UNIQUE TO STEVEY G. TRAINING
SKIN ANATOMY
Learning what goes on in the skin before, during and after the procedure is crucial to SMP . Understanding that the skin is a living canvas, and how to manipulate that and work with the body’s natural processes helps you become the best artist possible.
COLOR THEORY
This is possibly one of the most important parts of class and is totally unique to our curriculum. Learn the two sides of SMP pigment theory- the dilution method and color method. This is unique to our training and will teach you how to treat every case that comes to your practice. Learn how pigment is created and how to use it to your advantage- creating a permanent or less than permanent result. Match follicles perfectly on any skin tone as well as perfect blends for longer hair clients.
HAIRLINE CREATION

This will help you understand your movements as well as what is happening when you are entering the skin. Understand the reasons why you like or dislike a machine so that you can find your perfect fit.
This is a common topic left out in most trainings. Understanding your tools is extremely important. After working with Microbeau doing product development since 2018 Steven has an in depth understanding on the tools, we use for SMP procedures from machines, needles, power supplies and pigments.
