Very good company - highly recommended. I went to Istanbul for an operation with GetHair last summer, and wanted to post a review a year later to give an overall feeling about the whole experience and results. Firstly, they are very professional and care about their customers. When I met Kaan in London for a consultation, I was immediately impressed by his calm, professional and informative nature and didn't feel as if I was being 'sold' to at all. Whilst GetHair's prices were far lower than other quotes I had been given and money was not in itself the biggest factor in my decision, I still felt regardless of price that their pitch was the best, so this prompted me to go with them. When I arrived in Istanbul, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. I was greeted by Anand, my patient coordinator and a driver, and they were very friendly and helpful. Anand spoke perfect English so this made me feel comfortable. I was taken to the hotel, which was very impressive – posh and very friendly staff who were used to seeing patients stay on a weekly basis. On the morning of my operation, I was picked up by Anand and the driver and taken to the hospital. Very clean and modern facilities, and there was a very pretty interpreter there to help me feel comfortable around the staff. After consulting with the doctor and discussing my hairline, I was taken through to operate. The operation lasted around 8 hours in total and we stopped for lunch. The op is not painful as such, but the several injections to numb the pain sting a little. The doctor is only present to carry out the most delicate parts of the op - the design of your hairline in the beginning, and the opening of the channels (the rest is carried out by a specialist medical team), however they carry out 2 operations a day so they proved highly skilled and experienced at what they do. For a few days after the op, the donor area is painful, but it does heal fairly quickly and the 'scarring' disappears within 3-4 months. Within 2 weeks all the crusting from the transplanted area is gone, and the ‘dead hair’ begins to fall out. A year later, the new hair has mostly grown through, and I am pleased to report I am overall impressed with the results (a big improvement). GetHair are just as consultative and professional after the operation as before. As I had lost most of my hair before the op, there is more work to do, so I have already booked my 2nd transplant with GetHair for this summer! Overall a positive experience and excellent value for money – highly recommended, and there really is no advantage to paying 4 or 5x as much to get it done in the UK.
