Hi Guys,

Not that it matters, but you can actually trademark anything by simply adding TM to it. However, this is not a Registered Trademark and won't usually hold up in court.

Also, pricing in US$ in Canada is quite common with exporters and companies wishing to do business worldwide.

What bothers me - if it's true - is the price. Some posters comments have been that it's fantastic and that they can now have a full head of hair. Well, if a full head of hair is 100,000 hairs of which 1/2 are around the back and sides, you need 40,000 - 50,000 hairs transplanted to look like young Elvis did! Have you worked it out?

One hair is U.S. $8.00 for the first 2000 hairs. Every hair after that is U.S. $4.75

For only 5000 hairs (which is nothing!) The cost is U.S. $30,250.00 In CAN $ it sounds even worse - $46,800.00

For medium coverage for someone who's lost most of his hair I believe you would have to have at least 30,000 hairs (am I wrong on this?) I had a megasession single hair transplant where they supposedly inplanted about 4000+ hairs and you can still see through my hair in sunlight or under potlights.

So... multiply the $30,000 figure for 5000 hairs by 6 and you get U.S.$180,000.00 !! A lot of money by anyone's standard. (CAN $270,000).

If it's true, I'm sure they'd be better off somewhere in the $5.00 per hair range for the first 2000 hairs and then the cost would lessen if you chose to do much more than this. Let's say, $3.00 for the next 3000 and $2.00 for the next 10,000 etc.

I was hoping full head of hair (50,000 hairs) would be in the region of $100,000 max.
