Jon Renau Gets Real is a dedicated space for real people with real hair loss; we do not use professional models or actors. Instead, we spotlight the unique stories and hair loss journeys of everyday people. The goal? To help validate those experiencing hair loss and shed light on all the alternative hair solutions available today.

People often believe that wigs are the only solution to hair loss, but there are countless solutions available for every unique situation. This year, Jon Renau Gets Real 2022 is all about hair replacement—a non-surgical technology for those wanting a long-lasting, highly realistic solution. We know hair replacement WORKS, but we wanted to know how it FELT to wear a hair replacement system, and how wearers lives were affected after wearing their new hairpieces.

So, we connected with some of our valuable hair replacement partners to explore the opportunity to interview their clients about their experience with hair replacement. First, we reached out to Bernard Ory—an internationally recognized hair replacement professional and educator in the field—who introduced us to his clients.

Next, we met with Kevin—a second-generation stylist and educator who specializes in hair restoration and hair extensions—who introduced us to David and Jordan. Below are their stories of transformation and re-found confidence after hair replacement. 

Meet David

Tell us about how you decided you wanted a solution to your hair loss?

So, I started losing my hair super early around 23 or 24 years old, it was a constant struggle to style it to hide bald spots or always wearing hats. I started researching hair surgeries and implants and stumbled across one of Kevin’s videos of the hair systems, and I was hooked ever since.

How were you introduced to hair replacement?

I found Kevin's videos on YouTube and it just so happened that he lived and worked in the next city over. Got in contact with him right away and had a consultation, picked a plan and have been styling ever since :)

What helped you make the decision to try hair replacement? Were there any other solutions you investigated (or used) first?

Oh, I tried a ton of other things. All the shampoos to help “regrow your hair”. None of it works and looks realistic. 

What changes have you noticed in your day-to-day life after wearing alternative hair?

Confidence for sure! Your hair and how you manage it and style it is a huge display of your personality and originality. So, when that is taken from you and you are forced to look a certain way, it's just very crippling and saps the confidence right out of you.

Meet Jordan

Tell us about how you decided you wanted a solution to your hair loss?

I wanted to be able to change hair styles and feel more confident with my appearance.

How were you introduced to hair replacement?

I researched non-surgical solutions and originally chose Micro Scalp Pigmentation (MSP). Then I wanted a change and found hair replacement.

What helped you make the decision to try hair replacement? Were there any other solutions you investigated (or used) first?

I had a consultation with my stylist. We spoke about the pros and cons. He made me feel good about my choice. I used micro scalp pigmentation first. I didn’t like that I couldn’t change my style.

What changes have you noticed in your day-to-day life after wearing alternative hair?

If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice, with all the experience you have now, what would it be?

Do it sooner.
