Hair transplants...

texas*princess · #1 10-22-2006, 02:45 PM

Hey guys!!!

So I haven't heard back from anyone despite all of the calls I've made...and I was in NY last week for work, so I took it upon myself to visit the Kermit salon.

To make a long story short, I got escorted out by security

Apparently they don't like people coming around and asking about HTs

Aww. ((((hugs)))) I'm so sorry, t*p. You'll find a home somewhere. Don't give up on your dream. There are still plenty other salons to look at.

Opening up a salon takes a lot of hard work, time and dedication. Not to mention the insurance and tax money that's involved. I wouldn't recommend it to any shopper looking for a quick fix.

Nice job with this though I would have gone with 523 rather than 530.

BUT the good news is that security escorted you out! That means that they know you & know what you are seeking!! So you may be getting a call from them soon to talk about dates! I think its a good sign - so don't be depressed over it at all!!

I too decided to be a little more pro-active & called the President of the "Snow White" salon. I had sent over some pictures & unfortunately, she told me that some clients had heard about me on GC & had determined that I wouldn't be a good fit for them. She said that I was not being discreet enough & was trying to search for a quick & easy way to become an HT client versus going through the process like all the other ones did -- I tried to tell her this was my journey to fulfill a lifelong dream, but no use

I feel certain that I know which GC'ers turned me in, and I am not planning on outing them (yet) but I would like for you all to be more supportive of us.

We never got the chance in college to get HT's like some of you did. Some of us didn't have the money, or the time, or the social skills to be accepted -- but we are changing that now. We are buying shoes that we can't afford (much less walk in), wearing underwear from Vicky's Secret that barely covers the you-know-where, and cutting back to wearing only one plaid a week -- there are sacrifices that we are trying to make to fulfill our dreams!! So we should be ushered to the front of the line -- I don't care how long others have waited in line, I want to become an HT client & I want it now!!

You're welcome. Just protecting the integrity of my salon and its clientele.

KLPDaisy, if you don't like people getting hair transplants, why don't you just NOT READ THIS THREAD?? Just because you have been through your salon's process and know what it is looking for does not make it right for you to shoot down other people's DREAMS.

tunatartare · #8 10-23-2006, 02:24 PM

Because I don't want balding, white-trash shoppers ruining my salon's prestige and reputation.

greekalum · #9 10-23-2006, 03:23 PM

Maybe you should think about what your NAME CALLING is doing to that reputation!! A little birdie told me your salon took away your frequent-blowout privileges.

tunatartare · #10 10-23-2006, 03:28 PM

You may want to check your sources before posting. As I understand, you are a jourstronaut and should therefore know the importance of fact-checking. My salon didn't take away any privileges from me. I chose to get my hair chemically straightened, therefore making my need for blow dries obsolete.

You have said something that vaguely disagrees with my opinion. This is a lynching. I've reported you.

I think after I get my HT I'm gonna get me a Ford Taurus.

I always wanted a Ford Taurus and I'm really bummed that they're being discontinued.
