This is a follow up to my initial procedure that was done in June of 2022. My first FUE was 3,500…read moregrafts and it was a rousing success. I was very happy with the end result and it looked very natural. Most of my thinning was at the crown of my head and it helped there but after a few years it was clear that it was a little thinner than I wanted. Restore has a guarantee that offers 25% of your initial procedure if you dont see the density you expected (In this case about 875 of the 1,500 I had transplanted were "free"). FYI 3,500 grafts is the largest procedure they can do at one time so it was a two day event and I saw a fair amount of shock loss . I wore a baseball cap for about 3 months (thank goodness for Zoom) and my hair was pretty much back to normal within 5 months (thicker than ever). My second procedure was a breeze compared to the first. Dr Cloninger asked me what I wanted and we agreed to add a bit at the corners of my hairline in addition to filling in the front hairline and the crown with some added density. It was so much less invasive this time around and they didn't even shave my hair down as they did the first time. As I write this, it has been just over a month since the procedure was performed. I stopped wearing a baseball cap after about 3 weeks and you really cant see that I had anything done! I haven't experienced the shock loss I did the first time and the pain is so much less in my scalp. I know this could change over the next month or so .... I will follow up in a few months with an update. It was really pretty easy breezy this time around so my summary on the big question of SHOULD YOU DO IT is... First, you have to look at how old you are and where your hair is in its "thinning" journey. If you are 30, you will most likely experience more thinning unless you are completely bald. This means that although FUE will help, it wont stop the rest of your hair from falling out. This should be factored in to your expectations. I was in my 50s and my thinning had slowed considerably. You become so used to your appearance that you lose track of just how thin your hair was before you do it. I saw a pic just prior to the first procedure and compared it to one of me one year later and the difference is pretty amazing. Nobody has said anything...a few guys in the office have said "your hair looks great...what have you been doing"? It's natural looking and I am so glad that I chose to do it. Even if I didnt have the second procedure, I would have been 100% happy . I just wanted to have it PERFECT. I will follow up in a few months but if your only objection is "it's expensive", would you expect something that literally can change your whole outlook on life to be cheap? I know not everyone will see the same results but mine have been outstanding and I expect it to get even better. Kudos to the Restore team for delivering on their satisfaction guarantee because for the amount that I paid...it should be perfect. More to come....

I had one procedure that worked well. Then they solicited me for a second treatment. I made a…read more$7,000 deposit and they postponed the appointment date. Thereafter I moved out of state and unfortunately developed alopecia and have lost all my body hair. Instead of being a business with morals, they insist on charging me $3,500 because I can no longer have their procedure. They refer to the "contract" which they electronically applied my signature to. I offered to pay them $1,000 and refund me my balance, but that's not good enough. They are insisting on charging me the $3,500 for nothing. Now I will need to hire an attorney and file a civil suit to obtain a fair judgement. My advice is to never give this business a large deposit because they will try to keep the money without reason. Avoid this hassle with this business. Their business practices are unreasonable.

I was looking to get a hair transplant for a while and kept putting it off, maybe i wasnt ready for…read moreit or maybe i was turned off by the pushy sales people at the other clinics or both. I decided to give Dr. Rachel a chance and i met with him and karen at the gleniew location, from the begining i could tell something was different. I was not pressured into anything in fact karen explained that not everyone is a good canditate for a hair transplant and wanted to check my donor area to make sure what i wanted done was even possible. After it was determined 2500 grafts was possible they explained the procedure and the after effects of the procedure and also what can go wrong. I was suprised they didnt promise me fabio hair like the other places but kept things realistic. I left to think about it and karen gave me the time and space i needed, after a week i called back with more questions and decided to make the appointment. Karen worked with me in financing part of the surgery through care credit and i was ready to go. The actual procedure was exactly how dr. Rachel and karen said it would be. Not painful but uncomfortable , which i was able to handle ok. After a few days post opp i felt great. Just follow the directions karen gives you dont try to wing it and you will be fine. Ok now is the part that started to worry me i suffered a lot of shock loss from the procedure where i lost a ton of non transplanted hair. I showed up at the clinic super worried Karen checked out my hair along with the Dr. They determined alot of it will come back. Karen decided to help the situation by doing micro needling and prp to to to help with the shock loss. After several treatments my hair begain filling in and know im very happy how well it turned out. They went out of there way to help me get the look i wanted. They worked with me even a year and half after the transplant, when i had concerns they addressed them. Karen responds to my calls or texts within an hour and is ALWAYS available to help. When i was struggling with the shock loss a good 10 months after surgery they could of ignored me or make excuses, instead they took corrective actions leaving me happy with the results !!

She usually sees Marlene and if it's a special occasion and can't see her, Jennifer the manager helps her get an appointment with someone quickly. I appreciate the care that the salon takes in making sure people are comfortable. In my sister's case, they treat her with dignity and respect. Other salons in town don't always do this. When possible, I recommend making an appointment during the weekdays (mid-week) because it's easier to schedule. Also, parking is better. Great place to bring your mom or girlfriend as a gift.

Proceed with caution. I ordered a hair topper from Ersolene. Her business is not run professionally…read moreand she does not write anything down or give you a receipt. She said she wrote my phone number down wrong so she couldn't contact me to tell me the topper was in - but we had been texting, so I am not sure why she didn't look there for my number. I finally contacted her to find out what was going on and that's when she said she lost my number. She told me she's an expert, but unfortunately she sold me a product completely unsuitable for me - even though her website claims she will find the "perfect" hairpiece for her clients. She also told me she guarantees her work and I found out that was a lie. Once the topper came in, I went to the stylist that Ersolene personally recommended and the stylist said it was far too dense for me. I also noticed it was very wavy (not what we agreed upon) and completely the wrong texture for me. I asked Ersolene for a refund and she refused. She offered to thin it out, but I paid $650 for a custom topper designed for me, not an after-market, thinned out piece. I even offered to take less than 100% refund and she could keep the topper and she wouldn't even discuss it. Her business practices are deceptive and she is not at all customer-service-oriented. Once I complained and threatened a lawsuit she took her website down - which shows you just how shady this woman is. It's ok though, I have screenshots of all her dishonest claims that I can use in small claims court. I wish we could have worked something out, but she was unreasonable.

As you can imagine, this created a major inconvenience after all the planning that goes into preparing for surgery, arranging recovery, taking time off, booking flights, and securing accommodations. Based on the explanation we were given for the cancellation, we ultimately felt relieved that Dr. Panine would not be performing the procedure. The experience left us questioning whether this was the right practice for such an important surgery and raised concerns for us about the level of professionalism and communication.

However, almost three years later, I am deeply disappointed with the outcome of my procedure. Although my donor area healed well because I followed all post-op instructions carefully, the results of my surgery were botched. I communicated my concerns to Stuart, the doctor's assistant, sending him pictures and videos. Despite his reassurances that everything was progressing as it should, by the one-year mark, my hair looked worse than before the surgery, and it still does. I feel hopeless and ashamed, unsure if this can even be fixed. I spent $10,000 and feel like it was completely wasted. My concerns have shifted beyond the lack of density. Now, I am alarmed by the non-existent hairline With 2,000 grafts, I should have a full hairline, but the outcome is far from that.
