I'm starting chemo. What do I do first?

The Purchasing Process

It is important that you set up an appointment immediately after you are diagnosed to get fitted for an MHP Hair System. That way, it will be in place by the time your hair begins to fall out.

Our patented process involves harvesting a small portion of your own hair from the back of your head before it falls out from the effects of chemotherapy. We use this hair to recreate a natural hairline in your MHP that will replicate the texture, wave, and color of your own hair, resulting in the most natural look. This process requires you to have long hair, but it is done in such a discreet fashion that it will not appear that you have lost any hair before the chemotherapy begins causing hair loss. This way, you will retain the exact same hairline and hairstyle you had before beginning treatment.

Patients with medically-related hair loss due to chemotherapy who would like to obtain an MHP Hair System should do the following:

1. When your doctor recommends chemotherapy, take digital photos of how you wear your hair from all four sides.
2. Along with the prescription and diagnosis code, you’ll need a statement in writing for insurance purposes. The statement must indicate that the MHP Hair System is prescribed for your mental well being.
3. Once your doctor has prescribed an MHP Hair System, you should get an estimate. Visit our insurance info page for more information.
4. What makes the MHP Hair System unique is that Joseph Paris Naturally can cut and save your own hair before you lose it. Joseph Paris Naturally can then use that saved hair to recreate your hairline with the MHP Hair System. These are ideas designed to help you through an emotionally trying experience. Don’t cut your hair short because you don’t want to draw attention to yourself by changing your look. The advantage of an MHP Hair System is that it gives you time to make an informed decision, and adds the comfort of knowing that it can be designed using your own hair.
5. The beauty of the MHP Hair System is that it can be ready to wear before you lose your hair. This new innovation allows you to look natural the moment side-effect hair loss occurs. In the past, this would have taken months to accomplish. The MHP Hair System will give you additional confidence knowing that you will not have to be without your natural look for even one day.
6. No matter what your specific medical condition, after purchasing an MHP Hair System the State of New York will refund the sales tax for your purchase. Download this reimbursement form, and give it to your tax preparer.
