Products are great, its made our friend look about 10 years younger.
I have been using Hair Development for nearly two years now.
My introduction to HD was unusual, as it came as a result of a referral from a mens hair loss forum. Though the gentleman in question clearly had some online credit so I figured I’d take his word and seek out HD.
At the point of contacting them, I had already been to five other mens hair unit suppliers (incl one directly from China). I had a couple of half decent units over the few years but struggled with every supplier to get any sense of consistency.
Sometimes the hair would be noticeably a different colour, other times the hairline would be entirely different among other issues which often left me in some rather embarrassing situations. I had considered shaving my hair on more than a number of occasions but unfortunately I am left with a large scar following two large FUT surgeries.
After hearing of HD, I had a little browse online but was somewhat surprised to find they had very little online presence. No fancy social media pages nor many reviews regarding the firm. I was hesitant but had exhausted my options elsewhere at this stage so figured I would proceed.
I got in touch and straight away they responded with options in which they could provide and asked specifically what specs I require going forward. For what I first expected were a fairly unknown firm, they were indeed very professional.
I sent a template and hair sample from an existing order in the following weeks to begin the process and within a couple of months my new unit had arrived. Upon inspection it looked of good quality and it had a nice natural hairline with bleached knots etc. I had it fitted by my stylist the following week, and again very happy with the results. Very natural hairline and a realistic density etc.
I know from previous units that they have a little bit of ‘bounce’ upon first fitting, but I’m sure that will reduce in following weeks. Overall, I’m very happy and feel in a position where I can finally progress with my life because I now finally have a reliable and consistent hair supplier. Easier found than one may expect.
It’s difficult to stress to some people, but unless you are a wearer yourself, you can’t comprehend the harsh realities of sometimes going months high and dry with no sign of arrival or improvement in sight. Even the more competitive suppliers in the industry (UK wide) are usually great salesmen when you place the order, but the results are never quite as satisfying not to mention the after sales support (or lack, thereof).
Given the above, I cannot recommend HD enough. I didn’t realise until long after my first order that they’ve been in business for 25+ years and I am not all that surprised given their level of quality and beyond par customer service. Another thing I rather like is the fact they have absolutely no sales talk unlike many firms in this industry.
Thank you to everyone I’ve dealt with this far at Hair Development and I plan to be a customer long into the future. Cannot recommend to anybody else quite enough.
