Kelly Smith-Forshaw

Restorative Medical Micropigmentation

“Even after 19 years in the industry I still don't regard this as my job, it is my vocation.”

After graduating from college in Hair & Beauty in 1998, Kelly worked for Trendco, Europe’s leading hair loss specialist as their lead stylist.

Having worked with patients with hair loss this led Kelly to explore alternative solutions for her clientele. Kelly’s career in micropigmentation began when she discovered that she could help others by replicating hairs for eyebrows and create definition for eyeliner.

Kelly graduated in Semi-Permanent Makeup in 2004 with leading micropigmentation specialist training school Finishing Touches Group. Furthering her education, she then went on to train and become certified to Level 4 standard in Medical Micropigmentation and Scalp Micropigmentation

Level 4 Scalp Micropigmentation

Kelly’s ultimate passion is the Medical aspect of the industry. Scars, burns, facial feature restoration, vitiligo, skin camouflage, skin resurfacing and areola restoration following mastectomy, are just some of the procedures in Kelly’s remit. Given her passion for Medical micropigmentation, a natural next step was to move into training, where she has been the Head Medical trainer for Finishing Touches Group for over a decade, and has taught thousands of trainees.

Level 4 Scalp Micropigmentation

Kelly loves all aspects of the treatments she provides and is often seen demonstrating, speaking and training others worldwide. She enjoys sharing her knowledge, and helping others so they too can offer these sometimes life changing procedures to their own patients.
