Dedicated to excellence
The Manchester area has no shortage of SMP clinics. So why do clients consistently travel 45 minutes out to Rossendale?
The honest answer is Alex himself. He underwent scalp micropigmentation before he ever performed it on a client. That’s not a marketing angle — it’s the reason his results look different. He knows exactly what a natural hairline should look like because he’s been through the process, the uncertainty, and the transformation himself.
Christopher Lowe, who came from the Manchester area, put it simply: “To anybody considering SMP, who’s looking for a professional service close to Manchester, I would absolutely recommend Alex James. I’ve just recently had mine completed over 3 sessions and the results are fantastic.”
Another client, who had been put off by the idea of SMP looking artificial, described the result after his third session: “The density, the outline, the shape it gave my face… it all just clicked. It looked completely natural — exactly what I’d asked for. If you’re on the fence like I was, my advice is simple: just go for it. You’ll only wish you’d done it sooner.”
That’s the consistent theme across 226 five-star reviews. Not just good results — results that look like they were never done at all.
We have more than 210 Google Reviews from satisfied clients and counting.

Our comprehensive PRP package stimulates natural hair follicle regeneration and strengthens existing hair. Following detailed consultation and scalp analysis, we determine if you’re an ideal candidate for this powerful treatment.
Women experiencing thinning due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions can achieve remarkable results with our tailored SMP and PRP treatments designed specifically for female hair loss patterns.
Scalp micropigmentation at Alex James SMP typically takes 3 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Each session builds on the last — the first establishes the outline and initial density, the second adds depth, and the third session is where everything comes together.
That progression matters. Rushing the process produces results that look obviously done. Taking the time between sessions lets the pigment settle, lets you get used to the change, and gives Alex the opportunity to fine-tune at each stage.
The clinic is based at 538 Burnley Rd, Crawshawbooth, Rossendale — roughly 45 minutes from Manchester city centre via the M66. Parking is available directly at the clinic. Most Manchester clients are in and out within 2–3 hours per session.
Ready to Transform Your Confidence?
SMP works well for:
— Male pattern baldness at any stage
— Thinning hair where density is the concern
— Receding hairlines
— Hair transplant scars
— Alopecia
SMP may not be suitable if you have certain skin conditions, active scalp issues, or unrealistic expectations about the outcome. Alex will tell you honestly during your free consultation if it's not the right solution for you. That's not something every clinic offers.
SMP is a long-term solution, not a permanent one. Results typically last 4–6 years before a touch-up is needed, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare. Many clients go longer. The pigment fades naturally and gradually — it doesn't change colour or look patchy.
That's something you can only judge for yourself, but the consistent answer from clients who've made the trip is yes. Several clients travel significantly further — from Yorkshire, Bradford, Ireland, and Scotland — specifically because of Alex's reputation for natural results. A 45-minute drive from Manchester is one of the shorter journeys clients make.
Yes. Free consultations are available in-person at the Rossendale clinic, where you'll also see Alex's own SMP results. This is probably the most useful thing you can do before deciding — seeing the work in person is very different from looking at photos online.
Pricing is the same regardless of where you travel from. Receding hairline SMP starts from £1,250, full head coverage from £1,550. There are no hidden fees, no consultation charges, and 0% finance is available over 4 months. Full pricing is on the pricing page.
Yes — paying across sessions is the most popular option. You pay for each session as you go rather than everything upfront.
WhatsApp is the preferred way to get in touch. Alex handles initial enquiries directly. You'll get a response quickly and an honest assessment of whether SMP is right for your situation before you commit to anything.
