Alex James SMP Reviews

What an amazing and friendly person Alex is he made me feel comfortable and relaxed And he's given me my confidence back

I was a bit sceptical at first that this would work, my bald patch is hardly noticeable now, and I had lost a lot of hair on my crown, I had 3 sessions and a 4th one free of charge, I have to say Dawn is a lovely lady and she made me feel so at ease, she has done a fantastic job and I would highly recommend anyone to have this treatment who has lost a lot of hair, thanks Dawn

I completed my SMP training course in person with Alex James and Dawn. As a visual learner it was the perfect balance of practical training, the theory was not overwhelming, the 1:1 support was fantastic, I would highly recommend to others. Thank you both for all your support 😍 1

Can’t fault Alex James SMP, from the moment I first enquired to completion he has been brilliant. He put me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism. Enquired at a couple of places but this place is definitely the best in the north west. Took 4 sessions, each improving and laying foundation for the finished look which I am delighted with and friends complement me on. Don’t worrying about it, be best decision you make. Get booked in😂

After several months of research and a few exchanged emails into Smp training I took the plunge and booked on the beginners course with Alex. I was sent plenty of pre course information and useful links which made the first day of training not feel as if I was going in totally blind. Really enjoyed the 3 days with Alex and his team there was lots of information given and , shared experiences of the profession as well as practical work. Cant wait to move forward with my gained knowledge into the field of scalp micropigmentation. Would totally recommend this training course and trainer. Thanks Alex james academy

Recently took Alex’s training course for SMP and cannot recommended this enough to anyone looking for a career change I was highly sceptical at first stepping into a total new industry for me, but the confidence and knowledge gained on the course made it all worth while. Can’t thank himself and Dawn enough!

Great training with Alex and Dawn who were welcoming and supportive. The environment is a great place to train. The course information and online videos are comprehensive and the on going support and information to refer back to is fantastic! Thank you! 😊

Alex James SMP has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. I love my new look and would recommend anyone doing this. Alex is a genuine person who made me feel comfortable from the minute I met him. True professional! Thanks Alex. Graham

I did a 3 day smp training course with Alex and it was absolutely amazing, I came away fully qualified and fully confident I could make a career out of this treatment, thank you!

Just wanted to say a massive 'Thank You' to Dawn and Alex for a fantastic training day. I attended the course slightly nervous but they soon put me at ease and made it a relaxed enjoyable day. They have given me the knowledge and confidence to complete treatments on my clients. I would highly recommend them for anyone thinking of completing a course. X

I did my level 4 laser tattoo removal course with Dawn and Alex. They made it a calm experience as I have no previous experience in this field. We had plenty of practice on live models which set us up to have the confidence to take what we learnt and use it straight away. If you are considering taking any of the training they offer I’d highly recommend going to them. I travelled from the other end of the country and it was well worth it. I’ll definitely go back when ready to do my next course.

From the moment I step through the door, I was professional looked after by Alex & Dawn. With every session I was well cared for and after care brilliant. I had an amazing results, and couldn’t thank them enough. I would highly recommend 10/10

Great experience, a bit nervous at first but upon meeting Alex I was easily put at ease with the expertise and professionalism he had . Alex slowly went through all sessions with me ,what to expect and the do's and don'ts between each procedure. Alex is very passionate and professional about his work and at no time through the sessions was I worried ,infact, it has definitely changed my life ,gaining more confidence , no more caps ,no more shying away from events . If anyone out there has any hair loss problems the check out the professionalism of Alex James SMP.

Alex James smp..... he is the best at the job he do its been proofe...... ...........

Great result, confidence has grown soo much, it was not a painful experience at all, Dawn was the practitioner and was completely professional and friendly at the same time!! Spacious clean environment, comfortable chair and surroundings, plenty to keep you occupied during the procedure, well recommended


Alex is a truly genuine business owner, who's friendly, approachable.. & above all, honest. We highly encourage any and all potential customers of Alex, to consider him above any.

I dont usually write reviews, BUT THIS TIME I HAD TOO!....I was very skeptical and unsure about going ahead with the micropigmentation procedure. From the very first conversation I had with Alex I was made to feel comfortable and at ease. Despite the fact i have a busy lifestyle and was late to every session, not once did Alex moan and not once did he get annoyed. He took his time during every session to make sure he was happy with his work and that I was happy with what he had done. The place was very clean and kept it very well sanitised. He was very professional, courteous but most importantly he was very friendly. It was the best decision I have ever made and as a result I feel so much for confident in life. I urge anyone who is thinking of going ahead with this procedure to give Alex a call and allow him to change your life for the better. Thank you brother 🙂

Alex is so professional and totally put my mind at ease after me debating for ages whether to go ahead with smp. Alex answered any of my questions with no pushy sales pitch. After the first session I could see the results straight away with the second and third adding the density. A few days after the third session the redness calmed down and the smp softened and blended naturally with my existing hair. I would highly recommend Alex as I am extremely happy with the end results and his service.

After toiling with the idea for many years I decided to take the plunge. Upon the consultation with Alex he made me feel at ease from the start. Love the results and the confidence it’s given me. Would certainly recommend Alex . What a great chap 👍🏼👍🏼

I have had 3/4 PRP sessions with Dawn and I have seen very positive results with the treatment - my hair is fuller and thicker and well on its way to full health. Dawn is incredibly knowledgeable and courteous, making it a point to ensure you are comfortable and well-informed prior to, during and after treatment. Cant recommend enough!!

Friendly, professional and accommodating. From the initial video consultation, he was able to give good advice on how the procedure will go, and patiently answered all of the questions that I had. When we had the SMP sessions, he was kind and reassuring, and this gave me greater confidence of his skills and capabilities. Even after the 3 sessions, he accepted my request for a touch-up work, which shows his commitment to customer satisfaction. In all, highly recommended.

I was fortunate to be able to attend the SMP course at Alex James SMP Academy and the experience from start to finish was incredible. Alex and Dawn are amazing teachers and made everyone feel very welcome and relaxed. The program itself was very easy to understand and by day 2 we were able to start working on the real models. It was also amazing to see how comfortable every client felt on their arrival and during their procedure. Alex and his team always made sure that each client was comfortable and all their questions and needs were met accordingly. I would highly recommend Alex James SMP for training and for the treatment itself. Thank you Alex and Dawn for all your support. All the best .

Found this clinic locally (im from burnley) after my hairdresser recommended prp hair. Had 3 sessions over 3 months.happy with the results. Staff really friendly. Will come back in the future when needed.

I have recently complete an SMP practitioners course at Alex James SMP training. The training was comprehensive, set at the right pace, resulting in the students working on live models completing different styles of SMP work. Having completed the course I feel that I have the right skills set to begin my SMP practitioners journey. I would recommend this course to those considering a career change or enhancing their current skills. I would like to thank Alex and Dawn for their professional outlook, attention to detail and positive attitude.

Alex has done a fantastic job. Top bloke aswel. The Only problem is how many women you will get after getting done. If you’re thinking about getting it! It’s money well spent.

Extremely friendly & informative. Attended for SMP removal to lighten the frontal hairline. Very quick and efficient service, barely felt a thing with regards to pain. Would highly recommend.

Just done my SMP and very satisfied with the result. Service outstanding. He was very professional, very respectful and passionate. Would recommend him to anyone. Delivered details information about the procedure. If you looking for outstanding results, friendly and professional environment look no far he is your guy. Could not ask for more mate. Thank you

Excellent customer service and work carried out by dawn getting me the look i was after

I have just completed my SMP training with Alex. His training is very organised and very well constructed from practicing on fruit and fake skin to supervised live models. Alex helps and encourages you at every step of your progression. He is very honest and trustworthy whose skills surpass all expectations. I would highly recommend anyone booking onto one of his courses. Many thanks Aidan.

Just finished my smp with Alex and I'm really happy with the result. I did months of research before I decided to have smp and eventually decided to go ahead with alex. Felt at ease since the 1st session his experience definitely shows. I'd recommend anybody to use him, without a doubt in safe hands.

I have recently been on a training course and I cannot recommend Alex enough, him and Dawn were very professional, patient and informative. If you are looking into Smp either to learn it or have it done check these out first!

I went to get smp done , I was nervous about it but it was worth it , it was good for me I didn’t have to shave my head off she did very good job recommend her

Training for SMP. Alex and Dawn are both lovely. They give you so much of their knowledge and understanding of the SMP process. The days are utilised well and before you know it, the days done. I've left feeling confident. And happy to take on clients straight away. I've done a few courses in the past where you have to take all the info in, in such a short space of time. Not here. You've got separate days. Allowing you to gain confidence with the needle, before heading back for your final day. Thanks so much guys!!!

Fantastic Training Academy & Clinic - professional, caring & articulate 👌 would definitely recommend!!

I had recently started to notice my hair line and other patches were starting to recede and i would even notice it on photos with a cleanly shaven head. It was starting to play on my mind a lot subconsciously. I toyed with the idea of having micropigmentation but didn’t know whether i could justify the cost or if it felt a little vain in some way, but I finally decided to do it and I am now so happy i decided to do it. It had really brought back my confidence in certain ways. Alex James was very professional and is a descent bloke all around. His set up is great and really does a great job. I can’t recommend the work or him highly enough and if your having doubts my advise would be to get it done you won’t regret it. Thanks James

Completed a one day course doing the laser tattoo removal course with Alex James smp and it was a great experience, I felt super comfortable and they were both super friendly and easy to talk to, I didn’t hesitate to ask any questions and I was reassured. I would definitely recommend

Alex is a great guy, very professional and offers a great service. His studio is brilliant, very clean and modern. He is very good at what he does and I'm made up with the results, I would definitely recommend.

I recently underwent an SMP procedure with Alex James SMP. I am thrilled with the results and it has had a positive impact on my confidence. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. From the moment I walked into Alex James SMP, I felt welcomed and at ease. Alex has a warm and friendly demeanour and immediately made me feel relaxed about the procedure. Alex listened to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that the procedure was tailored to my needs. He explained each step of the process clearly and answered all of my questions, making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout. We enjoyed some good chats which made the time in the chair fly by. Thank you, Alex. See you in a few years' time.

I have recently completed the smp training with Alex. On reflection, the 3 day training experience was well structured with a comfortable learning environment. The trainers are so knowledgeable and helpful to ensure you get the most out of the training. The experience was built up with theory and practice to make sure by the end of it, you left feeling confident of what to do next. Thank you Alex!

Absolutely fantastic course! Attended for the laser removal course which was delivered by both Alex and Dawn. Both of them were so warm and welcoming. The training was planned very well, both are very knowledgable and able to answer all questions. Such a variety of models which gives the people training a variety of hands on skills and experience. Very impressed and would recommend to anybody thinking of getting into the industry. Will be returning in the future to complete the laser hair removal training. Thank you both for an amazing day! ☺️

Amazing course , very informative , friendly and professional, lovely studio would definitely recommend 😀

I work in the Graphic Design industry where attention to detail and image manipulation are key factors in what I do. I therefore approached the idea of smp with some skepticism. My mind was immediately changed when I met Alex, who having undergone the process himself, was superb in putting my mind at rest. The results speak for themselves! Alex carefully guided me through the process and answered all my questions. He is without doubt a true talent in this field, and a top bloke to put your trust in. I am delighted with the result, and cannot recommend Alex enough.

Great service and very knowledgable.I had some density work done with Dawn and the results have been incredible . Would highly recommend without any hesitation !!

Personally best clinic for SMP, Alex has done a great job looking to get fresh detailed results. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing experience with Alex. I have been chatting with him for a couple of years prior to my treatment and nothing was to much trouble answering any questions or concerns I had. Thoroughly professional throughout every visit, constantly keeping me informed between appointments and totally at ease during my procedures. Fantastic result and could not recommended him enough, thank you so much. 😊

I was thinking of having smp after a hair transplant originally. The treatment was done every 2 weeks. I was happy with this time frame and now I have a permanent solution to my hair loss concerns. I would thoroughly recommend having this treatment. Don't think twice. Dawn st Alex james was great throughout and I couldn't be happier

Really good experience. All concerns were allayed prior to any booking made, when I visited and spoke to Dawn who was able to answer all my queries and address any concerns. The procedure itself has minimal pain and has little or no affect on your daily life afterwards. The whole process went smoothly and the aftercare offered was first class. Ultimately Dawn is able to carry out the procedure in a calm manner and makes you feel at ease. I would fully recommend.
