I'd say it takes the time of one growth cycle for the hair to return to normal - as the hair is so short this will only be a matter of weeks. It’s difficult to say exactly.

]]> Comment on Question: Your hair loss treatments are low in cost - does this mean they are not as good as more expensive hair clinics? by laura miller http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/question-your-treatments-are-low-in-cost-does-this-mean-they-are-not-as-good-as-more-expensive-hair-centres-2/#comment-2060 laura miller Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:38:56 +0000 http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/question-your-treatments-are-low-in-cost-does-this-mean-they-are-not-as-good-as-more-expensive-hair-centres-2/#comment-2060 I agree, I don't believe the more expensive hair replacement price, the better will be quality. It's even opposite, clinics who has good results and practices, have a lot of clients and it helps them to reduce prices. And clinics that don't have clients, have to rise prices in order to cover their expenses. I agree, I don’t believe the more expensive hair replacement price, the better will be quality.

My wife was passing "The Hair Centre" in May 2006 at a time when she was worried about a small bald patch that had recently developed. She made an appointment for later that day and was given a "free consultation" by Gary Heron. He recommended a 12 month course of treatment at £1880 but my wife said there was no way she could afford it. He said she could just take a month's treatment with her to try but she didn't have any money with her and declined. He continued to cajole her into taking the products and she realised the only way she could get away was to do so. She paid nothing. We discussed his selling methods and the products when she got home that evening and decided to return the products and cancel the treatment course. First thing the next morning she telephoned the Hair Centre to cancel and, after more attempts to sell the treatment to her, was given the impression that there would be no problem. She said that she would return the products. The very next day my wife received a letter demanding £333 for the products that Heron had forced upon her. The letter said that the products couldn't be returned because they were medical prescriptions. I immediately wrote back and said that the agreement had been cancelled and would pay nothing. The "medical prescriptions" were taken off a shelf and included shampoo and conditioner. None of the items had a use by date. Over the next few months my wife received a number of demanding letter and "Final Notices" threatening legal proceedings. I told her to ignore them all and eventually they stopped. We've heard nothing from them since January 2007. The most interesting part of this story is that whilst the threatening letters were being received my wife's thin patch showed very little sign of change. But as soon as the letters stopped and her stress levels were able to return to normal, her hair thickened again and it's now fine! I fell so sorry for all the vulnerable women who have fallen into the trap set by this rogue. The sooner he is put out of business the better. This all makes fascinating reading.

I knew something was wrong, he told me he had a business partner but I never saw him he always talked about his 2 sons who are at Boarding School and about him getting married, we talked for about 30mins all about himself before he would look at my hair which took all of 5 mins. At my first appointment I was nervous and scared as I hadn't talked about my hair problems with anyone, I was suffering depression as well and did he play on that! he made it clear that he could sort out all my problems within a year and that I would have long thick locks, I wanted to go away and think about it but then he turned into a bully telling me if I didn't do anything soon then my hair patches would get bigger and my hair thinner, I felt presure and he knew I was down anyway, when he said about the prices he made out that if I didn't get them there and then they would double in price, I then paid a total of about £1500 which I had to get an Overdraft for, I returned for weekly visits and he convinced me my hair was getting better,then came the Follicle Builders at £800 per box which I had 2 of now a total of £3100. When I wanted to cancel I had to make a story up that I was going to move abroad, then he started telling me about his clients all over the world and how I could still buy the products but I stuck to my guns and left, the next few weeks I had letters and phone calls bulling me to return to the centre....This man is a monster playing on peoples emotions just to make money he took away my confidence of going elsewhere....People be warned DO NOT GO TO THIS HAIR CENTRE, we all need to stick together to stop this happening to others.
