Thank you for the greetings; this is a great site. I have been lurking for a couple of weeks after just wandering in when looking for some shaving advise.
I have been clean for only six weeks. As I said, for more than 10 years I wasted much time and money with
the Hair Club. It may be for some people, but when you look at it objectively, what you have is: 1) you pay between $250 and $1,000 per month for x number of "heads of hair" which they glue to your head; 2) once glued to your head, they style the "hair"; 3) you purchase their "special" styling products (shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, tape, gels, curl activators, etc) for as much as $11 - $20 per bottle; 3) you then are "encouraged to tip the stylist from $20 - $50 per visit; and 4) you are advised to get your system replaced every 4 - 6 weeks. After all is said and done, it's still a toup.
To get you and keep you, they prey on your insecurity. I would say only 60% looked presentable after a styling. However, when they return to get the new system put on or have that one "serviced", 90 - 95% looked like wig-city. Fortunately, I was one of those small minority that it actually looked natural. However, looking natural and looking good are two completely different things. The woman I went to regularly did a poor job cutting my hair- but she was the only one I trusted. So I would go to a barber after my service appointment and pay another $20 to have him cut my real hair. The last several times I had difficulty getting appointments with the two of them and the system was starting to look ratty so I said to myself: There has got to be a better way.
My dilemma was that no one knew I was a Club member. So, if I went clean there was no going back without being a walking advertisement for the Hair Club. In addition, I had no idea how it would look. I decided to roll the dice and go for it. Much to my surprise I have gotten nothing but rave reviews and have not looked back. As a daily reminder, I have the system that I cut off my head sitting on my dresser. I am now happier and significantly more wealthy in a number of ways.
Clean is where its at.

You definetly made the right choice....... and in the Spring when you wash your car you can take the old "hair" and use it to wipe down your dash boards.

I was scrolling down and looking at the words and for a split second I thought "That's a strange looking head!" Then I realized it was a bowling ball!
