Dedicated to excellence
The Alex James SMP clinic is based in Crawshawbooth, Rossendale — approximately 30 minutes from Rochdale town centre. For anyone in Rochdale or the surrounding Greater Manchester area considering scalp micropigmentation, it’s a short and straightforward journey.
Alex James underwent SMP himself before treating clients. That personal experience is what separates the results — he understands the process from the inside, which is why the hairlines he creates look natural rather than artificial. It’s reflected in 226 consecutive five-star Google reviews with no one-star ratings.
Clients travel significantly further than Rochdale for Alex’s work — from Yorkshire, Bradford, Ireland, and Scotland. One client from South Yorkshire said: “We travelled an hour and a half to see them — and would happily do so again.” A 30-minute drive from Rochdale 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.

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 Rochdale. Here’s
what Rochdale clients regularly travel to Rossendale for:
Full head SMP for male pattern baldness at any stage. 3 sessions,
2–3 weeks apart. Results that look like a freshly shaved head
with a natural hairline.
SMP for clients who still have hair but visible thinning or
scalp showing through.
Concealment of hair transplant scarring with precisely matched
pigmentation.
Dawn’s PRP service for early-stage thinning where regrowth
stimulation is still viable.
SMP and PRP treatments for women from Rochdale and Greater
Manchester dealing with thinning caused by hormonal changes,
pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions. Tailored
specifically for female hair loss — not a one-size-fits-all
approach.
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 Rochdale.
