<excerpt:> Startup's motto: Gone today, hair tomorrow April 29, 2002 Posted: 4:51 PM EDT (2051 GMT) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- As entrepreneurs cast about Silicon Valley for lucrative new ideas, Mike Blaylock thinks he has a found a gold mine in an underground vault he hopes to fill with hair. The tresses will come from the heads of men and women who dread the day they might go bald. Blaylock's San Francisco startup, Hairogenics Inc., is offering to preserve the strands until science finds a cure for baldness. He says that given the advances in cloning, it's only a matter of time before someone finds a way to create hair from the DNA of a preserved hair sample. When that day comes, Blaylock says bald people will be glad they paid Hairogenics to stash their hair in a climate-controlled vault 14 feet below a Portland, Oregon, hair salon. The cost: $49.95 for the initial hair collection kit and a $10 annual storage fee. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
