^^ Yes. Not often. But about three times over the past 30 years.
He was recommended by a doctor friend. So I was confident in his knowledge.
Haven't seen him in over ten years. But the three times I saw him (the first 15 years of having it) the options were the same -- and not optimal.
And I've Googled/researched alopecia treatment from time to time over the years. I still don't see anything all that promising TBH. Which is fine. I accepted that "I'm not my hair" a long time ago. I'm not devastated or down at all.
At this point I'm just wondering if it's worth keeping the little bit of hair I have. That's all.

Thus, thinking of sheering it off.
A friend’s daughter has alopecia. Last time I saw her, she was not wearing a wig and she has absolutely no hair. She looked great!
You should always do what's right for you in that particular stage of your life. From a man's perspective, it's not sexually attractive. If that's not your concern, then that's fine and you should focus on your health.

That should be "from this writer's perspective". Not all men are attracted to the same things, and we can each only speak for ourselves, not an entire gender.

I lost my hair during chemo (breast cancer in 2006) - I wore a wig when I went outside.
At home (wigless) - My husband kept telling me how sexy I looked.
When my hair grew back, it was very gray. I left it alone.
"Does anyone have any stories or thoughts on the perceptions of bald women?"
yes.
here is one:
if there is a consistent way
to reduce the "shiny-ness",
do it.
Just stay away from abusive bullies like Chris Rock and you'll be fine.
Or maybe get a very good wig? Other option - stay away from The Academy Awards, where appearances are everything.
The abusive bully was Will Smith. I saw it.
An acquaintance with Alopecia Areata, opened a wig store and started a local foundation and support group.
Poor Jada Pinkett Smith...boo hoo.
I've known attractive women who choose to shave their heads. I have known women undergoing cancer treatments who wear wigs, and some who don't.
The ones who choose not to cover their hair loss usually want to talk about it. It will be mentioned by others.
