In the News – New Hair Institute in the Los Angeles Times

There’s a nice article in today’s Los Angeles Times business section (sprinkled with Dr. Rassman quotes and a plug for the Hair Loss and Replacement for Dummies book) written by a reporter that attended our free Open House event last weekend in our LA office!

Snippet from the article:

The recession has caused patient volume at cosmetic-surgery facilities to fall by a third, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. With money so tight, it’s hard for many people to contemplate spending thousands of dollars on face-lifts or boob jobs.

But when I attended an open house at the New Hair Institute in Century City last weekend, I found a waiting room full of guys who were willing to spend as much as $20,000 apiece to restore what nature was taking away.

In many cases, the motivation is vanity or self-esteem. But increasingly these days, another incentive for men to undergo hair-transplant surgery is a desire to be more competitive in a challenging job market.
