San Diego, California, USA – They may have been bad news for Caesar, but this year the ides of March brought the opening week of San Diego’s sleekest new “male-only” salon called, AlphaMale! Two years of concept and design development went into the recreation of the old “barber shop” into a place where men can go and feel comfortable.
 
     AlphaMale CEO, Marco Panattoni, explains, “We took out time to fully understand what the male client wanted in a salon experience: Privacy, details in design, and exclusivity were qualities many men could not find in a salon or barbershop, and we decided AlphaMale would be the solution.”
 
     Kimberly Hurtado, AlphaMale’s president, adds, “The details in amenities really make AlphaMale a stand out. We also offer free wi-fi, complimentary bar and door-to-door services for each client who comes to AlphaMale for their salon or barbershop needs. Throughout Southern California, no other barbershop can claim to have the level of service and sophistication that AlphaMale possesses. We’re excited to bring such an unprecedented concept to Southern Californians and beyond.”
 
     The shop’s services include haircuts, hot lather shaves, cleanups, manicures, waxing, coloring and shoe shines. All this takes place in an environment most men would consider “heavenly”: private stations decked out with HDTV screens and plush leather chairs promise a discreet, comfortable service. The décor is a blend of cathedral ceilings, dangling sexy lights, and black lacquered motifs with a nightlife façade. AlphaMale blends precision salon expertise with ultra lux service and design, exclusively for men.

New York, New York, USA - In a survey conducted by The Women's Hair Loss Project, a website uniting and empowering women around the world who suffer from hair loss, one-fifth of 517 female respondents said that they began to see signs of hair loss between the ages of 15 and 20. These results debunk the myth that women primarily suffer from hair thinning as they age. It also reaffirms scientific studies linking hair loss to the use of birth control pills.
 
     Website survey participants were asked: "How old were you when your hair loss first started?" Results signified that hair loss onset is strongly weighted during one's teen years, tapering off to just three percent after age 60.
 
     Complete survey results are as follows:
 
     • Age 15-20: 20%
     • Age 20-25: 19%
     • Age 30-35: 18%
     • Age 40-50: 17%
     • Age 25-30: 14%
     • Age 50-60: 9%
     • Age 60+: 3%
 
     "Information from both member emails and our recent survey are telling," explained the Project's founder. "A considerable number of women start to lose their hair at a young age, coinciding with the use of birth control pills. This can be extraordinarily crippling to a woman's self-esteem at any age, but even more so during these extremely delicate years of self-discovery."
 
     Though surprising to most women, even The Mayo Clinic warns that birth control pill use may result in hair loss. "The Women's Hair Loss Project aims to educate women about various risks, while fostering a supportive and empathetic environment," she continues. According to The American Hair Loss Association (ALHA), all women, especially those with a family history of hair loss, should be aware of the drugs potential for exacerbating the issue, recommending the use of low-androgen index pills or another non-hormonal form of birth control.
