Michelle Stehle

Michelle Stehle is the Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) specialist here at Yours Truly. She is an internationally recognized artist having trained and performed SMP treatments in the US, EU, UK, and Egypt. Her dedication for the craft stemmed from her 20+ year background in hairstyling and custom wig/hair system design. SMP is a non-invasive treatment that creates the illusion of natural looking hair follicles by placing pigment in the epidermis of the scalp. SMP treatments can provide the appearance of more density in thinning hair or imitate a refined buzz cut, it can camouflage surgery or trauma scars, and it can permanently replace messy topical hair fibers. Additionally, SMP is an excellent option for those who have alopecia and it can also complement other hair loss procedures like PRP. ​

If you are interested in seeing what SMP can do for you, please book a consultation below under the category "Hair Restoration'' and choose which type of consultation works for you.

Michelle specializes in Scalp Micropigmentation, Scar Rejuvenation and Hyper Realism Nano Brows.
