At Hair Technology International, as we’ve said many times before, no two days are the same.

One of the most rewarding services we offer is helping people facing the trauma of chemotherapy or radiotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer. Traditionally the patient would be offered the choice of artificial replacements for their hair by the NHS to be looked after by themselves, when they are at their most vulnerable.

We believe people deserve better and working alongside other leading independent hair replacement companies and private hospitals in the UK, we have developed a unique system which is the next best thing to the client’s own growing hair that will stay with them throughout their treatment and (apart from occasional hairdressing appointments) will be with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This means that neither the family nor the client has to see themselves without hair. What’s more this hair is designed to mimic their own hair so the person can look the same before, during and after treatment.

If you or someone you care about is facing hair loss through chemotherapy or radiotherapy, call us on 0141 331 2688 and we promise we will do all we can to help.

When you look at the heading of this post, what do you see? Often businesses in our field focus on the need for change – “New Year – New You”, “New Year’s Revolution”, etc. You name it, there are plenty terrible puns out there implying that you need to change to be happy. At Hair Technology International we don’t think this is always true.

We look at the heading and see the word “happy” – it may be that there is nothing wrong with the “old” – sorry, existing! – you but you may just need reassurance.

A big part of our job is offering advice. This may be to do nothing or just make small lifestyle changes – it doesn’t always mean that one of the procedures we offer is right for everyone.

At Hair Technology International we care. We don’t want to build up hopes and disappoint – if non-surgical replacement, treatments or (even more importantly) surgery aren’t right, we’ll explain why. In this situation we always say that if you go on to speak to another consultant who offers different advice, call us back and we can discuss why we don’t agree.

The decision to do anything about hair loss is always yours but maybe, just maybe, there’s nothing too much wrong with the “old” you. It’s just a thought.

For honest advice, call us on 0141 331 26898, we promise to do all we can to help, even if it is just a chat.

We know December is a busy month for everyone getting ready for Christmas and at Hair Technology International, it’s no different so this post is just to wish all our clients a fantastic Christmas and a terrific 2019!

We appreciate all your trust and friendship throughout the and look forward to seeing you again in 2019.

In the run up to the festive break we have had many calls from people dealing with competitors, looking for an emergency appointment. We always like to help and have spaces available between Christmas and the New Year but if you have been let down by your current hair replacement supplier why not become one of our regulars in 2019 and make sure that you are properly looked after here, throughout the year and beyond.

Call us on 0141 331 2688 or email us and we promise to do all we can to make you happy with your hair.

At Hair Technology International we love shopping online – but you may have noticed that certain things are better bought online than others. If you are after something with a standard specification or design (like say a video game) this is great but if you want something that looks good, like say clothing, it is difficult to see how it will be until you see the item in the flesh. Magnify this many times and that is often what happens when hair is bought online – the pictures look great but what arrives is almost unidentifiable!

“Stack them high and sell them cheap” might work for supermarkets or online retailers but when it comes to your hair, we feel this is too important to take a risk.

At Hair Technology International we help men and women suffering from hair loss using international suppliers that don’t deal with the public but only work with fellow hair professionals. Likewise when it comes to the hair attachment process we use products that you just won’t find elsewhere in Scotland (even in our so called competitors).

Getting the hair is only the start – having it fitted properly and styled expertly is vital, as is maintaining the hair. At Hair Technology International we do all this for you so you don’t have to worry. We have heard horror stories of people being charged £250 or more to have a system fitted – don’t allow yourself to be fooled into paying ridiculous amounts, if you need our help call us and we’ll try to help.

Some things are simple when in the hands of experts – you wouldn’t buy a cheap part for your car online and try to fit it yourself, so why would you do this with your hair which will be part of you 24/7?

We would never turn anyone away and always try to help but to avoid the hassle of trying to fix problems from buying hair online, why not save yourself the time and expense and call or email the experts at Hair Technology International. You’ll be glad you did!

Many times we come across people who have had transplants, who really shouldn’t have. Often times this is due to the slick sales pitch promising growing hair for life with little or no aftercare. Neither of these claims is accurate so part of our role is informing people of the pitfalls of surgery.

Here are some important questions that really must be answered satisfactorily before you take the plunge :

– what results can I realistically expect and precisely what guarantees are offered by the clinic/surgeon?
– what qualifications does the clinic/surgeon have and can I see examples of their work first hand – not just pictures which can be altered?
– will the person offering the consultation also be the person doing the operation? If not, please be very wary as there are many instances of barely qualified individuals actually doing the work with the consulting surgeon being nowhere to be seen!
– what aftercare is required? Will I need to embark upon lifelong medication with Finasteride or the like to protect the hair post- surgery and prevent further loss elsewhere?
– what would the cost of this aftercare/treatment be and what would happen if it is stopped?
– what happens to the donor site from where the hair is harvested/taken? Am I guaranteed that the scarring post surgery will not be visible?
– what happens if I do lose more hair? How will this effect the end result of the surgery and will further operations be needed? If so is my donor area sufficient for more surgery and what wil the likely cost be?
– how much of the transferred hair is guaranteed to grow and what is the likely eventual cost for the outcome I am expecting?
– on a technical level, will the hairs be extracted and implanted using magnifying scopes? This is vital as freehand surgery carries many risks and often brings very unnatural results.
– do the maths add up? Can the number of hairs being transferred achieve the coverage promised (a person typically has approximately 100,000 hairs so at 30% loss, 3000 hairs would only allow at most 10% coverage)

At Hair Technology International we are different – we are happy to help and certainly don’t recommend surgery if there is any doubt . If you are looking for professional discrete advice, call or email us.

As a result of the generosity of our terrific clients, Hair Technology International has been able to make a real difference in one of the poorest parts of Africa. We are blessed to have such generous clients who have helped us supply a nursery in one of the most deprived parts of The Gambia with the latest i.t. equipment, stationery and supplies (the picture with this post shows just some of the equipment they have received). This directly impacts 145 children in the area each and every year.

We realise that the help we offer to those we help with hair loss can seem life changing but for these youngsters your help will make a lifelong difference. We can only say a huge thank you – it just goes to show what can be done if we put our minds to it.

Although this is the first such help we’ve offered it won’t be the last so watch this space!

Helping, caring, whatever you want to call it, that’s what we try to do every day. See for yourself if you’re new to Hair Technology International – just drop us an email or call us on 0141 331 2688 : you’ll be glad you did.

We are often asked how it is to work as part of the team at Hair Technology International. The truth is no two days are the same and that is what working here makes the job so rewarding!

The day can start with a male or female client in for a regular appointment having already had their hair replaced by us, then a customer in looking for advice on the options available (and often the pitfalls of inappropriate transplants!), followed by a person undergoing chemotherapy who wants the next best thing to their own hair until their hair regrows, followed by a laser treatment session for a hair loss client and then a chat with one of Trichological treatment clients to review the results achieved at home with our specialist products.

As you can see there is quite a mix of ways that we can help but that is what makes Hair Technology International unique – we have full all round knowledge of the alternatives available and can actively help to make a difference.

To all our new clients who have recently come to see us, we really appreciate your trust. If you have yet to visit us, please don’t worry – we are happy to offer impartial advice and help in any way we can.

Call us on 0141 331 2688 or email us – we are here for you.

At Hair Technology International we always believe in offering the very latest products and procedures.

Within our field we are known to be at the forefront of this technology and as a result we have recently returned from the States, where Hair Technology International was proud to receive two awards at a prestigious conference where many of the world’s hair replacement companies were represented.

It is down to the hard work and dedication of our team of experts that we were awarded Global Ambassador status as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award marking our 25 years in the industry.

We really do appreciate all the hard work of our team as well as the trust and friendship of our clients. If you have not yet been in touch why not give us a call on 0141 331 2688 or email us to let us show you why more and more people are turning to us for help with their hair.

Why not? Seriously, a big thank you to all the new clients who have come to us recently after having their hair replaced elsewhere. As these other businesses have demonstrated, supplying the hair is often the easy part – without the right expertise and facilities, these other suppliers often fall short when it comes to caring for the client afterwards.

The recent sizable increase in interest in non-surgical hair replacement just shows how Hair Technology International is literally head and shoulders above the competition (if you pardon the pun!). Here are ten reasons why to choose Hair Technology International :

– We have the largest non-surgical replacement clientele in Scotland
– We have 25 years experience dealing with any issues that may arise
– We have the largest selection of suppliers of both hair and products
– We are open 6 days a week and are available as late as 7.30pm, with five fully qualified experts hair technicians
– We offer excellent value for money with our unique price guarantee
– We have centres in Glasgow and Perth to allow nationwide coverage
– We don’t operate as a franchise but instead are totally independent, meaning we are always ahead of the pack with the latest techniques and products
– We import from all around the world, allowing us to innovate as soon as new technologies become available
– We introduced Hair for Life to the country – beware of expensive, inferior imitations
– We offer the highest levels of customer service and care, reflected by industry leading levels of client retention

If these aren’t enough good reasons to speak to us, we could give you many more but instead why not call us on 0141 331 2688 or email us to see the difference for yourself!

As we keep saying not all hair replacement companies and hair loss consultants are the same. Some spend a fortune on online marketing and target social media, others just get on with looking after people. At Hair Technology International we are definitely in the latter category so it is always nice to get recognition.

As mentioned before we have been nominated for an award in SME News and we are delighted to say that Hair Technology International has been short-listed as one of the UK Enterprise Top 50 for SME News this year. This recognises businesses that showcase superior excellence, dedication and innovation against their competitors and so we are happy to receive this accolade.

As always we are not here for awards – our job is just to look after people and stay ahead of the competition when it comes to new procedures, products and techniques. If you want to find out how we can help you or maybe you are with a competitor and may be missing out, just email us or call us on 0141 331 2688 and we will be happy to help in any way we can.
