The latest reviews
I had my original scalp micropigmentation done by Kelly at the North Melbourne clinic back in 2022, and I’ve been so happy with the results. It made my hair look noticeably thicker right away, and over the years, I’ve had so many people comment on how great and natural it looks. I’m back with Kelly for a touch-up now, and the service and attention to detail are just as top-tier as the first time. Highly recommend Kelly and the Foli Sim team if you're thinking about getting SMP done.
I want to give huge recognition to Shannon for the amazing work and care put in throughout my sessions. Shannon is a true artist with an incredible eye for detail. His professionalism, precision, and reassuring manner made the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Shannon and the team at Foli Sim if you are considering SMP.
Had an amazing experience with Nat at the Sydney studio. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Nat is an absolute perfectionist, and the results speak for themselves—everything looks incredibly natural and perfectly tailored to me. Exceptional service from start to finish. For anyone looking for top-tier results, Foli Sim and Nat are the ultimate choice.
Thanks Kelly for a good job done on my SMP. Absolutely recommend Foli Sim. It is a professional service. Kelly is great artist & a nice human being. I wish her all the best for a good life & fulfilling career.
I cannot rate foli sim high enough, Tara did my hair and she absolutely smashed it, not only did we have good banter and laughs while the sessions were going my results speak for themselves! This has changed my life, my confidence!! I’m embarrassed by the before photos, but I can’t not post this to show some female results for Tara ♥️
I underwent a hair transplant that resulted in visible scars on my scalp, and over time, the transplanted hair began to fall out. Subsequently, I chose to shave my head, but the scars from the transplant were prominent, which diminished my confidence. After careful consideration, I contacted Folisim to explore their solutions for my baldness and scarring. Tara and Micheal was my point of contact and thoroughly explained the procedure, including how the scars would be concealed and the results I could expect. She was very patient and supportive throughout the process. As I traveled from a regional town to undergo my SMP treatment, Tara and Michael, were exceptionally accommodating. After the first session, I noticed a significant boost in my confidence as the visible scars on my scalp were effectively masked, giving the appearance of a freshly shaved head with a full head of hair. By the third session, I was amazed to see my original hairline restored so naturally that my colleagues began asking why I was shaving my hair when it appeared so thick and dense. This outcome reflects the high quality of the work Tara provided, which significantly increased my confidence. Had I been aware of Folisim and the SMP procedure earlier, I would have opted against a hair transplant. Overall, I highly recommend Folisim to anyone considering SMP without hesitation.
I had a touch-up session with Kelly while Dave was away for surgery, and I'm really happy with the experience! I've had previous SMP work done by Dave and have been very happy with the results. Kelly did a fantastic job building on that work, carefully touching up the areas that needed attention and improving the overall density and blending while keeping everything looking natural. Kelly was warm, friendly and easy to chat to throughout the session, which made the couple of hours fly by. We ended up talking about everything from family life to fitness and meal preparations 😆, and she made the whole appointment very comfortable. Most importantly, she took great care with my SMP. She carefully touched up the areas that needed attention, improved the overall density and blending, and respected the work that had already been done. The result still looks natural, which was exactly what I wanted. You can tell Kelly genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I'm really grateful for the time and attention she put into my treatment. A big thank you to Kelly for the care and attention she put into my treatment, and wishing Dave a smooth recovery from surgery as well. Highly recommended. 🙌
Amazing work by Tara – highly recommend! I first got my SMP done at Foli Sim a few years back and recently returned for a touch-up with Tara. Really happy with the results. Tara clearly knows what she's doing and genuinely cares about getting it right. The whole process was easy from start to finish — friendly team, smooth booking, and no fuss on the day. If you're thinking about SMP, I'd definitely recommend Tara and the Foli Sim team!
I recently had SMP done at Foli Sim, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Nat did an amazing job she is incredibly talented and professional. The outcome looks very natural, and it has given me a huge boost in confidence. Nat was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and skill really show in the final result. I highly recommend Foli Sim and Nat to anyone considering SMP. Thank you for such a great experience!
I honestly couldn’t be happier with my SMP journey with Tara. The results are incredibly realistic and have completely changed the way I feel about myself. After 6 sessions, the transformation has been life changing. Tara is professional, talented, patient and genuinely cares about getting the best result possible. Every session felt comfortable and I always trusted the process. If you’re considering SMP, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tara. One of the best decisions I’ve made. Thank you Tara 🙏
This is life changing! My confidence has skyrocketed. No longer wearing hats to hide under. Kelly is an absolute artist! Her attention to detail, symmetry, instinct and caring nature resulted in a very natural and flattering effect, far exceeding my expectations. The experience was easy, comfortable, affordable and exciting. Thrilled I took this step! Highly recommend and encourage to consult with Kelly for outstanding results.
Dave did my SMP and did a fantastic job. He tailored my SMP to my skin and hair colour, individualising my result so well. He is a top guy, easy to talk to and I had every confidence in him and his work, love the result.
Kate is an incredibly gifted artist. Her work is thorough and attentive and she goes above and beyond to make sure your final results are absolutely perfect. If you are hesitant to commit to SMP to help you with your confidence, see Kate. Your journey with Foli Sim will not only be confidence boosting, it will be life-changing.
Completed my SMP with Kelly, I ensured to do my research before completing the procedure and Foli Sim ticked all the boxes. Great price in comparison to other places and can't recommend Kelly enough, with almost a decade of experience in the field, my first session nerves and concerns quickly subsided as she answered all my queries with professionalism and confidence. Super happy with the results. Thanks again!
Just completed my SMP over 4 sessions at FoliSim and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Natalie was professional, friendly, and made the whole process comfortable from start to finish. Everything was clearly explained along the way, and each session built perfectly on the last. The attention to detail really shows in the final outcome — it looks very natural and has made a huge difference to my confidence. Highly recommend FoliSim anyone considering SMP.
Went in to have a density treatment as I have had multiple cysts removed from my head over the years which have left scaring and gave the illusion of some balding or thinner areas. As I have long hair and am not going bald those patches were a big self confidence issue for me. Natalie did a fantastic job and now whenever my hair gets wet or oily those patches where the scaring is are no longer visible. It simply looks like an even coverage of hair. So whether you are going completely bald or just want to thicken up the look of your already existing hair, I’d highly recommend doing this. Great service. Fantastic results and my confidence has improved greatly. And the good thing is you can always go back for a touch up if needed. Male or female. Smp is so simple and so realistic, thanks Nat and all the staff :)
I had an amazing experience with Foli Sim and Nat in Sydney. I was extremely worried and concerned prior to my first session. I became more relaxed once the second session healed and the third session brought everything together. My advise to all of you is to trust the process and to wait for the final session. Nat is extremely experienced and professional and will make you feel comfortable and answer any questions you might have. The 12 months warranty post last SMP session, is a true proof that Foli Sim is extremely trustful and they know their trade. After my last session which occurred few weeks ago, and after seeing the final results, my only regret is that I haven't contacted Foli Sim earlier and done the procedure few years ago. I highly recommend Nat at Double Bay and I am extremely grateful for all the support received. Thank you, Nat.

A conversation between a Foli Sim client and the artist who treated him — unscripted, filmed after treatment was complete. For more, the Google reviews above are written independently by clients across Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
Frequently asked questions
Google is the main independent source — Foli Sim holds a 5.0 rating from over 700 reviews there, and each studio has its own listing so you can read feedback specific to Perth, Sydney or Melbourne. The reviews shown on this page are pulled live from those Google listings and refreshed as new ones are left, so you are reading the same independent feedback rather than a hand-picked selection.
Google reviews are tied to a Google account and are published and moderated by Google, not by us — we cannot edit, delete or reorder them. That independence is the point. What we can do is respond publicly, which is itself worth reading: how a clinic answers a critical review tells you more about how it handles problems than a wall of five-star ratings does.
Recurring themes in client feedback are the consultation being unhurried and free of pressure, knowing what to expect before any pigment was applied, and the confidence shift afterwards being larger than anticipated. The summary near the top of this page counts these themes straight from the reviews. Many clients describe having lived with hair loss for years before finding SMP, which is a common starting point rather than an unusual one.
No. The filmed client story on this page is a conversation between a client and the artist who treated him, rather than a piece to camera from a script. Clients agree to be filmed only after their treatment is complete. If something in it raises a question for you, ask about it directly at your own consultation.
We are sometimes able to arrange this, subject to a past client's willingness and their privacy — we never share client details without explicit consent. The more immediate options are the client video on this page and the public Google reviews for each studio. If speaking to someone directly matters to you, raise it during your consultation and we will see what is possible.
Yes — the reviews on this page can be filtered to Perth, Sydney or Melbourne, so you can read feedback from clients at the studio nearest you, and each studio also carries its own independent Google listing. If you want feedback on a particular artist rather than a particular city, ask us and we can point you to relevant examples.
The consistent report is that SMP is uncomfortable in places rather than genuinely painful, and less intense than a conventional tattoo. Sensitivity varies across the scalp — the temples and hairline are usually felt more than the crown. Nobody can promise you will feel nothing, and we would be wary of any clinic that did. Your artist will talk through comfort before you start.
What clients most often describe is people noticing that they look different without identifying why — remarks about looking well or younger rather than questions about a treatment. Because coverage is usually built gradually across sessions, the change appears progressive rather than sudden. Some clients tell everyone; others say nothing. Both are entirely workable.
Most reviews are written after the full series of sessions is complete and the scalp has settled, which is the point at which a client can fairly judge the result. Reviews written after a single session tend to describe the experience of the appointment rather than the outcome. When reading any SMP clinic's reviews, it is worth noting which stage the reviewer was at.
Public reviews on Google are outside our control, so any critical feedback left there stays there and we respond to it. Internally, our artists stay in contact with clients through the treatment series precisely so that concerns surface early, while they can still be adjusted — and completed treatments carry a 12-month guarantee from the date of the final session.
Clients who came to us for scar work generally describe the outcome in terms of no longer thinking about the scar rather than the scar having vanished. That framing is realistic: pigment reduces the contrast between scar tissue and surrounding scalp so it stops drawing the eye. Results vary with the scar's texture and age, which is why these cases are always assessed in person first.
The most useful place is the Google listing for the studio that treated you, which is where prospective clients look. Naming your artist and describing your hair loss pattern helps other men judge whether your experience is relevant to theirs. If you would rather raise something privately first, email info@folisim.com.au or call 1300 668 490 — we would always prefer to hear about a concern directly.
