How Stem Cell Hair Restoration Can Transform Your Hair Regrowth Experience

I first posted about the breakthrough of Stem Cell Hair Restoration last year
Picture
Hair loss is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. While there are many treatments available, from medications to hair transplant surgery, not all of them are effective or suitable for everyone. 

In recent years, stem cell hair restoration has emerged as a promising new approach to hair regrowth that offers a number of unique benefits. In this article, we’ll explore what stem cell therapy for hair restoration is, how it works, and why it might be the right choice for you.
What is Stem Cell Hair Restoration?Stem cell hair restoration is a cutting-edge treatment that uses the body’s own stem cells to stimulate hair regrowth. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can develop into many different types of cells in the body. In hair restoration, stem cells are extracted from the patient’s own body, typically from fat tissue or blood, and then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth.
The idea behind stem cell therapy for hair restoration is that by introducing these powerful cells into the scalp, they can help regenerate damaged hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth. Unlike traditional hair transplant surgery, which involves transplanting individual hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another, stem cell hair restoration aims to rejuvenate the entire scalp and promote overall hair health.

The surprising and inspiring reason so many nail salons are Vietnamese owned

One of the most frequently seen buildings in any town is a nail salon. It seems you can't go more than a few blocks without seeing one in most cities and if you frequent them, you've probably noticed that many of them are owned and operated by Vietnamese-Americans. There may have been some curiosity about this floating around or maybe people simply assumed it was always this way so they didn't ask.

But it turns out, Vietnamese owned nail shops boomed after the Vietnam War when America had an influx of refugees from the small country. Soogia, a small business owner and social media creator took to the internet to explain exactly why so many nail salons are owned by Vietnamese people after several followers asked her the question.

Your ManiPedi prices may increase in January

As of January 1, 2025, California will no longer allow nail salons to have independent booth renters operating in their salons and all nail techs at any salon will be classified as employees!

Until now, our industry has been shielded from AB 5, because we worked to get a legal carve-out for hair, skin and nail workers and barbers when that law was working its way through the Legislature in 2019. Unfortunately, due to the Legislators’ concern about one segment of our industry, nail techs and their establishment owners were only given a temporary exception that is set to expire this coming January.

** Fact: Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) went into effect January 1, 2020 in California, and has real implications for the beauty service industry.

AB5 requires certain employers to classify and treat all workers, including independent contractors, as employees, however, certain occupations are exempt from AB 5 regulations, including hairdressers, manicurists, licensed barbers, and estheticians.
​
That said, even though hair salons are exempt, there are still other tests that dictate how employees are classified

Boys, what’s going on? Please explain the popular “broccoli” haircut

The mullet and the man-bun. The buzz and the bowl. The Caesar and the crew. The Mohawk, the faux-hawk, the no-hawk. Men’s hair, particularly young men’s hair, has enjoyed a rich history—some moments have been as high as a pompadour; others, we’d just as soon comb over. But what’s happening today isn’t just another post on the Pinterest board of boys’ hair.

“Imagine a piece of broccoli on the top of your head—that’s the general idea,” says hairstylist Chris McMillan, owner of Chris McMillan the Salon, in Beverly Hills.

“You know, some of these boys are actually getting perms,” explains Saviano. “You have to remember that the technology of perms hasn’t changed since we were young, so you have all these boys willing to sit with perm rods on their head in the salon for two and a half hours. They’ll do whatever it takes to get the curls.”
