After 1 year post operation, I can say that my experience with Harley Street Hair Clinic (HSHC) was great. Compared with a previous operation that I had with another clinic, my experience with HSHC was a night and day difference (improvement).
I'm very happy with my results thus far. I know that I will always have a bit of a bald patch and a thinning look, but I emphasized with HSHC that I wanted to achieve more fullness and coverage on top while maintaining a natural appearance.
I would recommend to anyone going for a hair operation to be realistic about what may be achievable. I recommend also, regardless of the clinic that one goes to, that any prospective candidate think about and talk about their desired outcomes with family/friends or a trusted person, but most certainly with the clinic and the doctor(s) working with you. Emphasize and repeat what is important to you and make sure that it is not ignored.
From the beginning, with HSHC, I felt at ease, and I was able to discuss my goals, strategy, and key concerns. I had multiple meetings with Will and with Dr. Vida ahead of the procedure, and I did not feel rushed. The team paid attention to my notes and what I wanted to focus on. They, of course, provided their expertise - I felt that the strategy we employed and the results we achieved were collaborative.
The doctors and technicians at HSHC pay attention to detail. They have done and continue to do the work to understand different skin and hair types to try to give prospective patients honest expectations and the best outcomes. They care about doing a good job, and the clinic is clean and professionally maintained.
Post operation, HSHC provided care instructions and guidance. Will was very responsive to any questions that I had, and (because I am not based too far away from the clinic) it was easy to schedule follow-up appointments with Will and Dr. Vida to check on and discuss progress.
Again, to any prospective patients or candidates, be sure to follow post-care advice and guidance!!
I learned about HSHC from one of their previous clients, who recommended them. HSHC certainly have my recommendation, and I will definitely be in touch with them if and when I am ready to consider some more work. Thank you HSHC!
The experience was very great and all-the staffs were very professional i have a good looking after by all the members in the clinic they explain the procedure vey clearly, and the follow up was very good i will recommend this clinic to all my friends I would like to thank all the staff and in particular DR Grey Vida, William Bennett and Mr Laykur for their care and professionalism.
From my initial consultation right through to the completion of my two-day hair transplant surgery yesterday the overall experience at HSHC has been as good as I can possibly imagine.I visited around half a dozen clinics and took my time researching each one and eventually narrowed it down to two, one of which was HS Hair Clinic. To anyone reading this, do take the time to have multiple consultations and look around different clinics; they really do vary quite a lot, and it's important to find the one that fits best. I've seen clinics where the vibe felt wrong to others where it felt right, and it's not always the most expensive ones that seemed better.At my initial consultation I was met by Will took me through some of the options and what was involved. I was then introduced to Dr Ness, who assessed my hair, discussed my expectations and what he thought was a realistic outcome.It was made clear that should I decide to proceed, Dr Ness would be my surgeon, which I thought was important and was preferable to the possibility of meeting a different surgeon for the first time on the day of the operation. I think it's important you get a positive feeling from the person who might be operating on you, and I certainly did. It also allowed me to research the surgeon online prior to booking.I was also encouraged to ask any follow-up questions via email to help with my decision, and the clincher was learning that Dr Ness would have a more hands-on approach to the whole process, dedicated only to me during the day; the only aspect handed to the technicians would be the implantation of the follicles; all the initial preparations, extractions, incisions was to be done by Dr Ness. For me this was important as I wasn't comfortable with the surgeon splitting his time amongst multiple patients (as was the case with another clinic that I almost went with).I received clear pre-op instructions a week or so before the operation, and a call from Will the day before to check-in on how I was feeling. I confessed to having been up and down in previous weeks in terms of whether I wanted to go through with it and had even considered cancelling a few months previously, making up silly excuses in my head as to why I shouldn't do it. I'm so glad I did not act on these "middle of the night thoughts"; in the last few weeks before the operation I actually became really excited about it. My mind was well and truly made up!Mine was a two-day operation; first day would be extracting follicles from the back of my head and transplanting them on the front/sides. Second day would be taking from the sides and filling in the crown.On the first day, my wife came in with me and we "designed" my new hairline with Dr Ness, who clearly has vast experience in his field. For example, he pointed out that nobody has a symmetrical face, and actually if you design a symmetrical hairline it can look a bit artificial - almost as it you've stuck the hair on (like a lego person!). So he deliberately varied it slightly on each side. I would never have thought of this.Each of the two days followed the same format; after choosing from a menu for what I wanted to eat later for lunch (they grab items from the local Pret), I changed into a gown and was led into the operating room, where some other friendly technicians were waiting.I want to point out that everybody, at every point, made me feel completely at ease. They were totally aware that this is a really big deal for the person having the transplant, and they made me feel as comfortable as possible.After the obligatory shaving of my head on day one I was given various tablets and they explained what each one was for, including some temazepam to help me relax.The first step was to lie face down and have injections around the back of the head (day one) or sides (day two) so that the extractions could take place painlessly. These small pricks were probably the most uncomfortable of the whole process, but it's just a few minutes of mild discomfort and after that they used a little machine/pen to begin extracting all the follicles. It was actually a pleasant experience, lying their relaxed while they plucked out the follicles one-by-one.Later on I would turn onto my back and Dr Ness would make the incisions and then the follicles, having been assessed/sorted by the technicians were implanted. This was all completely painless and surprisingly pleasant.I occasionally drifted off to sleep but a lot of the time during the second phase it was great to have a chat with Dr Ness and some of the technicians about anything and everything, their careers, my careers, everyday life, whatever. They are a genuinely nice group of people.I have detailed aftercare instructions and medication and they already called to check up on me.Overall, I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough.
I did alot of research into different clinics both UK and Turkey. From the start harley street hair clinic stood out with the information and advice provided, not pushy at all unlike others. Very thorough online initial consultation and again with the inperson consultation. Made it very clear on red flags to look out for which I had noticed with other clinics. On the day of procedure everything went smoothly. Will and the team did a great job explaining and looking after me. I was surprised at how effortless and painless it was. I fell asleep throughout both days. Recovery and after care plan was explained well and they followed up with me after to find out how i was getting on. One of the biggest pros is how i have met other people in the days after the procedure that had also had transplants and where very impressed with the look and recovery. Would recommend the harley street hair clinic to anyone thinking of going down rhe transplant route.
From the moment I arrived at the clinic for my first consultation, right up to surgery, the care and attention I received was 5 star. I was made as comfortable as possible at all times and was kept informed at every stage of the process.I would 100% recommend this clinic.
If you are considering a hair transplant, and are looking at reviews, remember the following: the final result takes a year so look for reviews that post about the result and not how nice they are to you on the day of treatment. I made this mistake with HSHC.I had a consultation with these guys and they told me I needed 1800 grafts. When you walk in you see a lot of Wayne Rooney bits to give you confidence as he had his first transplant there (but not his second I note) and also a lot of signed cards are strategically placed saying how amazing they are. Sadly, this was not my experience. From the outset the sales guy told me that at my age 53 my hair had stopped falling out so there were areas (top centre) that didn’t need treating. I told them this wasn’t the case but they weren’t really listening. I figured they were experts so I left it and booked the op date. They also demanded I go see a third party GP to be privately tested for my response to adrenaline, even though I have never had an issue with it. This added an additional £250 to the bill. They did the transplant over two days. Chap called Dr. Vida. First day was the right side and second left. After the first day my head was really bruised and swollen. This may have affected the result. At the time all seemed fine. I was told that the grafts were super successful and I stuck by all the post treatment requests, but after the full 12 months the result was poor. Right side ok and reasonable density but left side low density and the centre area that wasn’t treated thinned a lot. A few years later a lot of the grafts have fallen out and I have almost no density in the centre area and completely mismatched density on right and left side. After the treatment I never heard from them again, not even a follow up phone call, email or WhatsApp. Not sure why it went so wrong, but they were pretty brutal and rushed day two like mad. As I look back it seems they were only interested in the money and nothing else so I would be very careful if you are thinking about going here.
I would like to thank the team at Harley Street Hair Clinic. I had a great experience from start to finish. Will was superb—he explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and kept in touch throughout the whole process.Roxy carried out the procedure and did an excellent job. She was extremely professional, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Everything felt very organised and in safe hands. I’m really pleased with how it all went and would definitely recommend the clinic to anyone considering this type of treatmentThank you all, once again. Dan
I've known Will for about 5 years now, who has always communicated instantly and politely, provided me with honest and useful advice and has constantly supported me throughout my experience at HSHC in a truly friendly manner. I have also been fortunate enough to meet and work with Roxy, Dr Zayn and Dr Kovacheva, and, well, I cannot recommend them and their work enough. Whether you are looking for general advice and feedback on your hair, some scalp micropigmentation and/or a FUE procedure, you are totally covered by their expertise and knowledge: totally natural looking hairlines, no scarring, incredible hair density post-op, and total graft harvesting maximisation (i.e. getting the most hairs out of a single hair graft). I could go on and on for paragraphs but the only thing that needs to be said is this: if you are looking for options to treat your hair loss, get in touch with Will and visit the clinic. You will not regret it. And I will just add that HSHC also has excellent prices (especially for London/the UK) for any of the treatment options you may be interested in. I personally would not visit any other clinic and have recommended HSHC (and Will) to my mates and family dealing with hair loss!!
I am 27 and had started seeing receding hairline creating a 'windows' peak. I decided to explore my options and had a free consultation with the team at the clinic. They did not push any agenda other than the best for my hair. They recommended hair loss medication to stem the receding and we agreed on a 6 month follow up to check results (again free of charge). Everything looked ready and I had the procedure with a couple of weeks. The whole team are very friendly and make sure there is plenty of information provided and crucially ways to get in contact. It's very early days post procedure, but immediately I have been complemented. I greatly appreciate their help.
