Our Verdict

Bosley offers brand recognition and a clinic in nearly every major US metro, but a franchise model where technicians perform much of the work. Independent practices like Advanced Hair Restoration are typically surgeon-led with the same doctor at consult and surgery. Vet the individual operating surgeon — credentials and before/after galleries matter more than the brand on the door.
