My experience with Dr. Hopping and his staff was an exceptional one!…read more I went to Dr. Hopping to get both of my ear lobes stitched as well as sat on a consultation with my mom as she decided whether or not she wanted to move forward with a neck lift. As I sat on the consultation he made sure he answered every one of my mothers questions no matter how much time was passing. I also noticed that he was very comforting to let her know exactly what she should expect after the surgery. This was very important to my mother as she suffers from an anxiety disorder. Although my mom did not decide to follow through with the surgery, she shared with me that she would have definitely chose Dr. Hopping to do the procedure. As far as my own procedure with stitching both of my ear lobes from wearing heavy earrings my entire life, I am very glad I chose Dr. Hopping. I could have gone to any doctor and paid less but knowing that I could trust a doctor as skilled as Dr. Hopping was very comforting to me. My pre op and post op appointments were very thorough even though it such a minor procedure. Him and his staff still treated me as if I was having major surgery. My results were great with no complications and I was impressed with the minimal scarring I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a comforting, skilled, professional experience!!

Overall I can say without any doubt that my hair and scalp are better after having done the laser treatment for several months, and having used some of their products, than if I had not done the treatment. My scalp is revitalized and there is regrowth. I actually did not use the minoxidil and only used one of the oral supplements they suggested because of reactions and secondary effects. The topical products (shampoo, etc.) they give us to use as part of the treatment are of very good quality, and nice and easy to use (and I continue using them even after the laser treatment is over). There is a deeper root cause to my dermatitis and hair thinning though, and I have not been able to find out what it is yet. I continue trying different things in my lifestyle and diet and I'm not giving up. But Trichological Associates still made a huge beneficial difference and I may go back for another treatment maybe in one year or so if I still need to.

My recent visit was even more helpful. He gave me guidance on my mild acne outbreaks and the proper way to wash my face. Within a week I already see a difference. Every woman should go to Trichology Associates to at least ensure they have a healthy scalp and know how to maintain a healthy scalp.

Switched to a new place, only been once, but night and day difference so far, office is in Foggy Bottom, but at almost half price and better work, I'll drive the extra 10 minutes.

I came to Chris while living in Arlington for a pair of clip in extensions, that I wanted to wear…read morefor special events like weddings. I was very new to the extension space so wasn't very educated on length or color, etc. Chris applied his expertise and I left with a set of clip in extensions (skeptical lol).

Devin and Christopher are absolute masters in this business. They expertly treat all kinds of hair…read moreloss/ alopecia with customized state of the art solutions including traditional hair extensions. They have relationships with some amazing hair extension vendors domestic and internationally I believe (there's one that supplies Russian hair whose quality literally puts both Great Lengths and HairDreams hair to shame - no exaggeration- I've worn both before discovering Devin and Chris). As Subject Matter Experts, they use a customizable solution (technique/type of hair) for each individual client as opposed to a typical cookie cutter approach like GL/HD "Platinum Partner Salons" that are limited by their own hair/application methods including bonding equipment. As to me, as the result of some serious matting both pre and post COVID-19 quarantine and a haircut gone seriously bad, I turned to GL/HD *cold fusion* to fill in multiple patches of super short / chopped off hair as it grows back in and tape ins are enabling me to safely do that (zero hair damage as long as you keep up with your 6-8 week move up appts); I just wish I'd found them sooner!! They are both beyond professional, courteous, kind, compassionate and work super efficiently. It's also worthy to mention that although their speciality/true passion is hair restoration (include extension application), they're also top notch stylists AND colorists to boot. I'm somewhat of a hair color snob since my hair tends to turn brassy as it lifts if the formula/process is not right and have definitely had more than my share of nightmares over the years!. That said, Devin's base bump on my 4" COVID roots using highlights and toner alone rivaled the same result Rita Hazan (NYC) had been producing the past 20 years using a double process and expertly matched the extensions. Last but not least, their prices are more than competitive especially compared to the big "name brand" companies who charge by the bundle plus labor. I promise you'll be in excellent hands and the results will be worth every penny!!

Having Dr. Lindsay complete my hair restoration in 2024 was the best investment I have ever made on…read moremyself. You cannot place a dollar amount on having your self confidence restored. After 40 years of hating how I looked after 2 previous transplants completed in my 20's. I finally decided to find a reputable Dr. to help fix my badly thinning hair. I didn't want a Dr. from a big box clinic but one that had their own practice and was industry recognized and accomplished. After completing my due diligence, I decided on Dr. Lindsey. I reached out to his office and due to distance we met via a zoom consultation. He reviewed my current hair loss and assured me he could make a dramatic difference in my appearance. Based on our conversation and the overall feeling that he was the right surgeon for my transplant, I booked a date for surgery. Due to the 4 hour drive, I was unable to met with Dr Lindsey the day before my surgery. No matter, my wife and I arrived at 7 am the day of the surgery. We were promptly greeted by Dr Lindsey and his assistant Wendy. Pictures were taken and a surgical plan for how my grafts were to be used was agreed upon and the procedure started shortly after. I'm not going to lie, I was very nervous. Not because of anything Dr Lindsey did. But because of the pain I remembered from my 2 previous transplants. However, my nervousness subsided as I was given medication that quickly relaxed me. My donor area was numbed with very little pain (3 out of 10) The numbing was over quickly and I felt no pain the rest of the procedure. I transitioned to another room where my donor stripe was harvested. From there I went to another room to start the actual transplant procedure. During this procedure, Dr. Lindsey made the necessary pockets to receive the hair follicles. During this process, I felt no pain and actually fell asleep several times. Once all the hair grafts had been added, I was cleaned up and a bandage was applied around my head to protect the donor incision. I was given clear instructions on what to do that night and headed back to the hotel. I did experience a good amount of pain in the donor area but it was manageable with the prescribed pain medication. I returned the next day for a follow up. Wendy did a great job of cleaning my head. Both Wendy and Dr Lindsey clearly explained what I needed to do over the next several weeks to ensure my transplant healed properly. After 4 months my new hair started to fill in and I could not believe how incredible it looked. I actually had a hair line again. My oldest son couldn't believe the transformation either. He knew how much my hair effected my confidence. He has been bragging to all of his friends how good his dad's hair looks. I cannot express how happy I am with the results. So much so that I returned for a second surgery on 2/27/26 and had him fill in my crown area. Just like the first procedure everything went flawlessly and I can't wait to see my new hair in 3/4 months. My only regret is not doing this 20 years earlier. The one thing I have learned during this process is to make sure you get the right doctor to do your transplant. I'm so glad that I took the time to do my research. If you are contemplating this procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Lindsey. Don't be fooled by some of the ads you see for big box clinics and overseas specials. In this case, especially with your hair, you get what you pay for. Dr Lindsey and Wendy, words cannot express my gratitude to you both for giving me back my confidence, not having to go out and hide behind a hat or be afraid of how I'm gonna be perceived in public. THANK YOU!!!

Review for The Art of SMP by Chris Herrera, Kensington, MD…read more From a woman with alopecia I've had alopecia for a few years now, and after trying different wigs, fibers, concealers, even seeing dermatologists, nothing gave me the kind of confidence boost I was hoping for. I finally decided to try scalp micropigmentation (SMP) with Chris Herrera at The Art of SMP in Kensington, MD -- and I'm so glad I did! Kindness, Respect & Comfort From the first consultation, Chris and his team made me feel seen & heard. They listened to my concerns (uneven patches, sensitive scalp, what my "look" goals were) without rushing me. The environment is professional but warm. Staff were gentle and respectful. Because of the patchiness I had, I was anxious but Chris guided me through what realistic expectations are, and didn't overpromise. They reassured me about pain, healing, colour matching, which helped a lot. They know how emotionally heavy hair loss is, especially for women, and they treated it not just like a cosmetic fix but something that matters deeply. The price point is perfect, Given the durability of the work (touch‑ups needed but not often), I feel like it was worth every dollar!!! This is not a paid review or discount review, I'm a real female with alopecia living in Virginia. I wish I knew of this years ago.

I did not want to go back to NY for another procedure because of the risk of catching Covid, so I was very relieved to find Chris near me. When I went to meet Chris's I was impressed with how clean and professional looking his office was. Chris did an analysis of my head and recommended a treatment plan. The treatment plan was exactly what I was looking for. Chris did a rework of my head and restored it to its former glory. I have met many artist before and honestly believe that Chris is the most talented and skilled artist I have ever met. If you live in the DC area and are looking for an artist who has the integrity to keep his appointments, is a perfectionist, and will make your head look as natural and undetectable as possible, then Chris is the only solution. Thank you Chris for the amazing job you did. You exceeded my expectations!
