Dedicated to excellence
The Alex James SMP clinic is based in Crawshawbooth, Rossendale — just 15 minutes from Burnley town centre. For anyone in Burnley, Padiham, or the surrounding East Lancashire area looking for scalp micropigmentation, it’s genuinely local.
Robert Cunningham from Burnley found the clinic after his hairdresser recommended PRP hair treatment: “Found this clinic locally — I’m from Burnley. Had 3 sessions over 3 months, happy with the results. Staff really friendly. Will come back in the future when needed.”
Alex James underwent SMP himself before treating clients. That direct personal experience is the reason the results consistently look natural rather than obvious — he knows exactly what a realistic hairline looks like because he has one.

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.

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.

The clinic is 15 minutes from Burnley — one of the closest
specialist SMP clinics available to anyone in East Lancashire.
For Burnley men dealing with male pattern baldness, Alex James
SMP delivers natural, undetectable results. Alex underwent the
treatment himself before ever treating a client — it’s what
makes the difference between results that look real and results
that look done.
For Burnley clients with thinning hair rather than full
baldness, SMP adds coverage and density to areas where the
scalp is showing through — without anyone being able to tell
treatment has been done.
Hair transplant scars are one of Alex’s specialisms. Pigment is
matched precisely to your existing hair to make previous
transplant work completely undetectable.
Dawn’s PRP service is available to Burnley clients where early
hair thinning is the concern and regrowth stimulation is still
viable. Often recommended alongside SMP for the best combined
result.
SMP and PRP treatments tailored specifically for women dealing
with thinning caused by hormonal changes, pregnancy, menopause,
or medical conditions — available to female clients from Burnley
and across East Lancashire.
SMP typically takes 3 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart. The first session establishes the outline, the second builds density, and the third is where the result comes together fully. Alex will talk you through exactly what to expect at your free consultation before anything is agreed.
The clinic is at 538 Burnley Rd, Crawshawbooth — easy access from Burnley via the A682, with parking available on site.
Ready to Transform Your Confidence?
SMP works well for male pattern baldness, receding hairlines, thinning hair, hair transplant scars, and alopecia. Alex will give you an honest assessment at your free consultation — including if he thinks it's not the right solution for your situation.
Typically 4–6 years before a touch-up is needed. The pigment fades gradually and naturally over time.
WhatsApp Alex directly on +447763875362. He handles initial enquiries himself and you'll get a straightforward, honest response.
