Dedicated to excellence
The Alex James SMP clinic is based in Crawshawbooth, Rossendale — approximately 30 minutes from Blackburn via the A666. For anyone in Blackburn or the surrounding Lancashire area considering scalp micropigmentation, it’s a short and straightforward journey.
Alex James underwent SMP himself before ever treating a single client. It’s what separates his results from the majority — he understands the process, the apprehension, and exactly what a natural outcome looks like, because he’s lived it. That’s reflected in 226 consecutive five-star Google reviews with no one-star ratings.
Clients regularly travel significantly further than Blackburn specifically for Alex’s work — from Yorkshire, Bradford, Scotland, and Ireland. A 30-minute drive from Blackburn puts you among the closer clients he sees.
We have more than 210 Google Reviews from satisfied clients and counting.

It was a fantastic course, we learnt so much! Alex and Dawn were so lovely and put us all at ease. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Jessica LeighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly the most incredible training I've ever received, totally made to feel at ease, we worked hard, laughed and i feel so exited to get started in my laser journey. I've been offered the most amazing after care for this course too which I feel very rare. Thank you Alex and Dawn.Posted on Leon DonnellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Had a really good insightful chat with Dawn about the whole process before booking myself in. Dawn is very professional and easy to talk to, she made everything clear which gave me so much confidence about giving this a go. If you’re having thoughts about PRP treatments then this is definitely the place to go. Results speak for themselves.Posted on MemeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing! I was so nervous taking on a new carer path but both Alex and Dawn were brilliant, you know your there to learn a new skill but you leave feeling confident, knowledgeable and knowing you have support for life. Any queries I've had since have been responded to promptly and being in a group were you can ask questions with others going through the journey is just amazing. Thank you!Posted on Keiron PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had SMP with Alex after years of deliberation. I spent quite a lot of time searching for the right person/practice and I certainly made a great choice. Alex was professional from the first conversations we had and was reassuring throughout. I had 4 sessions in total to get the finished look, which I am really happy with. Alex took his time to progressively build up the SMP over 3 main sessions. Patience is certainly key if you want a realistic and natural looking appearance and I trusted him from the off. The time in between sessions gives the SMP time to settle and also gives you time to get used to the changes and go back with any questions and suggestions for adjustments. Having a natural looking hairline is key and over the sessions Alex did a fantastic job of it. Alex takes great pride in giving people the best possible results and is something of a perfectionist. He also offered great advice on aftercare and hair trimmers, which was very helpful for me on my SMP journey. I will certainly use Alex for any future top up sessions.Posted on Elly BraithwaiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thoroughly enjoyed my training, these guys are unbelievable at what they do. Both Alex and Dawn provided the skills and knowledge throughout the course so brilliantly that I've qualified feeling confident and relaxed. I will definitely be booked other courses in the future.Posted on Lauren KerriganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommended 👌 👍Posted on Sophie DelamereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took part in the laser tattoo removal course and I enjoyed every minute of the training. The whole course was very professional but fun! Alex and his mum were very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had, I’ve come away feeling very confident and can’t wait to get started. I fully recommend this training to anyone looking to get into the laser industry. Lots of love Sophie Clare pmu xPosted on Jamie LyonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with my treatment and the final result.

The clinic is 30 minutes from Blackburn via the A666. Here’s
what Blackburn and Darwen clients regularly make the journey
for:
For Blackburn men dealing with male pattern baldness at any
stage, SMP at Alex James creates results that look natural
rather than obvious. Alex has undergone the treatment himself —
it shows in the quality of the results.
For Blackburn clients with thinning patches rather than full
baldness, SMP adds density where the scalp is visible — the
result looks like naturally thicker hair, not a treatment.
Precise pigment matching to conceal hair transplant scarring —
available to Blackburn clients who’ve had transplant work done
and want the scars made undetectable.
Dawn’s PRP treatment for Blackburn clients where hair thinning
is early-stage and stimulating regrowth is still a viable
option. Can be combined with SMP for a more comprehensive
result.
Tailored SMP and PRP treatments for women from Blackburn and
the surrounding area dealing with hair thinning from hormonal
or medical causes.
SMP takes 3 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart. The first establishes the outline, the second builds density, and the third brings the result together. Alex will walk you through the full process during your free consultation before any commitment is made.
The clinic is at 538 Burnley Rd, Crawshawbooth, Rossendale. Easy access from Blackburn via the A666, with parking available directly at the clinic.
Ready to Transform Your Confidence?
SMP is effective for male pattern baldness, receding hairlines, thinning hair, hair transplant scars, and alopecia. Alex will give you an honest assessment at your free consultation — and will tell you clearly if SMP isn't the right solution for your specific situation.
Typically 4–6 years before a touch-up is needed. The pigment fades naturally and gradually — it doesn't change colour or look patchy over time.
WhatsApp Alex directly on +447763875362. He handles all initial enquiries personally and you'll get a direct, honest response.
