About

The Bar Aesthetics opened in Pinole in 2018. Its founder, Chakay Smith, came to the beauty industry through lash artistry, moved into permanent makeup in 2016 with a focus on brows, and entered scalp micropigmentation in 2018.

The studio offers a wide range of services under one roof. Scalp micropigmentation is described as a non-surgical treatment that uses pigment to mimic natural hair follicles, and it is offered for thinning hair, receding hairlines, alopecia, advanced hair loss, hair transplant scars and scalp scarring. Most clients complete it over two to three sessions, and the studio says results typically last four to six years or longer, depending on skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure. Consultations for scalp micropigmentation and permanent brows are listed at no charge and take 30 minutes; the permanent brow consultation is available Monday to Friday. Permanent brow work begins with a consultation and a brow mapping session, and a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. Brows typically heal over 10 to 14 days, and a perfecting appointment is recommended six to eight weeks after the first treatment. Permanent brows typically last one to three years, with touch-ups suggested six to ten weeks after the initial service and yearly after that.

Training is offered through The Bar Hair Ink Academy, which runs hands-on scalp micropigmentation courses with live model experience, business education and mentorship. The course is listed at $4,200 and takes 420 minutes. Graduates receive an official SMP certification, a professional training kit and a curriculum guide. The site says beginners are welcome and lists no required age or prior experience.

Arriving 10 to 15 minutes early is recommended. Deposits apply to some bookings: $150 for Combo Brows and Ombre Powder Microshading Brows, $100 for Lip Blush and $25 for Express Custom Cluster Lash Extensions. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000.

Treatments are customized to each client's features, skin, hair and goals, and preparation and healing guidelines are tailored to each service.

The studio describes its space as modern, clean and welcoming.
