Alex is a Scalp Micropigmentation technician and owner of SkalpX Milwaukee, based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He’s been in the SMP industry and providing the service for the past 6 years. His interest in art began at a young age which influenced his love for SMP. At the age of seventeen he became a barber which he did for thirteen years all while doing post-secondary school and hustling. He graduated post-secondary education, no longer wanted to be just a barber and was going to give up hustling. He remembers one night looking up at the ceiling and praying asking God what it was he was going to do to provide for his family. At the time he had a newborn son and wanted to buy a home for his family. That same night he stumbled across an Instagram post of a before and after photo that showed a guy who was bald in one pic and had a hairline in another. That was when he was drawn into the SMP world.
Dealing with hair loss himself, Alex wanted to use this to help fix his receding hairline but also understood that this service would be an amazing alternative for those dealing with baldness. Alex got certified in 2017 and brought SMP to Milwaukee. He went through many challenges and hindrances the first two years as he tried to start a business with his new skill and build his name in the SMP world. During these challenges, including personal life struggles with alcohol abuse, he gave his life to Christ and things changed from there as he became clear minded and had a new determination. He began to share about SMP around Milwaukee barbershops and barbers started spreading the news of SkalpX by word of mouth. In 2020, SkalpX’s clientele grew significantly, and it has only gone up from there. He has been a part of amazing Pro Teams like 5pm Shadow and was able to travel to network with other well-known SMP artist around the U.S. He continues to push SMP not only in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but in the Midwest area. Alex believes that the Midwest artist don’t get as much love as other big city/ region areas like the east coast, west coast and places like Florida. He plans on making a huge mark in the Midwest so that people know that the Midwest has amazing and talented artists as well.
