Today I met with the sales rep/ senior consultant who gave me my informative introduction to hair transplants or hair restorations.  He told me about the before and after, how long it would take, the steps necessary to make sure it would succeed.  It took forever to hear about it and ask the simple questions.
Then ultimately the cost came up.
I was classified as a norwood 3.  Which is the receding hairline in the front and the crown.
It was suggested that I get somewhere between 1600 and 2600 hair grafts.
The pricing starts at around $8 per graft down to $5 per graft if you buy so many...  example 1000 grafts is $8 per graft, 1500 is $6.50  per graft, and 2200 or more at $5.00 per graft.  The more you buy, the more you save, less you spend.  They offered 0 percent small term plans and had it all charted out.

Out of respect for the company and the doctors, I won't discuss pricing and my example too specifically.  I will say that anything that has a cost can be negotiated, maybe not successfully, but at least you can ask.

The salesman was pushy, but educated.  I wouldn't hang out with him casually, but I would hire him to sell for me. He wasn't just a salesman, he was also a former client, so they showed me his photos.  They also took my pictures.

I made payment and booked it for the 12th at 7:30am - one week away.  Let the anxiety begin.
It's a little impulsive on my part, but it's unconsciously something I want and need.  This is the time to do it.
Imagine waiting til i'm 50 and going 20 additional years this way when I could have made the change.
Plus, if it takes 6 months to really cultivate and flourish inside my scalp, then I want it now so that my 30th birth year doesn't rock my psyche.

Anyway, the process, whether the details are known or not, is obvious in the name.  It's a hair transplant.  All anyone really wants to know is two things; will it work and the cost.

After he basically showed me photos of success, the money fell into place and what more was there to do but to succumb to my want and do it.

I will admit it's lavishly much more than I thought it was going to cost.
I apprehensively went in thinking it was going to cost $3,000.
That miserly sum wouldn't buy what I need.

My surgeons name is Dr. Eugene Rodillo and he's a great guy.
