It’s a special day at Anderson Center for Hair. We have a very special guest in from a long way away, Spencer Stevenson, aka Spex. I’ve known Spex for just about 10 years or so. And this is the first time that I’ve had an opportunity to really sit down and talk to you about, you know, your history in the field of hair restoration. I was a repair patient. I’ve gone into having surgery at the age of 24. I had four strip surgeries by a company I won’t mention names, but back in, you know, 25 years ago now. So, that led me, unfortunately, on a journey. And prior to that, I was, you know, I really struggled with my hair. I tried a lot of different processes, techniques. I wore a wig. It completely traumatized me. I was well known for my hair. And when I started to lose my hair, I really kind of paralyzed me. And I lost I felt at the time a lot of identity, self-esteem, self-worth. My journey has been arduous, laborious, costly, labor-intensive, financially grueling. And it enabled me to get a message through my journey. I felt a calling to make sure people didn’t make the same mistakes I made. The amount of information that is out there is frightening. Yeah. And the lack of accurate information that’s out there is unbelievable. So, the role that I’ve performed was really needed at the time. It needed more now than ever. That’s basically what my mission is about.
