Post of the day? I think so.

Good luck in your journey. Just because JimBob isn't an option for you does not mean you don't have every right to your dream. Keep calling salons. You will find one that will take you!

I'm sorry that telling like it is means a personal attack. You're probably a touch too sensitive for my salon if you can't face the truth and call it a balding head. Christ...well I can't say anymore because then I'd be violating patient-doctor confidentiality.
Don't think I won't be alerting my head salon about you, I will be. They'll see you and your shiny cueball head coming a mile away.

OMG - I didn't mean to cause such a problem here. I just wanted to share my journey with GC & thought I could get some more information this way. I don't think that your doctor is any more exclusive than the others I've called. It may even be the SAME one - you have no way of knowing, do you? So we may end up being side-by-side in the "Results Photo Album" - you can never be too sure.

Avacor is not for me. For one thing, one of the older guys that talks on the commercial I heard on the radio sounds just like John Wayne. And he's been dead for a long time - and I don't think its right to use the voice of dead people. That isn't what an ad should be about. So no, I don't think that it is the right choice for me, although other people are very happy with it I'm sure.

And I think that this thread is making people aware of the journey some of us go on to search for what will complete us in life. We need to know that there are others out there to support us. I don't think that we can trust people who have worked at these salons for years & years - they may not be aware of what we have gone through to fulfill our dreams.

Amen, sister - I am so happy that I will someday be your Hairternal Sister, even if I can't go to your salon.

I think you misunderstood me - I think that JimBob is great, and I would love for you to recommend me. I am sure once they find out what all I have to offer, they will want me for sure. So thanks for getting that right over to me. I am so excited!

I am just going to ignore the personal attacks. I think that it is important to not let them interfere with my dream & with such an important journey. Please don't report people - its just not worth it in the long run. I would rather us all try to get along & bring awareness to my journey. That is what should be most important - helping me to get what I want in life.

Really, if you have no connections, there are lots of other options. Wig boutiques, Rogaine, Avacor, baseball caps...all of those advertise openly and welcome new people.

A wig is NOT THE SAME althoug wig service may help bolster your resume for hair transplant.

Okay, send me your resume and I will see what I can do. JimBob's requirements have changed but I can PM you the list of all the HT places I know that are open to all. My cousin is a client at Bubba Hair and she could write you a recommendation there for sure.

She's already said she doesn't WANT other options. She WANTS HT, so she should GET HT. It's not up to us to insult her by giving her other options. STOP BEING POOPY HEADS!!!

Again, you are missing the point. This is about a journey for me. Its about fulfilling a dream & not being complete without it. It isn't about something temporary - it is about finding what I need. And I am willing to research, shop, stalk, or just about anything else to get what I want. Please don't work so hard to destroy my dreams by trying to lead me down other paths. They aren't for me - I know what I want & I won't stop till I get it.

ETA: Thank you, greekalum - I will work on something & get it to you. I want to make a good impression so I'll have my cousin Hickey read it for me before I send it to you. He has a real good brain - 5th grade education & everything. I know I can depend on him to make sure that everything looks good. It may take a while though - he just called me & whispered that he may be going to jail for a few days. I asked him why & he said that he was going undercover for the police. I know that he has done that a lot for him. He usually goes to jail for a few days - then one of them nice women that he helps out by getting them a motel room for the night will go over & get him out of jail. I think its all part of the undercover work, cause after she gets him out, he says they are going undercovers at the motel. I am just happy that he is able to help so many people.

I feel it necessary yet again to tell everyone that I'm reporting you for not agreeing with me and my view 100%.

AXOAlum would be a great candidate for HT, but I will never say whether or not I would recommend her. I'd rather just report you all for suggesting other things and/or insulting everyone who's looking into HT.

/MARINE FORWARD
//I'm also reporting centaur for replying to me and having the word evil in her signature. She must be referring to me and that's wrong.

GAAAARHEHHGHHHH THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE!

REPORTED!

/MARINE FORWARD

ARE YOU ATTACKING ME FOR TELLING THE TRUTH? Excuse me for giving her a shot of reality!!! :p

My salon offers hair transplants to new customers.


But you couldn't afford it.

Well in my sporting goods store we are open to anyone. We set out an informational booth for anyone who wants to wear baseball caps right outside the Harris-Teeter. I dropped out before I got a baseball cap, but I know they are desperate for cap-wearers.

But you were never even allowed to WEAR your baseball cap. You were accepted to the group, and started the process for the right to wear it, but you dropped out. Stop talking like you are privilidged enough to WEAR the baseball cap. You never followed through, and therefore can't speak from personal knowlegde of baseball cap wearers.

Hey, Drole-fillet-o-fishshit? Bite me. I know you're gonna report this too so I figured I'd just go all out.
You're insane. You think that just because this website made it easy for you, everyone should have the same opportunity. It doesn't work that way. I can't believe we used the same salon :rolleyes:
Go to hell and stop acting like you're the people's champion for potential HTs.
JUDO KICK!

I am NOT a rejectee for HT thank you - please do not insult me as I wasn't wanting to be a ball cap wearer anyways. I mean if its for you, that's fine - but I am on a journey & don't need to be made to feel as if I am some rejected member of society or something. Geez - can you people be any more mean about this? What's next... picking on me for wearing those bloody white flip flops my cousin Hickey gave me to church?

Please don't report people - I want people to know that there is a lot of information out there, even if some people want to get personal & attack others. Also, I am concerned about your use of "marine" because as you know, they are not allowed to wear their hair past .0005 inches - so therefore, it may appear to others as insensitive to their own hair-challenged needs, even if it is self-inflicted.

But I told you that my cousin Hickey has a real good job. He brings home lots of money every morning. Sometimes I have to put it in the washer for him - he says money laundering is the best way to keep people from stealing your money. I also try to keep some stashed in the freezer for him. He says even the police will try to take your money, and by giving some to me, it stays safe.


If she dropped out, I am sure there was a reason. She shouldn't have to say it out here in front of everyone. Please don't be disrespectful to her - she may have had a lot of issues with her situation. You just never know - maybe 30 years from now, she'll seek the group out again & try to regain her status and actually get to wear the cap. :(

The fact that you have to bring up where your money comes from just goes to show that you're not a good fit for my salon.

You know I've been thinking I want hair transplants too... and I've been looking around for salons that do them.. and none of them have the high quality hair that will match my own... I WILL PRESS ON, maybe if I just call everybody someone will be able to direct me to a salon that has great hair transplant skillz.

Well unfortunately, I just got bad news. Crazy Larry's called me back - you know how I left a message that that guy with the balding head was sooo cute... well, turns out THAT was Crazy Larry & that picture was AFTER the HT. So now they don't think that I would be a good candidate for them. And I am just soo disappointed. I have let myself down & so many others. I just need some time I think. I am going to Wal Mart or the Goodwill Store to buy me something nice to help me feel better about myself. Maybe some blue eyeshadow - or a princess costume - anything at this point to remind myself that I am someone & that I deserve the best in life.

My cousin Hickey says that I am a princess & I don't want to call him with the news, but I have to talk to someone. I need to know that there are people I can depend on in life. I just hope that the other places I called are going to call back with better news. I am just so sad - please don't give me a hard time about this. I am going to take a few hours away to collect my thoughts. I appreciate everyone's help in my journey. Even the people that don't agree with me are helping me to overcome my fears in fulfilling my dream.

Thanks, everybody - I will check in later I guess :(

The forum rules clearly state: IF YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THESE I WILL REPORT YOU!

You could take ShamikaT shopping with you. I hear she's a good shopping buddy when you've been rejected by a group.

I think you've been drinking too much peroxide. By the way fillet, you shouldn't be putting that on your HT. You can never use another salon and once your HT is gone, it's gone.

I just don't understand why you are all jumping on this person's dream to HT!

Many of you have WAXED your eyebrows, yet you are so high and mighty when it comes to HT!

HT is a long road and the women who HT work very hard! If you can't contact multiple salons for HT, then how can you justify calling on several salons for WAXING?

My good friend the former surgeon general assures me that every salon does HT and that more and more people are doing HT! I am compiling a list of who does HT and who doesn't. I will post it presently, even though I have never done HT, and have no experience with it whatsoever.

I can't HT b/c I have a full head of lustrous and silky hair. I am a proud lifetime member and chapter founder of LOCKS FOR LOVE! It is a FINE organization that I am PROUD to represent!

You all should be ashamed of yourselves!

I don't consider myself an HT. I had real hair for a while, but I had to shave it all off due to personal reasons, my HT was a real touching experience. EVERY HT could be the same!

Your personal attacks are in violation of the TOS that I posted earlier.

Bite me.

Seconded.

I think we need another reiteration of the TOS, because SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

AXO Alum, even though I have never used Acme, I do know someone who has. PLEASE let me put you in touch with someone from Acme. I want your hair transplant dreams to come true! I'd love to call you my hairy friend in the future, even if we didn't use the same salon!

Have you yourself gotten HT's? No. Didn't think so. You may wear a wig, baseball cap, sombrero, or whatever else your little heart desires, but you will never be a real HT patient. Please refrain from giving advice when you have never experienced the procedure yourself. Bless your heart.

No, believe me, I have HTs. But even though I didn't use Acme, I'd love to help someone else fulfill their HT dreams. I think EVERYONE should have the chance to experience HTs!

THE TOS STATES:

And I'm reporting those of you who requested I bite you. I am not a dog to command! But I will still:

MARINE FORWARD

More people should have this attitude. Even though my salon only reserves HT for extremely special, extra rare circumstances, I will continue to support those on their HT Journeys.

I think all HTs need a codename. From now on, all HTs will pick a jewel to be. I will be the Official Jeweler of the PNHT's of 2006.

Don't you mean marinara?

OMG everyone!!!!

Could it be true??? Could there really be a hair transplant option for me? I tried on five different occasions to get hair transplants ten years ago... I was unsuccessful every time! I was always so sad when I saw all my friends coming back from the salon with their hair transplants...I gave up on trying to find my hair transplant salon "home" but the dream never died.

AXO Alum I'm so happy that you're posting your story, because I know know how easy it is to get hair transplants even after unsuccessfully trying for years. THANK YOU GC!!! Without GC I would have never known about this option for me! I'm coming home, salon! Tonight I start my new journey!!! OMGZ!!!!!111!one!!11!eleventy1!!

Please put me on the list as a PNHT (potential new hair transplantee!)! I'm so happy6 to be coming home, future transplant sisters!!!



EDIT:

Okay so I did some researching and I've narrowed down my top five... I'm going to start my hair transplant thread now! I know discretion is key, so I'm going to name my top five potential salons after celebrities....

Jessica Simpson -- WOW! Their website is amazing! Everyone looks so close-knit and happy in the salon, and I love their mission statement and all the post-transplant support groups. Wow! There's even one in my area! Should I email the president of the support group and ask about a recommendation to the salon, or should I email their headquarters? Well, I'll just email both!

Britney Spears -- OMG, their website has a picture of a lion with a long, flowing mane on it. YOU GUYS -- I am SO into philanthropies involving lions! I even "adopted" a lion every through my local zoo when I was in college. This has got to be a match made in heaven!

Paris Hilton -- I actually unsuccessfully attempted to get transplants at this salon on three separate occasions... you know the type of salon, lots of blonde, skinny, size 0 'Barbie' types. I always knew that if I could get transplants at this salon, I would be thought of as one of the "beautiful" ones. I'm so glad to know that I can go back and try again!

Lindsay Lohan -- I knew a couple girls awhile ago that got their hair transplants here, and they always seemed so happy. I don't really know anything else about this org, other than it's a perfect home for me! Should I go over to that salon's GC forum and ask for someone to PM me with all the information about how to get hair transplants there?

Nicole Richie -- WOW! I was so impressed by their website! I don't have any prior connections to this salon, but I love their mascot! Can I PM someone who's gotten their hair transplants here for a recommendation?


THANKS GUYS! I'm so excited to try this again! I'll keep you posted!

Congrats AChiOSnap for taking the first step in your Journey!!!

What jewel will you choose to be?

Do you know which salon you would like to try? Even though I am partial to my own salon, I would love to put you in contact with other salons! Good luck, and I hope all your hair-filled dreams come true!

If HT doesn't work out, perhaps you could FOUND your own salon???

I am a proud charter member of my chapter of LOCKS FOR LOVE and while it was hard work, it was worth it!

WOW! I get to be a jewel! Okay...I want to be the onyx because I have black hair (but it's thinning, which is why I need transplants, lolz!).

I'm soooo glad I found you guyz because I'm really sort of awkward and weird IRL and I'm glad my internet friends can help make my hair transplant dreams come true!
