The award goes to….

Winning!

We didn’t leave Nottingham empty-handed though. The judges decided that our website ‘is visually appealing and contains the best overall package, proving to be an effective tool in marketing the business and its services.’ Best website was an award we weren’t expecting but a great validation of the work we put into it and the feedback that our clients give us.

A few weeks before Micropigmentation UK, Simon was at Heathrow for the third Meeting of Minds (MoM) Conference. Organised by Team Micro, formerly known as Scalp Guru, MoM has become a key date in the SMP calendar with technicians and interested parties travelling from all over the world to attend. This year’s conference featured the usual mix of informed debate and presentations on new developments and significant issues.

There is also always a great deal of networking, which you can interpret as drinking and tomfoolery. MoM introduced an awards presentation in 2018 at which we were honoured to take home the trophies for ‘Best Technician UK’, Simon Lane. This year found us placed highest in the UK for our training course, recognised Agata Andrews as one of the industry’s ‘Rising Stars’ and saw Simon Lane collect the ‘Outstanding Contribution’ prize, making him the only person to win ‘Best Technician’ and ‘Outstanding Contribution’.

It’s a hard life, but someone’s got to do it

The awards season had kicked off in Florida with The World Scalp Micropigmentation Training Group’s annual awards. Naturally this was one we all wanted to be at, but we could only spare Wayne to parade around in his Bermuda shorts by the pool. Luckily he’d taken a spare suitcase to haul the magnificent glass trophies all the way back to Solihull. Simon was warded in the ‘UK Artist of The Year’ tussle but shared the glory for ‘UK Company of the Year’ and the gratification in being recognised as the UK’s ‘Best Training Company’ for the second year in a row.

It is always a massive honour to be recognised for our work, particularly when the votes come from our peers and experts in the industry, often world-renowned artists themselves. Scalp Micropigmentation is a treatment that rewards both the practitioner and the recipient with the reactions and gratitude of the latter giving continual benefit, way beyond actual trophies. We’re very fortunate to have both, to be an award winning scalp clinic with hundreds of happy clients. We are grateful for both, thanks for voting for us!
