Question 1

What is Cosmetic Hair Camouflage (CHC)?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic Hair Camouflage or CHC is a cosmetic tattoo that is applied within the hairline. Special cosmetic inks are added to client's heads, giving the illusion of hair where there is none, or just adding an illusion of more density to areas that do have hair.

Question 2

What makes our needles different than others?

Accepted Answer

There are a variety of factors that lead to people getting this procedure done and then having all the time, money and potential physical discomfort be for absolutely nothing.  No one wants to go through everything only to have it all fade a few months later.  We use a very specific needle that allows our inks to become semi permanent, lasting for years.  The most important factor that makes us unique is we use a needle half the size of our competitors to keep the dots extra small. Its more work for us, but its a more natural look.

Question 3

Do we use typical tattoo Inks?

Accepted Answer

Our inks are organic pigments that will allows us to match your hair color needs whether you have darker or lighter hair color. We use a brown toned Ink, unlike most competitors who use a grey wash ink. The differences are noticeable over time. The brown inks have a warm natural hue to it, and the grey wash have a cold blue hue.

Question 4

How long do the results lasts?

Accepted Answer

The results are semi permanent. Like a tattoo, it can fade to a certain degree over time and will need touch ups every 1-3 years.  Some people will tell you it can last 5 years but unless they are using black tattoo ink (which you wouldn't want to use), that is not likely.

Question 5

Who is suitable for this kind of procedure?

Accepted Answer

Anyone.  I don’t care what your skin color or your gender, this is a non-invasive procedure that anyone can have to improve they’re appearance.

Question 6

Payment Options?

Accepted Answer

We accept Credit, Cash, Paypal, Cash App, Venmo and Zelle.

Question 7

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

I’m so tired of all these companies out there saying there is no pain.  It’s ridiculous.  Every person is different.  There are some people who have less nerves on the scalp and they just feel a minor little prick from the work being done, but this isn’t everyone.  Most people suffer a moderate discomfort.  There are definitely some people who are more sensitive and they do indeed feel more.  I was personally one of those people, so I try to be empathetic.

Question 8

What to expect after a procedure?

Accepted Answer

After the work is done, your scalp will look red.  Because the ink is so fresh and the extra redness, your scalp will appear quite dark compared to your actual complexion.  If you are darker skinned it wont be so noticeable.  After 2-4 days the redness will vanish but the ink will still appear a bit darker than the actual settled color.  It will take a few weeks for the inks true color to settle.  Whatever you see right after the procedure, assume the actual color to be about 25% lighter.  This is true for anyone doing this sort of work.  After a few weeks the color and redness are at optimal results and you will have a very hard time distinguishing between where you actual hair begins and the ink ends.  Some ink will be rejected by the skin.  Your skin can absorb some ink or can push out some ink during the healing process.  This is very common and 30% of the ink can vanish.  This is why we offer multiple session in our price.

Question 9

Satisfaction guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

I personally have been through this ride of trying to correct all the hair surgeries I had when I was younger.  I can’t begin to tell you the levels of disappointment I’ve experienced along the journey.  Having gone through it all, I am very aware how much something like this means to us men and women losing our hair.  I have a guarantee like no other.  You will never be unhappy with the work we do.  I will work with you to make sure you feel like the new person you deserve.

Question 10

What is the Maintenance?

Accepted Answer

The only thing I highly recommend is that you use sun screen when you go out in the sun for long durations.  Like any tattoo, extended sunlight exposure can cause the ink to lighten up.  You'll notice the ink lighten over years so I usually recommend clients come in every other year for a touch up.

Question 11

Is CHC just another name for SMP

Accepted Answer

David never liked the traditional name of SMP which stands for Scalp Micropigmentation.  He never liked the word "scalp" and when he tells people what he does, they don't intuitively understand what it is.  He made a decision to rename his procedure Cosmetic Hair Camouflage or CHC to help with offering better clarity with his future plans to make this procedure more mainstream.
