I would say that a good place to start would be to decide what sort of procedure you would like to have: FUE or FUT. You can find a lot of information on this forum about the pros and cons of each but feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Once you decide on a technique, you can move on to narrowing down a list of doctors who practice your technique of choice. Read everything you can find on your top choices and look at their patients result photos and videos. As you further narrow down your selection, schedule consultations with a few surgeons. Many clinics offer free consultations and a lot even offer them online so that you do not need to travel. The doctors will evaluate your current level of hair loss, personal hair characteristics and have you discuss your expectations. He or she will make a recommendation for treatment and, if they consider you a suitable candidate for hair transplant surgery, they will recommend a certain number of grafts and give you an idea on pricing. Costs can vary a great deal but don't let price be an overreaching deciding factor because the results of a HT are something you will live with for the rest of your life.
Before you get too in depth with your research, however, you may want to get an idea from experienced forum members regarding whether you are a good candidate for hair transplant surgery. Ultimately, you will need to speak with a doctor to know for sure but if you post pictures, your age, and information about your hair loss to date, as well as family hair loss history, other members will be able to give you an idea of whether or not you are a suitable candidate.
