David made this image from my original hairline to illustrate what the end result would look like.
Tom M.

I started balding in my late 20's. I let my hair grow and by the time I was in my early 30's, I shaved my head with some friends and made a special event out of it. When I originally saw my new hair grow back, I lost confidence in myself. I became a hat guy. It seems like a petty insecurity, but as someone who is around people constantly for work, it made me uncomfortable to be without some sort of headwear. I have been working in the tattoo industry since 2008 and it always crossed my mind to get my bald head tattooed. In my work travels, I met David Hoffer and was introduced to the world of Scalp Micro Pigmentation, or, SMP. It is the practice of dot work to replicate look of natural hair follicles. I have tried popular hair loss treatments with no success. Genetics got the best of my hairline. But, SMP has always intrigued me. I finally decided to get SMP done to my scalp. And, I did my research. I saw so many situations of other SMP artists who were only practicing SMP for a few months, mixing ink in an unsterile environment, practicing on carpet, or in unsanitary situations. I needed someone with real experience. The person an SMP artist would trust. David Hoffer, the Headliner, is by far the best SMP artists in the world. With 10 years of experience, he has transformed people's scalps into the most natural looking SMP work I have ever seen. And now, I am lucky enough to have his master work on my scalp. My confidence has boosted. My peers treat me with a new air of respect. My wife noticed my confidence boost and it has made our sex life more active. I have been getting comments that I look younger. Overall, it has boosted my confidence, which in turn, gives an extra positive light in my everyday life. The best part is that nobody notices it. It isn't part of a normal conversation, like a tattoo or body modification would. David Hoffer, the Headliner, is such an expert at what he does, that it looks like I just shaved my head. If you are balding, losing hair, thinning, or suffering from any hair conditions, please contact David Hoffer for a consultation. It is worth every penny. He went above and beyond and created an image with what the SMP would look like on my scalp. His shop is comfortable, he is very accommodating and he is just an overall great person. The pain was minor and the healing time was fast in between layering sessions. He is an artist and he works with you to get the best look for you. He uses high quality products, is located in walking distance from the beach and has the best practices to keep his shop and each session very sterile. It has changed my life. Thank you David.

What can I say about David besides great guy! Stands by his work and will make sure you're 100% satisfied with the finish product. All in all, great experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else, that's my guy from now on

I stumbled across a SMP Advertisement on Facebook. The procedure definitely captured my interest! I started to research different companies that performed SMP. I was very lucky to find David at Headliner Ink. The other SMP Professionals spoke highly of David's work. I was told by multiple Companies David was one of the best in the Business. I scheduled a Consultation and proceeded with my first procedure. I've had four procedures and my head looks 100% better than before. I highly recommend using Headliner Ink and David!

Before my first session I was receding in the front and crowning at the back.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Dana in Oct 2020 . She is a professional with hair color , cut…read moreand definitely hair extensions. She is an artist. She has an eye for extensions looking natural and seamless and pretty . I am very picky and a complex person and Dana has Iexceeded my expectations. Give Dana a try you won't be disappointed. .

In a way, I don't want to write this review because this place is a little hidden gem in the world…read moreof hair salons. However, they do deserve to be bragged about!! After many extension consultations, I came to Dana and her cute little salon as my last stop. Other salons were either just not willing to make this a great experience for me, or definitely quoted too many extra services and pricing. After the initial extensions were put in, the stylist's first words were: "Oops, it's a little crooked. If you don't mind it, just try and pull some hair to cover the bald spot." Wait...WHUT?!? You know you screwed up but you want me to be okay with it? Extensions are $$$ & I had saved money so I could do cover my pixie cut as it was growing out. I left the salon because she said she couldn't do anything more that day. Can I tell you, having 6+" of the right side of my shaved head bare because the stylist misjudged where she placed the extensions is not a good look! I texted her within a few hours begging her to fix it and she was very upset that she was going to have to come in the next day on her day off because I was upset. Again, wtf? You goofed and now you're mad because you have to fix it? I was surprised she would want anyone to see her work looking like a disaster. After all, that is for calling card. I let her know I wasn't mad, but I had to beg her to fix it. When I went in the next day, she was frustrated and said she was just going to take them out. She wasn't willing to fix it. I paid how much to install these and she was going to take them out and not bother to fix the problem? Luckily the owner of the salon offered some of her extra tape in extensions. She saw the problem and while trying not to interfere, she offered a solution. That is when I decided to search for a new stylist. Dana responded quickly to my online request. When I arrived at her cute little salon, there was another consult ahead of me. I was listening to Dana discuss that person's needs and she was so professional, super knowledgeable, and accommodating! It immediately put me at ease and in a positive and hopeful mind frame that my situation could be fixed by Dana. As previous stylists pointed out, Dana noted my extensions were a bit messy but she definitely could fix it and make the whole hairstyle look fuller, more normal than it did, and for a fraction of what many other stylists were charging. Dana was not the most expensive, but neither was her quote the least expensive, but right in the middle, but her customer service, level of knowledge, and warm and friendly demeanor puts her way over the top of all the other salons I've been to. Trust me, that was over six salons! Then, the best news was that she could do my hair right there and then! I was the last appointment she had booked and she and her new stylist, Nikki, had time. I was over the moon! I did not have to put up with my funky, mullet looking hair another day. She took apart what I had already installed and added a few more tape ins and my hair looks natural, like it's my own, super cute now, and full volume! Not just a string of hair attached to my head. I am no longer self-conscious about my beads showing and having a thin set of extensions. I cried from sheer Joy as this was how it was supposed to be when I first thought about having extensions. Dana brought my vision to life and it was no more expensive than my first set! In my career, I have high visibility working with donors and large events and I always need to look professional. I'm not shy about telling people I have extensions especially when I have a pixie one day, and 24 hours later I have chin length hair LOL Another awesome addition to this story is Dana also does color so it is going to be a One-Stop shop for me! I know I know, this is a super long review and I edited it down already! But it is important to know I did do my due diligence and research and Dana was by far the most knowledgeable, down to earth, professional, most experienced stylist that I met with. I also referred her to my other stylists up in LA, Hawaii, and Washington for when they have clients who move to Orange County. Dana and Nikki are amazing! I'm embarrassed but I believe I told them I loved them at least five or six times. If you are in the market for new extensions or just maintenance, I honestly say to come straight to Dana and don't bother meeting with all the other salons in the Long Beach area. I've done all the leg work for you! PS if you have never had extensions done, absolutely come to Dana. She listens to what you want, tells you what she can do, and offers so many ideas, suggestions, and solutions. She also knows the best type of extensions for your needs. However, do your research. Extensions are not cheap. Yes, it's like a car payment or half your rent for a month LOL. My photos only show the result of what Dana did. It was too embarrassing to take photos of my before look!

All have been very good experiences but we were so happy to visit Nazy and Bernadette here and finally settle on a great wig. We have looked at synthetic and this was the first real hair option we saw and it was beautiful. Of course virgin hair is more pricey than synthetic but it's a small price to pay if it makes my mom happy and more comfortable through this experience. Bernadette did our consultation and was so kind and helpful. She is very knowledgeable and really helped with this process. She is also able to dye the wig to match my moms hair and they get it prepared before she starts losing her hair. She also offered to have my mom come on to have her head shaved when ready which is a lot less scary than my dad or I doing it (not to mention we would do a terrible job). She has obvious experience and it really made things easy. Nazy greeted us when we were writing up the wig and was also amazing. She is the owner and goes to Europe to source the wig hair. She was very sweet and shared her own story and recommendations with us which was very gracious and comforting. (Not to mention she had gorgeous hair). We checked out 2 wigs and both were beautifully made. The salon was also clean and well designed. The entire experience was really great and it is really nice to work with people who really care about their customers and their products. I would recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a wig and I look forward to going back when my mom needs to. Big thank you to Nazy and Bernadette!

This experience has had a significant negative impact on my life, causing feelings of depression and anxiety. I strongly advise against anyone considering such procedures to think twice and explore other options. First and foremost, the quality of the work done by Dr. meshkin was far from satisfactory. The eyebrow fell short of my expectations, leaving me with unnatural and unattractive results. It is disheartening to see how my appearance has been negatively affected, further exacerbating my emotional distress. Adding to my disappointment, Dr. meskin displayed a lack of empathy and support throughout the entire process. Despite my concerns and requests for assistance, he refused to provide any meaningful help or guidance. This lack of care and professionalism only added to my frustration and overall negative experience. Furthermore, the cost of the procedure was exorbitant, making the subpar results even more unacceptable& it's deceiving that most of the work is done by his assistants they are doing the hair implanting and dr was only doing consultation and made make some incision. Considering the significant financial investment, the outcome has been nothing short of a devastating blow to my confidence and well being. I cannot stress enough how strongly I discourage others from choosing Dr. Meskin for eyebrow and hair transplants. The substandard results, lack of support, and the negative impact on my mental health have made this experience one that I would never wish upon anyone. Save yourself from the emotional and financial burden. Seek alternative options for your aesthetic needs.
