10 Year Old "Hanna" Alopecia

When I had my old wig, it felt itchy and sweaty, it felt horrible! Before we did the fundraising, I felt nervous and when I got my new hair, it felt great! I can do so much with it!! Unlike my other one, I couldn't put it in braids or anything!! Now with my new hair it sticks (it's secure)!! So I don't have to worry about it falling off anymore. 10 years old.

Making a Transition To Healthy Hair and Scalp

Thank you Maria and Brian for making my transition to a healthy hair and scalp a positive one. Soon, I will be donating this hair system to someone who is in the healing process like me today.

Thank you again, in love and light.

ps: Sumo (our 5 lb pup) your energy is magnificent!

Wind, Sun and Rain Became My Enemies

Hi Maria;

I wanted to thank you for taking the time with me yesterday to create a wonderful hairstyle with my new system. It was surreal to see so much hair on my head, and I couldn't believe how real it looked. I can't wait to see the pictures so I can post them onto my Facebook! Hope you and Brian have a wonderful Christmas, and look forward to seeing you for my follow-up appointment in the New Year!

My testimonial is below:

I came to Maria Jaggard Salon about two months ago, at the end of my rope. I have been dealing with female pattern hair loss and chronic shedding for the past eight years, and in the last couple of years it had begun to worsen exponentially. I was at the point of not going out in the sun and wearing a headband to prevent the front of my hair from flying about and revealing the baldness underneath. There is no way to describe the anxiety and distress that a woman goes through when she is slowly losing her hair. A woman's hair is her glory, her femininity , and her identity. To slowly, insidiously begin to lose hair that over time is one of the most devastating things I have gone through, and there seemed to be no hope. I had seen the foremost hair specialist in Vancouver, was prescribed Rogaine (extra strength for Men), took iron pills and B-vitamins, and nothing helped or curbed the hair loss. Earlier this year, I started wearing bangs (which I hated) to hide the frontal baldness. And the wind, sun, and rain had become my enemies.

In October, out of desperation, I began to research hair transplants, and came across the website for Maria Jaggard Salon. I hadn't been to a hairdresser in over a year because of embarrassment over my baldness, and thought maybe she could help me come up with a new way of arranging my hair so I could camouflage my baldness better. When I went for my consultation appointment, she and Brian told me about their hair systems. They suggested a hair system, because my hair loss was too advanced to benefit from extensions or a weave. I hadn't gone into the appointment expecting to purchase anything. But then they told me about a client who had suffered from hair loss similar to mine and was now wearing a system and how it changed her life. They then showed me a picture of this lady (who had given her prior permission to do so). When I saw the picture, I was stunned to discover that this was someone I had known most of my life! I became emotional, because here was someone who was suffering the same thing that I was, and I never knew it! I would never have guessed that her hair was not her real hair.

I feel that things happen for a reason. I immediately put a down payment on my own system, and yesterday I came in (with that same friend, whose picture had spurred me to make this decision for myself) and had my own system put in place and cut and tailored to my own hair. I had wanted to have long, layered hair (without bangs), because this is the hair I use to have before it started thinning and falling out. I brought in pictures of celebrities whose hair I wanted to emulate. It was incredible to be able to have the freedom for the first time to be able to pick and choose exactly what kind of hair I wanted and to be able to have it done. When Maria put the system on me and started to work with it, I was in awe at its length and thickness. It was like seeing myself as I was ten years ago. I had forgotten what is was like to have long, thick, flowing hair. And when the system was complete and in place, I couldn't tell the difference between it and my real hair. It flowed togetther seamlessly, the texture, thickness, and feel of it was a perfect match.

Maria spent so much time on my hair, getting it just right. She clearly enjoys what she does and takes her time to do it right. That is something I really value. And she is such a sweet, kind, and fun person to talk to. Both she and Brian are very welcoming and professional, and I never felt pressured into buying anything. They clearly understand the importance of customer service and making each client feel comfortable. I highly recommend them to anyone, and am just thrilled to be able to walk out the door with long, thick, flowing, layered hair that looks and feels like my own. I feel like I am me again, more myself than I was before. I can't wait to show it off to the world and have them guess. Maybe I'll tell them, maybe I won't. It doesn't matter anymore, because I no longer have to hide. Thank you Maria and Brian! You are a gift, and I wish you continued success.

Exceptional, Amazing, Wonderful, Loving, Fun

Exceptional, Amazing, Wonderful, Loving, Fun, Professional, Crazy, Quirky - all that within the first hour of meeting the most down to earth couple. If you want to look like a celebrity and feel as confident as ever this is the best thing ever.

ps It's midnight, what hair specialist does that??

Not Really a Testimonial

This just happened a few minutes ago but I wanted to put it on the website to show the effect of "karma".

We just did a hair system delivery (Saturday afternoon, March 7, 2009). Our client accidentally overpaid by $50. Maria realized this after the client had already left so she phoned to ask if she wanted to come back and get the money or use it as a future credit. The client said she's so delighted with the hair system that she's coming back to order a second system and also bring her daughter.

She is almost 60 years old with thinning hair (although she looks in her late 40's). She said she is so sorry she waited so long to do something about her hair. Her daughter has the same problem but now she knows she doesn't have to live with it like she did.

Anyway, it's a nice story for us and helps explain why Maria is so busy.

Delighted With Professional Service

I have known Maria when she was working with "Company Name Withheld". I am delighted with her professional service and cheerful attitude. Helps me to get back my self confidence and young look with the hair piece service Maria does for me.

Thank you!

TTM - Continue To Grow Confidence and Self Esteem

Dear Maria and Brian

I cannot express enough gratitude for all that you have done for me! Having had trichotillomania since I was a young girl I have always been very very conscious of it and always wondering about what people were thinking about me...Many people probably didn't even notice half the time but the damaging effect it has had on me and my self esteem has been life changing in a negative way. I often think of the ad on TV where the lady is trying to lose weight but she has a ball and chain wrapped around her ankle as she can never let go of that issue in her life. In the ad it follows her everywhere and affects everything she does. So this is the same with my hair pulling. The destructiveness of this disease follows me everywhere and I cannot rid myself of it or how it affects me physically (no eyelashes and thinning hair) and even more so emotionally and psychologically.

I have had the hair system now for one full week. Maria you won't believe how much less I am thinking about my hair and what others are thinking. And it seems to be lessening daily as I become more accustomed to the system. I feel more confident, I feel pretty for the first time in years and no longer am I worrying of someone noticing a bald spot. I ams so excited and thrilled...I will update you as I continue to grow in confidence and esteem.

Thank u

My Husband Had Tears in His Eyes

Hi Maria and Brian;

Cannot begin to say how HAPPY I am with my hair!! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou so much no words can explain how good I feel. My husband, Bob even had tears in his eyes when I walked in the house. He knows better than anybody how picky I am when it comes to my hair and I walked in with the biggest "MARIA" smile on my face! Maria, your smile is so contagious!!!!

I got from my car expecting to come back to your front door, because I have a card and small gift for Brian and yourself. OH MY GOD!!! or GOSH left it at home!! So please forgive me, I feel so embarrassed!!! Anyway I will pop it off in the mail tomorrow! I will also include my testimonial for you both! WOW, what a wonderful couple, partnership..."SWEET" as my daughter would say......LOVE you both and look forward to my next visit in two weeks!

Love to you both 

Thank you!

Hello - I'm "S's" mom, Joan and have enjoyed talking with both of you. I am eternally grateful to you for taking the time on a long weekend and at such short notice to rescue my daughter. She is out shopping and my girlfriend who drove her. She said she came out with her hair looking gorgeous. "S" was very, very thrilled to have met you. She can start school with her self esteem intact because of you. It doesn't get better than that. Further, she won't have to go through the annual trauma of "looking" again. I'll be living in Vancouver Oct. 3rd and look forward to meeting!

A grateful mom,
