Miami, USA • Sapphire FUE • 4500 Grafts • 10mo post-op
Disappointing experience
I had high hopes for Foundation for Hair Restoration but was left disappointed. The Sapphire FUE procedure (4500 grafts) itself was okay, but the consultation felt rushed and I don't think the hairline design was optimal. At 10 months post-op, results are below what was promised. Growth has been patchy in some areas. The clinic has been somewhat responsive to my concerns but I feel like I need a revision. Would not recommend without doing extensive research first.
Pros
- + Doctor-led procedure
- + Great density
- + Follow-up included
- + No visible scarring
Cons
- − Parking was difficult
Tijuana, Mexico • FUT • 2800 Grafts • 18mo post-op
Average experience overall
I'll be honest — TJ Hair Clinic was neither terrible nor amazing. The procedure itself (2800 grafts, FUT) was professional. But I felt a bit rushed during consultation and the recovery instructions could have been clearer. 18 months in, growth is coming along but slowly. Some areas seem thinner than expected. I'm still hopeful the final result will be good since I know full results take 12-18 months. Would rate higher if communication was better.
Pros
- + Airport transfer included
- + Doctor-led procedure
Cons
- − Parking was difficult

I'll be honest — Kierach Medical Clinic was neither terrible nor amazing. Dr. Dr. Artur Kierach personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. The procedure itself (3500 grafts, Sapphire FUE) was professional. But I felt a bit rushed during consultation and the recovery instructions could have been clearer. 6 months in, growth is coming along but slowly. Some areas seem thinner than expected. Total cost was $2,400.I'm still hopeful the final result will be good since I know full results take 12-18 months. Would rate higher if communication was better.
Pros
- + Painless procedure
- + Excellent communication
- + Modern equipment
Cons
- − Swelling lasted a week
- − Consultation felt rushed
