Head Quarters Hair Transplants Review

What can I say ! I’m 4 weeks post op now what an amazing experience it has been so far. Day of surgery I was quite nervous but everyone in the clinic were so reassuring and nothing was too much trouble I would one million percent recommend this to anyone what an amazing clinic. Can see my hairline forming and can’t wait for the end results Thankyou so everyone involved in my transplant !

Great process from start to finish, staff were excellent every step of the way

I recently had a hair transplant at HQ Hair Transplant Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, the team was fantastic. No question was too much in the lead up to my surgery, and they immediately put me at ease on the day itself. The surgeons and technicians are true experts, and every team member goes above and beyond to make the process as comfortable as possible. They provided a great lunch, kept me pain-free, and the aftercare has been exceptional. I highly recommend HQ Hair Transplant Clinic to anyone considering a transplant. Even just attending the free consultation can be incredibly informative. Thanks HQ!

Im so happy i chose HQ to grt my hairline and frontal area done. They are so professional and make it easy to get the procedure done.

I first found HQ Hair Transplants on instagram, and after looking at their page I was very impressed and booked an initial consultation with Richard. The online call was really helpful as I was given information regarding medication, procedure recommended and costings. Richard is a gem and was so informative.

After this inital call, I booked a in person meeting to discuss options with my surgeon, Dr Matt Egan. This meeting we discussed grafts needed, medication i must be on before and after surgery and the process of the transplant. An initial hairline was drawn by Dr Frances. I was impressed enough by the meeting that I paid the small deposit and the office manager, Lindsey helped me setup the interest free payments.

I was booked in actually for November but they had a cancellation beforehand so I opted for this to get my surgery done earlier.

On the day i was quite nervous, as expected from any surgery. Once I had entered the reception though, I was greeted by the wonderful Val, who was really friendly and put my nerves at ease. I spent about an hour with Val going through forms and getting into the gown and ready for the surgery.

After this, Dr Egan and Dr Frances walked in started to draw the hairline and i was happy with the first one they had drawn. After this I got the buzz cut for the surgey, it was odd seeing my head shaved for the first time.

One good point to note is that you get your own room next to the operating room and it’s got a toilet and this is the room you will go to for breaks. I was really impressed with the setup.

Once this was all done, I was brought into the procedure room. There’s a massive tv with Netflix and YouTube etc and the first few hours of the day was spent doing the incisions at the hairline. One very important note is that the surgeon alone does the incision and extractions, which means they are done to a very high standard. The injections were a bit uncomfortable but expected.

After a short food break provided by thr clinic, I was back on the bed this time for extractions. If I’m honest the injections were quite painful but I have a very low pain tolerance and not everyone will experience this. It only lasts 1 or 2 minutes and your head is completely numb after that so don’t think about it too much if you’re thinking of getting a transplant.

The extractions took about 2 and half hours as the surgeon is careful not to transect the grafts.

After a lunch break I was back in for the implantation of the grafts. This was the longest part of the day. The very skilled technicians sorted through all 3000 of my grafts and by hand impacts every one. They’re an amazing team and made me feel very comfortable throughout. I’m confident that I’ll get the results I invision due to the surgeons and the fantastic technicians that went above and beyond. At one point Dr Fran even brought me a blanket because I was feeling cold, which is amazing.

After the surgery, Dr Frances talked me through aftercare and gave me the HQ goodie bag with everything you need.

The first night was a bit uncomfortable as I kept waking up but didn’t feel any pain, just a sore head, and remember I said I had a low pain tolerance. The next 6 days were fine from a pain perspective, I didn’t take any painkillers, if fact I returned to WFH the day after the procedure and only took 1 day off on the day. I would say you need about 10 days off or WFH staying inside for downtime after the procedure. I returned to the office after day 10.

The day after I got a head wash and bandage removal which was nice. The scars look so minimal on the donor area. You have to keep the head tape on the forehead for a few days to prevent swelling. I only got slight swelling around the ears but nothing much.

After 1 week I got my scabs removed which was much needed as it started to get very itchy the days before. Once the scabs are removed it just looks like you had a buzz cut and never had any recession in the first place.

Im only 5 weeks in now but I’m almost finished with the shedding phase and looking forward to growth.

The big question you might have is why not go to a place in turkey for instance. Well after doing research I’m glad I didn’t. Most clinics in turkey do over 10 patients a day with different teams, you are unlikely to get a consistent result, so these place are called hair Mills.

At HQ, you are the only patient. That’s the surgeon, along with over 6 technicians just working on you.

At some hair Mills, the technicians only do the procedure, not to say technicians can’t do this but this must be done a bit surgeon. The technicians at HQ are very skilled and do the implantation.

I’m very happy with the experience I got at HQ and look forward to seeing the results. Highly recommend this clinic.

As a hairdresser that has been helping and advising with clients for years on transplants i decided it was time for me .

The team at HQ were outstanding especially Dr Matt.

I now know the journey at first hand and i would and do recommend HQ as the go to place in the UK .

I am so happy with the results as i have such fine hair I didn’t think i could get the results i have , it looks so natural and i have a better hairline than i probably ever had

I had a fantastic experience at the clinic from start to finish. My initial consultation was with Xavier, the owner, and it was a reassuring conversation. He walked me through the entire process and shared his own experience of having had a transplant with the same surgeon, Dr. Matt. Knowing this gave me confidence in the procedure. If the captain trusts the ship, you know you’re in good hands.

When I met Dr. Matt, I appreciated his honesty and expertise. He discussed the FUE procedure in detail and also mentioned alternatives like finasteride and minoxidil, which made me feel like I had options and wasn’t being pressured into anything. I left with some great advice and no sense of a sales pitch, which I found refreshing.

On the day of the procedure, the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel comfortable. The surgery itself was practically pain-free, and having Netflix to watch made what is a lengthy operation fly by.

Afterward, I was provided with a comprehensive aftercare pack with everything I needed, from a travel pillow to help sleep upright to baby shampoo. It really felt like every detail was thought of.

I returned to the clinic a week later for my first wash, where most of the scabs were carefully removed. It was such a relief to have this done for me rather than worrying about doing it myself at home.

Now, I’m three months post-operation and have my check-in next week. I’m already starting to see early growth, which looks how it should at this stage. The whole process has been smooth, and I feel optimistic about the results. Having a hair transplant is something I’ve always thought of but only recently started seriously considering. The positive reviews here really pushed me into making the jump and I’m really glad I did.

I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant. The professionalism, care, and overall experience was fantastic.

Great customer service and pleasant atmosphere…. but the main reason I went was to get the hair and hairline back, it now looks the same as when I was 20

Really professional service from start to finish.

Made to feel really relaxed on the day of the procedure and the staff were amazing throughout.

The aftercare has also been superb. From the cleans to any advice that is required is always given very quickly.

HQ look after you extremely well, the planning and time to discuss, the after care and the ongoing attention makes you feel very safe and cared for, I really have appreciated their efforts.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Head Quarters enough. Linsey was available to answer any queries and also assisted with booking the hotel, which made the experience effortless as we were travelling from Ireland. The morning of the procedure I had a meeting with Dr. Matt where he designed my ideal hairline to look as natural as possible. The first few hours, the.dedicated team created incisions in the scalp. We paused l for a short break before completing the second step, which is the extraction of the hair grafts. The positioning can be testing but the team was attentive to my needs and would stop to allow me to get comfortable. We then stopped for a 45-minute lunch break where I was provided with a light lunch .The last step is the implantation. This was the most difficult part of the procedure, however Dr. Matt and team managed the pain expertly well. All in,I was in and out after 8 hours. The after care I received was first class – saline solution, medication and travel pillow – the most I had to think about was dinner. The team as a whole is absolutely fantastic. I am 10 weeks post transplant, and I can already see brilliant results. The key selling point for me personally is that this was a really important step for me to take, and I really felt the clinic cared about what they do, and that’s getting the best results possible – I was absolutely not a number . I could not fault them.
