Skalptec London

If you're looking to do SMP look no further!!!
I have had 2 sessions with Simon and i couldn't be happier.

I have to start by saying Simon is such a great guy really understood my struggle and was really nice to talk to. I walked out feeling like I made a friend.

so....After 5 sessions 2 years ago with another practitioner from another company I was left unhappy as it was patchy and faded after 1 year.

after my first visit of 3hrs with Simon he did more density than the previous woman did in all my 5 visits.
Simon used to be a tattoo artist so he has monster speed using his tools.

I then went to him a few weeks later for a slight top up which he refused to take any payment for.

Simon is soo passionate about his work and clients happiness which is a real rarity.

It's been over a year now and nothing has faded.

Simon I can't thank you enough buddy.

Regards,

I’ve had SMP treatment for over ten years, (when it first started) and I’ve had some bad experiences in the past. I was considering getting my treatment removed due to some bad work done by other practitioners, but when I found Simon at Skalptec his work is beyond any and all expectations. He has left me happier and more confident than I have ever been before and is by far the best practitioner I have ever encountered. If you are considering SMP see Simon, he is the best of the best. I now won’t go to anyone else, because no one else compares. 5*

My experience with Simon started over 4 years ago.I was looking for SMP treatment and after my research I decided to go for consultation with Skalp and Skalptec.First one was with Skalp and same day later on with Simon.I have to say that Skalp was ok but once I met Simon I knew I was gonna go with him.We basically connected straight away.He explained to me in little details what he can do and what results we can achieve and also price was good for me too so I booked my first session and never looked back.Every session was great experience not only with my SMP but because we were on the same page,we could talk for hours about anything and we basically became good mates.
Normally top up is needed every 2-3 years but my head still looks great after nearly 4 years.I probably could wait a little longer but decided to go for top up.
Again beautiful job done by Simon with great fun and overall experience.His work is incredible,he definitely changed my life for better.
If you're thinking of getting SMP treatment Simon is your guy 100% ! just book a consultation and you won't regret :)

Big up my main man Simon! You are a legend, magician and master of your craft.

Simon is on another level, who enhances and brings out the best in you and the way you feel. His work is full of passion, pride, art, attention to detail and pure skill, whilst being so humble. I never met anyone like Simon who is so dedicated to his own work that he will do extra work and time on you to achieve the best version of yourself. His passion is knowing that he has done the best work on you possible. That is so rare to find these days. You are really taken care of from the very first consultation to the final result.

Top, Top man, friend and professional and anyone thinking of getting SMP go to Simon, it will be the best decision you've made.

"It's not for me or you to decide your shade, it's your hair that decides"

First thing to know about Simon. He literally won’t let you botch your own treatment! If you haven’t done any research on SMP yet, start by looking up some botched SMP to understand how important it is to find the right artist!

As I just quoted him, he doesn't decide what shade your ink should be and neither do you. He carefully analyses the situation over the course of 5-6 sessions and 2 or more months (practically unheard of in the SMP world!) to understand what your existing hair and his ink is telling him. This is important as your ink will always fade in between sessions and by how much, will very much depend on your own individual body chemistry.
This unusual number of sessions by industry standards, guarantees the best possible outcome by allowing the ink to settle over time, working the shade over the course of a couple of months (or longer) and multiple sessions, meticulously adjusting the shade to ensure your treatment is as natural as possible, blending perfectly with your existing hair.

If you’ve seen the majority of big named (and small) SMP companies who will offer you 2-3 sessions over 3 weeks, you might begin to realise the difference. Are 2-3 sessions over such a short period of time really enough to evaluate a client’s individual situation?

I’ve noticed a lot of other companies are basically factories, producing as many results as possible to maximize profits while producing suboptimal results like the dreaded helmet head, too dark (or light), too dense or dots that are too big. It’s risky stuff if you choose the wrong artist considering you’ll be permanently affected by bad SMP treatment.

But with Simon, there’s no risk. His methodology and how he operates his business is what I appreciated the most. It’s basically failsafe, ensures success with little regard for his own profit margins.

Impression size is a probably the most important element in the treatment and this is where Simon shines! Seriously, make sure you examine this closely when you’re browsing an artist’s work. A lot of companies are using bigger needles in the industry which can speed up the process but can’t necessarily replicate hair in its shaved down state leading to larger impressions. Simon refuses to follow this trend. Simon is incredibly skilful when creating impressions to ensure they actually replicate a real shaved hair follicle by using the right needle size, right pressure, right depth.

By the way, it’s kind of mind blowing that someone so competent and offering more sessions can be significantly cheaper than his competition.

Simon is truly a great SMP technician. I had a consultation with Simon in July and could see that he was the man for the job, he exuded so much passion and his many years of experience as a tattoo artist was also assuring. He encouraged me to have a consultation elsewhere prior to taking the plunge and I did indeed do so, but ultimately decided that it was unlikely that i'd be approached with the same enthusiasm as Simon would elsewhere.

He has done a great job and really does go the extra mile! No cutting corners, Simon always takes his time and strives for perfection. He is also very friendly, reassuring and accommodating. I started to look forward to going for my SMP sessions with Simon and am somewhat sad that they have come to an end, the time always flies in his studio!

All in all, highly recommended. I am not easily pleased and I can always tell if someone genuinely strives to deliver the highest quality possible in work that they do. Simon clearly puts his heart into what he does. Many thanks!

I work in a public facing job and needed my SMP to be the best. I scoured the internet and had many consultations with many companies and then I met Simon from Skalptec London. I knew instantly he was the right man for the job and I haven’t regretted my decision.
I’ve just completed my SMP sessions with Simon and every time I look in the mirror I think ‘wow’, the job he has done is amazing.
Simon is so friendly, he talks you through every step of the way and makes you feel and look your best. I think his biggest asset is his attention to detail as he works so hard to get the right look that suits you. He is very professional and loves his work you can tell he is a craftsman. I cannot recommend this guy highly enough and if you’re a bit uncertain whether to get it done or not, speak to Simon he is a true artist.

Simon certainly deserves his excellent reputation. He is very experienced, very professional and very passionate about what he does. I really enjoyed my trips to Hadley Wood and was actually sorry when they came to an end! Do get in touch with him if you have any questions. He ll be able to give you all the information and reassurance you need. SMP is an amazing thing, and if you choose to do it with Simon, you will be in very capable hands!
