Hair transplants... - Page 3

Sister Havana · #31 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.

Proof that you can't always trust your salon:

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

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

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.

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.

'Nuff said.

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.

HEY! That is a PERSONAL ATTACK!

You will be reported! And I feel it is necessary to point this out to you in a seperate post that has no other purpose but to say I'm reporting you.

But no matter what, I'll continue to Marine Forward!

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.

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

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

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.

Sister Havana · #45 10-13-2006, 02:03 PM

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.
