Headways offers treatments for receding hairlines, alopecia, scarring, and male pattern baldness with their scalp micropigmentation (SMP). It’s their long-lasting results that drew us in – ones that are most evident in their solid track record.
The key to their long-lasting SMP results is all in the “touch-up” sessions. This process naturally leads to better outcomes since the growth becomes more strictly monitored.
One of the things worth noting about them is that they offer free consultation where they provide a personalized quote based on the customer’s hair loss needs. Knowing this, you can get a good idea of how much the SMP will cost you and what results to expect.
Headways has actually performed numerous cases where they provided SMP to camouflage transplant scars or to add density to the transplanted area. It’s a really strong specialty that not a lot of clinics are skilled at.
However, they don’t collaborate with any hair transplant surgeons in Edmonton, which can be an inconvenience for some. Fortunately, it’s not always likely that you’ll need a hair transplant (still though, it depends on your case).
Finally, we like that Headways includes before and after photos on their website to demonstrate the real results their clients received. This is a plus in our book, and we appreciate that they try to be as transparent as possible about expected outcomes.
Pros
- Provides SMP for cases such as alopecia, scarring, and male pattern baldness
- Free consultation
- Provides personalized quotations
- Offers touch-up visits for SMP
- Solid track record of long-lasting results
Cons
- Closed on weekends

Alberta Micropigmentation Clinic, offers micropigmentation services that improve eyebrows, scalp, and scarring. To specialize in this area, they offer semi-permanent and permanent cosmetic tattooing.
As we expected of a place many lauded to us, their technicians use top-of-the-line equipment and are trained by North America’s leading industry providers. Simply put, they’re certified and geared with the right technology.
This matters because it means they can combine the clinical precision of trained people with the artistic talent required to achieve the most natural results. In our opinion, this is one of the most important qualities of SMP (because who wants unnatural-looking results, anyway?).
Plus, they provide a treatment environment that meets clinical cleanliness and safety standards. This is the bare minimum for all clinics, of course, but they do it in such a way that doesn’t feel intimidating and suffocating.
Now, for their SMP services, AMC uses specially-designed pigments to replicate the hair follicle and camouflage skin imperfections. Based on what we’ve seen from the clients, the appearance this achieves is really impressive.
Still, we believe that there is no standardized procedure for SMP since every case has its own specificities. For that, AMZ customizes each treatment to the client’s individual needs, walking them through the overall process.
The only negative note is their poor management regarding the fees. There have been complaints about their failure to refund deposits when customers cancel their scheduled appointments.
Other than that, they seem pretty amazing overall.
Pros
- Specializes in micropigmentation services
- Top-of-the-line equipment
- Trained by North America’s leading providers in the industry
- High cases of natural-looking results
- Meets clinical cleanliness and safety standards
- Customizes each SMP treatment
Cons
- Issues regarding their refund policy
- Weekdays is by appointment only
Customer Reviews
Pleasing outcome, highly skilled
My husband, Mack had SMP procedure done recently. Mack is very pleased with the outcome. Marlaina is very talented and highly skilled. Mack was really impressed with her professionalism. – Harinder Nijjar
Master of the art, knows what she does
I got Scalp Micro-Pigmentation done from Marlaina. With this job I would have given her more than five stars if there was an option. Just showed her a picture on my phone of what I wanted and in three sessions she made it happen. This is a complete art and she is the master of it. Don’t waste time finding other places as this is the right one for SMP. Very professional and knows what she does. – Asad Tanwir
3. Studio N Beauty

| ADDRESS | 10569 111 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5H 3E8, Canada |
| CONTACT DETAILS | 780-862-2072 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday - Saturday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM |

When it comes to advanced micropigmentation techniques, Studio N Beauty knows the drill. It’s because, in addition to providing the said service, they also offer education to aspiring permanent makeup artists.
With that, the studio is able to hand-pick talented and dedicated artists to carry out their procedures. Permanent make-up is their specialty, but they also offer other cosmetic treatments such as eyelash extensions and lifts – and of course, scalp micropigmentation.
Based on our experience, Studio N Beauty is pretty solid in the consultation process. They seem able to instantly determine which technique is best for each client’s situation, which is why they can accommodate immediate SMP appointment booking
Whether you have thinning hair, a receding hairline, or just want to have your scar camouflaged, they can work with you to create your desired density too. They can work with any hair length as well.
We also appreciate that they can be completely honest when it’s not appropriate to recommend SMP. With this, Studio N Beauty doesn’t give their customers false hope, which, unfortunately, happens a lot across many cosmetics clinics.
Because each SMP case is unique, the studio does not charge a flat rate. The good news is that they can provide a quote during the initial consultation, all based on the customers’ customized treatment.
Pros
- Advanced scalp micropigmentation techniques
- Procedures are carried out by talented artists
- Excellent consultation process
- Accommodate immediate appointment booking
- Able to deal with various hair lengths
- Honest evaluation and solution
Cons
- Closed on Sundays

4. Brau Haus Studio
| Title | Info |
|---|---|
| WEBSITE | https://www.brauhausstudio.com/ |
| ADDRESS | 8927C 82 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6C 0Z2, Canada |
| CONTACT DETAILS | 780-244-BROW (2769) |
| OPERATING HOURS | Tuesday - Saturday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM |

You might know Brau Haus Studio as one of Edmonton’s most popular cosmetic tattoo shops and beauty studios. But they’re actually also good with SMP services, even being able to rival other cosmetic clinics.
All SMP appointments at this studio require a consultation prior to a much better-customized treatment. This is also where they go over all of the pre-care and after-care information, as well as the cost of the procedure.
Regardless of the overall expense, Brau Haus Studio offers a 20% discount to those who have lost their hair due to medical reasons. Obviously, this is a fantastic deal since clients can gain their confidence at a more affordable offer.
The studio has three certified cosmetic tattoo artists on staff, which is enough to cater to many clients. We reckon it’s important to note given that there were a few interested customers who didn’t sign up due to a long waiting list of clients.
Unfortunately, only one of their three employees specializes in scalp micropigmentation. This simply made their SMP inaccessible to more people at the same time, so you really have to time your appointments as early as possible.
Despite this, the good news is that this single staff member is quite impressive in providing personalized SMP procedures, making the long wait worthwhile. You can actually see their work portfolio for yourself on their website.
Overall, amidst minor flaws, Brau Haus Studio remains a good option for SMP. But specifically, you might want to give them a ring for their discounted service for eligible clients.
Pros
- Offers 20% discount to customers ave lost their hair due to medical reasons
- Personalized SMP treatment
- Provides quotation during consultation
- Work portfolio available online
- All appointments are booked online
Cons
- Only one staff specializes in SMP
