HEAD QUARTERS HAIR TRANSPLANT Xavier Rush
What plans do you have for 2019
The core project for 2019 is Head Quarters Hair Transplants clinic – a beautifully designed and built hair transplant clinic in the heart of Cardiff with a world-class hair transplant surgeon leading the project. We are aiming to restore men’s confidence and deliver the platinum standard of transplant, patient experience and after care service. The brand name and image is about making hair transplants less “medical”– in the off-putting sense – to men, particularly those that rarely frequent doctors or hospitals, don’t talk about their health, avoid medical environments and don’t relate well to clinic terminology. Therefore we want to make hair transplants more accessible to men, making it more high street and like a “normal day at the office” – hence the name “Head Quarters /HQ”.
