Jim came to us as both patient and professional. As a stylist, he understood the visual impact of a good hairline—but living with recession himself gave him a new kind of urgency. We spent over an hour designing his hairline, mapping not just where it should sit today, but how it would age over the next two decades. The approach was conservative by design, preserving donor supply for future work while delivering the structure he wanted now. What stands out most isn’t just the result—it’s watching Jim move through the world without a hat for the first time in years. He now styles hair for our patients, bringing empathy and technical skill that only comes from walking the same path.
