What our students say
Uber Hair2025-09-21 After doing loads of research on SMP training providers, I was truly happy that I invested in the Inkd SMP course provided by Ana James. I completed the online course components before then making the trip from Central Queensland to Melbourne for the hands-on education. The online modules gave me a thorough understanding of equipments, supplies, techniques & results. Then the 4 days hands-on in the Melbourne studio cemented everything to have me feeling confident & ready to start offering this fantastic treatment to clients in our region. Special mention also to Corey & Orliath for making us (students) feel welcome in your space & freely sharing so many of your skills + tried-and-tested tips. Hayley Pinel Über Hair Gladstone Q David McIntyre2025-08-23 I recently had my SMP treatment done at Inkd SMP and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the moment I walked in, the space felt incredibly welcoming and relaxed, more like stepping into a calming studio than a clinic. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating an environment where clients feel at ease. The entire team was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and I felt completely taken care of throughout. Special shoutout to Orlaith, who was absolutely brilliant. Her attention to detail, skill, and professionalism were top-tier, and she genuinely made the experience feel personal. I had full confidence in her hands, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re considering SMP, I can't recommend Inkd SMP highly enough. Edie2025-08-22 Wow! If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning, this is the answer. I had never heard of this before but it has been life changing! It makes a huge difference in how your hair looks. Kenny was fantastic - she is so talented and such a beautiful, genuine person. Great experience and great results. Joe K2025-08-22 I highly recommend the Inkd SMP online training. It’s very thorough and well written. The assignments you have to email in are amazing and really give you some good hands on practice with fake skin and melons. Looking forward to doing my in person training with the team next month! Well done AJ and crew! 🫰🏼 Jamie Nardone2025-08-21 I had a great experience with AJ from start to finish. She was professional, welcoming, and made the whole process comfortable. The results came out incredibly natural, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend AJ, she knows what she is doing! Jaryd Day2025-08-06 I had an incredible experience working with Orlaith, She took the time to know exactly how I wanted it done, listening carefully to every detail and ensuring the final result was perfect. The dedication and skill were unmatched, and I would not have gone anywhere else for this. She did an amazing job, exceeding all my expectations! Michael Duncan2025-08-03 ⸻ I recently had SMP appointments with Orlaith, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, she was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. Throughout the sessions, Orlaith paid incredible attention to detail and took the time to make sure everything was done to perfection. The final result looks so natural—it’s given me a huge boost in confidence. I’ve had so many compliments already, and people are genuinely surprised to hear it’s SMP! I highly recommend Orlaith to anyone considering SMP. She’s truly talented and passionate about her work. An amazing experience from start to finish. Clancy Standfield2025-07-28 I had my SMP done by AJ in 2023 Just had my first follow up refresh session to blend in some additional hair loss. My hair before SMP was patchy and I wasn’t happy with how it looked. This was the BEST decision !!!! Balding bros - just do it. AJ’s a magician I’ve also sent a friend to see her Aleks Stan2025-07-26 Orla is so incredibly gifted as an SMP Artist, she’s the best going around. Period. Jesse Meyer2025-07-18 Orlaith completed my SMP, she was very thorough, and her attention to detail is unmatched! Would definitely recommend her for your treatment, really happy with my results 🤗
