What is a Hair Tattoo?
A hair tattoo, also known as SMP, is a non-surgical treatment that uses tiny dots of pigment to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. It’s ideal if you’re dealing with hair loss, thinning areas, or scalp scars. While similar to a tattoo, SMP uses special pigments applied more gently, creating a natural, subtle look that matches your own hair color and scalp tone.

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During Your Consultation
When you come in for your hair tattoo session at Zang SMP, you’ll immediately feel at ease. First, you’ll speak with your SMP technician about your goals, hair loss concerns, and the look you’re hoping to achieve. Together, you’ll create a personalized treatment plan, including pigment shades and hairline style.
During Your Treatment Sessions
During the session, your Zang SMP technician gently applies tiny dots (very precise pigment impressions) onto your scalp. Most clients describe the feeling as tiny pinpricks—but very manageable.
Afterward
Sessions typically last 2 to 4 hours, depending on your needs. Throughout the appointment, you can relax, listen to music, or chat with your technician. Afterward, you’ll leave with immediate results of a buzz cut/shaved appearance and clear instructions on how to care for your newly refreshed look.
You’ll notice the biggest impact after 2 to 3 sessions, spaced about 1 to 2 weeks apart. Your scalp will heal quickly, leaving you with a naturally restored appearance.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from SMP usually last between 3 to 5 years. Over time, the pigments can fade slightly, but touch-up sessions every few years help maintain your fresh, natural appearance.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most clients need about 2 to 3 SMP scalp tattoo sessions to get their ideal look. Each session builds upon the last, adding density and refining your hairline. You'll typically space these appointments about 1 to 2 weeks apart.
Is SMP Painful?
SMP is generally very manageable for clients. It's similar to getting a tattoo, but it’s typically less intense because the pigments don’t go as deep into your skin. Unlike traditional tattoos, SMP needles are extremely small and precise, so discomfort is minimal throughout the procedure.
Maintenance Tips
Your Zang SMP technician will provide you with instructions on how to maintain your hair tattoo following treatment, which typically includes:
- Moisturize your scalp regularly to keep your skin healthy
- Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure; wear hats or SPF protection outdoors
- Avoid chlorinated pools and saunas immediately after treatments
- Schedule touch-up sessions every few years to maintain the natural appearance
- Follow aftercare instructions closely for lasting results
