Happy Head vs Nurx
Happy Head: A dermatologist-led compounding service that has stopped publishing what anything costs. Its own FAQ gives one figure - compounded formulas run $59 to $119 a month - and the price for your formula appears only after you have finished the questionnaire.
Nurx: A women's telehealth service whose hair offer is a compounded topical. It is one of the few here that states both numbers plainly: the medication is cheap, the consultation is not.

| Watch out for | You cannot find out what Happy Head will charge you without completing a dermatology questionnaire first. Every per-product price it used to publish was gone by October 2026; the only number on the site is a $59-$119 range for compounded formulas, and the standalone orals are described as cheaper without saying by how much. Re-checked by hand on 24 Oct 2026. | The $80 initial consultation is the highest upfront fee in this index - four times Dr. B's $19 and more than three times Lemonaid's $25. At $20 a month for the medication, the consultation alone is the first four months. Women only; no finasteride, no dutasteride, no oral option. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Happy Head · Nurx.
