Giving 5 stars is not enough to rate Shelley. I wish Google will let me give her more stars instead. In 2016 I had FUE hair transplant. They took around 4500 hair follicles from the back of my head (the donor area) and implanted them at the front of my head. I was never aware that the hair was harvested will never grow back in the donor area. At first, I did not have any issues, and I was happy with the transplant results. But with time, I started to lose my hair from the front and the crown area of my head. That's when the problem started. It was difficult to get any hair cut without looking funny because any haircut will show a difference in the hair distribution from when they were harvested from my transplant. I thought shaving my head will solve the problem, but it made it worse. My scalp clearly showed the empty hair areas in the donor area which looked ridiculously ugly. At that point, I was depressed and hopeless. No matter what I did, my head will look horrible. Months passed and I was covering my head with a beanie all the time, but my depression got worse when I got hired at a new job and I cannot use the beanie anymore. I felt life was dark and I did not know what to do. I started looking for micropigmentation options. I contacted multiple places and when they saw my head and issues, they told me they will not guarantee that it will blend or look naturally. Until I called Shelley. Shelley was confident that I will be happy with the results and the micropigmentation will blend well with the remaining of my hair and most importantly, it will look natural. So far, I had three sessions with her. I could not be happier with the results. Shelley is professional and helped me gain my self-confidence back. What I loved about her is that she cares and explains every step. She made sure to answer my questions and I was comfortable during the treatment session. As my treatment is still in progress, I will be posting how my hair used to look before the treatment and now. Then I will post a picture of the final results when I am done with the treatment. I am sure sharing my story will help other guys who are struggling the same way I did. read more

I have spent a majority of my life with a tight haircut/buzzed head. I started balding in my early 20s (I'm now in my mid 30s). Shaving my head with a razor was an easy transition for me, but I was still not liking the balding look on the top portion of my head. I don't like that "friar" head look. I felt like I looked much older than what I was. I discovered scalp micropigmentation(smp) just browsing the internet searching google for head tattoos. I did my own research and realized it was important to find the right artist/profesional to use because this is a permanent treatment. I contacted Shelley at SoCal Scalp Pros and came in to her very private studio for a consultation. She was very friendly, informative and respectful. I decided to give her a try and after 3 painless sessions, I am BLOWN AWAY by the results. I no longer have that shiny top, forever long forehead. I now have a natural looking custom hairline that fits me perfectly. She really is an expert at what she does. I would DEFINITELY recommend her to any other dude out there who is bald/going bald. The only REFRET I have is: I wish I would have done it sooner!! Thanks Shelley. read more

I don't ever write reviews but I really feel like people should know how good Shelley is. I went in for an smp procedure and my biggest fear was coming out looking like someone who doesn't know when to stop having plastic surgery. I met with several artists and felt most comfortable with Shelley. When we started I was immediately put as ease with her confidence. She started of with light shading and gradually worked up as my comfort level grew. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and love how it turned out. Even when I tell people it's a "tattoo" they all say the same thing, "it looks so real". Thank you Shelley, you are a true artist and professional. -Jay read more

Shelley is a true artist and it really shows. I've seen unnatural results form others. That was my main concern about doing such a"permanent" process. I did not want it to look like a tattoo on my head. Throughout the scalp micro-pigmentation process she explained how each step would lead to amazing results. The illusion is truly incredible. I look at her work on my head and it is indistinguishable from the natural stubble. Believe me; I look at it in sunlight, fluorescent light, & all other light sources. The bottom line is she is an expert at what she does. Her priority is most importantly that I was and continue to be happy with the results. read more

If you are thinking of having a true professional do permanent makeup on you for the first time then you need to go see Shelley Todd in Vista Ca. I just had permanent eyeliner applied to my upper and lower eyelids and they look fantastic! Shelley was the best choice for my first time experience. She explained every step before and after and was very gentle. Shelley has an artistic hand so the lines are very well done. All after care is explained and I left her business feeling like a new person. My eyes are so much more enhanced by this procedure. Thank you Shelley I truly appreciate your excellent work. read more

Shelley is THE BEST! The first time I talked to her over the phone, she immediately made me feel comfortable, like she really cared about my concerns; but at the same time made my expectations very realistic. I had the privelege of getting my SMP while there were two "trainees" present. Because of that, I learned 1st hand the "why's" of what she was doing. It made me feel like I was a canvas of a great tattoo artist. Having been in the hair style industry, she has really honed her craft artistically. And also, I'm just not a client anymore, but also a friend for life. Thank you, Shelley! read more

I have been going to SHELLEY Todd for my hair cut, style and color for over 15 years. I have followed her to whatever salon she has been at and love her NewU Rejuvenation Center location. A 1-Stop Feel Good Place. I was one of her early clients when she started doing permanent make-up. I was ecstatic with the results. She is meticulous in what she does and makes sure that you are happy with the results. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone searching for a great hairstylist or someone wanting to enhance their natural beauty with permanent make-up that looks very natural! read more

I absolutely love Shelley! SoCal Scalp Pros is a little of a misnomer because she does so much more. I've been going to Shelley for about 10 years now for permanent make-up, mostly my brows, which were thin and nearly non-existent. I hated waking up with a naked face. Shelley fixed that right up. She is a great artist, has a ton of experience, and absolutely knows her line of work. Shelley will make recommendations based on your age and lifestyle, she won't overdo it. Subtle, natural, beautiful enhancements. read more

I have a small scar on the side of my head that made me really insecure and depressed. I literally tried everything in the book to cover it. I felt like it was ruining my life. Somehow I came across this wonderful woman Shelly Todd who did an amazing job and blended it in with my natural hair. I'm so happy with my experience. I'm now living life again like im a new man. I recommend anyone to go to her with similar problems. read more

I had a great experience with Shelley. Shelley tattooed my eyebrows and eyeliner couple years ago and they looked very natural. Just recently she trained a wonderful women and I was the model for eyebrow tattooing. Shelley assisted her with creating an arch and darkening my light eyebrows. The color and shape were so on point. She really made me feel like a million bucks when the work was all done. Great work!!! read more

I was nervous when I entered this dual business, ( men's scalp + women's eyeliner, lips + skin), but Shelley Todd made me feel very comfortable + cozy. She seemed to know what type of music to put on (Tom Jones, Neil Diamond) without any statements from me! I was treated so well, I was smiling when I left. I am awaiting my next appointment for a different touch up! Great customer service, a great artist! read more

Shelley is Amazing!!! Very professional & personable. Great communication. I had eyeliner done. It turned out so good. She really listens to you, so she knows the look you want.

Wow, I was miserable and covering up my alopecia with braids. I did that for 10 years and it wasn't until the disease started affecting my hair line, that I started searching for options. I met Shelly via telephone call and instantly knew she could help me. After the first treatment, I was sold! Now I'm rocking a short cut ! Love you Shelley! read more

Shelley is THE best in the business... professional, patient, talented and affordable! I had my eyebrows done and a beauty mark darkened about 5yrs ago & they still look AMAZING!!! Now I'm ready to go do the eyeliner! oh and did I mention how cute & clean her studio is? Go get yourself a consultation with Shelley....you won't regret it!!!! read more

Shelley is very professional. Her room is immaculate and her hygiene practices are spot on. Shelley did my brows and upper lids. I think the results are great. Extremely natural as requested. I think the only person that can tell I'm tattooed is my eyebrow threader. I am a wimp and Shelley was very gentle and patient with me. read more

I have been getting my permanent eyebrows done by Shelley since 2012. She does an amazing job every time! Very good prices and very gentle while tattooing. Shelley is caring and strives to meet perfection when it comes to having great eyebrows! I will continue to see her and am thankful I found her! read more

Why didn't I do this sooner! I have been shaving my head for many years and loved how it looked when I still had hair. My hair has since faded fast. Thankfully I found a solution (SMP) and an amazing artists. Shelley is incredible and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend her. read more
