Last year I was looking into a system for wedding I was supposed to come out in but it got pushed back to April this year.
I went to different locations in southern CA last year to get quotes. One awesome lady with a nice shop in Hollywood told me I have too much hair and I shouldn't get one yet and the rest were luring me in charging prices I couldn't afford. I stopped searching since the wedding was postponed and got on oral minoxidil with finasteride (NO SIDES). It actually brought back some density and I was pretty grateful with the results but wanted more.
I talked bad about LAVIVID systems looking horrible but that's what I ended up getting since they're affordable. I think it's the mirage skin piece or something. I'm using my own hairline for it. Had it installed in another shop in Hollywood (I hate driving that far) the dude was awesome and affordable but a bit unreliable with forgetting appointment's and answering back. I went to another shop in Monterey Park where i had been before for a quote to get my first clean up and get the system reattached. This guy is also cool, kept going on about being a professional with decades of experience but when he put my system on he didn't even place it right or glue it properly. 3 days later it was lose from the back & sides without having worked out or been in a hot environment. I went back to him yesterday, he didn't charge me but he didn't put the system on too great again and cut a small piece of it off.
I really like the first spot that installed my system, that thing was on perfectly without going up anywhere after workouts only the front coming up after two weeks which was understandable.
I definitely don't regret, it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a system. I also realized my current hair isn't that bad anymore, I've had a bit of density come back but still wanted to experience wearing a system for the wedding. I graduate in 6-7 weeks so I won't be shaving my head until then.
****In the mean time can I get a recommendations on a Lace system that is affordable and not too straight? I want to give Lace systems a try before shaving my head so I know what to buy in the future. What I don't like about my current system is that it is too straight, it would be cool to find something with a bit of a wave to match my actual hair.
I haven't told the women I date I got a system, I was self-conscious at first but now I don't care. I plan to let one of them know this week before asking her to be my GF. haha
