The Bald Eat Free!

LODI, Calif. - Bald is beautiful in Lodi — at least to Gary Arnold, a restaurant owner who charges customers according the amount of hair on their head.

A full head of hair will get you nowhere with Arnold, who sports a naked noggin himself.

But customers who come to Gary's Uptown Restaurant and Bar on Wednesdays with less than 50 percent of their hair get up to 50 percent off their food.

The real thing — a totally hairless head — will fetch a clean 100 percent off.

What can I do about those hair-transplant scars?

Dear Bald Guy

I had 4 transplant operations when I was in my early 20's and now I’m 31 and wish I never did. I have spent close to $20,000 on my hair loss between the transplants and the 5 or 6 different hair systems I have tried. I’m currently wearing one and can’t stand it anymore. I am at the point where I would rather shave my head bald but can’t because of the scars. What can I do? I’m at the end of all this and cant stand it anymore! This has controlled my life and I am going broke. Please email me back with any information you may have about this.
Thank you,
Anthony

MESSAGE FROM AN HCM EMPLOYEE

As a HCM employee, all their clients should know that HCM will cancel your "agreement" (they don't call it a contract), 30 days following a written notice by you. You do not need to wait until your "contract" expires! As far as the over priced initial fees to join their membership...good luck, it all depends on the State your in. Usually threatening to go to the media with your story will get you somewhere. They don't want potential customers to know the truth and bad press cost them more. Also, as far as tipping the stylist, HCM pays low, low wages. The only way stylist are going to stay there, and clients have some consistency of the same person doing their hair, is to take care of them. My suggestion: take a week or two off work, get out the clippers and razor, get that thing off, shave your head, get a bit of sun and fresh air on your head. Relax... once you return to work, people will notice the new you. Most of them knew you wore a hairpiece and will think your new look is sooo much better. A week later nobody will notice. Good Luck!

PAINLESS LASER TREATMENTS

One of our members just informed us that his laser treatment to permanently remove the hair on his head was painless. His doctor at the laser treatment center gave him a prescription for a numbing cream comprised of a lydocaine and tetracaine mix (2.5-5.0% of each). So if you have been holding off on lasering your noggin for fear of the pain, this numbing cream may be your ticket to throwing away your razor. Before you get lasered, always make sure that your doctor has successfully lasered heads before. One of our members didn't verify the technician's qualifications and ended up with 2nd degree burns on his head.

Hair transplants? What the doctors don’t tell you!

A letter of personal experience from Carl from Lahaina, Hawaii.

Guys if you are thinking about getting a hair transplant, think long and hard about it! The things most of these doctors don’t tell you is that your hair is going to keep receding behind the transplant area and that you never know how far back it is going to go. You will wind up taking the Propecia and Rogaine cocktail for the rest of your life unless you are willing to let nature takes its course. When you let nature take over you wind up loosing a lot of the hair behind your implants, which can make your head look pretty strange. You will become a prisoner to your implants and actually go through loosing your hair twice: once, before the implants, and then later, as your hairline recedes behind the implants.

Tony, I'm 41 years old and started to go bald at the age of 20 at the age of 28 I got a hair piece, with the help of your web site I shaved my head and now I'm done with the "fake hair thing"; I'm in a leadership roll at work and I always had to worry about how I looked - if it looked bad (fake) some people knew others did not, so now I know it looks correct!!! Now I can think about the things that really count!!! I found that wearing a hairpiece took away from my life; if there are hairpiece wearers out there they know what I'm talking about. After shaving my head my wife actually likes it. Gee, now if going to have extra money now I can really spend it on something that may go up in value Thanks for helping in the decision.

God says there's nothing wrong with Hair Loss:

"When a man has lost his hair and is bald, he is clean. If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean."
Leviticus 13:40,41

The Bible is also has a warning for those who mock or jeer the bald:

"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" [24] He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths." [2 Kings 2:23-24]

We're proud of you Rudy
for abandoning your comb over!

After long providing himself a little cover, Rudy Giuliani is finally facing facts about his hairline. ((Left) AP File; (Right) Suzanne Plunkett - Pool via Reuters)

With Rudy, Less Becomes Much More
By Robin Givhan
Washington Post Staff Writer

The world's most famous comb-over has vanished. New York's former mayor Rudy Giuliani has at last given in to baldness, allowing his naked scalp to rise -- unashamed -- from a ring of smooth, graying fringe.

The public debut of this more flattering hairstyle was Tuesday, at his mother's funeral in Brooklyn. But his unabashed baldness was revealed to the wider world on Wednesday, when Giuliani made a series of television appearances and read from the list of the dead at the memorial ceremony held at the World Trade Center site.

The comb-over was no more unattractive on Giuliani than it is on the legions of men who use it in an attempt to conceal the obvious. Read the rest of this story at the Washington Post.

Regarding Rogaine, Transplants and Rugs

One member wrote:
I am 24 years old and set to be married to a gorgeous, wonderful woman in just 6 months. At the age of 18 I began thinning over my entire head. After a bad reaction to Rogaine, I turned to a hair transplant at only 19 years old. I now realize it was the biggest mistake of my life. The transplanted hair was positioned all the way in the front of my head and I feel that it looks ridiculous, not to mention the fact that the hair is also very thin and brittle. I very much want to shave my head but the scar is very noticeable.

Another member wrote:
I tried Propecia and Rogaine to no avail. My last resort was the Hair Club for Men. That lasted 3 weeks. To anyone considering hair club it is nothing more than a wig glued on to you head and it does not even stick well and a girl can definitely feel it if she runs her fingers through it, and forget swimming.
