What our students say
Anika Von Bischoffshausen2026-08-22 I recently completed my SMP training with Inked SMP in Melbourne and honestly couldn’t recommend the course enough. The training was incredibly thorough and hands-on, and I walked away feeling genuinely confident in both the theory and practical side of SMP. Everything was explained in so much detail — from pigment and colour theory, needle selection and depth, to hairline design, density work, blending and creating natural, realistic impressions. What I appreciated most was how much care went into actually teaching the technique rather than just rushing through the course. I was able to ask questions, practise properly and understand why we were doing things a certain way, which made such a difference. The whole experience was professional, welcoming and supportive, and I left feeling excited and confident to start offering SMP to my own clients. If you’re considering getting into SMP, I would 100% recommend training with Inked SMP. Such a valuable course and genuinely one of the best investments I’ve made in expanding my skills as an artist. 🤍 Nicholas Blackney2026-08-17 Had a great experience with Taylor at Inkd SMP. Before and after photos only 5 sessions over three months, amazing results with totally new hair growth. Highly recommend. Gajan Sundaram2026-08-06 Ana was amazing to deal with. Very approachable and informative manner. The result she was able to get with 3 sessions was incredible. Couldn’t be happier, highly recommend. Luke Hancocks2026-07-22 I couldn't be happier with my SMP from Orlaith. From the first consultation to the final session, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly skilled. She took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process, and her attention to detail is second to none. The results have exceeded my expectations. It looks so natural, has completely boosted my confidence, and I wish I'd had it done years ago. If you're thinking about getting scalp micropigmentation, I can't recommend Orlaith highly enough. She's a true professional and genuinely cares about achieving the best possible result. Five stars all the way! Ricki Paul2026-07-10 Hi Ann, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you so much for the amazing service you provided today. I’m genuinely so happy with the results looks just incredible. The best compliment came when I got home. Even my wife looked at it and said, “Wow, it looks even better it looks HOT ..That really meant a lot to me ! Thank you not only for your incredible skill and attention to detail but also for making the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable. Your passion for what you do really shows, and I’m truly grateful. Thanks again, Ann. I can’t recommend you highly enough! You are the BEST ! - Rick Derek Q2026-07-07 Just completed a touch up at Inkd with Orlaith, as a long time adopter of SMP I’ve done a few sessions over the years and you don’t want to trust just anyone with your hairline. From initial consult I booked immediately as I could see how passionate the team were about their craft. Stoked with the results and the extra time and attention Orlaith took on the hairline being perfect, if you’re unsure just do it. No regrets. Great studio. 5 stars. Merna2026-07-06 I can’t recommend Anna and the team at Inkd SMP highly enough. From the moment I arrived, Anna made me feel so comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout my training. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She took the time to explain every step in detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident before moving on. The training was very hands-on, professional, and tailored to help me build both my skills and my confidence. What stood out most was how much Anna genuinely wants her students to succeed. Her attention to detail, encouragement and willingness to share her knowledge. If you’re thinking about training in scalp micropigmentation, I wholeheartedly recommend Inkd SMP. Thank you Anna, for such an amazing experience I’m so grateful for everything you taught me and can’t wait to continue my SMP journey Rob2026-06-13 For anyone cosidering SMP I would highly recommend Inkd SMP. I was booked in 2 weeks ago with no delays and upon arrival I felt comfortable and welcome and had all aspects of the procedure explained clearly to. There was hardly any down time and 2 weeks on I am very pleased with the results and have that new feel of confidence. Suzanne Mielnik2026-06-05 Had 3 sessions of hair growth treatments and my head is full of baby hairs… so pleased with the results - was not expecting such a big change - well done Taylor and the team!! 🤩
