For the longest time I've been looking into having my transplant scars( from 3 surgeries) camouflaged. But decided in another 15 years I may feel like I made another mistake.I've been wanting to shave my head for the longest time as I continue it thin out on top. About a month ago I finally built up the courage tO say f it and shaved my head. I went to the barber and waited 5 minutes outside before I could get my nerve up to go in. I usually shave my head with a number 4 guard myself but Figured the only way I would ever do it if I went to someone else. After she shaved my head ( buzzer no guard) she asked me if I knew I had a scar back here. I told her what it was from and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. Finally I told someone other than my family. And I keep telling people, I am sick of trying to fix a big mistake I did over 15 years ago. I just want to live my life and not care what people think. This may not be for everyone and I'd be lying if I said it was easy but I feel everyday it will get easier. I I just wanted to post this because I have gotten a lot of useful info on this website and wanted to give support to anyone who feels like they are in the same boat. Because my hair is black my scars are very noticeable. I am not saying all transplants are bad,i it just didn't work out for me. I just wish I hadn't intervened in my own hairloss. This is something that I feel I had to do to move on...

Hi hairthere, where are you at with your training with beauty med? Do you still plan on opening in NY?

I'm in the same boat as you. Personally I'm leaning toward temp micropigmentation on the scar only. No more surgery for me. I've contacted a couple companies it's just hard to trust anybody after going through the hair transplant process.There is a guy on here who may be opening a place for temp mp soon. HisHair has a pretty good forum. The whitney center looks like they may do good work but when I asked if I could speak to the person who would be doing the actually procedure they would not let me. I want to try something temp, before I go permanent. Wish I could shave it all today, just to damn insecure about the scar!

Thanks for the info hairthere. When did you think you would be opening in ny?

Come to the u.s.!

Thanks. I've been doing a great deal of research. I was hit that I could get in touch with someone who actually had it done. Was going to get a recommendation.

Guess I save my pennies and go to Italy for this. Not much help gere

It's flat and not red. Don't really know if I want to go to a " new" business. Was hoping to get feedback on an existing clinic.

I have a long scar from a couple of transplant I had over 15 years ago. I really want to hide the scar by micropigmentation. I see some good results and pretty bad results on line but wanted to know if anyone could recommend someone in the northeast. I want to shave my head to stubble. I shaved my head a few years ago and the scar was very noticeable. Thankfully I did it before a long vacation. Any recommendations would be helpful! I'm new here.
