Scalps & Co. West Palm Beach
Med spa in West Palm Beach, FL · 3 locations
SCALPS, founded by Alex Asher, who also works there as the founder and SMP artist, specializes in scalp micropigmentation. SMP is a cosmetic treatment in which small pigment marks are placed in the scalp to reduce the contrast between exposed scalp and remaining hair, giving the appearance of closely cropped follicles or fuller hair. The salon states plainly that SMP does not regrow hair, does not add physical thickness, and does not address the underlying cause of hair loss. The pigment remains in the skin; it does not produce hair shafts.

SCALPS, founded by Alex Asher, who also works there as the founder and SMP artist, specializes in scalp micropigmentation. SMP is a cosmetic treatment in which small pigment marks are placed in the scalp to reduce the contrast between exposed scalp and remaining hair, giving the appearance of closely cropped follicles or fuller hair. The salon states plainly that SMP does not regrow hair, does not add physical thickness, and does not address the underlying cause of hair loss. The pigment remains in the skin; it does not produce hair shafts.
Studios are in Manalapan, NJ (by appointment), Princeton, NJ (by appointment) and West Palm Beach, FL (by appointment). The business says it stays outside the city to keep studio overhead lower, which it links to making SMP more accessible, and it describes its studios as private spaces built for close work. Out-of-area clients can use a travel concierge to plan a two-trip treatment schedule and find hotels near the Central New Jersey studio.
Every visit starts with a free consultation, held by phone, by Zoom or in person at the Manalapan studio. It requires no procedure deposit and no treatment commitment, and it covers the look wanted, the treatment area, expected sessions, aftercare and cost. Treatment is scheduled only once the consultation and treatment plan are complete, and a consultation booking is confirmed only after the booking provider confirms it.
Listed prices are $1,100 per session for shaved SMP and $1,200 per session for density SMP. Typical three-session plans total $3,300 for shaved SMP and $3,600 for density SMP, though the business notes that additional sessions may be needed. Touch-ups cost $1,100 for existing SCALPS work and $1,200 for another provider's work, which requires an assessment first. Scar camouflage and alopecia plans are quoted individually after assessment or at consultation. A $100 procedure deposit reserves the procedure appointment, not the consultation, and is refundable with at least seven calendar days' notice.
The business describes itself as a leader in natural-looking SMP and says it offers an SMP training course and an SMP masterclass. Its Bold Beginnings program gives one free SMP procedure each month to one person under 26 who cannot afford it, selected by Alex Asher. The business describes SMP as a tattoo procedure and lists risks including infection, allergic reaction or an unwanted appearance. It notes SMP is not recommended for people prone to keloids, and scar camouflage is not recommended for recent operations, open skin or scars still changing.
Each treatment is planned individually after a consultation, covering the treatment area, expected sessions and an estimated total, and treatment is scheduled only after the plan is complete.
Studios are private spaces designed for close, detailed work.
