Scalp micropigmentation is still a relatively new field, and a lot of the information circulating online is outdated, written by non-practitioners, or lifted from hair-transplant marketing. Gil writes these guides directly from his own client experience — what heals well, what fades unevenly, what a fair price actually looks like in the Los Angeles market, and how to tell a skilled SMP artist from someone who picked up a machine after a weekend course.
