When you drive down 294 heading south of Chicago, you will see at least 20 billboards featuring Brian Urlacher. Brian Urlacher spent his 13-year football career as a linebacker for the Chicago Bears. Recently, Brian has become known for promoting a hair transplant company, along with Eddie Olczyk and Ryne Sandburg, both great athletes in their own right.
At Christine Pusateri Hair Solutions, we market only non-surgical hair replacement for men and women. In other words, we do not perform transplants. However, we have noticed the inclination of young men to no longer wish to shave their heads, which became popular about 20 years ago because of Michael Jordan. The comment we hear most is, "I don't want to shave my head. My DAD shaves his head!" Brian Urlacher's hair has helped with this inclination. Having someone who had a shaved head decide to promote hair has been great.
Transplants are expensive. They work exceptionally well for the right candidate. For example, a 50-year-old man with a thinning spot on the back of his head or a gentleman who has lost hair in his temples or front hairline may be a good fit. The methods they use now are extraordinary. Working in the field of hair replacement, beginning in the 70s, I saw terrible damage done to scalps and scarring on craniums from scalp reductions. These were done to hide where the hair had been removed to be transplanted. It has much improved.
One problem that still exists for transplant patients is donor areas. They are not cloning new hair; they are basically moving what hair you have to another spot on your head. A young man in his late twenties who goes for transplants will continue to bald as time goes on. His front hairline will be filled in, but the rest of the hair will continue to thin, and eventually, he will not have enough to go around his head.
This is why I say "THANK YOU" to Brian Urlacher. These young men realize they neither have the funds nor the donor's hair to keep up with their hair loss. The other consideration is that there is no long-term commitment. They can try hair for the year and decide it's not for them, and there is no scarring or permanent hair loss. Christine Pusateri Hair Solutions offers simple solutions to a major problem.
The new types of hair systems for men and women are the closest thing to getting your real hair back. They are lightweight, see-through, and comfortable. They are attached so you can swim, jog, and work out, and your hair looks like YOUR HAIR!! We ask for pictures to replicate the style the client is comfortable with and can replicate anything from a bald fade to a close-cropped look. We mold the client's head, blend the color, and work with the client to make them comfortable. We can change styles throughout the year if need be. We always tell them, "NOTHING IS WRITTEN IN STONE." People with their full heads of hair change their cuts often. When the hair always looks the same or always looks too perfect, it's a giveaway. We strive to look at them through fresh eyes and keep their best interest in mind. That is part of our mission statement.
We are in a unique business for advertising. No one is going to walk out of our studio and proclaim to the world, "HEY, LOOK AT MY GREAT HAIR REPLACEMENT!!" It needs to be a well-kept secret. This being the case, how do you advertise? We advertise discreetly, and much of where we reach out is online. Brian Urlacher made it cool to want hair. Guys with loss felt pressured to shave it off and be done. He brought back the realization that men want hair and could do something about it. So whether you are a good candidate for transplants or are considering a non-surgical answer, I have to say, “THANK YOU, BRIAN URLACHER!”
