First — what is SMP, in plain English?
Most people have never heard of it, so here it is without the jargon: SMP is a non-surgical treatment for hair loss. A specialist places thousands of tiny, natural-looking dots of pigment on your scalp that look exactly like real, closely-shaved hair follicles. Thinning spots, a bald crown, or a receding hairline look full again.
No surgery. No pills. No daily routine. You might have seen it called a “hair tattoo,” “scalp tattoo,” or “hairline tattoo” — same thing. The proper name is Scalp Micropigmentation, or SMP.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone, or take a day off to do it. We’ll come to you for a free evaluation and walk through the whole thing — by appointment, serious inquiries only.
Who the come-to-you service is for
If getting to a clinic is the thing standing between you and doing something about your hair, this is built for you.
Too busy to sit in a clinic
Back-to-back schedule, long commute, or you just can't take half a day off to figure out your options? We bring the consultation to your home or office and work the studio session around your calendar — early mornings, evenings, and weekends included.
Living with a disability or limited mobility
Getting to a clinic isn't simple for everyone. If travel is hard, we come to you for the full consultation — assessment, hairline design, and an exact quote — so the only trip you make is the one that actually changes how your hair looks.
Homebound or recovering
Recovering from surgery, illness, or caring for someone at home? Start the whole process from your living room. We'll plan everything around what you're able to do and when.
Just want it to be easy and private
No waiting room, no clinic small-talk, no pressure. A private, one-on-one conversation about your hair loss on your own turf — then a clear plan if you want to move forward.
How it works — from your couch to a full hairline
We come to you — free evaluation

You get a clear plan and price
You'll know exactly what SMP can do for your case, how many sessions it takes, what it costs, and financing options (Cherry — soft credit check, no impact to your score). No obligation to book.
Your session — private, sterile, around your schedule

Mobile SMP · Frequently Asked
What is SMP, in plain English?+
SMP stands for Scalp Micropigmentation — but forget the name for a second. It's a non-surgical treatment for hair loss. A specialist places thousands of tiny, natural-looking dots of pigment on your scalp that look exactly like real, closely-shaved hair follicles. The result: thinning areas, bald spots, and a receding hairline look full again. No surgery, no pills, no daily routine. People also call it a 'hair tattoo,' 'scalp tattoo,' or 'hairline tattoo.'
Do you really come to me?+
Yes — we bring a free, private hair-loss evaluation to your home or office anywhere in the Bay Area: we assess your hair loss, design your hairline, match tone, and give you an exact quote. It's the part that usually means taking time off and traveling, so we take that off your plate. By appointment, serious inquiries only.
Where does the SMP session itself take place?+
In a private, one-on-one, medical-grade sterile setting, by appointment — that's what keeps the work safe and the result looking natural for years. We bring the free evaluation to you; when you're ready to move forward, we schedule the session around you and any accessibility needs.
I'm disabled or homebound — can you still help me?+
Yes. This service exists partly for exactly that. We bring the entire evaluation to you, and we'll plan everything around your mobility and accessibility needs. Tell us what you need when we talk and we'll make it work.
Is SMP right for my kind of hair loss?+
SMP works for most types of hair loss: male pattern baldness (any stage), a thinning crown, a receding or uneven hairline, women's diffuse thinning, alopecia, and hair-transplant scars. The honest answer for your specific case comes from the consultation — that's what it's for. Request a free quote and Joe V. Nguyen reviews your case personally.
How much does it cost, and is financing available?+
It depends on how much coverage you need — a hairline touch-up starts around $800; full coverage runs higher. You get an exact quote at the consultation, with no surprises. Cherry financing is available (soft credit check, no impact to your score) so you can spread it across monthly payments.
Which studio would my session be at?+
Whichever is closer. San Lorenzo covers the East Bay (Oakland, Hayward, Fremont, Castro Valley, Walnut Creek). Mountain View covers the Peninsula and Silicon Valley (Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Redwood City). We'll sort that out at your consultation.
