Micro-pigmentation

Scalp micro-pigmentation is basically a permanent, cosmetic makeup. An aesthetic treatment that is considered innovative and contemporary. It works by a series of small pigmented dots being implanted under the outer barrier of the scalp, which are administered by a machine and small needle - much like a tattoo gun, but designed specifically for the head. The end result is a look of a close shaved buzz-cut.

Hair Thickening Spray

Hair thickening sprays work by sticking to existing hairs on the head. Some products add an extra layer to the hair by adhering to the outer layer of the hair shaft, to produce a thicker look. Other products are formulated to lift the outer layer to achieve hair thickening.
