SMP Training Academy

ABOUT THE COURSE

Learn the art of SMP with one of Canada's most experienced and sought out artists : Rob James

Advanced Scalp, in conjunction with Meraki Beauty Bar, offers a comprehensive 4-day intensive SMP certification course, which covers every aspect of the Scalp Micropigmentation business. This course will build the essential skills and confidence you need to succeed in this industry.

Our goal is to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills to confidently produce incredible results for their clients. From initial client consultation to final application, this course will guide you through an entire fail-safe process, step-by-step.

You will learn the exact methodology trainer Rob James uses on a daily basis to garner his ultra-realistic results and his advice on how to run a busy and successful practice.

Training is held at one of two locations throughout the year, Advanced Scalp studios Vancouver and Meraki Beauty Bar Burnaby. The course consists of three days of intensive, practical in-studio work with two live models, plus a fourth “observational” day spent one on one with Rob James in his busy Vancouver clinic.
