What do you have to offer??? Just cause you want something doesn't mean you're entitled to it!

I think we should encourage her if it is her dream.

Didn't people support you when you had your eyebrows waxed? Is this not the SAME thing?!?

I know the former Surgeon General PERSONALLY. She told me that everyone should be able to get hair transplants, regardless of how old they are.

The flip flips sound lovely. I'm sure those will be fine, even though I have zero experience and am not affiliated with anything to do with hair transplants.

I can't believe you are naming names here. DISCRETION IS THE KEY! Shop owners do talk, you know.

Ok eyebrow waxing and hair transplants are NOT AT ALL THE SAME THING!!!! I don't know how much clearer I can make that. Just about every girl out there gets her eyebrows waxed and will usually get them done at different salons. All of the salons know that. Not everyone gets hair transplants, and if they do, they don't just salon-jump until they see something they like and proclaim "ooh, I'll take that one!"

Why is there no Hair Transplant Forum??

I think we should all be able to discuss Hair Transplants freely and openly...the WHOLE procedure. Start to finish. Insurance forms to Operating Room, and the effects on our life afterward. And, it shouldn't matter WHICH Clinic you went to. In fact, we need a list of all Clinics that offer Hair Transplants, including frequency of offers, ease of acceptance as a patient, and every step of how it works at that Clinic.

OMG, AlphaFrog - that is SUCH a good idea!! Then maybe adpiucf can create a sort of "master" list for all the salons that offer the service. She says that she has no experience with the process, but I think she would be a great person to make a list for people like me. I just wonder how many others are out there searching with no help like I am. I am having to do this all on my own - from shopping salons on the net, to contacting clients personally to get a recommendation for their salon. Then I have to call the salon directly - it is just such a let down when they hang up on me or tell me that they aren't looking for new clients.

Sister Havana - you say that shop owners talk, but don't you think that we all should have access to their records? That way we can seek out past clients & find someone to help us get "ahead" in the process. I don't think you should be so negative to me about my dream - I would love to call your salon & I'll tell them that you referred me!

And OMG - eyebrow waxing & hair transplants have a lot in common you know! They are both dealing with hair... specifically "moving" hair. And they are both on your head.

I don't see why the process would be much different other from each other. adpiucf - don't you listen to the haters!

You all are hilarious!!!

ETA: This post may appear insensitive to those who have or seek hair transplants. I am not laughing at those people but rather laughing at the thought of someone inquiring about hair transplants so openly when they could seek guidance elsewhere. All in all, there are pros and cons to hair transplants and it is ultimately the discretion of the salon if they 1) offer transplants in the first place and 2) will grant a transplant to a particular person. Viva la wave de la future!!!

And I would not give so much personal information about your lifestyle since it may not mesh with the other clientele of the salons. Remember, you want to make a good impression.

But I know that in college, there were a lot of people who really wanted to be a client for HT salons, but for whatever reason, we couldn't. Money, the time to get the transplant, etc. I think that all women who want to fulfill their HT dreams should have the chance. I may even write a book about it to get the word out to the world. I know that given the information publicly, many people would flock to sign up. They just have to be given the chance.

As for my lifestyle - I'm not gay... not that there's anything wrong with that. I just wanted to make sure that that wouldn't be an issue for the HT salon that I am seeking that will hopefully offer me an opportunity to b a client. If you think that being gay will make a good impression, then let me know. I can call up my cousin Hickey & ask him for some people to help me out. He knows all kinds of people & I'll bet that he could find me someone to help coach me if I need it. My cousin Hickey is real proud of me - he says that someday I will be purty enough to marry. But not him, cause he's my cousin. Even though his momma & my uncle (his momma's brother & my daddy's cousin) were once caught in a scandal. But we got that quieted down real good before the family reunion.

I don't think people will think that we are being insensitive. No one should be ashamed of hair transplants - they are the WAVE of the future! I am proud that I am able to put my personal life out there to inspire others, even if it means ridicule. I think that if we got more information out there about HT (as AlphaFrog suggested) that more people would have the opportunity to shop for a salon that they like & think they would best fit in. Which is what I'm trying to explain to Sister Havana, but she isn't getting it apparently

Sister Havana · #9 10-13-2006, 01:45 PM

Please don't stereotype the employees and clients of the salons. That is not the way to make a good impression.

AXO Alum, have you thought about Avacor? I hear that advertised on the radio all the time and it might be a good option for you.

Can we stop talking about this? This thread is making it seem like hair transplants are easy for everyone to get, and that's not the case. I think we need to trust our stylists and other people at our salons - they do a good job of getting the people truly deserving of hair transplants.

tunatartare · #10 10-13-2006, 01:46 PM

Proof that you can't always trust your salon:

We have the RIGHT to talk about it. And because that RIGHT exsists, we WILL talk about it.

I'm offended and I intend to report a bunch of people in this thread. I'm just letting you know.

Okay Drole-fillet-o-fishshit. Go right ahead. I know you think that just cos you got your HT via a sponsor on GC everyone should get it but guess what honey? I've had my HT a lot longer than you, I think I know a little more about them and the way they work than you do.

It's like telling someone with no arms to reach for the stars.
