    Aye?... They do most of their business through WhatsApp, message him on that or text. I know a few people that have used them and theres never been any issues.

    They're regarded as one of the best places to go in Glasgow for work and price. Been open for 6 years.

    I think you're getting mixed up with somewhere else mate.
    They don't do marketing reply emails and it's an independent shop, not a big company.

    Quite lucky with hair, 33 and still got a full head. No losing any. However, I know a few folk who have had different experiences with different places.

    So, my brothers partner, his hair was going really thin. Like, really bad. So, when they moved down to London, before he moved he got a wig. * looks class by the way. Think he get's a new one done every 3 months and it costs him £150 to get it all glued etc. So, £50 a month it works out at. Looks class to be fair. No one down in London knows a thing.

    I then had a mate who got two different transplants done in Turkey. First one in 2018 and then got another one last year. Think it cost him about £4k all in. Looks ok, still thin but it's hair and he had * all before.

    Old school pal of mine was going fully bald, he got it done in Glasgow and his was like £7k. Really expensive and it looks the worst out the lot. So thin and while it still grows, it just looks so thin. He's still got the odd bald spot too.

    This is quite simple and people have mentioned it already. If you're planning on going through with this look at your heredity, specifically your father's MPB. If you are thinning in your 20s then chances are a FUE hair transplant is NOT for you. There won't be enough donor hair left in the non DHT zone to cover you for life. Eventually when you thin the massive array of dot scarring will be visible for all to see.

    Most reputable clinics will tell you this but most foreign ones will not. They don't care and lying is routine for them. Also if you get complications (which admittedly is rare) you are *. You absolutely need to be taking finasteride with this or it is pointless.

    This situation isn't going to be resolved until a new aggressive form of treatment comes out. Possibly hair follicle cloning or something of the like but that's decades away at least. Even if they are able to clone the follicles they still have to overcome obstacles like tissue necrosis.

    Pretty much what I tell everyone with the finasteride is if you are not taking it after getting say a hair transplant done you are going to end up with the same issue another 10 years down the line.

    Got one booked for the summer. Hairline started slowly to recede since I hit 27. I’m 32 now and you still can’t notice it unless you pull my hair right back. Give it another 3-5 years however and there will be no hiding it so going to get it sorted now.

    Glad to see there is less of a Stigma now about it as nobody blinks an eye when a lassie says she’s going to get a * job.

    I’m kicking onto 50 and my barber says I have the best hair in the district. Thick as * and need it cut every 10-12 days. Sorry guys, not trying to rub it in. Whoever goes for it, I wish you well.

    The guy with the wig won’t be getting a bird brushing his hair. He’s married to my brother. Hahahahhaa… it’s superglued on though. He can wash it and all that I’m sure. Gets the super glue changed every 3 months.
