Serving Stanford from our Palo Alto studio
The Stanford campus community is a short 5–10 minute drive east across El Camino Real from our Palo Alto studio at 935 Emerson St. Our Stanford book includes Stanford faculty across the schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Business; Stanford Health Care physicians and surgeons; Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and Stanford Research Park biotech operators; graduate students and postdocs from the professional schools; and Stanford alumni who moved back to the Peninsula. Common Stanford client conversations are hairline restoration for camera-facing academic and press appearances, hair-transplant scar camouflage for clients who had FUE or FUT surgery at Stanford or elsewhere, alopecia areata and alopecia totalis pigment coverage for the medical dermatology community's referrals, and scientifically-informed conversations about pigment particle size, healing biology, and long-term fading. Because the Stanford community tends to research thoroughly, consultations are longer and cover the biology and technique honestly. The private one-client-at-a-time format is especially important for Stanford Medicine physicians and Stanford faculty whose colleagues would be the last people they'd want to run into in a waiting room.

Stanford SMP — FAQ
Do you work with Stanford Medicine physicians and Stanford Health Care staff?+
Yes — Stanford Medicine physicians, surgeons, residents, and Stanford Health Care staff are a regular part of the Palo Alto book. The private studio and by-appointment format matter for the discretion physicians typically want.
How far is the studio from Stanford campus?+
About 5–10 minutes — a straight shot east across El Camino Real from campus to 935 Emerson St in downtown Palo Alto. Walkable from parts of the Stanford Faculty Housing and College Terrace areas.
Do you get referrals from Stanford dermatology or Stanford's hair-loss clinic?+
We work with several Peninsula dermatology and hair-restoration practitioners who refer patients for scar camouflage, alopecia coverage, and post-transplant density work. Ask at your consultation if you'd like to know which referring physicians are in the network.
How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?+
Pricing depends on the degree of hair loss and the number of sessions, so we give you an exact quote at your free consultation — no surprises.
How many sessions will I need?+
Most results take 2–4 sessions spaced a week or two apart, building density gradually so it heals natural.
Will it look natural?+
That's the whole point — every impression is matched to your real follicle size, your skin tone, and a hairline mapped to your face.
