He and his boss went together and both are happy they did it. He does not mind the short hair look now, especially in the Summer.
Being barely into his 30s he was not happy where nature was taking him. He talked to others who had done this in Turkey and they all had great experiences and full heads of hair, so he went for it. It was about 1/10 the cost in Turkey compared to US options like Bosley. There are also some less-expensive Latin American options but Turkey is the cheapest and they are known for doing this well.
The first couple of months his head looked really ugly if he took his cap off but he did not mind. There is a "shock period" in which remaining hair may be lost, but it grows back. He looked like an alien for a couple of months but, fortunately, works from home.
Every month you can see more and more growing in and the trend looks really good even if it is still rather short.
He is happy he did it.
