I recently had my scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment done by Rico Ruiz with Union Barber in Torrance California and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Rico was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. He took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure I was completely comfortable the entire time.

Just wanted to share my experience with Rico and Union Station. This was a life changer for me with confidence. Before getting the SMP I was a hat wearing guy 24/7 it was like taking my hat off I felt like everyone was looking at my big bald head but after getting SMP I have Big confidence with no Hat. So if your thinking about getting it I highly recommend Rico and Union Station.Thank You!
