Hi guys - just had a system fitted.
Wanted to speak about my experience as it was this forum that got me to contact Paul Anthony.
Hair has been thinning for some time and i've been using nanogen fibres to cover the bald patches but of course as time goes on I found i'm using more fibres.
So spoke with Paul a few weeks ago, I live in wales so made the drive to see him.
Nice bloke to be fair felt comfortable with him, he explained that he is no longer with Total Plus and that he's using his own system.
Did the cover match and template there and then which though was great as there was no guarantee I was going to come back.
We spoke about what style I wanted and I said I wanted to how I had it already, I've always had it short and spiked up at the front due to it being thin.
I mentioned that i'm on holiday soon and he said that he would try and get the system in earlier.
A week later (yesterday) made the drive up, stayed over night to see Paul today.
So today I had it fitted.
Mixed feelings, the colour was blonde, and my hair is medium brown so that was a concern!
He said that it would darken with products on... Anyway sat me down and shaved off a line on my head where the system is going.
That was horrfic still a bit upset about it, seeing that strip of nothing...
Anyway he put on the system, throughout he was explaining the process about how to reapply, some time after, cutting, shaving, styling, etc, paul said that the colour was too light, so he added a colour to the system to make it more brown like my natural colour.
He did that free of charge too, I was very impressed with the way it looked, however it's just too thick, and when in the salon you get a bit carried away, but soon as I got to my car I just felt really disheartened
It's just too thick, my other half has said it looks great, really suits me, etc, although was surprised at the thickness as was under the impression that the first system would be, well more subtle.
Back in Wales and i don't know what to do, paid ?388, part of me wants to take it off but I have a bald strip on my head.
Im worried about explaining this to friends, work colleagues, don't get me wrong I don't thibk it's noticeable at all, to a stranger, but to people who know me and I work with it looks obvious.
Plus my head is already really itchy.
Anyway that's my experience on day 1.
