Head Quarters Hair Transplants Recensioni 

I contacted HQHair for a video consultation where I then booked a face to face with Dr Ted the very next day. I explained to him I have always wanted to change my hairline and my hereditary receding hairline which he always caused low self esteem, especially when swimming or if it was a windy day.

I was booked in for surgery the following Friday (very quick turn around) because of a cancellation therefore I jumped at the opportunity.

I was given the option if I wanted to shave my head, which it’s not paramount but I asked if the results would potentially be better or not and weighed it up. In the end the female hair technician shaved my head for me in the clinic in the morning before the surgery.

The surgery itself is not scary at all, not painful. The worst part is the anaesthetic needles but it only lasts a few seconds and then you are completely pain free.

The process is quite long as of course, potentially thousands of hair is taken from a donor area and implanted elsewhere. There is a huge television where you can watch anything you like. I let the guys choose music videos they wanted to play.

2,100 grafts were taken from my donor area and implanted to the front of my hairline whereas I was originally told it would be around approximately between 1400-1600.

The only side effect I had was that I did vomit in the car on the way home. This is relatively common post surgical procedures anyway and was only one occasion.

The whole process was very professional and I cannot thank the team enough for their expertise and reassurance.

It’s currently coming up to 3 months since my surgery and the results are outstanding already. The hair is only going to get thicker and this is extremely exciting.

Don’t get me wrong - I know lots of people who have told me I could have gone to Turkey for half the price which is probably true. But what I do know is that you would NEVER get the experience I received from somewhere overseas. I was even given Dr Teds personal phone number following the surgery incase I had any issues during the night or forthcoming days. The aftercare is something HQ pride themselves in where I had to go back to the clinic on day 5 post surgery for them to wash my hair for the first time.
I’m due to go back in the next two weeks for my 3 month check up.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at HQHair for all their support. The girls are amazing at what they do.

HQHair has changed my life. Can’t put it better than that.

From the consultation session to now, six months after my surgery, I’ve been hugely impressed and grateful to the HQ team. Everyone has been hugely professional, knowledgeable, patient, and more than happy to help with any question I might have.

On the day of surgery, the team couldn’t have done more to help me feel at ease and make the day run as smooth as possible, helping me to quickly forget about any anxiety I was feeling and showing genuine care about how I was.

Having this procedure was the biggest thing I’ve ever done, and having the best team possible to do the work was absolutely critical, and I do not believe I could have picked a better than HQ.

I’d like to thank the team at HQ. Incredible results, life changing. Confidence has improved drastically.
On the day of the surgery food and drinks were supplied along with a nice and friendly atmosphere from all.
The Aftercare was very helpful along with all the recommendations. Yet again, thank you all!

I have deliberately delayed my review as I wanted to give an honest end to end account. After months of internet searching I was recommended HQ by a family friend. I did my research and booked a consultation. Xavier video called me to discuss, he was very professional and helpful. I then had a consultation with Dr Egan. I had a list of questions I wanted to ask. He assessed my hair loss and explained the types of treatment options. There was no hard sell, he just gave me the facts I needed to make an informed decision. I didn't feel at all pressured. My blood pressure was too high so I was told I would not be able to have the surgery until this went down. I was very disappointed, but also felt re assured that my health came first. I brought my BP down and sent my readings to Dr Egan. I then went back in February 2022. After all pre surgery checks were completed the big moment had come. The clinic staff are really lovely and I was quickly put at ease. I had my own room with my own toilet and sink adjoining the treatment room. Dr Egan was absolutely superb and the whole team worked tirelessly. It was a long day as my transplant was the biggest they do in one day, but I was very relaxed and watched netflix all day and fell asleep a few times too!.. Food and snacks were supplied throughout the day. The procedure itself was painless, just a tiny scratch for the local anasthetic. Before I left the clinic they said you're just starting you're journey. They were right. I followed the aftercare advice and they gave me a complete pack to go away with and my hair now after just shy of 5 months has nearly fully grown. It's not an instant result, but when you can see new healthy hair coming through its like magic and quite emotional. It's given me a new lease of life and I am starting to feel like me again. Thank you all very much at HQ Cardiff for you're professional and caring service (if I could give 6 stars I would!)

Thanks Again,
Craig Evans.

An excellent experience, superb results, and first class after care. All of the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and professional staff, who took great care of everything and did an excellent, thorough job.
Thank you!

Had an amazing experience there the staff are friendly helpful and very guiding , they go through everything professionally I was strongly recommend going to HQ.

Amazing.

Today I made the trip to Cardiff for my 6 month review. The whole team are welcoming and were all impressed with how good my hair is looking.

Xavier said that the results of my hair transplant have made his day. Its been 6 months and the results are Amazing.
My confidence has sky rocketed, I am much happier and feel more confident in myself.

I would highly recommend HQ. They are very professional and offer such great aftercare.

5 stars from me.

Decided to go for a consultation based on a friend's recommendation, rather sceptical, as I didn't believe the hair transplant procedure would be a overly professional operation, based on horror stories you read about.

However, from the moment I came in, very warm and welcoming staff, great consultations discussing my options and potential procedure.

Committed to a crown and hairline transplant and couldn't of been guided through it better.

Any question I had was answered, direct line to contact should any issue arise (none have) and knowing they are there to address any concerns is a major plus.

Would highly recommend to any man who is experiencing hair loss, even just for a consultation.

After a few years of watching my hair gradually thin out on top and with it diminishing self esteem, last Thursday I had a hair transplant at Head Quarters Hair Transplants.

I had tried other treatments previously to hide or disguise but to no avail and it was purely by chance, and definitely luck, that I saw their Instagram post in late November last year. Needless to say, I picked up the phone and took the plunge. Within a week I was enjoying a reassuring video consultation with Xavier Rush and another was arranged in person, a week later, with Dr Matt. Their knowledge, reassurance and professionalism instantly put me at ease; and I knew at that point that I’d made the right choice with no need to travel greater distances North, to London or even Europe.

On the day, Dr Matt took great care in explaining the entire process, what to expect at each stage and despite spending half the day looking at his feet; his bedside manner was always engaging and supportive. Despite some anxiety prior, which I felt was entirely natural, I always felt confident in Dr Matt throughout.

However, the procedure and aftercare is very much a team effort and the practice staff were universally exceptional. I was looked after from the minute I arrived at 8am to leaving some 10.5 hours later.

The team treated me to lunch, water and treats throughout the day to help keep my sugar levels up and took great care in ensuring my comfort. Even popping to M&S to grab me some dinner and avoid any unnecessary distractions on the way back to my hotel despite my poor film choice on Netflix.

Looking back, only 7 days post procedure, I am astonished with the results and cannot express my gratitude enough. Despite being a one-off procedure, I would have no hesitation in doing this all over again or recommending the team to anybody. I have no doubt that this is going to be a massive confidence booster and I hope this review goes someway to allaying any fears that others may have in reaching the same point.

In short…if you are considering a hair transplant, look no further. You cannot make a better choice!

If I could award six stars I would.

An absolutely amazing process from start to finish , from the zoom call I had make me feel very welcome and reassuring to booking a face-to-face appointment with the doctor show me how my hairline will look after the procedure .

From there having The day of the operation turned up on time everything went really well The staff the receptionist the doctor everybody work there were exceptionally professional and courteous throughout , even supplying lunch and asking what dietary requirements I need .

When the operation was done the surgeon coming through took me througr the whole process give me helpful hints and tips and a care bag to take home with everything you need to maintain it for a week .

Went back the next day then to take the bandage off I check everything was okay , been up for a follow-up appointment for a hair wash was amazing as well .

I couldn’t recommend this place anymore if I tried . It’s handy for me because I live in Cardiff I didn’t have to travel abroad I could come home the same day and rest in my bed .

The results I’ve personally had are amazing I truly couldn’t be happier .

Thank you so much for this you’ve made me one happy man .

Whilst other reviews suggest HQ is great, sadly my experience was not.

Started to look into getting my hair fixed mid last year and found HQ across socials. Everything looked good from their website and enquired about starting the process of fixing my hair.

Initial consultation with Xavier went well, and everything seems to be good until it was the day of my face to face consultation with Dr Ted. The appointment was booked for late afternoon and my journey to Cardiff was an hour away by train. 30 minutes before the appointment I received a phone call to say that the appointment had to be cancelled and rescheduled. I understand these things happen but 30 minutes before an appointment doesn’t give many people time to change plans and adapt, resulting in a wasted time off work and expense getting to Cardiff.

Rescheduled consultation was arranged and again made my way to Cardiff, found HQ and was a little disappointed in the appearance of the clinic. Staff apologised and said they were going through renovations - Although somethings just didn’t look quite as they should. Waited for my appointment but this time Dr Ted was 35 minutes late, no apology and carried on as if nothing happened. Whilst the discussion went well and things seemed doable, it just didn’t leave a hugely professional impression.

After a few months to think over the decisions and make a choice I got back in touch with HQ to see if I could just get some follow up questions answers and was advised to book a telephone consultation with Dr Ted. Everything got booked and waited for the appointment to come around.

As this was important I took another afternoon of work and waited for the call that was scheduled late afternoon. But after waiting past the set appointment time for 30 minutes I lost faith. No phone call was made and again a huge waste of time. I got in touch with HQ via email and was met with an abrupt reply to say that Dr Ted had been in touch but no one answered by the Clinic Manager, again no apologies or explanation, more so I was wrong. We agreed to reschedule. I agreed and booked another appointment.

Same situation as before, afternoon was taken off and again no phone call. This time I called HQ Hair and was then told Dr Ted was running late and should be with me in the next 15 minutes. 25 minutes went by and again nothing. I called back and asked them to cancel the appointment. Two minutes after I called them to cancel I received the phone call that was meant to happen. I explained the situation to Dr Ted and how it feels incredibly unprofessional that no one could even reach out to me to say plans have changed or just to give me the heads up. Whilst Dr Ted did apologise, he also gave the reasoning for the issues due to the growing business. I understand growing a business can be demanding but this isn’t a worry that should be passed on to the client/customer.

When I phoned to cancel the phone call appointment that day I asked the lady on the phone to pass a message on to Xavier and to ask him to call me back… more than a month later.. still no phone call.

Again whilst other people have had great experience, this was my experience with HQ Hair transplant resulting in many days wasted, effort constantly from my side and a loss of money only to receive a poor email from the Clinic Manager and a complete lack of trust in HQ. Something like this costs a lot of money and has the power to change a persons life.

What you see on HQ’s website doesn’t quite align with what you get in person also. Whilst others have had great experiences I sadly haven’t… It pays to look around.

I was booked in for a FUE procedure on the 1st of October.
Due to mental health reasons I asked whether I could talk to Dr Ted for advice as I believed I was not in a fit state to go through with the procedure which was the next day. Dr Ted phoned and asked me some questions, he advised me to cancel.
Bearing in mind this was the day before the procedure, and no chance to find a replacement this advice shows how Dr Ted and HQ care about their customers, my health was put before any financial losses as a result of the cancellation.
I cannot thank HQ more for their professionalism, and care during this very difficult time for me, and would highly recommend HQ to anyone.
Again, I apologise to HQ for the last minute cancellation.

I must admit when I first started all of this i was nervous…. But from the very first interaction to the aftercare I’m getting now I have to say I wish I did it earlier!!! The team at HQ are beyond, I honestly felt like I was around old friends than having surgery.

Dr Ted was the most professional but reassuring surgeon I’ve ever met and the care he gives is beyond anything I imagined. From understanding I was nervous, and that I loved pirates, laying on the bed ‘overthinking’ the injection process he played pirates of the carribean theme for me. I instantly felt at home which sounds crazy but it was so personal. I didn’t feel a thing- and I’m a bit of a wimp! Haha. His methods are incredible.

Then team are just wonderful and they really care. Always checking in and looking after you. Throughout the whole procedure and even now a month after. I still feel close to them and couldn’t thank them more!

If you are ever in doubt about doing the procedure- book an appointment to just talk to dr Ted! Life changing!!

I cannot thank Dr Ted and ALL the technicians enough for the great care and service I received this week during my transplant. Dr Ted is a hair transplant genius, his attention to detail is superb. The team of technicians are incredible and play a massive part in the procedure. Xavier thank you for making my boys day when they came to pick me up.. your a true gentleman!
Anyone looking for a hair transplant look no further than the team at HQ Cardiff! Thank you once again Team!

Xavier and the team are a breath of fresh air, I had a very honest consultation this week. Xavier has such integrity and desire to help men in my position it. Its commendable.

Thank you!!

I apologise now to anyone for such a long read but I don’t want to miss out on any details for anyone who is considering having FUE treatment with HQ.

Last year I started looking into treatment after seeing the term FUE becoming more popular. I spent hours reading up on what is involved, looking at companies in the UK who perform it and trying to work out what my options were.

I came across HQ's website a few times, but it wasn't until I found their Instagram account that I saw some of the results from patients they had treated.

I reached out to someone who had used HQ and asked him some questions. He was very open, honest and hearing of his experience gave me the confidence to reach out for a consultation, after all, there's no harm in having a consultation to find out more information.

My first consultation was just after Christmas with Xavier. He discussed what options were available and showed me some examples of work that had been carried out. He came across very energetic, friendly and relaxed about what my next step was, there was no pressure from him for me to follow it up.

I emailed Xavier a few days later and said that I would like to meet Dr Ted Miln for an in-person consultation. He was also friendly, asked me lots of questions about myself, my family history and explained the treatments available. He came across as someone who was passionate about his work and I felt comfortable as soon as I'd met him.

I waited for a write up about our consultation and after receiving this, decided to go ahead with FUE at HQ. This was the only company I'd have a consultation with, and I felt that comfortable with them that I didn't need to speak to any other clinics.

My treatment took place in May and as I write this, I am currently five weeks post op.

What can I say about the day? Before I left home, I started to feel nervous, but as soon as I arrived and met Sam, any nerves disappeared. Sam took me to my own room, explained how the day would go, took some photos and shaved my hair ready for surgery.

Dr Ted came in not long after to see how I was doing and to discuss what my hairline would look like. I was very open to his opinion on this but even then, he ensured that I had my say so that I would be happy with the outcome.

The procedure was split into 3 stages. Each stage was completely pain free and even though I had been anxious about staying still for so long, went by relatively quick and easy.

In the morning sessions, I had some classic songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s to listen to but you can ask for any music you'd like and it helps to pass the time. In the afternoon session, I had free reign of Netflix and again this helped the time to pass by quickly.

For the entire day, I had food and drink provided to keep my sugar levels up and overall, it had a very calm, relaxing feel to it. All of the girls were friendly, talkative and I would imagine that if you were nervous, this would really help to calm you down.

Since my treatment, I have been back for two hair washes, my donor area has fully healed, and I haven’t experienced any discomfort or pain. For a week or two, I was able to experience what my new hairline would look like but now that I am five weeks in, I am currently experiencing the shedding phase. I know from research and speaking to HQ that this is normal and nothing to worry about, so I am being patient and waiting to see how it changes over the next 12 months.

Overall, I am delighted with how the day went and I am so glad that I went ahead with the treatment.

Everyone at HQ is friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do. Dr Ted is truly remarkable at what he does, and you would struggle to find someone better.

The whole experience was so pleasant that if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to HQ.

Like others ive spent endless hours on the Internet looking at pictures of celebrities that have gone through the hair transplant process.
I was never worried about the procedure it was more the stigma of what others would think.
I decided to make some enquiries and booked a video call with Xavier.
This relaxed friendly conversation put me at ease immediately.
As a result i booked a consultation with Dr Ted to find out more.
The free consultation with Dr Ted really does set the tone for the whole journey.
We had a good discussion about why I wanted the procedure and how it was effecting my confidence. At no point did i feel as though I was being sold a product and i left knowing that my mind was made up. I booked as soon as I got home!
I had the transplant yesterday and I was blown away by it.
The facilities are fantastic!.
Dr Ted is a master of his craft and the team of technicians are incredible.
I couldnt imagine a team working any better than Dr ted and his Technicians. Each one playing a critical role and still finding time to keep me at ease with small talk.
The incredible thing about the procedure is the total lack of pain.
I've been given pain killers in my after care bag and I genuinely havent needed them.

I cant recommend HQ hair transplants enough. Professional, Very high quality standards and lovely people.

Im so happy I chose HQ Hair transplants they really are excellent at what they do.

HQ are the best!

After researching potential places to go and considering having a hair transplant, I met with Xavier back in January 2020, I knew instantly that HQ was the place to go, I then met with Dr Ted and he filled me with confidence over the procedure.

I had my hair transplant back in October 2020 and since then my confidence has rocketed. Every month watching the progress of the growth has been phenomenal.

The team at HQ were professional, big shout out to Xavier, Dr Ted, Ciara, Sam and Chelsey for making the day the best it possibly could be.

After the procedure Dr Ted sent me on my way with detailed instruction on the after care process, his number and a strong new hairline. Dr Ted's attention to detail is second to none. I can't thank Dr Ted and HQ enough.

If anyone is thinking of getting a hair transplant, I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Xavier. His passion, professionalism and knowledge is top notch. Xavier treats you as a friend, rather than another client. Outstanding service.
