SMP Essex
Scalp micropigmentation for Essex clients.
Chelmsford, Basildon, Southend, Colchester and Brentwood: private one-to-one SMP with Mark in Whitstable, Kent. A free WhatsApp photo quote first, and for early hair loss it can be a single trip.
For Essex clients
A longer drive, so we make it count: a fixed price first, and often just one trip.
Essex has its own SMP and hair tattoo clinics, and the trip to Whitstable is a real journey. The people who make it tell us they wanted one person from the first message to the last session, a price fixed from their photos before they set off, and no surprises on the day.
Mark Terrell has had SMP himself and has 25 years of experience as an artist, trained by Kevin Langley at Team Micro with a Level 4 qualification through Finishing Touches. He treats one client a day, so the clinic is quiet and private.
