About Me:
HI! I'm Montoya Artese Grant. I live in Detroit Michigan (YAY!!!).. I'm in my second year of college studying Social Work with a minor in Psychology, I'm also working on a Certificate in Child Welfare. I'll be 20 in March so I'm very excited about that and really looking forward to celebrating it. I found out I had Alopecia when i was a freshmen in High School...bad timing right?... I had never even heard of alopecia before I was diagnosed with it in February 2004... Like so many others I've suffered through the countless numbers of cortisone shots...the topical creams and everything in between...none of this "solutions" worked... In 2005 I started going to Hair Club for Men...I was a member of the Hair Club for Kids for 2 1/2 years but had to leave due to financial issues...it was becoming expensive because I was turning 19.... I just recently started wearing wigs and to be honest I'm terrible when it comes to the upkeep of them... But I love to sing, read, write, and do my school work...I'm focused on getting that BSW...lol...well if i can think of any thing else I will be updating....SMOOCHES!

    Hi Montoya,

    I don't know much about the Hair Club wigs because I have never gotten one from them. I understand about money though because I recently got a hair transplant from them. I've been looking to get a hair transplant for about ten years now. I finally got it (in payments) and so far I am happy. I was tired of looking for hair loss solutions with none working how I want. I guess I am in the waiting phase but I figured I could post videos and status along the way for others thinking about getting it done.

    Are you still using wigs now that you are in college?

    Hi Montoya,

    Understandable. I don't even want to shave my head and sport the bald look which is one of the reasons why I got the Hair Transplant. Which reminds me. I have to give Hair Club a call. My head has been tender and itchy these last few days.
