After all the negative stuff we’ve had to deal with recently, at Hair Technology we are back to being our positive selves. Thanks for bearing with us!

As you may know Hair Technology is coordinating financial assistance for a nursery caring for 145 underprivileged local children aged 3-7 in one of the poorest parts of The Gambia, which itself is one of the poorest countries in Africa.

We have pledged to match all funds raised by clients towards achieving our goal of fully kitting out the nursery and making a difference for the local community. The last visitors before our visit were over three years ago so we felt we had to help.

We will keep you posted on progress but if you can help, please let us know.

The past few days have been a bit of an education for us at Hair Technology. We have spent over two decades offering people help with their hair loss, always to the best of our ability. So when we were asked to help following the sudden closure of KSL Hair, we thought this was the right thing to do. Since then we have the subject of inaccurate and distorted comments on various forums. Anyone who knows us or who has ever dealt with us knows the sort of people we are. A big thank you to all the clients who have offered their support. If you have any concerns please call us on 0141 331 2688.

It’s a shame that sometimes it’s easier to walk by rather than offer to help but and it’s in our nature to try to make a difference – that’s why we started all those years ago.

For the sake of clarity on our role with the former KSL clients, we would like to make it absolutely clear that Hair Technology has been asked by Shawbrook Bank to provide aftercare for former KSL customers that have requested such aftercare.

We have NOT been asked to provide any clinical opinions or reviews.

We are aware that many former KSL customers are being given appointments to see a consultant plastic surgeon / hair specialist, both of which are NOTHING to do with Simon Lindsay or KSL.

As the old saying goes “never let the facts get in the way of a good story” and that certainly seems to be the case following the closure of KSL Hair in Glasgow.

Over the years, we have worked from 79 West Regent Street in Glasgow and seen a number of similar businesses within the same building come and go (Skolas, West Regent Street Clinic and The Hair and Skin Centre to name a few) but never before have we been wrongly implicated. Just to set the record straight, we have to underline that Hair Technology is an independent company which has been under the same ownership and control since it’s inception. We started trading in 1993 and incorporated in 1996. Since then we have always sought to offer impartial help and advice – as we don’t do surgery but have 25 years experience helping those who have had transplants, scalp reductions, etc. we are perfectly placed to offer advice on a person’s suitability (or not) for surgery.

From our years of experience we know that whether or not someone has had surgery, if they are unhappy with their hair there can be an overwhelming sense of isolation and desperation and this is why we always offer a sympathetic ear. This has also created an environment for often inaccurate reporting on social media which is a pity as we are fully supportive of plans to control more tightly the availability of surgery. In fact over the years we have devoted much time trying to warn people considering surgery from going ahead if we feel their expectations are unrealistic – hardly something that would sit comfortably with a hair transplant business!

Recently the titles of our blogs have been compiled in a wholly accurate manner to suggest we are affiliated with KSL Hair. To be clear, our posts on that business (the contents of which are self-explanatory) were aimed at reaching out to anyone in need. This remains the case but we have added the word “Closure” to the title of the 24th March blog entry to ensure there are no similar misunderstandings. It is just a pity the next two entries entitled “the original and the best” and “Hair Technology International” hadn’t been treated similarly!

Over the years our client base has increased annually usually through recommendations and word of mouth. We still believe that surgery should always be the last option to consider and only then after doing full research and shopping around.

At Hair Technology we always promise to help – call or email us for free and impartial advice on all aspects of hair loss.

For those of us who are married, birthdays and anniversaries are too important to forget – if you forget, you’re sure to be reminded plenty times afterwards! At Hair Technology International we have just passed a major anniversary ourselves – it is 25 years since we opened the doors and started offering help to men and women suffering from all different forms of hair loss.

Whilst we don’t like to boast, we thought we’d mention such an important anniversary for us – this means we have been making a difference for longer than anyone else in Scotland. This unrivaled expertise means we have consistently been at the forefront of hair loss treatments and hair replacement technology.

For the many people we have helped over the years, a big thank you. For those we currently look after, we promise to always offer the best service and the latest techniques.

In an industry that sees businesses come and go with alarming frequency, isn’t it reassuring to know that we will always be here to help? Call us on 0141 331 2688 or email us, we promise we will do all that we can to make you happy with your hair.

As you may have heard in the press and through social media, our neighbours KSL Hair have closed down and we are aware that there are a number of their clients needing aftercare following surgery.

Although we already have a large clientele, our belief has always been to offer help whenever we can. For this reason, we were delighted to have been formally asked to use our expertise and offer these KSL clients the aftercare they are due to receive.

If you are one of these clients, please let us reassure you that we will do all that we can to help. As Scotland’s longest established hair loss centre, we are totally independent and combine the best trained staff with the latest technology. Referral procedures are being finalised and we look forward to helping in any way that we can.
