I often discuss other people’s hair loss, but recently, I realized it might be interesting to share my own experience. This epiphany came when a patient asked how I, an ‘expert’ in the field, managed to lose my own hair. My hair loss, like that of many men, is genetic and inherited from both sides of my family. Out of ten direct male relatives I can think of, only two didn’t end up almost completely bald. The question wasn’t just about why I lost my hair, but rather, why I hadn’t taken more action against my baldness. The truth is, I did take action, but Propecia wasn’t available during my hair loss phase, and Minoxidil didn’t have the desired effect.

During my training in hair surgery, I underwent a hair transplant. However, the techniques and quality of hair transplants back then were far less advanced than today’s standards. Efficient use of available donor hair was not comparable to the current extremely high standards. The combination of advanced hair loss at a young age and the inefficient use of my limited donor hair left me with few options, especially as my donor area also thinned out over time. I’ve come to terms with this and reached a reasonably happy state. This experience allows me to empathize deeply with my patients, particularly the young men with a strong family history of hair loss and high expectations.

    I had a great experience at Farjo Hair Institute in Manchester. The entire process was incredibly smooth from start to finish, and the whole team made me feel comfortable throughout. Everyone was friendly, attentive and extremely professional. Dr. Farjo personally led my procedure, working alongside Dr. Zayn Sattar, and I felt I was in very capable hands throughout. Everything was explained clearly, and the procedure itself went much more smoothly than I had expected. My recovery has also been a breeze so far. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my experience and would highly recommend Farjo Hair Institute and the entire team.

    I have just had a Hair Transplant in Manchester on Tuesday, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The Surgeon Mr Williams was Fantastic as were the team working with him, I was looked after for the whole of the day. I was expecting a bit of pain especially when the needles were inserted into my head, but I personally experienced minimal discomfort. I am now waiting to see the progress over the next 10 to 12 months, and once again I would like to thank each and every one of the team for making me feel so comfortable and for looking after me for the day whilst I was there.

    Dr Zayn and his team couldn’t be more professional or accommodating, really put me at ease and explained everything as the day went by. Excellent service, looking forward to the results now.

    Very disappointed with this clinic and the results that I ended up with… I initially went in November 2024 for my procedure after the usual consultations leading Upto it, up to this point they were fine to deal with, it was only a small procedure 1500 circa hairs to fill in some gaps around my temple area, I’d say it’s probably one of the most straight forward / easiest procedures they would carry on, it was a big area put it that way… anyway skip to the procedure day and I was advised to come in early for 8am, I won’t bore you with to many details but the procedure felt rushed, was meant to stop for some lunch for 30 mins but they were back in the room where I was left to have my lunch within 10-12 mins so I felt a little uncomfortable with this, anyway we carried on and I was surprised at how little Dr Farjo was involved, 98% of the procedure is completed by nurses so if you’re going to this clinic based on a certain reputation… don’t bother… maybe if you’re a celeb you may get the actual ‘DR’ service but for me it was completed by I believe 3 nurses crowded around my head. They told me at the end of the day that there would be regular check ups and consultations to generally check the progress which gave me confidence, I paid just under £7000 for this basis Fue transplant and now we are 16 months later I’ve never heard from them once… I’ve sent a couple of emails but no reply…. I do recall when I first registered my interest the contact from the clinic was relentless in basically securing my deposit, Cheryl I believe who is employed on the sales side will sell you a good solid caring clinic but as I’ve found and a few others from reviews I’ve now read it just isn’t genuine, they don’t actually care about long term progress or results, they are only interested in your money, absolutely gutted as i had a choice of a few clinics but I went with Farjo as they were local and now I’m massively regretting that decision. Overall my results are really poor, I’d say I’m 5/10% better than when I first went in… it’s not very noticeable at all and for what I paid they should have got this right as it was a small area around my temples, nowhere else, I believe they used to few donor hairs, the job was rushed and it felt they were more interested at finishing at 6pm rather than providing me with what I had paid for, don’t forget they also started my procedure 2 hours late at 10pm when I was told it would start at circa 8am, no explanation needed as given for this. I went to this clinic based on the reviews I had read about Dr Farjo but I ended up with an extremely poor experience and I'm now in the process of researching alternative clinics to try and put it right which feels a massive let down when I already paid a substantial amount to them. It feels like if you’re a profile or a celeb you may get the service from Dr Farjo and potentially get good results but please don’t make the mistake that I did and go to this clinic based on reviews for Dr Farjo as it’s highly unlikely he will be a part of your hair transplant on the day, he just does a quick check at the end, the main process will be left to the nurses , I just wish I knew this before I parted with £7000. I’m sure they will reply as they have to other negative reviews and suggest they don’t recognize me or they have no record of me but please believe me this is a true factual story and it’s taken me a long time to come around to leave this review as initially I was going to leave it but I’ve come to the conclusion that others need to be warned that this clinic is not all that it’s cracked up to be unless maybe you’re a ‘profile’ if you’re just a general layman like me then all they see is your money and I believe you will get a poor procedure overall with no serious input from Dr Farjo. Please check reviews online and there is also a video or two on YouTube called ‘my Farjo hair transplant nighmare Please check trust pilot for my full review as I couldn’t fit it all on here.. 2 years on and all the transplanted hairs are gone, 6000-7000 for some temporary hair
