Testimonials:
"I had a terrible scar across my head that was a result of
a surgical procedure. It was a thin linear scar that ran from my left ear all
the way over to my right ear. I went to several hair transplant doctors who
frankly stated that they wouldn't be able to correct this condition, without
giving me a transplant scar. Most people who keep their hair short are at an
extreme disadvantage when it comes to (HT's). Black men in particular benefit
greatly from micropigmentation procedures.
I tried all the gimmicks (Topix, Dermamatch etc..) none of which worked as well
as having micropigmentation done. I was lucky to find a practitioner in Atlanta
(Cheryl Rosenblum)who was able to correct my problem. For those of you who
haven't tried this procedure, I urge you to explore it."

"After 3 hair transplants I was left with a distinct and visible scar. I
resorted to spray concealer to camouflage its appearance. One day searching the
internet I found Cheryl's site and went in for an appointment. Today my scar's
appearance is minimized enough that I no longer wear any concealer which affords
me much less maintenance since concealing my scar is no longer part of my daily
routine. The process was fairly simple and healed quickly and the pain
associated with the tattoo process was minimal. I would recommend this to anyone
looking to improve their transplant scar."

"Thank you so much for helping me hide my waffle scars! After several
transplants I was left with unsightly scars. When my hair was wet, these scars
were quite visible, and I had to use hair makeup. I am very happy with the
results and I am no longer using makeup to cover the scars. It took a few
sessions, it healed easy, and was painless with just slight swelling. I would
recommend for any man that is using makeup to cover scars or hide light balding
spots."
Thanks always.

"Just
wanted to update you on my hair shading procedure. I am loving it! No more
makeup that keeps messing up my shirts and pillow cases. It took about 3
procedures buy I have finally eliminated the makeup. The tattoo worked great! I
will tell my mother, she has a balding spot on the side of her head and she can
not wait to get this done. Being African American, the shading works fantastic!
Keep up the great work. My sister is a hair dresser and she can not believe it."

"Thanks so much for checking on me. Everything is looking good and it has been
three years! The waffle scars left from the hair transplants have almost
diminished. I never thought I would be able to shave my head, but thanks to you,
I was able to. I will be back in the states in about 6 months and will let you
take a look."

"It has been 3 sessions and I have almost eliminated makeup from my head. As I
mentioned, I did not have enough donor hair for my hair transplant and although
I love my hair transplant, I still had some light spots that I filled in with
makeup. One more session should do it. I feel so confident, and go without any
makeup 80% of the time!"

"Wow,
I am very pleased and can finally put my hair up! After years of trying to hide
the scars that were left on my head (from my face and brow lift) I can finally
not worry and put my hair up for the holidays! Thank you so much, I can not wait
to show my plastic surgeon. He said that there was nothing that could be done.
Your head shading did not hurt at all, and was not noticeable afterward. Just a
little sore for a day. It has taken 2 sessions and I could put my hair up after
the first session. I will let you check it again after about 6 months, as you
suggested."

2. Does Artistic Hair Simulation look natural?
Answer: Yes,
If a experienced person is doing this, and if you are a candidate. If not, you
can look very unnatural.. Check out their credentials, and make sure that they
have many photos and that the actual person performing the Artistic Hair
Simulation , has years of experience. This is a tattoo, and is not easily
removed.
Back to the top
3. Is this permanent?
Answer: Legally,
we must use the term permanent, which is confusing, because it will fade over
time, unless it is black, which means it will take a longer time to fade. The
lighter colours fade quicker. Areas that have a scar, will fade quicker, because
a scar is not healthy tissue, and does not hold the ink as well as healthy skin.
In order to look more natural, the ink is not implanted as deep as a Traditional
Tattoo, therefore could fade quicker. This is done with very small needles to
achieve a natural look. Ask any good tattoo artist, and they will confirm that:
the lighter colours fade quicker, and may require touch ups. A lot depends on
how you take care of your scalp. All tattoos fade over time.

4. Is this a one time procedure?
Answer: No,
it can take several times depending on what you want to achieve. Some head scars
can reject up to 50% of the ink after the first session. If this is not an area
that has a scar, sessions will be minimal. If a photo is emailed, we can give
you an estimate of how many sessions and what the cost is.
Back to the top
5. How much is this cost?
Answer: Cost
will depend on how many sessions. You can email a photo, and we can discuss your
goals. Once a few questions are answered, we can tell you the cost. This is very
affordable.

6. Will this hurt?
Answer: It
depends on who is doing the procedure. If they are heavy handed, and not
skilled, it can be very painful. When done properly, you will feel very minimal
pain, which will feel like tiny pin pricks. We have a numbing cream available
for those that are sensitive on their scalp. We will do everything possible to
make you comfortable.

7. Do I need to shave my head?
Answer: It depends on what you want to achieve. If you are wanting to
hide a hair transplant scar, or head scar, and are using makeup, there is no
reason to shave your head. If you are looking to hide bald spots and do not have
scars, you would want to shave. If you have had a hair transplant, and wish to
enhance an area, you would not need to shave. It is best to email a photo, or
call to discuss your goals, and we will tell you.

8. I have scars on my head. Can Artistic Hair Shading help? I am wearing a hat
or covering my scar with makeup?
Answer: This
will help make them less noticeable, and you will see an improvement. This can
take several sessions, because scars do not hold the ink the same way as normal
skin.

9. I have scars on my head from a transplant, and I want to shave, can I shave
and look normal again?
Answer: This
is a very difficult choice, and this will depend on how many scars and how bad
these scars are. It can take several sessions to hide. Although some companies
may say that this is not a problem, this has not been our experience. It is best
to email photos, and we will discuss your options. Many men are tired of hiding
the scars, and want to shave their heads. This is fine, but results will vary,
and the amount of sessions will vary. You will normally see a great improvement.
Some scars are harder to cover, but tattooing will make these scars less
noticeable, if done properly. If you email a photo, we can review your personal
situation.

10. Is Artistic Hair
Simulation a tattoo?
Answer: Yes, Artistic Hair Simulation and Artistic Hair Shading is a form
of micro tattooing.. Together, this will give you a natural look for your new
Headstylsm.
Implanting pigment into the skin, by legal definition, is a tattoo, and should
be taken care of like a tattoo, and although it can fade over time, as a tattoo,
by legal definition is considered permanent, even though it can fade over time.

dangerous?
Answer: A talented Artist will know what the proper inks to use are. Some
Cosmetic inks work very well, and some tattoo inks work very well. Some Cosmetic
inks can turn blue or green, and some tattoo inks can look unnatural. It is the
Cosmetic Artist that must be qualified and know what inks and needles, and
machines are appropriate. A good artist will know what is proper to use. We are
trained professionals, and we will determine, which ink is the best for your new

13 .
What will the healing process be like during the first month?
Answer: It can swell the next day, and your head will be very dark for a
few days. After that, it will start peeling and flaking, so you may want to wear
a hat. The flaking can last about a week. Once it flakes , the colour will be
light or hazy. You can tell how it will look in about 4 weeks, and at that time
you can get your second treatment. Peeling is the worst the first time. DO NOT
schedule your treatment during important events. If you are in the entertainment
industry, you can do this a little at a time so that it is not as noticeable
during the healing phase. This is a tattoo, so you will have to follow all after
care.
