Q: Why doesn’t your Experienced training include a machine?

Some tattoo artist and permanent make up artist may already own a machine which is suitable to perform SMP and can bring this machine along with them for training. If you do wish to add a machine to your Experienced training course, we can help with this also.

Q: Can I learn SMP online?

Yes. We’ve worked to ensure that our online training course covers everything which is taught in our in-class training. Our online training schedule is the same as our in-class courses and you will receive the same equipment plus additional equipment for online learning depending on which online training course option you choose. Online SMP training is great for those who are located far away from our locations such as in a different country, it’s also a great option for those who may be limited on time. With online training, the student is able to train at their own pace and retake lessons multiple times if they wish.

We don’t offer accommodation as part of our training package but we do advise on accommodation close to our clinics which you can book directly.

Yes we do. Our staff at our Thailand clinic speak fluent Thai language, and fluent English and understand both languages fully. We also speak Filipino!

Q: Can I pay for training when I arrive on the first day of training?

Unfortunately not. The last thing we would want is to take time out of training whilst processing payments as this wouldn’t be fair on your fellow trainees who are eager to get started. We require that your training balance is settled 14 days prior to training so that we can make the necessary arrangements ready for your arrival.

Q: I want to join your group training but feel a little shy in groups, how can I overcome this?

Our training is delivered in a professional, but relaxed manner. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by your trainer, offered a drink whilst other trainees are arriving and before we start we have a introduction session where we all get to know each other. By the end of our courses, our trainees become friends and stay in touch with one another. We like to make our training a fun and enjoyable experience. We also offer online training which will allow you to learn SMP from the comfort of your own home.

Q: I’ve seen lower cost courses, why should I choose Scalp Culture?

As with anything, there will always be lower cost as well as more expensive options available. When training in an industry which involves permanent changes to your clients appearance, it’s extremely important that you have received the correct training. The SMP industry is currently unregulated meaning that anyone can claim to be a trainer even if they have only just trained themselves, needless to say that, they don’t have the crucial experience behind them to correctly teach SMP. This approach not only harms the SMP industry, but leaves trainees with no confidence to perform treatments therefore wasting their hard earned money. With Scalp Culture you have some of the worlds most experienced trainers and practitioners at your disposal as well as fully accredited training, we have also re-trained many people who have not received the correct training elsewhere. Our online training also provides the same great training at a lower cost than our in-class training.

Q: Will the training differ between your locations or online?

No, our in-class training is the same across all locations and the same training schedule is followed by all of our trainers. Our online training also follows our same great schedule and is as close to the in-class experience as possible.
