SMP Institute Graduate
"I attended the SMP Institute July 2018. During the training, Leah Matsch, had me shadow her with a GLI client. The advanced training course was very useful - great tips and tricks that I had never learned previously."
SMP Institute Graduate
"I recently finished the SMP Institute at Good Look Ink in MN. I was extremely impressed with the in depth training Leah Matsch provided. She literally covered every aspect of scalp micropigmentation as well as giving many tricks of the trade that she has learned over the years. I highly recommend SMP Institute if you are looking for the most thorough training within the industry. I myself have been to several other so called "SMP Training Schools" and none came even close to SMP Institute."
