Did Misty help you with the wig? Did you shave your hair? Do you bond or just wear it over your hair? I have looked at that website before and have contemplated ordering. I just worry about the fit. What do you think?
I go to HRS of Atlanta, they are really good. The pieces are real human hair and they are custom made to your head. If you are interested, you should call 404-231-3100, ask for Marshall Boyd, and make an appointment for a consultation, It is the best thing I have been able to find. I don't think they do the vacume systems, I didn't know such a thing existed until yesterday, I was thinking of calling and asking them. I hope that helps.
Hello Dawn, you asked about my intergrated sytem, well what you have described to me about yours is quite ulike the one ive been using for the past three years, with mine its a very fine net that is placed onto my head, it could be for just a small patch or the whole crown as in my case, then a lot of my hair is pulled through the little holes with a tiny thin needle type hook, it doesnt hurt, may pinch a bit here and there but nothing to moan about really, they pull enough hir through to make what they call conections, by braiding my own hair (whats left of it) with the synthetic hair, no glue is used, instead to bond mine and the synthetic at the root they simply wraap a bit of the synthetic hair around where they have atatched 'mine and theirs' and heat it with a little low heat iron pinches and thats it. they continue like that around the parimeter and in the center, and then where ever you need extra hair (where you have none) they simply nott synthetic hair where ever needed through the base net, they cut and style, it needs readjusting every 8 weeks, where the hair grows naturally so the attatchments need to be attatched to the roots. take a look at this site (go to hair loss) at the top of the page and it will show you how its done.
Hi Dawn, and thanks for the kind welcome!! Today was the day that I shaved my head, and I'm feeling quite liberated!! Tomorrow I face the public and my co-workers with my new look, and new wig!!
I am glad - well not glad, but you know what I mean - that it's not just me because everyone says how in FPB you only lose from the top, but I defnitely seem to lose more hair than I would expect from the sides. I know because I will get an itch and scratch the side of my head a clump of like 5-10 hairs will come out at a time, all from the same spot and this happens on a daily basis.

Sadly with big hair chain companies they only give you the options that work best for them to make as much money as possibly. We have heard absolutely terrible horror stories from clients who go to those places. You have so many options with hair replacement but they only want to give you the option which locks you into having to come to see them and pay for the hair to be re-bonded(glued) monthly. Where it was your first time with a hair replacement they should have offered you more. We have used several integration pieces for clients and had a lot of success with them. The systems we’ve used have much bigger holes …..using your reference with the size of a pencil eraser I would say the holes in our systems are more like 3 erasers put together….which allows for hair to be pulled through easily. Also we would never start you off by bonding your hair. We would use clips which are extremely secure and would give you options and also let you get comfortable with wearing hair without permanently gluing it to you head. There are so many options! : )
Hi Dawn! We are very close to Kennebunkport.....in fact that is where I got married this past May! It is like 20 to 30 minutes away! We would love to have you come in for a consultation. How long are you planning on staying for your visit? Cost is hard to determine depending on what base materials we use, type of hair, length of hair, etc. the price can vary any where from $350.00 to 1,600.00 (that includes all the styling that needs to be done to the hair and also care products.) Many insurance companies offer cover for cranial prosthesis and that is something we could help you with as we file insurance claims for our clients. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to give us a call at the office 207-571-3277 with any questions or to schedule a free consultation with us. In addition any one who I refer from this site gets 20% off the cost of the hair system.
Thanks Dawn. We took a direct hit with the eye only a few miles from our house. While the devastation around us is very sad, our family was very fortunate. Our home didn't sustain any significant damage and we are all safe! I don't think I'll ever ride out another hurricane even though the 'officials' didn't say we were in a mandatory evacuation zone. It's just too dangerous. We just got our power back this evening after losing it at 8pm on Friday. Slowly life will return to normal. Take care.
