WHAT IS A MORI-TINT?

“Mori” (머리) means head in Korean, and “Tint” means soft shading. This is a refined technique (developed recently)from South Korea designed to create a natural-looking solution for scalp coverage. This procedure is best described as tinting the scalp, also known as Scalp Painting. MORITINT is NOT the same as a scalp tattoo. This is a new technique from South Korea designed to create a natural-looking solution for scalp coverage.

Unlike traditional scalp micropigmentation, the procedure has a different approach in terms of technique, needle type, depth, and application. As a result, clients experience a soft, seamless effect that mimics the look of scalp powder rather than conventional tattooing. While it’s well known in Korea, it’s still gaining recognition in other parts of the world.

What can MORI-TINT do?

Restore hairlines on part-bald & thinning head, camouflage scarring resulting from previous hair transplant surgery, hide scars, burns, and birthmarks, boost the visual effect of a hair transplant & often stimulates the scalp to promote hair growth.

This procedure is NOT suitable for clients who are bald.
