Hi everyone!
First, just wanted to say thanks for all the great advice I have received from this forum. I have only been lurking for a week but have found everyone (especially Noah & BaldBearded) to be a valuable resource! This is my first post, so I will give you a bit of background.
I have been shaving my head since I was 17 (now 32) as I always knew I was going to be bald. I am very open to my friends and family about my journey into hair systems and to it wasn't big news to them as I am "that person" in that is always experimenting with new styles. That said, I would still like my hair to look "natural." I recently had my first hair system made and cut-in by a company in NYC. The first few days were great, but unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The information the company/stylist gave me barely scratched the surface, and I made multiple amateur mistakes which I now know could have been avoided. The poly cut-in was butchered and cut differently on each side, which I discovered after the system came up on day 5. Besides now having the impossible task of making the hairline look normal, learning what the hell I'm doing, and trying to feel less self-conscious about the system the hair also looks dry! I have spent a frustrating amount of money fixing the mistakes that I paid a professional to avoid...lesson learned, I will cut my losses (which is way too much!) and come to terms with what's done is done...I'm not giving up though! which brings me to my question...
I ordered a new system from lordhair (first time), and I'm now just looking for a place to cut it in. Does anyone know a stylist or salon in or around Manhattan that can help me start fresh?
