I know this is a bold comment, but this guy is the best in the world at this. Fact. Been researching for years and I’ve yet to see anyone’s works anywhere near as realistic as this. Doesn’t help so many people getting in to this field now that shouldn’t and don’t have the eye for detail that Mark has

Just started as a SMP artist and tell you what, this video is golden Hairlines I struggle with due to it being so important etc but this is going to help big time Legend

Finding this video is like finding the Holy Grail! I’m new to SMP and one thing I’ve noticed are arrogant artists free-handing hairlines with no strategy other than their ego. What I’ve noticed with those artists are all of their clients have a hairline that is higher on the left side as if that’s their company’s signature touch. It’s as if their clients don’t deserve an explanation of the method to their madness. This video on the other hand, gives me hope to find an artist who uses a method that mimics nature’s recipe. If I was near, I would go to this guy in a heartbeat.

So nice of you to give out this information for free, here are some notable timestamps: 00:18 Creating an effective SMP hairline requires attention to symmetry, shape, and finish. 01:22 Assessing the client's natural features, such as the forehead muscle, helps determine the starting point for the hairline. 03:13 Using facial thirds helps establish symmetry, ensuring the placement of the hairline aligns with the client's facial features. 06:14 Mapping points in the temple areas and using facial landmarks, like the eye socket, aids in creating a natural-looking side profile for SMP. 13:28 Points 4 and 5 on the side profile are usually set at about 3.5 to 4 cm, maintaining a natural appearance. 15:19 The five-point hairline is used as a guide to create a customized shape, considering the client's preferences, such as a slightly receded look. 18:42 Adjustments are made based on client feedback, and the finalized shape is agreed upon before proceeding with the SMP treatment. 21:30 Using a phone on photo mode helps assess the hairline's overall symmetry and make any necessary adjustments before final approval. 22:45 Documenting the process with photos from different angles allows the client to visualize and understand the created hairline before the SMP treatment begins.

This is gold. Video came in clutch about to do my procedure on a client and needed a review. Much appreciated!

Mark is a MASTER when it comes to Hairline !!! The attention to details is Very impressive. The best in the business!

As a junior SMP tattooer you are my hero. And not only for me. All good SMP artists in Czech republic know your channel and consider you and scalpMicro as a top in the world. Thank you for your lessons. Your 5 point hairline is teached in many SMP courses.

You’re golden! 🤩Thank you for such a detailed video, most ppl don’t even get the knowledge breakdown in training! All hail Creative Scalps 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

7:38 the temple areas… I’d suggest you could have separate content/video/training courses on temples alone. I think even the most experienced artists would benefit from taking a specialist temple forming course / refresher. Just an idea but hopefully useful to you.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Marc, watching from NZ this is really helpful 🙏🏼

Hi mark. Fantastic video that has really helped.🙏🏻 Looking forward to the next instalment

Love it. Great video that's very informative. Well done!

Thank you ~

❤❤❤❤

Fantastic video Marc - hope you see in Dec

I know that SMP will suit me well. The only thing that prevents me from doing so is that I have not found a practitioner that tackles the science of creating the best hairline/most natural looking. I absolutely ADORE how you dissect the method of creating a very natural hairline. My problem is I live in the US and I cannot afford to go to the UK. Any suggestion as to the practitioner here in the US I can go to simulate the same expertise that you have?................Your work is much appreciated

Is it ok if the fading is not completely behind the forehead muscle? It looks like it when you draw the lowest dotted line
