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.

    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

    From start to finish my experience with Farjo has been excellent. Professional, yes, but a special type of professionalism, which included a genuine kindness and warmth. The whole team showed care, compassion and understanding, making me feel safe and in good hands. Everything was explained and each aftercare step happened exactly as foretold. I can’t wait to see the growing results!! Trish Connor

    From my first phone call the customer care and friendliness was exceptional. Everything was explained in detail particularly by Doctor Williams who was forthright to the point with no sales pitch! The staff assisting him with the procedure were also efficient thorough and professional. I made the right choice

    I have to say....please ignore any negative feedback about this clinic. They are, by far the best in the business, in my opinion. I did my research thoroughly 8 years ago when I went in for my first transplant. Sure, they are not the cheapest clinic, but in my opinion you get what you pay for, and this, for me, has been evident. Dr Farjo and his team have literally changed my life. I have been back for two further procedures and all have been successful. Sometimes I think my emails may go into their spam, which is not their fault, so anyone having communication issues I would urge you to call them if you don't get a response. The staff are all so lovely too which puts you at ease if you are nervous.

    I'm currently two days post-op from having an eyebrow hair transplant at the Farjo Clinic in Manchester. This is something I had wanted for a long time, but I wasn't sure it would be possible in my situation (I had a skin cancer excision from my forehead/eyebrow area, followed by reconstruction and a skin graft some years ago). I had previously seen a surgeon closer to home about a transplant, but they were quite dismissive and weren't willing to do any surgery on this type of skin/scar tissue. My eyebrow (or lack of) has continued to bother me over the years, and although I had microblading and used makeup to improve the appearance, it still lacked texture and looked flat/unnatural next to my other 'normal' eyebrow. Eventually, I decided it was worth getting a second opinion so I contacted a surgeon in London, who recommended that I see Dr Greg Williams at the Farjo Clinic because of his experience with burns and skin graft reconstruction. When i met with him in person he was very understanding of my situation and my wish to have a hair transplant . He was confident that a transplant was possible, talked me through my options, and then he left it with me to think about, without any pressure either way. So obviously I decided to go ahead, and I have had a lovely morning at the Farjo clinic in Manchester. Dr Williams performed the surgery himself, and the whole procedure was surprisingly relaxing and virtually pain-free. He has done a lovely job of matching the hair direction and pattern to my opposite natural eyebrow. After years of having a flat/2D eyebrow its a nice novelty to have a hairy eyebrow again - albeit a bit of scabby one at the moment. I have a few months of patience ahead of me to see the final result, but so far so good. Thank you to Dr Williams for taking this on as I know it wasnt the most straightforward case. And to all the lovely staff at Farjo who looked after me throughout the process (Cheryl, Emma, Sara, and Chloe). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Farjo Clinic if you're unsure about having a hair transplant of any kind, but especially if you have a more complex issue or are thinking about an eyebrow transplant.
