SMP Hair Creations

SMP Hair Creations is a scalp micropigmentation clinic at 3740 Kori Road, Suite 2, in Jacksonville, Florida. It works by appointment only and lists hours from noon to 8 pm, seven days a week. The clinic serves clients in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee and wider Northeast Florida, and names service areas including Riverside, San Marco, Mandarin, Ortega, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns County and the Beaches. According to the clinic, it is Jacksonville's leading SMP clinic and has more 5-star Google reviews than any other SMP clinic in the city. It also states it has five or more years of hands-on SMP experience and more than 200 completed transformations.

The clinic offers scalp micropigmentation for men and women experiencing hair loss. Work covers receding hairlines, thinning hair, male pattern baldness and transplant scars. Camouflage is also offered for scars from injuries or surgery, and for alopecia areata patches when the condition is stable. Pricing is listed as follows: the density treatment runs from $500 to $3,000 depending on coverage, the hairline treatment from $800 to $1,500, and full-scalp SMP at $2,000 to $3,800, usually over 2 to 4 sessions with a 12-month warranty. Scar camouflage is $300 to $400 per session, often 2 to 5 sessions. Previous SMP clients pay $300 for a touch-up session, usually a single quick visit, and smaller-area touch-ups for the hairline, crown or temples are priced to each client's needs. Corrections and refreshes are available for clients who had SMP done at another clinic, and touch-ups are never charged at full price for previous clients.

Consultations are free, in person or by photos, with no commitment required. The consultation covers hair loss, goals, pricing, the expected number of sessions and color selection, and may include a free sample session. Clients outside the area can have an online consultation through Facebook after sending photos in advance, and anyone can send photos or a short video for a quick evaluation before booking. After a consultation or photo review, pricing is personalized and provided as a written quote, and the clinic says it does not run limited-time promotions. Before a consultation, clients are asked to wear their hair as usual or shave with a zero guard, and not to razor-shave. Clients can test hairline shapes at home with a makeup pencil, Toppik hair fibers and photos. Each session lasts about 2 to 4 hours depending on the area treated. A patch test places a small ink dot behind the ear and several on the scalp to check for allergy and color match.

Most treatments are completed in 2 to 4 sessions, often about three, spaced roughly one to two weeks apart, with occasional tweaks four to six weeks later. Pigment color and hairline design are matched to each client's natural hair color, skin tone and face shape. The clinic uses digital, rotary and fine precision needles with specially formulated pigments, and uses a lighter ink dilution with grayscale ink for gray hair. The clinic says SMP suits all hair colors, skin tones and ages. There is no real downtime: redness lasts one to three days, minor scabbing settles within days, and final results usually settle within four to six weeks. The clinic says results typically last three to seven years with optional touch-ups, and that color strength averages three or more years. Aftercare includes written instructions and an aftercare kit, avoiding sweating for at least five days and heavy sweating until after day seven, avoiding chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms and tanning beds for 30 days after the final session, gentle shampooing after four days, and SPF 30+ sunscreen, since UV exposure can lighten pigment over time. SMP can be reversed with a Q-switched laser over several sessions.

Hairline design takes head shape, age and personal preference into account, and a book of hairline styles is available. The clinic also runs a 4-day, 32-hour hands-on SMP certification course in Jacksonville for beginners and practicing artists. The course includes work on five SMP machines, a certificate and three months of support from Karen. It costs $3,500 for one person, with a special cash price of $3,000, or $6,000 for two people with a special cash price of $5,000. Financing for SMP procedures is available through United Medical Credit, with loan terms up to 72 months on approved credit and same-as-cash programs for qualified applicants. Applicants declined due to derogatory credit can add a co-signer. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice, and text message cancellations are accepted. Anyone under 18 needs parent or guardian consent. The stated mission is to help clients enhance their appearance and feel more confident.

Pigment and hairline design are matched to each client's natural hair color, skin tone and face shape after a free consultation, with pricing set through a written quote.
