A Unified Hair Loss Industry Voice

The American Hair Loss Council represents the Manufacturer, Distributor, Salon Owner and Medical Specialist to mutually support and provide credibility to the hair restoration profession.

Each member is required to be practicing hair replacement services or be a manufacturer, distributor or vendor.

Our members are the best of the best.  Each member diligently cares about the state of our industry and how our trade is publicly regarded. Our members are on the front lines daily helping individuals seeking to reclaim what they’ve lost and most of the time it is much more than hair, it is self-image, confidence and dignity. Our members are dedicated to making the lives of men, women, and children who suffer from hair loss better.
