the size of the area, the density you want and how many sessions it will take.

Does scalp micropigmentation work on scars?

Yes. Pigment can be worked into scar tissue to reduce the contrast between the scar and the surrounding scalp. Scar and stretch mark camouflage is also offered for the body, starting at $125.

How long does an SMP session take?

Plan for around four hours and forty-five minutes per session. Most clients need more than one session to build the final density.

Since 2018

Scalp micropigmentation

SMP places thousands of tiny pigment deposits in the scalp that read as short, freshly-cut hair follicles. It doesn't grow hair — it removes the contrast between scalp and hair that makes thinning obvious.

Scalp pigmentation is one of the two specialties LaSheen has focused on since becoming a PMU artist in 2018, and it's what a lot of clients travel across Houston for.

A hairline, rebuilt

This is what density looks like when it's built properly: thousands of individual deposits, placed at the angle and depth of the client's own follicles, blended so there's no edge where the work stops.

Press play. That result took more than one session — which is exactly why the consultation comes first.

The process

What your SMP looks like

Consultation

We look at the area, your skin tone and your hair colour, then map how far forward a hairline should sit for your age and face.

First session

A conservative pass that establishes placement and a base of density. Always lighter than the final result on purpose.

Building sessions

Follow-up passes deepen the density and blend the edges. Building slowly is what keeps SMP looking like hair instead of a flat shadow.

Maintenance

Pigment softens over the years with sun exposure. A refresh session brings the density back when you want it.

Before your consultation: come with your hair at the length you normally wear it, and bring photos of the look you're after. If you've had a transplant or scalp surgery, mention it when you book.
