Company History

Today JA Alternatives has over 68 employees throughout their 7 locations in New York, New Jersey, and Florida.

Even though it is a relatively large staff we have always considered ourselves to be a family since we all share the same vision of what a hair replacement company should be. Creating the most natural looking hair replacement solutions for our clients along with delivering the highest level of personal customer service are at the core of that vision.

All of our work is performed one on one in private rooms and all of our initial consultations are free. Visit any one of our locations and decide for yourself if JA Alternatives is the right choice for you.
