I still wonder why the more successful actors and entertainers do not invest more wisely into the arena of cosmetic surgery and/or hair systems. I think part of the dilemma is that they do not have the time to spend hours in researching surgical hair restoration and they often have personal assistants and managers do that for them.
I remember getting a call some years ago from an agent of a celebrity and the agent said he was just gathering as much information as possible. He was far more concerned about the cost verses knowing the pro's and risks of the procedure for his client. I explained to the agent that the individual would still need to be examined in person by the doctor, not knowing a thing about the extent of his hairloss, his donor characteristics, etc. The agent went on to say that this celebrity simply did not have the time and was not very patient. I explained to the agent that his client owed it to himself to know upfront if he was even a candidate for the procedure. Not everyone is. The phone got somewhat quiet at that point. You would think people of his profile would have the sense to know that cosmetic surgery is not something to rush into. If your client does not have the time to research, then you do it for him or find someone who can.
Then, I see very successful celebrities/actors who have the money to invest but purchase cheap hair systems that you and I would die before ever being caught wearing them. John Travolta is a typical example of this. I have seen some close-ups of his hairline when wearing systems and you could clearly see the mesh and where areas of it was thinning and very obvious. He can afford top end systems if he prefers not to have surgery, even the kind that you wear for a week and pitch them. He also needs some advice and coaching on how to apply the systems to his scalp so they are adhered in a way that looks more natural. I am not trying to pick on him but again here is someone who can well afford the cost and one would think he would have more concern about his appearance.
