This year is Hair Club of New England's 30th year in business. Barth currently owns the New England franchise locations (8 throughout MA, CT, NH and RI) and is Hair Club's most successful franchisee.

Did you know:

• About 30% of people have hair loss by age 30; 50% by age 50

- 40% of hair loss suffers are women

• Hair loss-and how to treat it-is something that is woefully misunderstood

Hair Club is an interesting mix-it's not a 'necessity' like medication for a chronic illness, but it's more than a 'splurge' as hair loss and the resulting loss of self-esteem it truly does affect people's lives. Years ago, Hair Club realized that this is a product that needs to be accessible to everyone, so pretty much since the company's inception, financing has been available for all perspective customers.
