Hair loss solution research can be a bit of a scary task, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. Hair loss affects millions worldwide, and is an umbrella to conditions such as trichotillomania, alopecia, male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness, stress related hair loss, chemotherapy hair loss, psoriasis related hair loss, hair loss from medication and hypotrichosis. In terms of hair pieces and systems, what options might work best for you? Are you looking for something semi-permanent, or occasional? This comprehensive blog will offer you a large insight on what to expect from a hair piece system from Pacific Hair Loss Solutions.
The lovely Laura Cuthbert covers some of the biggest questions in our video here. All else are included thereafter!
How long have you been in business?
This year (2016), in May will mark our 15th year servicing Vancouver's hair loss needs.
How do I book a consultation?
You can give us a call at 604.662.4451, and if you're phone shy, feel free to e-mail us at info@pacifichair.ca
Who will be doing the consultation?
A consultation will be conducted by a non surgical hair restoration specialist with over ten years over experience.
This is emotional for me, and I have had bad salon experiences, what makes you guys different?
Hair loss isn't an easy thing to deal with, let alone talk about. We have been around for almost 14 years, specializing in hair pieces and hair extensions, so we've seen all different kinds of hair loss and are empathetic toward the sensitivities that this may cause. We're hear to offer an ear for your experience, in a private, comfortable setting.
What do you have to see in the consultation?
In a consultation, we will run through an entire visual presentation of the process, provide samples of different colours, textures and sizes of different kinds of hair systems that are available.
Is this surgical?
All of our services are non surgical, without any bonds, glues or adhesives.Do you have a philosophy on wellness?
Absolutely! We believe that hair piece systems are an excellent solution for hair loss, but a lot of the process needs to come within. It's important to feel comfortable with the change you're about to make. It won't always be easy, but it's important to have a good support system at home that will help guide you through if need be.
How long does the process take?
From the end of your consultation, we can have you in for a brand new hair system within two weeks! At your first appointment, an installation takes roughly two hours.
I'm afraid of needles, do you use needles for anything?
Pacific does not use any injection needles for any processes.
Are clips involved?
Clips are only utilized if the wearer decides that they would like to wear their piece a couple times a week. If you are thinking you would like to wear your hair piece system every day, it's probably best to have it installed semi-permanently.
I want to dye my hair piece, can you do that?
At your consultation, we will decide what the initial colour of your piece will be. We can create a custom coloured piece from either a photograph, or a swatch. If down the road, you decide that you would like to colour your piece, we can do that as well.
Can I heat style my piece?
These hair piece systems are 100% human hair, so you are able to curl, flat iron and wash your piece without fear that it will get damaged.
Can I wear hats and helmets?
You can absolutely wear hats and helmets with your hair piece system, but we advise against prolonged usage, as that can cause shedding, due to the friction against the piece.
I’ve had trich for decades—will my hair grow back?
It's important to still seek wellness treatment in addition to a hair system for the best results. Every case is a different, but with our trich clients, we've found that the semi-permanent systems tend to prevent them from pulling underneath, allowing for more hair growth.
How many trich clients do you have?
Currently over two dozen and counting!
How long will a hair piece system last me?
The life of a hair piece system depends on the initial colour of the piece, how often you heat style your piece and overall care. With every day use and proper care, you can look at a life of about a year to a year and a half.
I don’t live in Vancouver, can you send me the piece and I’ll install it myself?
Absolutely! We can send you a piece that is colour, texture, size and length matched to your exact specifications. If you are unable to find someone within your area who is able to conduct this service, we will do the research for you!
