Our Scalp Micropigmentation Clinics Across Australia
Foli Sim runs scalp micropigmentation clinics in three Australian cities: Fremantle in Perth, Double Bay in Sydney and North Melbourne. Each studio is health department certified, uses medical-grade equipment and treats clients in private rooms. If none of them is close to you, free phone and video consultations mean you can start the conversation without travelling anywhere.

Three studios across Australia
Perth
At Foli Sim, we specialise in bespoke scalp micropigmentation, also known as SMP or hair tattooing. Our treatments support people experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, or scalp scarring. Every SMP treatment is personalised and delivered with precision by experienced industry professionals.

Why do our scalp micropigmentation clinics work the same way in every city?
Foli Sim's scalp micropigmentation clinics in Australia are one team, founded by Kate Dawes and Michael Dawes in 2011. Kate is an IAT-registered trichologist with more than 30 years' experience, and Tara Scrivener and Shannon Over in Perth both trained under her. The same way of working applies at Double Bay and North Melbourne.
That means the same sequence wherever you walk in: a consultation that reads the pattern of your hair loss before anyone talks design, a hairline drawn for your face and age, pigment tone matched to your hair and skin, and aftercare advice that does not change with the postcode. Choosing between the studios is a question of convenience, not quality.

Which SMP clinic in Perth, Sydney or Melbourne should you choose?
Search for SMP near me and you will find plenty of names. The better question is who will hold the needle. Here is who you meet at each Foli Sim studio.
- Perth, in Fremantle: Kate Dawes, Tara Scrivener and Shannon Over. The natural choice across Western Australia.
- Sydney, in Double Bay: Natalie Marie. Serves New South Wales, the ACT and Queensland.
- Melbourne, in North Melbourne: Kelly Dawes and Dave Ticconi. Closest for Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
Each city page introduces its artists in more detail, which is the fairest basis for comparing scalp micropigmentation clinics anywhere in Australia.

How does a video consultation work if no studio is near you?
Video suits scalp micropigmentation clinics in Australia because most of a first consultation is about what you want to see in the mirror, not what an artist needs to touch. Take the call in daylight, keep the camera at hairline height, and have photos ready of the front, top and crown, plus one from before the recession started.
Your written quote follows the call, and the same photos can become a free digital SMP mock-up if you want a preview first. Treatment is booked as separate sessions with time between them, so a client flying in to an SMP clinic in Perth, Sydney or Melbourne plans either one longer stay or a return trip; tell us which suits you when you book.

Frequently asked questions
We have three studios:
- Perth: Level 1, Suite 2/135 High Street Mall, Fremantle WA 6160
- Sydney: 14 Transvaal Ave, Double Bay NSW 2028
- Melbourne: Level 2, Suite 221/55 Flemington Road, North Melbourne VIC 3051
All three are staffed by experienced SMP artists and offer free, no-obligation consultations. Call 1300 668 490 and our team will point you to the nearest one.
If you are in Perth, Sydney or Melbourne, yes, and our studios draw clients from well beyond those metropolitan areas. If you are elsewhere in Australia, you can still get a free phone or video consultation and a written quotation from photos, then plan a trip for treatment. Plenty of our clients travel in, and we group sessions sensibly for people who do.
Usually the one that is easiest for you to reach repeatedly, since a treatment plan involves several visits with healing time in between. All our studios work to the same standards and use the same equipment and pigments. If you have a particular artist in mind, or a specific concern like transplant scarring, tell us when you enquire and we will advise which studio suits.
Talk to us and we will do our best. Continuity matters in SMP: the artist who designs your hairline is the one best placed to build on it, so we generally recommend staying with one studio across a treatment plan. That said, if you are relocating or travelling for work, ring 1300 668 490 and we will work out something practical with the artists involved.
Yes. Every location is certified and approved by the relevant health department, uses medical-grade equipment and specially formulated SMP pigments, and holds industry-standard infection control certification. Treatments are carried out in dedicated private rooms with sterilised instruments and single-use needles, and all our clinics are fully insured. We also provide a 12-month guarantee on completed treatments, from the completion of your 3rd session.
You have options. Free phone and video consultations let an artist assess your situation without you leaving home. If distance makes visiting difficult, send a couple of photos of your hair loss by email, text or WhatsApp and we will provide a written quotation. When it comes to treatment, we can often condense a plan into fewer trips: ask us when you book.
Yes. We offer free consultations in person, by phone or by video, because we believe scalp micropigmentation should be accessible to everyone. During the consultation an artist will assess your eligibility, give an indication of how many sessions you are likely to need, and answer your questions privately. Book online or call 1300 668 490 and we will be in touch within 24 hours.
Look for four things: a genuine track record and reputation in the industry, a substantial before-and-after portfolio of cases like yours, artists with recognised SMP training and infection control certification, and a licensed, hygienic clinic with sterilised instruments and single-use needles. Cosmetic tattooists are not automatically qualified SMP artists: the technique, needles and training differ considerably.
Yes, it applies across all Foli Sim locations. The 12-month guarantee on completed treatments runs from the completion of your 3rd session. It exists because we would rather stand behind the work than leave you to manage an uneven result on your own. Ask your artist to walk you through exactly what it covers before you begin, so there are no surprises later.
Since 2011, around fifteen years of scalp micropigmentation, with more than 10,000 clients treated across our studios. That longevity matters in a field where technique and pigment quality have changed a great deal. Our senior artists are internationally recognised and several have received awards and taught at international conferences and workshops. Our clinics hold a 5.0 rating based on over 700 Google reviews.
Send us photographs of your hair loss by email, WhatsApp or text and we will send a written quotation: no studio visit needed. Free phone and video consultations are also available if you would rather talk it through. Our indicative pricing guide sets out what treatment typically costs by degree of hair loss; your confirmed quote is prepared once we have seen your scalp or your photographs.
Yes. All three studios treat scalp scarring, including FUE and FUT transplant scars, strip and plug scarring, and scars from surgery or accidents. Scar work is more technical than standard density work and often needs additional sessions, so mention it when you enquire. That way we can book you with an artist who has the relevant experience and allow enough time in the plan.
