Savvy Academy · Birmingham

Scalp Micropigmentation training.

Training with us is just the start. Once you finish, we keep helping you, from accredited certification to getting your first clients through the door. I keep the groups small on purpose, so you actually leave knowing how to do this properly.

SMP training in Birmingham with Hair Savvy Studio

SMP training in Birmingham.

Once you finish, you can start providing Scalp Micropigmentation treatments as soon as you have everything in place, which we teach you in class. You get discounts on insurance, and an accredited certificate once you complete your model. That certificate is what your insurance provider will ask for.

You also get one free shadow session back at the studio, where you can watch a full treatment or sit in while we work on one of your own clients and pick up further advice. You can book more shadow sessions for an extra cost after you finish.

What You Learn

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

The course covers every part of SMP, from the theory through to running it as a business. Here is what we work through together.

01

Expert Instructors

You learn directly from working SMP specialists with years behind them. Real knowledge, practical insight, and close feedback on every part of the technique, so you progress faster than you would on your own.

02

Comprehensive Curriculum

We cover the lot, from scalp anatomy and pigment science to needle technique and client consultation. You finish with the depth to deliver consistent, high-quality results rather than guesswork.

03

Hands-On Training

Theory matters, but the work is in your hands. You practise on live models under supervision, building muscle memory through mapping, density building and blending until you are ready for real clients.

04

Business Development

Great technique is only half of it. We show you how to price, package and market your services, and how to bring clients in through branding, social media and local outreach.

05

Certification & Support

You leave with an accredited Savvy Academy certificate proving you can work safely and effectively, plus ongoing support, resources and refresher opportunities long after the course ends.

Ready when you are.

How It Runs

From first enquiry to certified artist.

No rush and no hard sell. Most people spend longer deciding than the course itself takes.

01

Get In Touch

You send us a message and we talk through your background, what you want from it, and whether the course is the right fit. We will give you a straight answer either way.

02

Course Days

Two to three intensive days in the studio, kept to small groups. We move through theory, scalp mapping, pigment work and technique with plenty of time on each.

03

Live Model

You complete a full treatment on a live model under supervision. This is the part your certificate is based on, and the part that builds real confidence.

04

Certified & Supported

You leave accredited and insurance ready, with a free shadow session to come back for and ongoing access to us once you start taking on your own clients.

What’s Included

What you actually get.

I run a handful of these a year and keep the groups small on purpose. You get proper time with me, real models, and the kind of feedback that is hard to come by online.

  • Two to three full days of in-person training
  • Small groups, so you actually get attention
  • Live model practice, fully supervised
  • Accredited Savvy Academy certificate
  • One free shadow session after you finish
  • Discounted insurance and a vetted supplier list
  • Ongoing access to me once you start treating clients

Based on a £1,000 starter rate per client, which is roughly what new artists charge while building a portfolio. The UK average sits closer to £1,200, and established artists charge more. What you actually earn depends on where you are based, how you market yourself, and how full your diary is. We will go through the realistic version when you come in.
