When you lose your hair, no matter what the reason you lost it, it can be very overwhelming. The health and emotional effects can be devastating but on top of all that you have to learn to navigate the whole new world of hair replacement. Which is what Bill Thurmond, a 37-year-old broker from New York City, found out the easy way by asking a friend!

And Bill was not suffering from any diseases or unknown reasons to account for his hair loss. He got a diagnosis from his dermatologist for simple male pattern baldness, which was a little pronounced for him and left him with a pretty large bald spot on the top of his head. Since he was still on the young side, he decided not to go with hair transplants and instead decided to investigate nonsurgical hair replacement. He was worried about hair systems and kept it to himself. He just hoped for the best, mostly because of the bad reputation the industry has had in the past. Finally, he remembered his friend Philip mentioned once that he wore a hairpiece, but Bill had forgotten because it looked so natural! So ...
... he called him up and finally got the advice he desperately needed about his hair loss.

He followed his friend Phillip's advice of calling at least 3 hair replacement studios for a consultation. Phillip was a 45-year-old real estate agent, also from New York City, who had been wearing a hair system for about five years. He was an active guy who loved to go running in Central Park every day so he needed a hair system that would be easy to take care of and maintain. He wanted to feel like it was his own hair and he never wanted to think about it much less take care of it. He told Bill that it was important to check out several different hair replacement studios and to get referrals of customers from each. He told Bill that he had to pay monthly to maintain his hair system and that a good hair replacement studio would put him on a regular schedule of payment and maintenance so that his hair system would always look perfect.

No matter what type of hair system he chose, Bill would have regular visits to have his hair system serviced, repaired, styled, and re-attached. He had no idea it was so extensive and then he realized he would no longer be going to the Barber Shop for his trims. His hair replacement specialist would become his new hair stylist. Phillip warned Bill to make certain of what was included in the service agreement! Phillip also told Bill to understand exactly what type of hair system he was choosing, how it is attached, what its limitations are and to make sure he received a set of instructions for his personal hair replacement for regular care and for avoiding emergencies and what to do if one should arise.

Once Bill chose a hair replacement studio, the hair replacement specialist made her recommendations, but Bill wanted to ask Philip his opinions, too. Bill had no idea there were so many choices of hair and attachments and styles. Together they agreed on the highest quality human hair and instead of getting disposable hair system hair like Phillip had because of his running activities they chose to create two really high quality units so he could use and maintain his hair system for the longest period of time possible. Bill would visit the hair replacement specialist every six weeks to have his system maintained while Phillip went every three weeks and simply had a new hairpiece put on every time.

Just like making any considerable purchase, signing on to a hair replacement studio and choosing a hair system takes the same amount of research and due diligence to make the choice that's right for you. And once Bill's hair system was actually in place, he was no longer worrying about his bald spot. He was going about his normal life showering, sleeping and working without any maintenance required on his part other than showing up for his appointments every 6 months and paying the bill on time. What a relief!
