That same week, another client went through a similar change of mind. He originally wanted a natural SMP look, and that’s how we started. After the second session, though, he decided he wanted it sharper.
He told me there was another guy at his gym whose SMP I had done. Seeing that result helped him decide what he wanted for himself. His thinking was basically, “If I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it.” He wanted that sharper, more defined look.
Personally, I sometimes lean toward a natural finish, but a sharper look can work too. My job is to listen, offer my professional guidance, and work with my client on a look they feel good about.
So we went sharper.
He called me afterward and told me he was happy with his decision. That was what mattered to me. Sometimes clients become clearer about what they want as they see the work develop, and I’m glad we found the direction that felt right for him.
