I tried to send you an e-mail but had no success (hairsolutionaberdeen@yahoo.co.uk) I am looking for a place in Scotland that I could go to - do you know if the aberdeen salon will open soon?

I am new on here, so will tell you a bit about my experience of hair loss.
I was raped by my step father from the age of 6yrs till 12, when I became pregnant with the "animal's" child. I was 8 months pregnant before I had even been to the Dr, however my grandfather died, 2 weeks after it was confirmed that I was pregnant, (not related to what was happening to me), then I gave birth to my baby, days later. With the stress of everything, my hair started to fall out. I remember sitting brushing my hair after I got home from the hospital and actually counted all the hairs that had come out on my brush. When I got to 100, I stopped!! Over the years it has continued to fall out, and I did my best to try and back comb, and hairspray to try and hide my problem. Over the years it has really got me down, but like all of you, I have tried to find a sloution.
Finally I found an article by Lucinda Ellery in a magazine, I was delighted when I managed to get an appointment to see her, she is a lovely woman, doing a great job, and the result for me with the integration system was great. My consoultation was on 9/11, the day of the twin towers disaster, I will never forget it. I got my system fitted a few days later, and am still using 1 now, some 9 years later.
You can basicaly do anything that anyone else can do, shower, swim go out in the rain, the snow or whatever you want. Although, I would draw the line at letting a man run his fingers through your hair, and you cannot just tip your head over the edge of the bath to wash your hair under the shower! You really need to get in, as when your head is upside down,you are putting all the weight of the wet hair on the bonds which are attaching the net to your head.
I understand the previous negative, comments about Lucinda Ellery, and I myself actually go to Lucas @ hair-solved Manchester( he used to work at LE) his system is slightly different to LE, The bonds are not glued or heat treated,and I personaly prefer this system as I feel there is less stress put on your precious own hair, it is not as painful, (although the pain dosent last long, and is a very small price to pay)it is alot quicker to have the ajustments done, its cheaper, and in a much smaller salon which feels more personal. It is also slightly nearer to where I stay as I am in Scotland.
As I have researched this matter for so long, and through personal experience, I have never found anyone who does these systems, that has actualy experienced wearing them,and the fact that I cannot find anywhere in Scotland to have them done, I am presently in talks to set up a salon in Aberdeen. So watch this space!! If I can be of any help to anyone or have not answered all your questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
