About Us
Hi. My name is Lee Millard, and I’m a co-founder of HairJunkie.com. I’m also a very happy hair restoration patient. I’ve been involved in the hair restoration industry for more than 15 years as a patient, model, spokesperson and hair loss consultant.
If you’re experiencing hair loss, I understand the psychological torment you’re going through. I remember the emotional pain I felt when I was losing my hair. I was self conscious about it all the time. It made me look and feel older. It crushed my self-esteem.
Making the decision to have my hair restored is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. It looks so natural that no one knows…unless I tell them. Not even my stylist!
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help men and women of all ages become emotionally transformed from medical therapy, non-surgical and surgical hair restoration. I want to help YOU with YOUR hair loss issues!
Take a look at my BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS. What a difference!
My Background
Prior to my work in the hair restoration industry, I was a school teacher, wrestling coach, track coach and weight-training coach. I was a gym owner, bodybuilding competitor, model, and contest promoter. I worked in radio, television, and movies. I am also a victim of genetic hair loss.
I want you to know my story, and I want to hear your story. If you want honest, unbiased information about hair loss, I can help you. I’ll tell you everything you need to know. I’ll tell you about medical therapies, non-surgical and surgical options. Then you can make an educated decision on what to do. You’ll have the facts. You’ll have answers to all your questions. You will deal directly with me. I will be your personal consultant and walk you through every single step of the process. The best part about it. It won’t cost you a dime.
My story starts in Reading, PA, where I taught 9th Grade American History from 1976-1980. I was also a wrestling, track and weight-training coach. I worked as Spider-Man on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ in 1979, and later performed as the webbed wonder in a Las Vegas Show called, “THE HEAT IS ON”
Because of my love for sports and bodybuilding, I exited the teaching profession and opened Millard’s Fitness Center in Reading, PA. in 1980. I also began promoting and competing in bodybuilding shows.
By age 27, I noticed I was losing my hair. I knew what was happening, but kept it to myself. I didn’t want anyone to think it bothered me. I was in denial about my condition.
My love for bodybuilding also inspired me to create an entertainment service called MUSCLEGRAM. From 1982-1995 I performed my classy bodybuilding routines for birthday parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, weddings, divorces, holidays and almost every event imaginable. The first 3 years my shows were in Pennsylvania, the last ten years I was in Las Vegas. I’ve lived in Vegas almost 25 years.
By 1993, my hair loss was bothering me so much that I decided to have my first hair transplant surgery. Micro and mini-graft procedures were still very popular at that time. The price was $28 per graft, and doctors would only do 200-300 grafts per session. A 200 graft case was $5600!! Very small sessions and they didn’t make a significant change. Nonetheless, it was better than nothing.
In 1985, I won Mr. Las Vegas. I was in the best shape of my life, BUT I was still losing my hair! I knew what was coming down the road. I was destined to be bald like my Grandpa.
As my hair continued to disappear, I had more procedures to keep up with the loss. I was chasing my tail. I wondered if it was ever going to stop. There was no Propecia at that time, and I wasn’t educated enough to take a chance on Rogaine. My hair was falling out as fast as I was putting it in, and I didn’t like what I was seeing. I didn’t want to be a BALD GUY!
I lucked out in the 80’s. BIG HAIR was in, so I grew it long and camouflaged my scalp. Look close. My hair in front was disappearing.
Despite my hair loss, I was having the time of my life. I was modeling, doing TV commercials, working the fights, doing bit parts in movies and meeting a lot of great people. Nothing big, but it was a blast! The problem: I was still losing my hair. It was tough to deal with. I didn’t talk about it, but it bothered me.
In 1990 I began promoting Bodybuilding & Fitness Competitions in Vegas with my partner Steve Karr. Our shows included the NPC LAS VEGAS CLASSIC, WORLD GYM CLASSIC, IRONMAN NATURAL, and NEVADA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS. (The 19th Annual NPC LAS VEGAS CLASSIC will be held at Cashman Theater on November 8, 2008)
In 1994 I was hired as the Promotions Director for New Country 95.5 KWNR. I thoroughly enjoyed working in country music. Country music stars and the country music fans are really down to earth. I enjoyed my job, but my hair loss continued. A big smile hides a lot of pain. No one knew how much my hair loss bothered me.
I’m not a doctor. I’m a hair loss expert with more than 15 years in the hair restoration industry. I’ve worked with some of the best doctors in the world providing men & women with the information they’ve needed about hair loss. I’ve helped them decide if they need medical therapy, a non-surgical solution, a surgical solution or a combination of these for their hair loss.
The most frustrating part of my 15 year hair loss journey was GETTING ALL THE FACTS I NEEDED so I could make the right decision about what to do. It’s very frustrating when you don’t know WHO to talk to, or WHAT QUESTIONS to ask.
I was losing my hair, and I wanted to know how to fix the problem. I wanted to fix it right away. I wanted to fix it for good.
When I visited a hair transplantation doctor, I was told I needed a hair transplant. When I visited a non-surgical hair restoration company I was told I needed a "strand by strand custom made hairpiece". When I called those companies with the infomercials on TV, they promised me my hair back by rubbing liquid on my scalp or my money back. When I called about laser therapy, they told me I needed to try laser for at least one year!
I understand and appreciate that people are in business and need to make a profit, but I was confused about my choices. Who could I trust? I wanted what was best for me. I needed honest answers from well educated people.
I started HairJunkie.com so YOU WILL GET THE ANSWERS YOU WANT. YOU WILL KNOW YOUR OPTIONS. I’m giving YOU the opportunity to tap into my experience. I will HELP YOU find that solution that’s best FOR YOU! This information along with my ability to give you realistic expectations will help you with that hair loss burden you carry around with you like I did for more than 15 years!"
I’m here for YOU. I’m here to give you solutions for YOUR hair loss. I don’t work for any one doctor, so I can offer an unbiased opinion and let you know what is best for you.
If you want to know the truth…the facts…the answers to your hair loss questions, please fill out our contact forms located on either the surgical or non-surgical solutions pages, or call me at (702) 810-0208. I look forward to hearing from you.
