(Buzzing) (whimsical music) - Hi, I'm Matt Iulo, I'm the founder here at Scalp Micro USA. This is a type of tattooing, it's really classified
as micropigmentation, or cosmetic tattooing, okay. There are some key difference between what we do and what you
know your tattoo artist at the local shop would do. One, we don't go as deep into the skin.

This is to avoid migration over time. We use a specialized pigment that is diluted accordingly
to match the client's hair tone and skin tone. So today we're gonna be
starting a first session for our client. It's an exciting day
for him as it is for us.

We'll be doing some hairline work as well as density work
throughout the scalp. So the fun part is really in the design and the artwork of the hairline, making sure it's perfect for our client. And then we'll spend about
an hour and half, two hours, filling in follicle by
follicle throughout the scalp to start bringing back that color to make it look as if
his hair was never gone. - My name is Keith Lawrence, I'm here to do scalp micropigmentation.

I felt like my hair was receding,
or it was getting light. I felt like I just didn't
like the whole bald look. I hope by doing this I can bring back the confidence a little swagger that you would have just by having hair.  Yeah - Excited about your
first session right now? - Yes sir.

- [Matt] Okay well today
what we're gonna do is we're gonna start by cutting
the hair a little shorter. How do you usually wear the hair? - About this height sometimes. Or even a little bit shorter. - Yeah, I'm gonna cut it
down just so I can make sure I can get it to all the areas that need to be treated for you.

And then we'll discuss hairline. Do you have an idea of the
style that you're after with the hairline? - More of a natural hairline. Not straight edge and sharp, but you know a natural. - Right, not too boxed out.

- [Keith] Yeah. - So let me see the head real quick. For today, the big part is
gonna be restoring the hairline. Gonna bring the back in.

And also fill in a little
bit of where you're thinning in the back part. So we can cover this whole area for you. Alright man, you ready to do this? - Ready. - Alright, let's go.

- Let's do it. (Dramatic music) - So what I'm gonna do now is kind of draw it based off
what you were telling me. And then we can modify it after you look if there's any changes
you want to it, okay. I don't have to do much, this is just really to blend and we can stop kind of around that area.

- Okay. - And let it just naturally
blend into your sideburn. And this is what I'll be
poking your head with . - Okay.

(Buzzing) - Feels like a regular haircut with the barbers using a
T-liner to line your head up. I mean, getting a tattoo is worse. I guess it's kind of
teary eyed a little bit. - Alright my man, you are finished.

Check it out. - Looks good, looks good. It looks real good. It looks really good.

I'm looking at it and I'm like wow like it just, it looks like my hair, like I just, like you
really just can't tell. Definitely like a new man. Wow, man. This brought me back to life.

Very much. Brought me back to life..
