Hair transplants...

Sister Havana · #1 10-13-2006, 01:15 PM

No, I don't think you should have access to the hair salons' records. How they select clients is their business - only employees and clients of that salon need to know that. Now, if a client or an employee comes to you and offers to get you an appointment, that's different and I have no problem with that. I don't think any of us on this board do. That's the way it should be.

Don't you know anyone in your family or community that's had hair transplants? They'd be better resources than random people on the internet.

I got my hair transplants from JimBob and he only transplants hair to women with many, many years of hair care experience, so since you've never even kept a wig, you don't qualify for JimBob.

That said, OMG I TOTALLY HOPE ACME TAKES YOU GOOD LUCK!!!!!

OMG - you are kidding!! JimBob's was definitely ON MY LIST!! That is too funny. I have always heard that JimBob's Hair Transplants, Bait, and Tackle shop was the absolute best. I just didn't think that I would ever be good enough for them. Would you PLEASE write me a recommendation to go to them? I would just die if I ever got a chance to be considered by JimBob's. I know you can't promise anything, but at least they would know that I had someone who was willing to refer me! I am just too freaking excited now!!

Look, missy. If JimBob wants to do your hair transplants, they will CALL YOU. Like I said, JimBob only transplants those with strong records of hair service. If you had the kind of hairesume JimBob was looking for he would already know about you.

So you won't give me a recommendation for a salon? I figured that you of all people would understand my situation. I have always wanted to know how they select their clients, and I think I have a right to know. I am disappointed that you think this should be kept private. There are a lot of people out there seeking this & they should know the selection process for hair transplants.

No - I would be the first in my family to get a hair transplant, but my cousin Hickey did have some metal plates put in his head one time after he got into a fight at a bar. He was just going there to pick up a girl that needed a nice motel room for the night. Some guy said that she was his girlfriend, but Hickey said that never matters much. They left him pretty tore up, but he says that this makes him look tougher so that those people on the street he takes bags to at night don't want to mess with him.

Since you asked, and won't shut up until someone recommends you a salon apparently, I'll bite.

No, there are not a lot of people out there looking for hair transplants. It may seem that way because of the number of people on here that may have had them, but in the real world, hair transplants are very rare. 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.

AlexMack · #9 10-13-2006, 01:34 PM

OMG WTF?

You don't go looking for hair transplants, the salons that do them will find you and your balding head. Why is this so hard to understand? Furthermore, you don't say that you have any personal connection with any of these salons, it's like you're looking for a hair transplant, any hair transplant from anyone who'll take you.
Every salon is different. Perhaps you can tell us some more about your experience with your hair and why you feel that a hair transplant is right for you. It's a very expensive procedure that lasts for a lifetime and I'm just not comfortable with your approach.
Hair transplantation is a very serious matter you know

Why are you being so mean to her? She's just looking for answers. I know my particular salon would not accept her as a member, but that doesn't mean I won't fight to the death to make sure that she finds one that will!! You should too. We should all not be meanie-pants, and blow as much sunshine up her ass as we can. After all, it's not my salon she's going to end up anyways.

I think you need to shut up. You have driven off other HT candidates by being horrible and including links to models with gorgeous hair in your signature, don't even pretend you didn't. Oh and what the hell was with those pictures under the link 'Alopecia Awareness'? Holy shit.
Now suddenly you're all for it because you know that no matter what, no one here is going to use your salon. Well you know what? I worked hard to gain membership to my salon, my doctor is very exclusive and you seem to think it's okay to tell people we take anyone. Bite me Alphafrog, and don't think I'm not gonna campaign against your Hair Transplant Forum. That's a horrible idea.
GC is a skewed statistical example of a demographic that have long had their HTs and it will just make it look so easy when it's not.

Well, I don't think you are really being sincere to me. I looked up their number on the internet (where I do all my research, thank you!) & when I called, I found out that they are out of business. Thanks a lot - please don't reply & get my hopes up if you aren't going to help me. I am putting a lot into this journey & I need to be supported by people who can help me find what I am looking for - the salon that is the best fit for me. If you know of another salon I can contact, then let me know. I am willing to travel long distances to find what I am searching for.

I prefer "hair follicle challenged" head, thank you. There is no reason to get personal here. You don't know me or my head - you just think because I'm willing to help other people through my journey, that you can talk down to me. Well I don't appreciate it & would like to report you for a personal attack, but feel that would only make matters worse.

I KNOW its serious - that is why I want my journey to reflect not only my needs, but the needs of others out there who may not know anything about HT but need to know its an option for them. I also think my personal connection should come from the internet - from real people who know how to help me. adpiucf, AlphaFrog, and greekalum have no trouble in helping me, so why shouldn't others? If I can't get a recommendation from you, then I will find it somewhere else.

Thank you - I am glad to know that you understand my need for finding all the answers on the internet. And if your salon can't take me, I understand. I just want a chance, that's all. And I will take sunshine ANYWHERE I can get it - thank you. I may not be a client at your salon, but I feel we will always have a connection & everytime I brush my new hair, I will think of you.

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.

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.
