Seif Sidky
Hailing from **Egypt** and having grown up in the **UK and USA**, Seif is the founder and owner of **International Hairlines**. Seif is one of the most recognized and respected international **SMP (scalp micropigmentation)** artists and trainers since 2016.
A consummate perfectionist, his innate attention to detail, combined with his passion for helping people feel their best, has helped him produce some outstanding scalp micropigmentation work on clients from all walks of life and different backgrounds.
While with **Scalp Aesthetics** in his early years as a beginner, Seif received awards for the artist who produces the **“Best Natural Hairline”**, as well as the **“Best Business”** award. In the process, he became one of the busiest and most successful artists in the world.
He was subsequently awarded **“Best International Practitioner”** at the Scalp Guru Awards in 2018 and received **Bronze in 2019**. He also received the **“Excellence in Education”** award at the International Permanent Cosmetics Show in 2019, **“Best International Trainer”** at the SMP Expo 2021, and **“Best North American Artist”** at The Meeting of Minds SMP Conference in 2023.
He also runs his own training academy, **International Hairlines Academy**, and specializes in certain types of clients, specifically those who need **SMP repair work**, patients with **alopecia**, and other particularly challenging cases.
He is one of the most sought-after artists for **repairing poorly performed SMP procedures**. He is now focused on training, mentoring, and helping other artists develop the skills necessary to succeed in this industry.
Seif is in charge of mentoring the locations in **Florida and Egypt**, and since 2017 has contributed to establishing the **first and largest SMP clinic in the Middle East and Africa**.
Quiet in his demeanor, Seif is known for always telling the truth sympathetically. He is a strong believer in continuous education and training, which is why he is constantly studying and learning how to further improve the craft of SMP, both for himself and for his students and mentees.
He is dedicated to doing his part to ensure that this industry maintains **very high standards** and does not succumb to unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of the lack of regulation and potential clients, thereby tarnishing what others have worked so hard to accomplish.
