Headz Ain't Ready Barbershop in Jackson Heights, Queens

after you get your transplants, you get cornrows done for free

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[greekalum]

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.

//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.

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
Go to hell and stop acting like you're the people's champion for potential HTs.
JUDO KICK!

[Sister Havana]

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

My salon offers hair transplants to new customers.


But you couldn't afford it.

If you want to wear ballcaps, you better really want it, not just because you want ANY solution to thinning hair.

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.

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.
