Hi folks.
I was walking down the street the other day here in my home town of Dublin, Ireland and my vision was hit by a huge neon-lit sign on the side of a building. It read: "WHY GO BALD?". Hmmm... "Good question" I thought to myself so I decided to enter this building. It was called the Universal Hair Clinic.
When I got in, I asked what the story was. They told me that they had been in the hair-fighting business for over 60 years and that they had the power to prevent hairloss. So, I asked to make an appointment for a consultation. Luckily, it was'nt busy at the time so they said they would check me out there and then.
I was brought into a room by one of their friendly members of staff and was placed in a comfy chair as she used an ultra-violent light to examine my hair. She then came to the conclusion that I was indeed going through the early stages of hairloss: Receded temples and *slight* thinning on the crown. She then said that I had caught it in time and that I have a really, really good chance of keeping the hair I have and even regrow some of the hair I have lost if I were to get treatment from them. I asked about her precribing me Propecia but she told me I did'nt need it yet and to at least wait and see how the treatment goes first.
As you can imagine, all of this just sounded too good to be true. So I went kinda smartass on her *** and said something to the effect of "If you can do all these wonderful things, how come there are still thousands of bald men in Dublin. Would'nt the existence of your clinic resolve this problem?". She replied by saying "Maybe they just accept their problem like many men do or maybe they're just too embaressed to come here". Seemed like a fair enough answer. I bought it, anyway.
Then came the million doller question-The cost. My jaw just dropped after she said €250 for ten sessions of treatment. But then I thought to myself for a second and then realized that I have about €1000 saved in the bank and I was just gonna blow it all on somethin stupid anyway so I accepted.
A week later, I was there for my first appointment. I was very nervous but kinda releaved at the same time. I was in the middle of a huge shed at the time so I really felt like I was doing the right thing.
I was taken upstairs to the third floor and placed in a chair in front of a mirror. One of the staff then arrived with a tray ranging from lotions to electrical equiptment. I thought "sh*t, this better not be just another 'lotions and potions' scam.
Anyway, first she used an electricy thingie on my scalp. Then applied a lotion. Followed by a potion. She then gave me a rather relaxing scalp massage. Then another big electric thing was used to massage my scalp even more. We then finished with what she described as "a lotion with top secret ingredients that stops hair from falling out".
They then sent me on my way with a shampoo and solvent to be used the following morning and told me to come back next week.
As I was waiting for the next week to arrive, I DID notice a little less hair in the sink, keyboard etc. Then after my second session (today), I am have to say, I'm impressed. When I was styling my hair to go out this evening (which took about 15 mins or so- ye know how it is!!) and I looked down into the sink and expected to catch another devistating view of Hair City but no!! Instead, I saw one hair. ONE HAIR! I could'nt believe it. I felt so relieved and excited.
Conclusions:
The treatment must be doing something. Or maybe the long shed I've been having just stopped today. Coincedence? Who knows? All I know is that I'm a slightly happier man thats just gonna take one step at a time in his battle against hairloss. Here's hopin.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and sorry if I bored you.
