    Capilia

    I know that the majority of folks on this blog are promoters of internet/mail order businesses and are not fans of salons. This question is for the rest of you. :) Does anyone have experience using the services of Capilia (capilia.ca) in the Ottawa area? I don't mind spending money on a...

    OMG, Virtual reality replacement hair

    His piece is awful. I wonder why he would not do a beter job when electing to be on video to promote a hair replacement product.

    There has got to be one good salon per continent!

    I know that folks in this forum are generally biased towards internet/mail order pieces due to the many stated cost and quality advantages of this method over dealing with hair replacement salons. I have first hand experienced the high pressure sales, the ridiculous piece, the poor after sales...

    for anyone thinking to get a hair piece....DONT

    One thing I have not seen in forums is someone step up with photos demonstrating a successful case of this "phasing in" strategy. It would be encouraging to see photos of a man wearing his piece after cut in at each stage of the integration. Given this, it would be great to know the specs on...

    Communicating your vision for a cut in (via software).

    FYI... I have now tried many of the "makeover" applications on the web. They are both ridiculous and useless. I find it very difficult to believe that modern imaging does not allow for an application that enables quasi accurate basic haircut design on a provided photograph. We are not...

    for anyone thinking to get a hair piece....DONT

    On the topic of career impact of hair, I can add a note from experience. If you do not have a job and feel that hair (real or simulated) will help you to compete for positions, then this may well be credible (with a 1990s piece attached, I beat out a good list of competitors for the first job I...

    one of the best!

    I appreciate photo submissions like this because they provide food for thought for the undecided. However, in my eye, the piece in question looks expertly integrated and yet not 100% convincing. The haircut in question also appears to be one of moderate maintenance and appears to...

    Communicating your vision for a cut in (via software).

    I can interpret silence in many ways. Any ideas would be appreciated before I resort to programming the ultimate solution myself. :) Business partners welcome. :)

    Decided I'm going the hairsystem route after meds..(maybe)

    I had hair transplant. I had a wonderful surgeon. It looked great! Very natural. It lasted 6 years. It then started to shed as did the rest of my hair. Nothing could stop it. Now I have thinning, strangely distributed transplanted hair, an inadequate donor area for further hair transplant, and some nasty...

    Communicating your vision for a cut in (via software).

    There ought to be software that allows you to design how you wish your piece to look on an image of your head with a front, side and back view. Kind of like makeover applications, but with hair piece considerations factored in. I have yet to find an appropriate/realistic makeover software...

    Hair System advances

    Thanks for all the replies. Brilliant links. Doing the math on BA Hair apparent and assuming a piece can last a few months, looks like about 2K a year total. My biggest obstacle appears to be finding a non salon to step up to do a cut in. Watching True Blood I wonder why, if pieces...

    Hair System advances

    I last wore a hair system in 1999. I then got hair transplant...which looked great for 6 years and then slowly shed to nothingness. I am now back on the market for a hair system. I keep hearing about how such systems have advanced in the past 10 years. If anyone can comment on how the following have...
