The Creation of Trichoview | Steve Barth - 023

HAIRPOD™

On this episode of HairPod, I speak with long-term client and founding father of HairClub, Steve Barth. We discuss his hair loss journey, his work with HairClub, and the development of TrichoView. We dive into the story of HairClub and how it has continually aimed to address hair loss from all angles.

From Hair Loss to HairClub: Developing Trichoview

Steve’s hair loss led him to HairClub over thirty years ago. Originally a client, Steve eventually decided to pursue a career with the company. He loved working with HairClub and was an enthusiast from the start. There are almost as many reasons for hair loss as solutions; there are just as many types and stages. TrichoView was created as an analytical and diagnostic tool to help identify potential causes of hair loss and the current condition of the hair and scalp to form a more comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual's situation.

HairClub’s Evolution: Trichologists, Hair Loss Therapy and Scalp Analysis

Steve shares how he worked with trichologists to develop multiple offerings, including TrichoView, a diagnostic software system for in-depth hair and scalp analysis. The system allows HairClub to identify specific properties of the hair and scalp in addition to tracking progress. TrichoView was also implemented to identify accessible solutions for those in the earlier stages of their hair loss journey. Through the development of this system, Steve progressively changed HairClub's offerings from being primarily end solutions to addressing and monitoring all facets and stages of hair loss.

HairClub Systems and Technology: Hair Loss Treatments and Hair Restoration

Steve stresses the importance of seeking advice from a hair loss specialist, not just for the insight but for the emotional support. Having experienced hair loss himself, he knows how challenging the experience of hair loss can be, both emotionally and financially. He shares how he has always appreciated HairClub prioritizing anonymity and accessibility. He analogizes the pursuit of hair loss solutions to getting in shape or going to the gym, pointing out that hair loss can be frustrating because it feels out of control. It requires work and self-motivation to stay healthy and to find solutions, but it also takes guidance, education, and perseverance.
