jholcollege11 GOOD LOOK INK

Well, since this moron was too busy bashing other companies, he made an enormous mistake. I guess he went to this place and got a real hatchet job. He fell for their used car sales pitch and fake promises, so they told him what he wanted to hear, not what he really needed to hear. Check out his complaint on the BBB site:

There are two extensive complaints here. jholcollege 11 is the one posted on 12/28/12.

There is also a complaint on another forum about this rip off company.

Just wanted to update this particular thread. I did a complete 180 again since I posted that last one. After doing pleanty of online research as well as emails and phone convo's with different providers, I decided on a clinic and am having smp done on May 1st. I am not going with artistry concepts. They are honestly just too sketchy, or shady if you prefer. They seem to be hiding something, and they do not seem like very educated or professional people. If I want a fire breathing dragon or something like that on my back, I may call them, but when it comes to a cosmetic procedure, I HAVE to go with a place that treats clients and potential clients with courtesy and honesty, and one that does not bash all competitors. This type of bashing reveals the true character of a business, and if they are quick to treat their competition this way, I do not want to find out how little they think of the client (although my research has given me a foreshadowing as to what to expect if I went with AC). Good luck to all who decide to have Scalp Micropigmentation done, wherever you choose. From personal investigation though, I would stay far away from Artistry Concepts in Englewood, Florida.

Can you let us know how the results of the procedure went and if you are happy with your new look? Also if you are pleased, will you recommend and name the business/location? Others may benefit from your experience.

Wow! Well best of luck who ever you decided to use. May 1st will be an exciting time.

I used HIS for MHT and it really improved the quality of my life. I wish you the best and enjoy!

No longer considering Artistry Concepts

Leaning towards Artistry Concepts in Florida

So Ive been searching and searching the internet trying to make a decision between Good Look Ink in Minnesota, and Artistry Concepts in Florida. I believe my best option is AC in Florida b/c their pics look amazing and I believe they are the leaders in this field at this time. The replicated follicles AC produces are so tiny that they look real. I find Good Look Ink to be very courteous and professional, but this may very well mean that they are just good salesmen who are only about money and don't care about results, idk. I do know that their pics on the GLI site do not look too good. It seems the replicated follicles are too large and bunched together too close. They almost look like freckles. I hear the two guys that do the procedure in Florida are very talented, but I still wish I had more info. If anyone knows anything about either of these companies, or has had this procedure done or knows someone who has, please comment, I'd really appreciate it. Please no more comments from people with no fact-based information as this does not help me. Having tattoos on your body does not in any way make you an expert in scalp micropigmentation. I have tattoos all over my arms so thanks anyway. Also no more shills please. Thanks guys!

All good points and things to consider. Thank you for the advice.

Hey Delphi, I appreciate your feedback. What are you basing your belief that this will damage scalp,off of? Do you know someone who has had it done and looks bad now or is this your opinion? Im curious to know b/c Im trying to educate myself as best as I can before I can make informed decision? Thanks in advance

I base my opinion on the fact that I have several tattoos and understand how they react over time. They will in time blur and fade. Imagine when that begins to happen on your head. Do you think it will be easy to go back in and fix the blurred dots? It will end up being a big mess. It's not a good idea. I know there are several companies marketing this concept as an alternative to other hair loss treatments, but it makes no sense if you really think about it and understand tattoos.

Getting your head tattooed is such a bad idea. Even it it looks perfect when you have it done, it will not last. It’s much easier to retouch or fix and regular tattoo that has lost color or gets blurry, you will not be able to repair the damage once it is done. These people might be happy in the short term, but they will be very upset in the long run.

Thanks, I will request her. That is one thing I was concerned about-the artist performing the procedure. I have some tats and after 11 years I notice small specks of fading so I see what you're saying. I know it is impractical to think this will last forever without fading, but i only hope that it will provide the illusion of hair for a while before fading occurs. I already shave my head so all i want for my bday is alot more black dots lol, bc i have some but wana fill in gaps. Thanks for the inside info it really helps! Are u planning on getting into that line of work if they expand?

[Freeman@last]

one more thing

I highly recommend Leah as your artist. She is their top one.
Plus I am seriously thinking after I am done with this touch up, looking into opening a franchise locally when they become available.

[Freeman@last]

Yea, Alex is great. Just a young guy who needed it done and happened to be ready to start a new career and was able to move. If you can, talk to the owner. We really bonded because he lived an even worse nightmare and is a musician like me. For some reason I cannot think of his name right now. Darrin the president is a good guy to talk to as well. It is a small crew but they are very personal and proffesional. Yea, my perimeter didnt take ink I think as well as the top of my head probably due to the 15 years of wearing the system. I should have stopped wearing it for longer than I did but with my life it was really not possible. I do believe though now when I do my touch up I will be extremely happy. It is always the same even with regular tattoos which I have. You have to touch up areas later that didnt take or it is really hard to see micro dots when there is redness, swelling, etc. during the tatt process.

Thanks Freeman. Yea I got a shady feel when I called one of the other two places also, and the guy over the phone did not seem very professional, courteous, or interested in helping me learn about their supposed one of a kind process. I talked to HIS and a british guy (operator) made me feel like customer # 2,888,777. I got a really good feel from the goodlook inc guy Alex, and they seem like an actual business as opposed to a tattoo parlor with microscopes and rulers. So did yours fade quickly on the front and the crown area, and if so was it because of the soft tissue damage of a hair transplant?

[Freeman@last]

Happy and can finally drive my car w/ windows down.

I went with GLI. They seemed the most personal and the others a bit shady. I was taken back a bit at first after I inquired about the procedure with several calls but after I committed and got to actually deal with the owner (who had a worse story than mine and had the procedure) I was convinced. It was hard to get used to at first and I do miss my hair but I feel so free now. My problem was from wearing the stupid hairpiece so long I had scarring in a couple of places that left 2 bald spots and they got infected from years of glue. They worked around those areas and they have finally healed up. So now I get to go back for my free touchup in April. I need it mainly in the areas where I had the HT in front and on my crown I dont think it took so well because it was like baby's skin and my whole perimeter is a bit lighter because of it. GLI actually tells me their procedure is not Micropigmentation because it goes deeper and is permenant. My procedure was $4400.
Hope this helps

searching for right mht clinic

Hey Freeman, I am 30 and have been dealing with hair loss eight years. I shave my head and like the look but I need a more full look. Im trying to decide between Goodlook Inc, HIS, and Artistry Conceptions. Did you learn anything about the other two companies when you were at Goodlook, and how long do they say it will be before you need touchups. Thanks in advance
