(2) TREATMENT

2.1 The SMP treatment is the choice of the client and the client alone and the client agrees to any actions or conducts reasonably necessary to perform the treatment.

2.2 The SMP treatment involves the use of pigments applied under the epidermis layer of the skin The SMP treatment is semi-permanent in nature and although the treatment can be reversed, the success of any reversal procedure is not guaranteed. The viability of laser treatment for SMP reversal can vary depending on skin tone and the strength of pigment used.

2.3 While we have never come across a single case of an allergic reaction to our pigment, allergic reactions can occur. We can carry out a patch test to determine the likelihood of developing an allergic reaction to our pigment if required or requested.

2.4 The client understands that there may be discomfort associated with the treatment, other side effects are as detailed on the consent form and may include but are not limited to slight bleeding, redness, discoloration, or swelling.

2.5 For best results, the client must comply with our written aftercare instructions, in case these instructions have not been followed the warranty for the treatment is voided.

2.6 Before each treatment, Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. will provide an estimate as to how long the treatment will take. Due to numerous variables, these sessions may be shorter or longer than estimated and the client understands that no guarantee can be given to how many sessions are needed.

2.7 Different skin tones and textures can “accept” the pigment more readily than others and for this reason, some clients will require more sessions than others. Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. cannot give any guarantee as to the number of sessions needed to complete treatment for any one individual client. “Complete” treatment refers to the originally agreed position of the hairline and requested intensity, but not alterations (see paragraph 3.1). Should additional sessions be required to achieve optimum results for the client that fall outside of the “average” treatment time, Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. will not be liable for costs arising to the client for attending additional sessions, including (but not exclusive to) travel costs, accommodation costs, any economic costs to the client relating to the time taken off work or loss of potential earnings.

2.8 Fading of pigment is likely to occur over time and periodic retouches may be necessary. Due to differences in hair texture and skin tone, Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. can give no guarantee as to the duration of the treatment and the number of retouches that may be necessary.

2.9 Scar camouflage with SMP is performed to minimize the appearance of the scar. The client understands that Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. can give no guarantee as to the visibility of the scar following SMP treatment and that scar tissue will accept pigment differently to normal skin, some irregularities can be visible in the scar area after treatment.

2.10 SMP treatment is designed to give the illusion of short or shaved hair, however it does not give the feel and/or texture of hair. When working with longer hair it does not sit on top of the scalp and while with longer hair it can help reduce contrasts between hair and scalp color it can not give the same 3D density as fibres that sit on top of existing hair.

2.11 Sessions in excess of those covered by the guarantee or for that work that deviates from what was originally agreed to (as stated in section 3) will be charged at our hourly rate of $100 per hour.

2.12 The minimum hourly fee is one hour. If the session exceeds one hour, a second hour will be charged. For every hour that is exceeded, an additional hourly rate will be charged.
“Hourly rate” is defined as the time consultation with your technician begins and includes preparation time for the pre-treatment examination, discussion and planning time with the technician and preparation time for the application and efficacy of anesthetic cream (if applicable).

2.13 The person or persons carrying out the treatment have undertaken training under the supervision of a treatment practitioner. Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. cannot guarantee continued treatment with a specific technician.

2.14 The technician will make a professional judgement about when the work is considered “complete”, that is when the completed work cannot be improved upon by additional sessions. Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. reserves the right to refuse further treatment regardless of it being within the warranty time, this is done only with the best interest of the client in mind.

2.15 In the unlikely event that removal of the Scalp Micro Pigmentation is requested, the client shall be liable for all costs related to the applicable removal treatment. At this time Kani Gordon Hair Group does not provide removal services. We recommend the REMOVERY ATLANTA CENTER.

2.16 Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. reserves the right to cancel the procedure in the interest of client safety in such cases where the client is deemed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In such an event, the non-refundable deposit will be retained as a cancellation charge.

2.17 Working on the scalp when it is dry or with flaking skin can potentially compromise the results for the client. Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. reserves the right to cancel the session in such cases where it is deemed the results will be compromised due to the condition of the client’s scalp. In such cases, the non-refundable deposit will be retained as a cancellation charge.

2.18 The non-refundable deposit will be retained as a cancellation charge if it is deemed that the client has failed to disclose known medical conditions or other possible contra-indications to treatment to Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. in advance of their treatment that subsequently result in the cancellation of their treatment in the interest of client safety.

2.19 Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. reserves the right to review and modify pricing and/or recommendations in such cases where pricing and/or recommendations have been given based solely on a photographic evaluation. If a client’s session is cancelled due to the client wishing to discontinue with treatment following a change to pricing and/or recommendations, the
non-refundable deposit will be retained as a cancellation charge.

(3) GUARANTEE

3.1 The client agrees with the design and the positioning of the hairline and the expected outcome prior to commencement. By the second treatment, the position of the hairline as well as intensity of color can be modified, but any changes to the hairline or color intensity after that time will be charged separately. (see paragraph 2.11 and 2.12).

3.2 In the case of scar camouflage work, due to the thickened and unpredictable nature of scar tissue, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimum results. Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. will perform up to 3 sessions within the quoted price with a complimentary bonus session as needed). If the technician deems that further improvement on the results can be achieved with additional sessions, an hourly rate will be applied (see paragraph 2.11 and 2.12) to treatment sessions exceeding the 3 inclusive sessions.

3.3 Should fading occur after the treatment is considered complete, the Kani Gordon Hair Group will carry out 1 bonus session. The evaluation should ideally be in person with a technician to determine whether additional treatment is required. If the client is unable to attend in person, the clinic will make a remote evaluation only when provided with high resolution photographs. In the case where photographs are not of good enough quality or prove inconclusive, a personal appointment will be required for the evaluation.

If additional treatment is deemed necessary, the session will be scheduled for a later date. If the technician deems that no additional treatment is required, Kani Gordon Hair Group, Inc. reserves the right to refuse to perform further treatment at that time and if within the terms of the guarantee will arrange a subsequent evaluation. Any additional treatment required after the top up will be payable at our hourly rate.
