         What happened at Hair Club for Men?

Our visit.

My husband and I visited Hair Club for Men for a free consultaion, they had an office close by and we thought what the heck. After the assesment they offered us a package of hair care products to use for X amount of time. While using these products you are to be reassesed peridically where they take photos and what not for your personal file. Then after so much time has passed they give a prescrption for Propecia. I can't remember exactly what the membership cost was but after a student discount and the "if you accept today" discount I believe it was somewhere in the ballpark of $1200.00-$1500.00 plus monthly fees for product. (The cost of Propecia is additional $70.00 per month) My husband was so caught up in the idea of his hair growing back that he accepted. I left with a knot in my stomach....we didn't have that kind of money to spend on hair. I don't doubt that their formula works, I just can't afford it. If you ask me, when you buy the membership you are not only paying for the product, you are also paying for their infomercials and fancy office buildings etc. Thats just my opinion. Hair Club for Men also offers other solutions which all depend on your analysis that consists of viewing your scalp under a microscope on a tv monitor.

Nioxin

What is Nioxin?

After returning home with a knot in my stomach I called my mother who I should mention is a licensed cosmetologist to tell her what we had done. She recommended to us NIOXIN. "What is Nioxin?", I asked her. Nioxin is a product used to grow and maintain thinning hair. There are eight different NIOXIN® Scalp and Hair Care Systems designed to help improve the appearance of thinning hair. In order to create and maintain an optimal scalp environment, each System is formulated to achieve maximum results for your specific hair type. Use this link to find your hair type. http://www.nioxin.com/en/assess-my-needs Nioxin works the same way as Hair Club for Men products. After speaking with my mom, I read the fine print on the contract and found a 3 day return policy. I went to the supply store and bought the Nioxin system and compared the ingredients in both the cleanser, conditioner, folicle booster and the vitamins. Low and behold they are the same, the treatment regimen...the same. I was so excited to share this news of great savings and full hair to my husband. The next day he returned to Hair Club for Men for a refund.

The Nioxin system consists of 5 major parts, Cleanser, Scalp Therapy, Scalp Treatment, Follicle Booster and Intensive Therapy Recharging Complex (a dietary supplement) In order to see results you must first be patient, I can not say this enough and second YOU MUST USE THIS PRODUCT CONSISTANTLY FOLLOWING ALL DIRECTIONS, if you stop the treatment it will stop working for you. Results may not be noticable for up to 6 months. This is also about how long it took for my husband to see real results.
