How long does the results last?

After completion of your treatment (2-4 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last for many years.

When this occurs they can undergo a brief “touch up” session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.

Yes, clients with gray hair can still benefit from the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure. First, most clients are recommended to cut their hair to a short buzzed length. When this is done, gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, we use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.
