Thanks Baldy B.!
I'm glad you like the hairline. I really enjoy working with a client designing hairlines that meet their approval and look natural. It's very satisfying too when the client sees a hairline shape re-emerge!
This particular client shaves his head almost daily, and I did advise him that for the SMP to blend properly with his existing hair he would need to shave down even closer (he was buzzing with a 1 guard). After the first pass he realized this too and was happy to do so in order to maintain the look.
As far as scabbing, our needle causes almost no external bleeding as it only penetrates at .05mm so the 3-D scab effect doesn't really happen post treatment and no scabs were present when those pictures were taken. But it is important for potential SMP clients to understand that in order for existing hair and SMP to look most natural the hair must appear like stubble, too.
