Specialty

Operations Manager

What happens when you enquire with Diane Delia, Foli Sim's Operations Manager?

Every east coast enquiry, whether it arrives by phone, email, WhatsApp or the online booking form, lands on Diane's desk in North Melbourne. She wants to know three things: which studio is closer to you, whether you would rather talk in person or by video or phone first, and how you prefer to be contacted. The consultation is free either way, and there is no pressure to book treatment on the spot.

From there Diane Delia, Foli Sim operations manager for the east coast, books you with the artist whose diary fits: Kelly Dawes or Dave Ticconi in Melbourne, Natalie Marie in Sydney. If you would rather start from home, send photos of your hairline and crown and she will organise a photo evaluation, with a quote to follow.

How does Diane plan SMP sessions for clients travelling to Melbourne or Sydney?

Scalp micropigmentation is built over more than one session, with time between visits, and a fair share of east coast clients travel in from regional Victoria, New South Wales or interstate. Because Foli Sim Melbourne operations covers the Double Bay studio in Sydney as well as Flemington Road, Diane can pencil in the whole run of sessions at once rather than one at a time. It helps if you tell her at the outset:

  • Which studio you want to attend.
  • How far you are travelling, and any dates that will not work for you.
  • Whether you have an artist in mind, or would like whoever is free soonest.

Your artist sets the spacing between sessions at the consultation. Diane's job is to make the diary fit that plan, so a client who has taken a day off work and driven in from the country gets the session he came for.

What does Diane do for you after you have booked?

Booking is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. If something comes up between sessions, a question about the aftercare you were given or a date that no longer suits, ring or email the studio and Diane will get it in front of your artist or move the appointment. You deal with one person who knows your file, not a call centre.

If you would like to spread the cost, say so when you book, so the arrangement is in place before your consultation; our scalp micropigmentation payment plans page explains how they work.

SMP is long-lasting rather than fixed for life, and the pigment softens over the years, so when a touch-up is due the booking form has an option for it. Wherever she can, Diane places you with the artist who did the original work. That continuity is what Diane Delia, Foli Sim Operations Manager, brings to clients in Melbourne and Sydney.
