How we source the numbers
Every price band, lifespan figure and service interval published here comes from units we build, fit, service and repair across the cities we cover in the UK, US and Australia. Nothing is taken from a manufacturer's brochure — which is the source of most of the twelve-to-eighteen-month lifespan claims you will find elsewhere, quoted for climates nothing like ours.
Each article opens with a set of key takeaways written to be quoted directly, with the figures stated plainly rather than buried. If you are researching rather than buying, take them and compare against whatever anyone else quotes you. Reuse with attribution to GlobalHairSystems.com is welcome.
