At Hair Technology International we are often asked why our techniques and the products we use are predominantly from the US.

Sure, as we are often told, there are cheaper suppliers in far flung corners of the world but the techniques we offer have crossed over from the film and tv industry. As everyone knows the hub of this industry is the US so it is natural for us to deal with the original innovators who developed much of the technology that remains cutting edge to this day.

As with any business, other suppliers from all over the world have tried to jump on the bandwagon with pale imitations but the truth is that the very best non-surgical hair replacement or hair enhancement comes for the States and many of these suppliers are very selective about who they partner. We are lucky enough to have secured exclusivity with a number of the very best suppliers meaning that what we offer, you just can’t get elsewhere in Scotland.

Unlike other types of business  there are no “industry leaders” in the field of hair replacement as others may suggest. Improvements and new ideas are coming along all the time so there is a great deal to be said for an independent business sourcing supplies through a number of different leading suppliers, and offering an excellent experience for the customer. Hair Technology International is such a business – we have been approached in the past by other companies wanting to share in our success but we remain and always will, fiercely independent.

Our expert team are in constant contact with similarly minded independent businesses worldwide so this offers our customers the reassurance that they will always be delighted with their hair, and for Hair Technology International it means we will always stay one step ahead of the competition.

Please remember, we are always here to help.

So what’s wrong with a Franchise?!

Franchises can be great – especially if you’re after a burger or something similar you know that what you will be the same wherever you go. Nothing changes. Everything is the same. The only problem is that the hair loss industry is constantly changing and no matter what service is being offered, it is vital that the people dealing with the clients are fully trained and experienced. Also until you go in to see the business you never know what you’ll find.

In our experiences, franchises in this industry don’t work for three main reasons :

– firstly, franchises are driven by profit, whereas in our industry we feel that businesses should be driven by service
– secondly, in a fast evolving industry, it is key to keep innovating : larger businesses tend to move more slowly when it comes to introducing something new, whereas at Hair Technology International we are lean and well connected so we can move straight away if something truly ground-breaking comes along
– thirdly, franchisers like to keep control so often won’t tell the businesses the full facts or give them the full range of options – as independent experts we have no such limits put on us.

Watch out for franchises – the amount of knowledge and experience we have gained over the past 20 years can’t be simply handed over in a franchise agreement.

For expert hair we are always here, just call or email us. For burgers, maybe you should look elsewhere!
