At Hair Technology Linternational we always try to plan ahead and make sure that we are able to be there for our clients when others cannot be.

Obviously the current situation with the Coronavirus remains very difficult but our aim is continue providing the excellent level of service our first class reputation suggests.

In line with Government advice we have reassigned the members of staff into two seperate teams – one for the start of the week and the other for the end of the week. The reason for this is to prevent us having to close if we have any contact with the illness. Hopefully this won’t happen but we are trying to protect the essential services we offer as much as possible.

This can only be done because of our dedicated team members so a big thank you to them all – Margaret, Cherylann, Sara, Caitlin, Michelle, Yvonne and Nadine. Obviously having such a vast wealth of experience means we are in a strong position to look after all our clients but if you are a hair replacement client elsewhere and are worried about what happens in the event of your supplier having to close due to the virus, now might be a good time to speak to us.

Since we officially reopened we have heard from many clients of other hair replacement centres worried about what the future might hold – unfortunately no one can be sure but with over 25 years’ experience and such a great team behind us, we promise that we will always be there to look after you.

Since lockdown ended we’ve been contacted by a number of clients who were previously being looked after by our competitors and who either are feeling abandoned or worried due to the lack of support during the lockdown.

At Hair Technology International we fully understand how important it is for hair replacement clients to feel that they are being looked after – with our team of experts we have always tried to be there and in the event of another forced closure we promise we will always do all we can to offer support – this is only possible due to us having seven fully qualified stylists, five completely seperate styling areas, two different locations in Scotland allowing nationwide coverage of clients and multiple suppliers offering excellent products.

If ever there was a time to reflect on who is looking after your hair, now would be a good time and if you feel that your previous suppliers have let you down please call us on 0141 331 2688 and we will do all we can to help.

Our posts are a bit like waiting for a bus – nothing for ages then they all come at once! Sorry!

Anyway if you are an existing client you will see a few changes following the Coronavirus lockdown – these are all geared at making Hair Technology International as safe a place as possible for both you and the team.

Firstly you will see that there are hand sanitisers everywhere you look – please use them upon entry and use a face mask once you arrive. If you don’t have one, we will give you one.

There is a strict no waiting policy, so please don’t bring any friends or family with you – we just want to make sure that the numbers of visitors are properly controlled. To acheive this we will be introducting a new staff rota which will allow cover six days a week but may mean that we don’t have quite so many girls in at the same time. For the time being this makes it all the more important to plan ahead with your appointments.

We already have totally seperate cubicles which are sanitised between appointments and will be introducing disposable gowns and a one way system. On a positive note we can’t offer tea or coffee for now, so at least that’s some good news (if you’ve tasted them, you’d know what we mean!)

Until the end of July we won’t be open on Thurdays but this is just to allow the girls time to sort out their personal arrangements so we can hit the ground running properly in August.

Please remember that these changes are all for the good of you and the team – behind the masks and perspex screen at reception we are still the same team and we promise to always have your back.

If you are new to Hair Technology International and have perhaps been left feeling let down by your current hair supplier, please drop us an email or give us a call on 0141 331 2688 and we’ll do all we can to help.

After what seems like an eternity, we are finally able to say that we are back to look after our clients.

During the past 16 weeks or so we have tried to reach out to all our clients, reassuring them that we are not too far away but if your details aren’t up to date, this may not have been possible for a very small number of people so if this applies to you please call us on 0141 331 2688 so we can get you fixed up with an appointment. We’ve missed seeing you.

In the next post we’ll explain how the new normal will change the way we work going forward but rest assured that we are here for you and will continue providing the same level of care that we were providing before the lockdown.

If you are a client elsewhere and feeling a little abandoned or worried about who will look after you going forward, especially if there are any more lockdowns, please feel free to drop us an email or give us a call and we’ll be happy to help any way we can.

At Hair Technology International we always promise to be here for you and we really mean it. Over 25 years ago we started looking after men and women dealing with hair loss so we would be delighted to be your dependable hair replacement experts – and friends.

In common with all other businesses, Hair Technology International is having to temporarily close due to the ongoing Corona Virus pandemic. We fully expect to reopen as soon as possible but we please ask all our clients to bear with us in these unprecedented times.

The whole team are committed to looking after each and every one of our clients and we promise to reopen as soon as the Government allows but in over 25 years’ business this is a totally new situation for us all.

In any case we value your trust and promise that by working together we will get through this. Thanks.

The merits of hair transplants is a subject we often return to but this is only because we want people considering this route to be fully informed. Hair transplantation is a very delicate form of plastic surgery where the results are literally staring people in the face so it is essential that the decision to opt for surgery is taken carefully with all the facts.

Often price is key factor in making the decision to go for surgery but this is a mistake. When the results are lifelong, the outcome should be the main concern. For this reason we urge caution about looking to Turkey or elsewhere overseas where standards (and safety) may be compromised. That’s not to say that you’re always better with surgery in the UK, however, as there have been well documented rogue clinics here too. The main thing is to thoroughly do your homework and remember that hair transplantation does not create new hair, all it involves is moving existing hair. If your hair is thick enough elsewhere, transplants may be a good option especially if the hair loss is localised and the thinning has stopped but if your hair loss is still progressing, with more likely, and limited donor hair, surgery could create more problems than it will solve.

The first port of call may be to check out the recent programme on BBC3 “Plastic Surgery Undressed” which showed a hair transplant operation to potential candidates. Even here though, remember that unscrupulous operators would not allow such access to the media so this does not reflect the standard of care offered by all clinics here and abroad.

Surgery is not the only choice available to men (and women) affected by hair loss so to discuss your own situation, please don’t hesitate to call or drop us an email. At Hair Technology International we are always happy to help any way we can.

At this time of year we normally say a big thank you to all our clients and friends for all their trust and support during the year but this time we’d like to say an equally big thank you to all the team.

Margaret, Cherylann and Sara, Yvonne, Michelle, Caitlin and Nadine are the real strength of Hair Technology International – a big thanks you to one and all – they truly represent the very best in the hair replacement industry and we are so lucky to have such a great team.

If you are relying on one of our competitors with only one or two stylists or have found that you are having to fit your appointments around your stylist, why not give us a call. As the largest centre in Scotland dealing with hair loss or thinning hair , we promise we will always be there for you.

Okay so it might seem a bit weird wishing ourselves a happy birthday but we think that 26 years of helping people in Scotland suffering from hair loss is something to celebrate.

A big thank you to everyone who has placed their trust in us – we promise that we will continue to offer the widest range of proven treatments and the very latest cosmetic solutions direct from suppliers worldwide for the best prices, guaranteed.

Over the years we have seen many other suppliers come and go but with Hair Technology International you can have confidence in knowing that we will always be here for you.

Now, where’s the birthday cake?!?!

More and more we are hearing of problems experienced by clients of some of our competitors who have received a hair system or the like and just aren’t getting looked after properly. At Hair Technology International we pride ourselves in industry-leading levels of customer satisfaction. We know that without our clients, we would be nothing so we promise to always be here to help, no matter what.

Customer care is vital to ensure that any client who has had their hair replaced is getting the full benefits – after all it’s no good looking great if you are worried what will happen next time you need an appointment.

For over two decades we have always offered ourselves to anyone needing our help – whether a client here or elsewhere (or not a client anywhere yet).

We are here to look after men and women where hair loss has impacted them, allowing them to get on with their lives knowing that help is only a call or email away.

Call or message us for free advice or to arrange a no obligation chat, we’re sure that you will be glad that you did.
