Hair Loss Success Stories

In high school, Adrian was known as the handsome and well-spoken guy who loved to act. With a commanding stage presence, he had a way of becoming the character and keeping his classmates transfixed. Pursuing a career in acting and modeling seemed the natural choice. But, in his senior year of high school, he noticed his hairline starting to recede. 

Adrian’s hair loss progressed at an alarming rate. He knew thinning hair would limit the roles he could get and he became concerned about how his hair loss would affect his career. Adrian didn’t want to be known as the 18-year-old with hair loss, so he started using commonly sold retail products to hide his thinning areas. 

Unfortunately, this was not a perfect solution. “It was a hassle and involved so much maintenance and time,” said Adrian. “Plus, I constantly worried about my hair getting wet or someone touching it. It was a mess.”

For the next ten years, Adrian relied on retail products and hats to camouflage his worsening hair loss. He became more and more unhappy with how he looked and eventually avoided mirrors altogether. Adrian said he was always the kind of guy who looked forward, not backward. Ultimately, he knew he needed to find a better solution.  

The final push he needed came when some of his co-workers noticed he was covering his thinning hair. “Suddenly, I was thrown into an environment where people were talking openly about my hair loss. It was hard to hear, but it was what I needed,” said Adrian.

After seeing a Hair Club commercial on television, Adrian decided to schedule his free consultation. At his appointment with a hair loss expert, he felt embarrassed when he had to remove his hat, revealing the extent of his hair loss. But, his consultant quickly put him at ease. She explained his options and educated him on the hair restoration process. “There were so many solutions for every type of hair loss,” said Adrian. “I would’ve never known that many options exist if I didn’t go to my consultation.”

Adrian knew immediately that Hair Club was right for him and, with guidance from his consultant, chose the hair loss solution that fit his level of hair loss. When he returned for his follow-up appointment, he said it felt like Christmas came early. His stylist worked closely with him to ensure he got just the look he wanted. When he finally saw his reflection in the mirror, “I lit up like a kid with a brand-new toy,” he said.  

Four years later, Adrian is still a Hair Club client and can’t stop talking about how much he loves his hair. His confidence and self-esteem have skyrocketed because he looks and feels younger. “I look at myself in the mirror and I like what I see,” he said. “I don’t think about my hair anymore. Now, all those little things I used to worry about are gone.” 

As a working actor and model in Los Angeles, having a full head of hair again helps Adrian get cast in a wider range of roles. He’s no longer relegated to playing older parts. And, with his newfound self-assurance, Adrian has noticed a positive change in the way his co-workers, who used to talk about his hair loss, now interact with him. “When you feel good about yourself, other people want to be around you,” said Adrian. “You become a force of positive energy. I’ve really unleashed my inner charm that was hiding when I was going bald.”

When asked what he would tell people who are considering Hair Club, Adrian said, “If you’re curious about Hair Club, you’re curious for a reason. Get over that initial hump and make the call.”

School, friends and dating—these are the thoughts that occupy the mind of a typical teenager. Nikita, however, had something else to worry about. At the young age of 18, she started losing her hair. “I had a medical condition that required me to take massive doses of an antibiotic,” said Nikita. “The medication affected my skin, my nails and my hair. It was especially difficult because usually, when people think of women from India, they think of long, beautiful and thick hair. That wasn’t me anymore.”

At first, Nikita was able to manage her hair loss with creative styling techniques, but the thinning still bothered her constantly. She tried using different retail products to help hide her hair loss, but they were messy and got all over her clothes. To conceal her thinning hair, Nikita avoided standing near bright lights whenever possible. She went on like this for years. 

In her profession as a personal trainer, Nikita worked with clients every day to help them look and feel their best. But, for Nikita, looking and feeling her best wasn’t an achievable goal. Hair loss always got in the way. “I kept myself fit, I wore nice outfits, I put a little makeup on and I looked pretty,” said Nikita. “But, then there was my hair.”

More recently, Nikita noticed her hair loss worsening. All the effort she used to put into covering her thinning hair was no longer helping, because now she had actual bald spots. Nikita always wondered if she might have to try wearing wigs, but she banished the thought. They were hot and ill-suited for her line of work, which required a high level of activity in the sweaty, humid environment of a gym. “What I thought I could manage was suddenly becoming unmanageable, and my hair loss really started to affect my life,” said Nikita. She didn’t know where to turn for help until her best friend sent her a link to Hair Club’s website. 

Nikita didn’t know anything about Hair Club, but she felt some hope for her situation after looking at the before-and-after images of other clients on the website. Still, Nikita had many questions that needed answers. That’s when she decided to call and make an appointment for her one-on-one consultation. 

Even though she was skeptical heading into her first visit, the staff made her feel at home and her hair loss expert provided all the information she needed to make the right decision for herself. It didn’t take long for Nikita to become a client. Today, she recommends Hair Club to anyone dealing with hair loss. 

“My confidence level is way up,” said Nikita. “Now, I see people noticing my hair, not because it’s thinning, but because they think it looks great. I get compliments on my hair all the time.” 

Nikita encourages any skeptics to give Hair Club a call. “If your hair loss is bothering you, you should do something about it,” she said. “There is no harm in making an appointment. My only regret is that I didn’t come to Hair Club sooner.”

When Bret began losing his hair in his early 20s, it had a huge impact on his self-esteem. He avoided having his picture taken and he never looked down for fear people would see his bald spot. Bret tried to conceal his hair loss by cutting his hair short and buying a variety of hats. But, by the time he reached the age of 30, his confidence level was at an all-time low. He was unhappy with both his weight and his hair loss, so he decided it was time to make a change. 

Bret started eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. He joined a healthy living program and his confidence began to grow as he lost weight and gained muscle. After becoming a coach in the program, Bret began traveling around the country to conduct seminars and meet new clients. He had a great job, a healthy body and was feeling better about himself, but he still struggled with thinning hair. “It was so frustrating. I started working out and I could change my body, but there was nothing I could do about my hair,” said Bret.

He was searching for answers to overcome this final hurdle in becoming his best self when one of his colleagues mentioned Hair Club. Bret did a little research and decided to make an appointment. At his one-on-one consultation with a hair loss expert, he was impressed by what he heard. But, what really won him over was seeing real people get real results. He became a client, and in a matter of weeks, Bret had a full head of hair again. 

“It was easy and my hair looked great. Restoring my hair really boosted my confidence and gave me back the pep in my step that I’d been missing,” said Bret. 

One of the things Bret loves about Hair Club is having his own personal stylist. They work together to try out different styles, keeping his look current. “I get compliments every day on my hair and I love being able to do different things with it,” said Bret. “I look and feel so much younger. In fact, many people think I’m in my 20s, even though I’m in my 30s.”

Bret likes to share his personal story with other people who are struggling with hair loss. He understands how making that first appointment for a consultation can be hard, but he encourages people to give Hair Club a try. “I’m glad I went in for a consultation, because it worked for me,” said Bret. “I’m a walking billboard for Hair Club because it gave me back my hair.”

When Fiona was in college, she noticed her hair getting thinner and her part widening. At first, it wasn’t that obvious. But, by her late 20s, Fiona’s hair loss had progressed to the point where others started to notice. 

Fiona recalls being at a family gathering and standing next to her brother-in-law, who is tall. He looked down at the top of her head and asked what was going on with her hair. Fiona was mortified. 

From that day forward, Fiona found creative ways to hide her hair loss. In social situations, she positioned herself so no one could stand close enough to look down on her head. When she went to the gym or pool, she always wore a baseball hat and she never went for a walk on a windy day. Fiona tried changing her hairstyle and using volumizing shampoos, but none of these efforts helped. In her heart, she knew she was losing her hair, and her self-esteem plummeted.  

“Everything I was doing to camouflage my hair loss wasn’t working,” said Fiona. “The breaking point came when even my future son-in-law commented on how sparse my hair had become. That was the final straw.” 

Spurred to action, Fiona went online and found the phone number for Hair Club. She called and scheduled her private, one-on-one consultation with a hair loss expert. At her appointment, the consultant educated Fiona about hair loss and what her options were. Fiona learned that because of her level of hair loss, she was a good candidate for Xtrands. That meant Fiona could have thicker, fuller hair in just one day. She felt skeptical, but she was ready for a change and decided to take the plunge. Fiona became a Hair Club client and scheduled her first styling appointment. “I walked into the center with thin, fine hair and walked out with beautiful, thick hair,” she said. 

Fiona couldn’t wait to show her new look to her husband. She wanted to surprise him with the results, so she scheduled her first visit while he was away. When he came home, he said she looked stunning. 

“I couldn’t stop looking in the mirror. I could finally style my hair the way I did when I was younger and I could do anything I wanted, whether it was going for a swim or to workout at the gym,” said Fiona. “But, most importantly, my confidence was back.” 

Her new look made her feel more comfortable at social gatherings and her friends and family commented on how much happier she seemed. Fiona even started posing for pictures with her family, instead of always being the one who takes the pictures. That’s something she never did when she was experiencing hair loss.

“Deciding to become a Hair Club client was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” said Fiona. If she could send a message to everyone who is skeptical about restoring their hair, it would be, “Don’t wait another day, do something about it! Hair Club has given me back my sense of femininity and my confidence. I feel like a million bucks!”

Blair always led an active life. But, at the age of 29, he started to lose his hair and it began impacting his lifestyle and self-esteem. He avoided going out as much as he used to, and when he did, he wore hats to hide his hair loss. When Blair was forced to stand in line or be in a crowded area, he worried about who was behind him, staring at his thinning hair. 

“I’m too young for this,” said Blair. “By the time I turned 31, my hair loss was really noticeable and I got more and more self-conscious about it.” He felt like his hair loss made him look ten years older, and it made him uncomfortable talking to women. 

Having to deal with hair loss at a young age made Blair anxious. “When you see a girl you’d like to talk to, you just stand back because you don’t want to put yourself out there,” he said. “I was really insecure, especially trying to ask women out on dates. I thought all they’d see is my hair loss.”

He tried everything to cover up his thinning hair. “I let it grow and tried combing it over, but I wasn’t thrilled with that,” he said. After wearing hats and hoodies wherever he could—and even trying to pull off a shaved head for a while—Blair just wanted to be able to have the style and length of his choice. It was time to take action.

Blair started researching surgical hair restoration. Initially, he was hesitant at the thought of making such a big decision. He wondered if the process would be difficult and whether his active lifestyle would cause his hair to fall out again. He also worried that his hair loss had progressed to the point where the results might not look natural. 

After talking to friends and family about restoring his hair, Blair’s father was the one who really encouraged him to seek a solution. Blair took control, made the call and set up his free, one-on-one consultation. 

At his appointment, Blair saw before-and-after photos of actual clients and his consultant walked him through the entire hair restoration process. He knew this was the answer he was looking for and decided to move forward. When he returned for his procedure, it was completed in a matter of hours with minimal discomfort. 

When Blair started to see little hairs growing where he hadn’t seen hair for years, he couldn’t believe it. “It felt like a mixture of relief, excitement and joy,” said Blair. “I would’ve restored my hair sooner if I realized the whole process was going to be so easy.” 

Blair’s hair grew and got thicker as time passed. Today, he couldn’t be more thrilled with his results. “The impossible has happened! I have a full head of hair again and it’s been one of the greatest feelings of my life,” said Blair. “This is what I am supposed to look like.” 

He loves the new level of self-assurance he has now. “I’m not afraid to go up and talk to people,” he said. “When I’m outside, I’m not worried about getting in the water anymore. It’s very freeing.” Blair no longer feels like he needs to wear a hat and isn’t concerned when someone stands behind him. “But the best thing about having a full head of hair, to me, is the confidence,” he said. “My dating life is much better now.” 

Blair says his hair makes him feel younger. “It’s better than I could’ve possibly imagined,” he said. “It’s my own hair—it’s me.”

In his early 20s, Lavon noticed his hair was thinning on top and that his hairline was starting to recede. At first, he said he didn’t feel like it was a big deal, but as time passed, his hair loss progressed. Like many men, Lavon hid his hair loss by wearing hats. He even bought one in every color to match all his outfits. His hats became part of his everyday look and he wore them both at work and on weekends. 

“The hats made it easy to cover up my hair loss, which was good in the short term. But, the downside is that they allowed me to ignore my hair loss problem for a long time,” said Lavon. “Just like a lot of other men, I became accustomed to wearing hats all the time and not having to think about my hair loss.”

Lavon’s thinning hair really began to impact his self-esteem when he changed professions and could no longer wear a hat to work. From the first day at his new job, Lavon felt very uncomfortable. “I felt like my hair loss made me look older than I was,” said Lavon. “I thought I was too young to be losing my hair.”

The insecurity he felt at work finally spurred him to take action. Lavon began searching for hair loss products, but the available options were discouraging. “I was losing hope,” he said. That is, until he discovered Hair Club. 

Lavon recalls seeing a Hair Club commercial on television. “I called that same night,” he said. “That call changed my life.” 

Lavon went to his free consultation with a hair loss expert. There, he learned that his level of hair loss made him an ideal candidate for Hair Club’s EXT Extreme Hair Therapy® solution, which includes the only FDA-approved topical treatment clinically proven to regrow hair and slow the progression of hair loss. He became a client that day. 

After ignoring his hair loss for so long, Lavon knew getting his hair back would require a commitment. As Lavon moved through the EXT® program, over time, he noticed less hair in the shower drain and in his comb. Within a few months, he was excited to see new hair growing where he had previously seen none. Lavon is now thrilled to report that his commitment to the EXT program paid off—in the form of growing his hair back.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Lavon. “I can run my hands through it. I can pull on it. It’s my hair. My hair grew back!” 

Lavon has been a Hair Club client since 2011 and he’s never looked back. Today, Lavon only wears hats when he wants to. And best of all, he enjoys a whole new level of confidence at work—and in life. Lavon shares his story to help others who feel powerless when it comes to hair loss. “I had lost all hope in the beginning, but Hair Club gave me a reason to hope. It changed my life.”

As an entrepreneur, Harshil says there are three keys to his success in business: hard work, thorough research and making a positive first impression. When his hairline began to recede, he felt he could no longer make a good first impression. Harshil was concerned about how his thinning hair would impact his business. He tried concealing his hair loss by changing his hair style and wearing hats. At first, it worked—even his family didn’t realize he was going bald.

Eventually, though, Harshil’s hair loss became too obvious to hide. He decided to approach his hair loss problem the same way he approaches his business. First, he would do meticulous research, then he would take decisive action. Harshil was familiar with Hair Club because he had seen the commercials on television, but he had always wondered if it was too good to be true. He wanted to learn more about Hair Club so he read online reviews, searched Hair Club’s website and examined all the before-and-after photos of other clients who had similar patterns of hair loss. Harshil still had some questions, so he decided to make an appointment for an in-person consultation to learn more about his options. “I decided to give Hair Club—and myself—a chance,” said Harshil. 

He was very impressed by his first visit to Hair Club. The staff was professional and he appreciated the in-depth hair loss information that his consultant provided. He was fortunate enough to meet real clients at his appointment and that’s when he knew the before-and-after photos he had viewed online were authentic. He felt confident Hair Club had the right solution for him, so he became a client. Within just weeks, Harshil had a full head of hair again.

“It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” said Harshil. “Hair Club gave my confidence the boost it needed, and it was so easy. I really can’t live without it.” 

Today, Hair Club is an integral part of Harshil’s life. Having thicker, fuller hair makes him feel more confident at business meetings and while entertaining clients. He’s also developed a special bond with his Hair Club stylist and feels like she’s part of his family. 

Harshil loves being a Hair Club client because his hair is easy to maintain and he can change his style as often as he wants. “It’s my hair. It’s a part of me,” he said. 

When asked how he would rate his Hair Club experience, Harshil’s answer was immediate, “Five stars! Hair Club is a five-star organization that provides five-star service to its clients.”

If you asked Lori to describe her favorite thing to do, she would say standing in the warm sun on a sandy shoreline, with a gentle breeze blowing through her hair. She loves the beach and she loves swimming. But, five years ago, Lori stopped experiencing life to the fullest because she noticed her hair was thinning and even worse, her hairline was receding. 

At first, her hair loss was gradual, but it didn’t take long for it to get to the point where she couldn’t hide it anymore. She stopped going to the beach for fear the sun would shine through her hair, exposing her scalp, or the breeze might blow and reveal her thinning areas. She also quit swimming because having wet hair made it look even thinner. 

Lori’s hair loss also began to impact her career. She works in sales in the hotel industry and travels often to attend meetings and visit properties. She wanted to feel confident and look her best, but her thinning hair was holding her back. “When I looked in the mirror, I saw someone who looked so much older. I didn’t recognize myself anymore,” said Lori.  

That’s when she started searching for a solution. At first, Lori tried topical treatments, but didn’t get the results she wanted. Next, she went to a salon that claimed to specialize in hair loss. The salon suggested she get hair extensions, and even though she knew it was only a temporary solution, Lori decided to give it a try. 

The extensions hid her problem temporarily, but weren’t effective as her hair loss worsened. Lori never let anyone touch her hair because she worried her secret would be discovered. Her hair loss was the source of a lot of stress, and she became very self-conscious. 

Lori’s hair loss soon progressed to the point where there wasn’t enough hair left to attach the extensions. That’s when she realized she needed to find a better, lasting solution. “One day you just wake up and realize you have to do something about your hair loss. I had to find a real, permanent solution,” she said.

Lori heard about Hair Club from a friend and decided to give it a try. At her first appointment, she felt right at home. She was impressed by all the solutions available and by how much hair loss information was provided. Lori worked closely with her Image Consultant to come up with the perfect hairstyle. She loved having long hair and she wanted to swim, work out and be active without worrying about her hair. Together, they made her dream come true. 

“The solution Hair Club provided is so much easier to maintain than extensions,” said Lori. “I just wash, dry and go. It’s so natural looking, no one can tell. And now, I love when my boyfriend touches my hair.”

Lori says her new, younger look boosted her self-esteem and changed her life. “It’s hard to put into words what Hair Club has done for me,” she said. “Before Hair Club, I never had a good hair day. Now, every day is a good hair day.”

Whether she’s working out at the gym or running drills with her squad as an army reserve officer, Lisa takes charge and lives life to the fullest. She is a strong, accomplished woman who loves to look and feel her best no matter what she’s doing. 

At the young age of 32, Lisa began a very personal and private battle with hair loss. She always had thin hair, but she was surprised to find a balding area on the very top of her head. As a longtime user of hair relaxers, she blamed herself, thinking her hair loss was caused by the chemicals. To conceal her thinning hair, Lisa initially tried wearing braids, but the thinning area just kept getting bigger. Eventually, she turned to weaves and even wigs. As her hair loss continued to worsen, Lisa knew her efforts were only masking her problem, so she sought a better solution. 

“When I was in training or working out at the gym, I would sweat, and sometimes, my weave would shift,” said Lisa. “The glue often smelled, so I never felt comfortable. It added extra stress and felt like a burden.”

Lisa went to a dermatologist to find out the cause of her hair loss, and to seek a solution. The doctor did an exam and told her the hair loss was due to alopecia totalis, a form of alopecia areata thought to be caused by an autoimmune condition. Alopecia totalis is characterized by the complete loss of scalp hair. This condition meant Lisa wasn’t a good candidate for surgical hair restoration. Although she was relieved to find out why she was losing her hair, she was disappointed that she’d need to continue wearing weaves and wigs. 

“If you’re called for active duty, you generally have a short window to get everything in order. I often worried about my hair loss situation and potentially being gone for months,” said Lisa. “I even considered leaving the military if I couldn’t find a better answer.” 

Her answer finally came one day in the form of a friend’s recommendation. Lisa thought her friend’s hair looked great and wondered if it was more than just a stylish haircut. When she asked, Lisa’s friend confessed that she was a Hair Club client. Lisa was surprised because she had always thought Hair Club was just for men. She was excited at the possibility of a new solution and made an appointment right away.

When Lisa first arrived at her Hair Club center, a hair loss expert brought her to a private room to discuss her solution options. Having a private space in which to talk about a very personal issue helped Lisa feel more comfortable. She had never let anyone see her without her weave or wig, so privacy was of the utmost importance. Lisa remembers the hair loss expert asking her what she hoped to achieve through Hair Club and her answer was simple, “I just want to be able to do the things I love—serve my country and work out without the extra stress of worrying about my hair.” 

After learning more about hair loss and which proven solution would work best for her needs, Lisa became a Hair Club client. Even now, Lisa is thrilled to talk about how much she loves her stylist and her hair loss solution. She said the best part is that she can shampoo and style her hair normally and she no longer worries about her hair when she works out. But most of all, she loves the way her hair makes her feel.  

Lisa is happy that her hair doesn’t feel like a big deal anymore. Now, she can get ready to go out quickly and loves all the compliments she receives. “I finally feel comfortable. I have confidence in who I am and I don’t panic when I think about being deployed or just going out for the evening,” said Lisa. “Hair Club is the second-best decision I have made in my life—the first is my husband.”
