Hair Restoration and Hair Styling trade Idea

Dear Dr. Rassman,

first of all, what a brilliant blog! And what a distinguished hair transplant surgeon you are. Once I decide that I need a hair transplant, I will come to your office and would demand you to personally do it.

In the meanwhile, I have one suggestion of something that I think is lost in the hair restoration / hair style trade, and I just wanted to share that with you as an inspiration, possibly it is something you might want to try.

On the one hand, there are hair transplant surgeons like yourself, who can map out my scalp, do a master plan, do surgery. next, there are hair stylists who can discuss with me hair styles etc. What I think is lost is marrying the two, in terms of a consultation. I would immediately pay $200 whether I could come in and have a conversation with yourself or one of the other doctors in your office, and an expert hair stylist, discussing what kind of looks a combination of say hair transplant surgery, Toppik, and hair styling could do. I have never seen anyone approach that subject from that angle, and I am thinking esp in LA there might demand for such a wholistic approach in terms of consultation.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

There are many clinics who have your sense of trade concept. We as physicians do refer our patients regarding different types of hair styles and adjunct products, such as Toppik or DermMatch, to enhance the look of the hair transplants or hair style in general.

It would be great whether we can partner with a celebrity hair stylist as well and the opportunity remains open. On occasion, we have patients come into the office with their stylists for advice, and there have been some particularly helpful discussions.
