Hair Replacement Goes Couture at HairArt

A full, healthy head of hair is something most of us take for granted...until it's gone.

According to statistics, there are 56 million Americans living with hair loss, and almost half of all men and women will suffer some sort of "fallout" by the time they turn 50. From minor thinning to receding hairlines to actual baldness caused by heredity or disease, the mirror may hold in store a variety of shocks to our vanity.

Since ancient times, loss of hair has signified diminished strength, youth, vitality, beauty and even sexual prowess. Those perceptions persist today, and for many hair loss sufferers, showing too much scalp is simply not an option. The alternatives -- both surgical and non-surgical -- come with stigmas of their own. Botched transplants and grafts, mismatched toupees, and cringe-worthy combovers have given cover-up efforts a bad name. But one company -- Southern California-based HairArt -- is trading stereotype for style with its new generation, high quality custom hair replacement.

What would be a problem for most companies -- a product so good it doesn't get noticed -- is HairArt's specialty. The firm's strikingly realistic replacements are sought after by thousands of loyal clients, including celebrities working in television and film where looks not only can, but must be deceiving.

The secret to this brilliant deception? The strikingly realistic HairArt replacements use only real human hair and are painstakingly matched to the client's remaining hair with no need to dye. Hand-woven hairpieces are made-to-measure in the company's own factory–a distinction only HairArt can claim. "You don't have one size fits all," says HairArt Founder Jackie Yu. "Every person's hair is a different color, a different density, a different type."

Each hairpiece is made with 100% European, virgin-state, non-treated hair and has a life expectancy of two to three years. It is not taken off at night and can be worn while playing sports and even while swimming. This is not your father's hairpiece -- in any way, shape or form.
