Headliner.ink Studio

Headliner.ink, also called Headliner Studio, is a scalp micropigmentation studio based at 315 3rd Street in Huntington Beach, with a second location at The Promenade in Long Beach that the studio lists as The Raven and The Wolves. The work centers on SMP, a superficial cosmetic tattoo also known as a hair tattoo. It can create the appearance of a closely cropped head of hair on a bald scalp or add visible density where hair has thinned. The studio says it works on all ethnicities and ages and is open to men and women dealing with any form of hair loss.

The treatment can also be used to conceal scars left by hair transplantation and to lessen how noticeable burns or scarring on the head appear. Before and after results are shown in a gallery on the studio's website, and the business is open seven days a week: weekdays from 7am to 10pm, Saturdays from 8am to 10pm, and Sundays from 8am to 11pm.

Prospective clients can also send a well-lit photo and receive a custom virtual image within 24 hours showing how the hairline could look with SMP. The studio describes SMP as safe, effective and permanent, and as costing a fraction of what hair transplants cost; these are the business's own claims.

Built around individual attention: a free consultation and virtual mock-up come before any booking, and each client is worked with directly.
