    Default Hair Club for Men

    Has anyone used the Hair Club for a surgical transplant procedure? Do they do the surgery at their offices? Cost?

    In the last few years they have opened up some surgical centers. Like any other chain it really depends on which location and/or doctor you end up getting. Some say that because they spend so much money on marketing and advertising that the most important thing is how many cases they perform, not how good each case comes out.

    I'd be a little skeptical of the Hair Club for Men, especially for surgery. They are a large chain, like Bosley. In year 2000, I had a 1st HT with Bosley, and it was awful. I "chalk" it up to lack of education and experience on my part, as well as Bosley's willingness to take advantage of my vulnerability. If I told you the details of my experience, you'd be convinced that they were after my money, and certainly less interested in giving me a good result. Large clinics provide relatively higher probabilities of mediocre, or even poor, results. All my opinion, of course.

    Since then, I have had 2 HTs with IAHRS doctors (Doctor McAndrews and Doctor Alexander), and the results have been phenomenal.

    I'd say that if you are on the verge of hair transplant surgery, consider a doctor in the IAHRS. You'd have an excellent chance of an awesome result.
