What You'll Learn

Inside the 2-hour masterclass

01
The Opportunity
Why scalp micropigmentation is one of the fastest-growing skills in beauty, who's paying for it, and the real earning potential — where a single client can pay $2,500–$3,500.
02
The Craft
The fundamentals behind natural, undetectable results — needle depth, pigment selection, and hairline design — and the mistakes that separate amateurs from artists.
03
Who You'll Serve
The clients who need you most — men with hair loss, women with thinning, alopecia and cancer survivors, and transplant-scar camouflage — and how to change their lives.
04
The Business
How to turn the skill into income — pricing, finding clients, and building it into a full career or a high-earning side income, on your schedule.
05
Your Path to Certification
How our hands-on 6-week certification works and how to get started — plus a live Q&A where we answer your questions in real time.

You Want Freedom & Income
You're after a side income or a full business you control — your own hours, your own clients, doing work that genuinely changes lives.
The Opportunity

One of the best careers you've never heard of

Scalp micropigmentation sits at the intersection of artistry, income, and genuinely changing lives. Here's why people are building careers around it.

01
$2,500–$3,500 Per Client
SMP is a premium service. A handful of clients a month can replace — or far exceed — a full-time income.
02
One Client Pays for the Course
The math is rare in any industry: a single completed client can cover your entire certification investment.
03
Work For Yourself
Set your own hours, your own prices, and your own pace — a full business or a high-earning side income.
04
In-Demand & Recession-Resistant
Hair loss isn't going anywhere. Demand keeps growing, and skilled artists are in short supply.
05
You Change Lives
Alopecia, cancer survivors, men and women who've hidden for years — you give people their confidence back.
06
No Degree Required
No college, no license-heavy path. With the right training, you can start a new career in weeks, not years.
Student Reviews

What our students say about us

★★★★★

I completed an SMP training with Rodger and Jennelle and it was incredibly rewarding. Well-structured — covering skin anatomy, color theory, needle techniques, and aftercare — with hands-on practice that left me prepared to perform SMP safely and effectively. It even covered building a client base and running an SMP business, and the post-training support is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in this field.

I took a scalp micropigmentation training course with Jennelle and Rodger at SMP Ink in Danville. Their skills are simply amazing — such talented artists — and their teaching is phenomenal. They're patient, easy to understand, and make sure you're fully confident and competent before they certify you. If you're looking to take SMP training, Jennelle and Rodger are up there with the best in the USA. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Is the masterclass really free?
Yes — 100% free. It's a live 2-hour class where we teach the real craft and business of scalp micropigmentation. At the end we'll share how our certification works for those who want to take it further, but you'll get genuine value whether or not you ever enroll.
When is it and how long does it run?
We go live every Wednesday at 6:00 PM PT on Zoom, and the class runs about two hours including a live Q&A. Once you register, you'll get the link and reminders so you don't miss it.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Many of our students come from completely different fields — veterans, career-changers, and beauty pros alike. The class is built to make sense whether or not you've ever held a machine.
Is it live, or a pre-recorded video?
It's live and interactive — you can ask Jennelle and Rodger questions in real time. Because it's live, you can ask Jennelle and Rodger your questions directly and get real-time answers — something a recording can never replace.
How much can I actually earn doing SMP?
SMP is a premium service — a single client commonly pays $2,500–$3,500. We'll break down the real numbers in class: pricing, clients per week, and what a part-time or full-time SMP business can realistically earn.
Do I have to be in the Bay Area?
No — the masterclass is online and open to anyone, anywhere. Our students come from all over. All you need is a free Zoom connection and two hours.
