For Professionals Use

MyHairCounts is the go-to app for anyone with hair loss to track progress from treatments. The users need someone to take good images of their hair and scalp regularly. Many pay their stylists, barbers or esthetician for this. Taking pictures of face and hair may appear easy. But taking high quality images needed for accurate hair density analysis is not. It is a specialty called Macro-photography. As a MyHairCounts Imaging Professional (MIP), you will be paid to take these images for your clients. But the images must meet certain standards so the clients get accurate hair density results. So the reason for certification is to master the skills and knowledge needed to take high quality hair and skin images consistently and quickly. MyHairCounts Certification process helps you to achieve that.

(1) The MyHairCounts Imaging Professional (MIP) Certification program is offered to licensed beauty professional only. It consists of two 30-min remote lessons via Zoom, covering about 10 topics. (2) There are assignments to practice the skills and knowledge learned from the lessons. Study at your own pace and schedule. (3) Remote coaching and support (Zoom, phone, email) are availble as needed during the entire process until certification is received. (4) All assignments will be graded. (5) A final test to receive the MIP certification. (The Independent Imaging Test - when the professional takes a set of images to be analyzed with good accuracy within a certain time)

Typically 2.5-3 hours of total time commitment is recommended to obtain MIP. The program is self-paced. We encourage to complete the certification within 30 days of signing up. The sooner you get MIP, the sooner you can charge for your service.

The certification is good for one year. There is no cost to renewal if a certified professional has been actively working with clients on imaging. If there is a prolonged period of non-activity, (12-month), a new test may be required to ascertain the soundness of knowledge and skill to maintain certification status.

You are actually a specialized professional photographer as an MIP. Clients typically take a new set of repeat images every 30-90 days to track progress depending on their treatment. A MIP should be able to take the images in 5-9 minutes after doing it for a while. Stylists and Barbers typically charge $10 - 50/image session to take a set of 8 images for each session. Depending on your clientele, you can set a profitable price that works well for you.
