Hello, I have a small amount of hair loss around my frontal lobe area that is now getting noticeable. I am about to go for Advanced Hair and their 'membrane' attachment. They have told me they last anything from 6 - 12 months. This seems a fairly short time. Can anyone with a similar thing let me know how they are getting on with theirs?

Points I want to know are

Do you get a sweaty or greasy forehead? Is it irritating to wear?
How long has yours lasted so far?
Are you happy with it?
How much per year in maintenance does it cost you would you say?

And finally, would you recommend it to others?

My nearest Advanced Hair studio is Bromley (nr London) where i am having the procedure done.

thanks

Advanced Hair Studios are con artists, they have ripped off countless individuals around the world, I went to them and was able to get away without spending money, just...... I was a NW1 at the time and they were still willing to glue the "membrane" to my head.

Please don't tell us thst you have put a deposit down?

There are people on here that are Advanced Hair Studio victims, if they see this they will respond. Don't waste youe money please.

Please do not go to Advanced hair studio, kindly see the previous threads relating to horrible rip-off experiences with advanced hair studio. They are a company with a black mark and under the government radar. Be warned.

This article has been published in the ACCC website.

Narnia Investments Pty Ltd (Narnia) and its sole director, Mr Simon Clarke (Mr Clarke), have provided a s87B Undertaking to the ACCC in conjunction with the settlement of civil court proceedings taken against them by the ACCC.

Narnia and Mr Clarke were found by the Federal Court to have engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct pursuant to section 52 of the Trade Practices Act.

Injunctions were imposed by the Federal Court against Narnia and Mr Clarke.

Mr Clarke was also ordered to undertake trade practices law compliance training.

The conduct concerned Narnia (which formerly controlled Advanced Hair Studio in Hobart) and Mr Clarke making false and misleading representations regarding a vulnerable consumer's right under his contract with Advanced Hair Studio Hobart to terminate the contract and obtain a refund of his deposit monies.

Under the terms of the consumer's $15,500 hair replacement contract with Advanced Hair Studio Hobart, the consumer was entitled to terminate his contract and to receive a refund of his deposit monies in circumstances where no hair treatment had actually commenced.

The s87B Undertaking provided by Narnia and Mr Clarke requires them to pay the affected consumer the $5,000 balance of $10,000 damages previously agreed between the ACCC and Mr Clarke ($5,000 has already been paid) and to refund the consumer his $1,800 deposit.

The Undertaking also requires Narnia and Mr Clarke to pay the ACCC's legal costs in the sum of $12,785

Agree with the above post. You've been warned! Don't go

Stay away from places like Advanced Hair Studios ,as has been mentioned above, they and other so called salons use clever marketing tricks to con,yes, con you out of thousands of pounds for something you can getter better elsewhere for a whole lot less!!
And believe me the quality you can get elsewhere for a lot less dosh is very much achievable easily!
Hair membrane? LOL!!
It is simply French lace,not even Swiss lace which is even thinner.

Hi

I have been researching for so long when it comes to hair replacement systems as I lost my hair about 11 years ago.

In my opinion there are many systems out there that are very detectable, some pretty good and only very few are great.

I have been using a new thing for 3 months by Total Cover Plus. They say that it is an artificial skin with pores and all the atributes of real skin. In this they implant hair. It is not lace. I know that a lot of people say that this is only stupid talk BUT........

..... I have to say nevertheless what the technical stuff behind it is and what people think of the development. It is the best thing I have ever used. I don't feel it when it is on my head. It stays on there for about 6-7 weeks. I can shower and sleep in it, i can do sports (basketball and gym) and sauna. It feels always as if it was my own hair and I can live my life as if I had hair. After 6-7 weeks I go to the salon and I get a new system + a new hair cut. It's a bit the way it used to be when I went to the hair dressers to get my hair cut every 1 or 2 month.
On top of these things it's a really good price compared to these toupee places. You pay for every system sperately. They offered a trial system for only 149 to give me the chance to try it.

I'm simply amazed and after the experience with different companies and different products I can only say that I have never had a more real looking, convenient and comfortable(I don't feel that it is there) hair replacement product.

You can decide for yourself and I don't try to talk anyone into it as I believe that everybody is different and that different people might like different things. But I think this is the solution for me.

Darrensol, what you are talking about is an ordinary skin system that is available elsewhere really.
A couple of questions for you and the company.
I play sports weekly if not daily ,go for saunas, swim, shower daily, sleep in my system, wear my hair brushed back exposing a very natural hairline, can sweat quite freely without affecting the bond, have never been busted and even the closest of friends do not know or even guess that i wear, all for the price of ?220 for a custom made Remi hair system that can last me easily 5 months before replacement! Compaired to what?
On the subject of your scalp breathing,how is that achievable when your scalp is covered in adhesive?
It doesn't matter if there are thousands of tiny hole in the skin that is then rendered useless when it is placed upon your scalp when it is covered in adhesive?
I would really like to know how that is at all possable?
In fact it could be the medical breakthrough that the medical profession has been waiting for all these regarding prosthetics!
How is it different from a toupee? Please bear in mind what a toupee is and the definition of a toupee!
The site says that toupees are heavy and not breathable?
Really?
That was the case in the 70's and 80's but today?
I think you and the company should have another look at what is out there regarding undetectable,lightweight breathable systems,but i suspect you already know the truth on that matter?
Why have something glued to your head for up to 7 weeks?
Not only is it totally unhygenic but totally unhealthy for your scalp also.
The most people should go for with any bond is 1 week, or 2 weeks if pushed once in a while such as vacations etc..
Ask any reputable doctor or skin specialist.
So a custom system is ready for you when you enter the salon?
Can i surmise that they are premade stock pieces that are generic in colour density etc.. that are then cut to size to match the customer?
Compaired to having a unique template made to your head shape and bald area coupled with exact colour match and texture match of your hair, density areas matched and then having it custom made for you that matches you exactly in colour,texture and various density around your head area to closely match and blend with your own hair that is unique to you and you alone.
Maybe that is why other places can make you wait for up to 8 weeks as the system has to be hand made and crafted to your own specifications?
It is not called custom for nothing you know!
And guess what you can even get the highest quality human hair?Shocked?

I could go on and on.... but basically the website for the skin systems is just clever marketing with a play on words but having been a wearer of hair for over 10 years, i have tried and looked at many, many systems offered out there, including this one which originates from Germany i believe, and it really is no different to what you can get elsewhere that can and often do last a lot longer than 7-8 weeks!

So the marketing blurb might convince new hair wearers to part with a lot of dosh over a year for something that they can get for a lot cheaper elsewhere without the clever marketing play of words.

My message to all hair wearers or potential hair wearers, by all means look at this company and what it offers but do look at the other options out there before parting with any cash and think very carefully about it's claims.
I and others await answers to my questions.
Thank you!
