Erwinsellsheet:Layout 1 5/11/10 12:50 PM Page 2who isJane GenesiJA Alternatives was founded nearly 30 years ago byJane Genesi. In those days Jane was involved with theoriginal group of people that eventually founded theHair Club for Men. She realized early on that her basicideas regarding hair replacement were dramatically differentform HCM's. It was then that Jane opened thefirst J.A. Alternatives location in River Edge NJ.Even then, Jane realized that she had to differentiateherself from the rest of the hair replacement industry inorder to survive and grow. In the early 1980’s she iscredited with running the first long form infomercialadvertisement for hair replacement. Jane has been thedynamic and charismatic spokesperson in thoseTV advertisements for over 20 years. To this day,that infomercial format is widely copied by hairreplacement companies and hair Transplantcompanies alike.Nine years ago Jane Genesi contacted Hollywood hairreplacement legend Erwin Kupitz. Erwin is knownworldwide for his extraordinary wig making and hairreplacement designs. He routinely designs for thebiggest movie studios in Hollywood and works withnearly all of the biggest movie stars, as well as starsin the music world. A quick Google of Erwin’sname reveals pages of his award winning workand credentials.Jane’s question was simple, “Why should movie starsand only wealthy people have access to the high levelwork of someone like Erwin Kupitz?” Jane’s centralidea was to bring this level of product and design tothe average hair replacement client. It was then that apartnership and a personal friendship between JAAlternatives and Erwin Kupitz was formed.Through the years Jane Genesi has remained dedicatedto bringing the most advanced hair replacementtechnology and products to her clients. She is responsiblefor JAA’s commitment to constantly movingforward and never accepting the status quo. Along theway she managed to open 5 more locations for a totalof 6 today in addition to taking on a business partner.In 1986 Jim McGowan found JA Alternatives as aclient. He joined the JAA staff and quickly became thecentral sales and marketing engine for the company.Jim brought a solid advertising background, salesexpertise, and a genuine love for the business to JAA.Today, In addition to being a partner in the company,Jim runs the day to day operations and produces all ofthe TV, print, and web marketing for JA Alternativesin-house. This has allowed JAA to carefully controltheir marketing content and to “cost effectively”produce high end advertising.Like hundreds of other hair replacement studios, JAAlternatives relied on the major “wholesale” haircompanies for products. Although there are severalwholesale companies that are acceptable, JAAclients were constantly asking for higherquality hair, more precise ventilation, more naturallooking hairlines, better base construction, andfiner, more delicate base materials. Along the wayJAA even partnered with selected wholesalersto produce specific products, but that neverproduced the product level they were after.
