I was over with will for a day watching him work his magic and then I told him any of the things I wanted to brush up on and he really helped me.i left there felling a lot more confident.i liked how he hadn’t got a script that he just went over and instead asked me was there anything I wasn’t sure about and more worked on the stuff I needed his knowledge on and he has no end to knowledge when it comes to SMP.was a pressure learning from him and you couldn’t meet a nicer fella.i will definitely be back over the water again with him in the future to learn more of his techniques

What to expect?

You’ll spend the day with Will, covering everything you need to know about Scalp Micropigmentation.

Shadow days start with a live demo with one of Will’s clients, where you'll see Will's unique technique as he explains to you the 3-stage process. You’ll then break for Lunch (complimentary) and then begin training 1-1 with Will, where you’ll cover the detailed specifics of making your SMP unique. This is usually followed by some Mat work and technique where you will get direct feedback from Will.

You’ll, of course, have time for a Q&A to answer any outstanding questions, and you’ll leave with a Scalp Nation Gift Bag of extras.

This isn’t your standard SMP training. You’ll be getting 1-1 access with one of the UK’s best SMP artists, and experience first hand the entire process…

Nothing is held back; our goal is to provide you with as much value as possible so you can provide your clients with life-changing SMP results.
