Dot Dattie Podcast #60 - Chris Herrera - The Art of SMP

Chris Herrera has been in the hair care industry for over 20 years and is one of the most recognized names in Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) worldwide. He started cutting hair at just 16, driven by a passion for helping people look and feel their best. By 18, Chris began experiencing hair loss himself, trying every cream and dye he could find before finally discovering scalp micropigmentation—a treatment that changed his life. After receiving SMP, he gained back the confidence he thought was lost, and today he gives that same gift to clients from all over the world. As the founder of SMP MD / Art of SMP in Kensington, Maryland, Chris has built one of the most respected SMP clinics in the industry, setting a new standard for artistry and results. With his Master Barber background, he is among the few distinguished practitioners capable of creating natural, life-changing transformations for those battling thinning hair, receding hairlines, or alopecia. Chris is also the founder of Blendz and the creator of the Blendz Elite PRO Team, a collective of some of the world’s top SMP artists he personally built to raise the standard of excellence in the industry. Under his leadership, SMP MD / Art of SMP has won international awards, earned more five-star Google reviews than any other SMP company worldwide, and become a trusted destination for clients seeking the very best in scalp micropigmentation.

Dot Dattie Podcast #58 - Justin “J” Gambacorta- J's Barber Shop

Justin “J” Gambacorta is a 41-year-old Master Barber and the owner of J’s Barbershop. Born and raised in Elsmere, Delaware, he now resides in Pike Creek, where he enjoys spending time with his family, staying active, and working on his craft. J’s artistic influences stem from passions he developed as a teenager, including skateboarding, music, and movies. His journey into barbering began at age 14, when he started cutting hair for friends and family at home. By 19, he was apprenticing in local barbershops, where he received formal training and developed a growing interest in business. In 2007, at just 23 years old, J opened his first barbershop in Marshallton. It was there that he launched his apprenticeship program, training barbers one at a time with hands-on mentorship. In 2024, he relocated the business to 5601 Kirkwood Highway, converting a former 7-Eleven into a 12-chair barbershop. The move tripled the shop’s space, parking, and visibility—solidifying it as a self-described “Delaware Landmark.” FIND HIM HERE: www.jsbarbershopde.com @js_barbershop_de --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joey Dots aka Dot Dattie is an Entrepreneur, Father, Husband, Podcaster, and Content Creator.

Dot Dattie Podcast #54 - D Chris - D Black

This episode of the podcast is available in two versions: English and Korean. If you speak Korean, skip ahead to the 41-minute mark — the rest of the episode is fully in Korean, including Joey Dots’ segment. (한국어를 하신다면 41분 지점으로 건너뛰어 주세요 — 이후 에피소드는 Joey Dots의 부분을 포함해 전부 한국어로 진행됩니다.) This episode with D Chris was special. We got creative: I asked questions in English, had them translated into Korean, and D Chris answered in Korean. His answers were then translated back to English, and we edited everything into one full podcast. It was a long process, but totally worth it. I hope to sit down with D Chris in person one day with a translator, so we can dive deeper into his life before SMP. Huge thanks to D Chris for doing this — I’m truly grateful.
