irishsailor: I think I'm going to forget about Bosley, seems like there are too many people with bad experiences there. I'd like to try Hasson and Wong, but b/c of price am going to take another look at Shapiro before making a decision. scar5: I'm definitely going to get on propecia and rogaine asap to slow and hopefully halt the progression of my hair loss. As for scarring, if I wear my hair longer couldn't I cover up the scars? FUE would be great, but I'm going to be paying quite a bit for school. I tried just shaving but it looks a bit strange b/c hair loss aside I look young for my age.

Hi, new here: So I'm 23 years old and within the next year or two am going back to school where I'll be working/living with 18-22 year olds. Over the last three years, I've become very self-conscious about my hair. Anyways, I've conducted extensive research online to try to determine what my costs will be. Thus far I'm seriously considering Hasson and Wong, Dr. Shapiro, or Bosleys. There seems to be a huge difference in the # of grafts Bosley recommends for class IV (~1500) and the # people have gotten in the pics on Hasson/Wong website. I'm hoping to not spend more than 9k but can go up to 14k. I know I need to get a consultation somewhere to figure out costs but in the meantime some advice would be great. If you look at the attachment of my hairline, i'm hoping to have hair transplanted from the hairline forward without making the the hair present on top denser than it is now. I know there are a lot of variables, but what kind of results can/should I expect in my budget range. Also, I'm hoping to go to school 13 months from now, is that enough time for the hair to properly grow? Should I get a megasession somewhere? If it would help I'd also be happy to attach more pics, perhaps one with an outline of where I'm hoping for hair growth. Thanks, Thom
