Following many requests from interested new clients, and past clients who have received our scalp pigmentation treatment in the UK, I’m very pleased to give you an update on the most recent developments regarding our clinics in the United States.
The following dates are our proposed launch dates:
-
Los Angeles – September 2011
-
New York – October 2011
-
Chicago – January 2012
Setting up HIS Hair USA, and firstly understanding and then obtaining all the necessary legal papers and facilities to operate within the USA, has been an interesting experience to say the least.
We have had to obtain E2 visas for our staff to be able to legally work in the US. We have had to go through the company formation process to obtain Certificates of Incorporation and Certificate of Registration, open bank accounts, meet with both the department of Public Heath and Health and Mental Hygiene Department, obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number, (EIN), obtain a social security number, attend USA environmental / health courses, recruit US staff, obtain sufficient insurance, find suitable premises to locate our facilities, agree contracts on the building space, commence the refurbishment of the space, as well as sourcing and transporting all the necessary equipment for our office and treatment rooms.
Of course, throughout this exercise we have tried to meet as many people considering treatment in the US as possible, whilst keeping people up to date with our progress and planned opening dates.
If there is any change to the above dates, we will endeavour to inform everyone as soon as possible, however at this stage the above dates are looking achievable.
I hope you find this information useful and I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
Ian Watson
CEO – HIS Hair USA
