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.

Just a heads up this is the same review I left on google, but I had such a good experience I wanted…read moreto let more people know. I knew from the first five minutes of my Zoom consultation with Dr. Khatib that he was "the guy." I could tell immediately how much he cared about his work. He spoke about the procedure and his career with a level of passion you rarely find. It's always a pleasure to listen to someone talk about something they truly love doing. I was an out-of-town patient, and the staff at CHI made sure I was well prepared for the entire procedure and my stay in Illinois. At the consultation, he walked me through every step, and together we decided on placement, style, and density. I even had an unusual request that he'd never heard before -- not only was he open-minded about it, he was genuinely excited. Dr. Khatib was professional, competent, and just super cool overall. If he wasn't my doctor, I'd want to be his friend. The procedure itself was a breeze. They made sure I was comfortable and pain-free the whole time. I'm only about 60 hours out from surgery, and so far zero discomfort. The rest of the staff were all lovely, with that great sense of humor you can only find in Chicago girls. Getting a hair transplant initially felt embarassing and kind of weird. I'd never had cosmetic surgery before, and in my head there was a bit of a stigma around it. Not once did I feel uncomfortable during my entire time at CHI. I could tell immediately after the surgery that the plan Dr. Khatib laid out was perfect. I'd recommend him to anyone considering the procedure, and I'd urge middle-aged men like myself to go natural and conservative with the hairline you choose. Another thing that's special about Chicago Hair Institute is that Dr. Khatib harvests and places each individual follicle himself. After doing some research, I learned this is rare and time-consuming, and not the standard at many other clinics that use multiple technicians to speed up the process. The doctors at CHI are artists who take pride in their work. Much respect to Dr. Konior for building a clinic that caters so well to its clients, and for hiring incredible physicians like Dr. Khatib. Also, it was way cheaper than I expected going in. Your experience may vary depending on your hair and genetics, but I was pleasantly surprised. You get what you pay for, and I'm glad I spent a bit more to stay in the U.S., communicate in my native language with the person doing surgery on my head, and skip an international flight home with bandages still on. I really can't say enough good things about the whole experience, and I will gladly tell anyone who will listen that I got a hair transplant and I got it at the Chicago Hair Institute. Might even go back just to say hi to the crew and fill a small patchy spot in my beard. I'm starting to understand why people can get "addicted" to cosmetic surgery, I feel great. Also, I'll gladly leave before and after photos if anyone is interested. In a couple of months when my hair grows back.

From the first consultation, I just had a really good feeling about Dr. Khatib. His energy alone…read moreput me at ease. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and was honest and straightforward throughout the entire process. I never felt like I was being sold something or pressured into a decision. One thing that really stood out was how much time he spent designing my hairline. I originally wanted to lower it more, but he explained why that wasn't the best approach and focused on creating something that would look natural/ best for my face, and age well. Looking back, I'm so glad I trusted him. He was meticulous and thoughtful, and it was obvious he genuinely cared about getting it right. The procedure itself went flawlessly. Everything was clean, organized, and professional. Dr. Khatib personally placed the grafts, and the level of care and precision he put into his work was honestly impressive. So far, my healing has been smooth, my donor area looks great, and I'm falling more in love with my hairline every day. It's still early, but I couldn't be happier with how things are progressing. More than anything, I'm just grateful I found him. Dr. Khatib is not only incredibly talented at what he does, but he's also kind, genuine, and the type of doctor who makes you feel completely comfortable putting your trust in him. The entire staff was wonderful as well. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I have been a client for a very long time, But I will say at least 19 years…read more I started loosing my hair back in my early 20s. Been to many hair replacement firms and not very happy with them. I found Hair Club and since the first day I finally found my home. Hair Club always pushes the envelope to help It's clients look their best and feeling great all the time. I remember the first time I walked in for my visit and fitting, Boy was I scared. I thought everyone would look at me like, hay look at that guy with that rug on his head. But When it was done and I looked in the mirror, All I can say is WOW! I felt like I walked back in time at least 15 years. When I went to Family gathering everyone was in awe. That changed me forever. Now I can visit my clients and speak in large groups with so much confidence. I cant even put into words my feeling. Joe And Chris are the best and Everyone at Hair Club is like a huge extended part of my family. They should be proud of the number of lives they impact and change. They impact mine all the time. I would not change a thing and they have a client and a friend forever. And this is no BS. I really mean it. Hair Club is the Best. I also turned my Father onto Hair club who has been going as long as me, He is now turning 80 in January and looks like he is in his 60s. That is so AWESOME and makes me feel good he is happy too. Well so mush time has passed and I will end with this. Hair Club has changed my life forever and it will change yours also. So a big shout out to the whole group at the Oakbrook Store. Keep doing what your doing. Love ya
