A full head of glossy hair is often considered a symbol of health and beauty. But for countless individuals experiencing significant hair loss due to various conditions like alopecia or thinning, achieving such aesthetic perfection can be a distant dream. Renae Miller, a seasoned hair replacement specialist based in Painesville Township, has dedicated more than two decades of her life to help such individuals regain not only their lost hair but also their lost confidence.
Drawing from her extensive experience at Complete Image located in Mayfield Village, Renae has helped numerous clients transform their appearances and attitudes. The clientele, who are initially overwhelmed with insecurity and low self-esteem due to their hair loss, go through a whirlwind of emotions as they commence their journey towards getting a fuller head of hair. Witnessing their happiness unfold once they see the change is what keeps Renae motivated.
Many people come in with a sort of blind faith, as Renae puts it. They enter this transformative journey, hoping for the best, while staring at their rapidly thinning hair, she explains. While their faith is commendable, the transformation these folks are hoping for is only made possible due to the vast strides the hair replacement industry has made over the years.
Decades back, synthetic and natural hair used for replacements felt heavy and sported a dull, unnatural appearance. Today, they are lighter, more natural looking, and can seamlessly blend with one’s existing hair. In addition to this, the production process is strictly regulated to ensure the materials used are not highly flammable and that the hair is properly sanitized to the point where the original DNA is removed.
Most importantly, the strict quality control efforts made by this industry are all worth it as the newer hairpieces, also referred to as ‘cranial prostheses’ in many circumstances, are often covered to some degree by insurance companies – another important aspect that has contributed to their growing popularity.
Renae’s foray into the world of hair replacement happened fortuitously. While working as a cosmetologist at a salon named Ladies & Gentlemen in Mentor soon after high school, Renae found herself developing a deep interest in helping those grappling with hair loss. Her stint at a replacement clinic only added more depth to her understanding of the industry. Eventually, this relentless pursuit led to Renae setting up her own establishment.
Having personally witnessed the transformative journey of her clients, Renae believes in understanding the aspirations and lifestyles of those seeking her services. Her process starts with intimate consultations discussing preferred hair styles, color, density, and clients’ day-to-day activities. She emphasizes that the goal is to enhance the client’s natural look rather than transforming it completely.
An integral part of her service is providing private rooms for clients, ensuring a tranquil environment for discussing concerns or challenges. With her non-judgmental approach, she builds a supportive atmosphere offering the necessary patience and understanding that are essential during these emotional journeys.
Custom-fit hair systems are created using specific measurements, ensuring they sit perfectly. Lightweight and breathable caps of complementary colors allow for the best outcome. The use of specially formulated medical adhesives provide longevity, permitting wearers to engage in activities including swimming and showering without worrying about the stability of their new hair.
Complete Image’s stellar offerings aren’t limited to hair services. Renae and her team also extend their expertise to those seeking prosthetic breasts post-mastectomy. With patronage from not only Ohio but also its surrounding states, Renae credits her team’s personable approach, meticulous service, and dedicated support in building their reputable standing. The transformation journey begins with a free consultation. The ultimate reward, as per Renae, is the newfound confidence that clients gain, which has the power to be transformative and life changing.
