From start to finish everything has been above expectations. Airport transfers, the hotel, the drivers and the staff at the hospital.
Having a lot of nerves before hand, the whole experience has been excellent.
Everyone has been friendly, professional and always putting you at ease.
Thoroughly recommend Elithair to anyone who is considering this procedure.

I just came back to New York from Istanbul.
I have to say that these guys are professionals and they now exactly what are they doing.
They pick you up from the airport and they are very organized. I have seen my friends results and I’m just amazed how good they look!!! So I just can’t wait to see my results.
George my contact point was very helpful and was there for me anytime I need him, as well as Ella the translator.
Elithair is the NO1 clinic in Turkey and the place to go. I highly recommend

Since discovering these guys on Instagram and getting in touch, I've been delighted by the entire experience. Initially George got in touch to talk through a quotation without any pressure to buy. The quote was very reasonable and I booked it in for January 2020.
Upon arrival, George kept in touch throughout to make sure I was alright and all transfers, meals etc. were provided, as well as a 5* hotel! The operation itself was handled very professionally and I wholeheartedly recommend the clinic. They deal with a lot of patients but despite this you still feel personally valued. Aftercare and the service provided by Norma deserves a stand out mention ????

Warning ⚠️ to the people who want transplant I wouldn’t recommend this clinic I have done my hair transplant on this clinic I am not satisfied because they done lot of damage to my donor and I have very bad hairline please do research before you get hair transplant

I attended ElitHair for a DHI hair transplant in Istanbul from 26/06/22 to 28/06/22.
What I loved about Elithair is that they were in constant communication with me, before the transplant providing excellent information over the phone, email and via WhatsApp. Whenever I had a question or ran in to trouble they always put me at ease. The staff on the phone were exceptional, specifically Nathalia in Berlin who was in contact with me before the transplant process, very friendly and once again providing great information and advice, and Daniel in the UK, who was kind enough to contact me after my transplant to make sure everything was going well.
The process was very smooth, I arrived in Istanbul and had a short wait for my shuttle to the hair clinic/hospital. They reminded me me of the entire process, and although I had complete trust in their abilities, I imagine it would have been very reassuring to someone who would have been feeling stressed about the procedure.
They have a multitude of translators for many languages it seems, though their primary customers seem to be German. There was no problems with communication during my procedure. The team conducting my transplant told me what they were doing, as they were doing it. They did not speak much English, but I appreciated that they were chatting among themselves during the operation, I much prefer this to 9 hours of silence.
Regarding the procedure itself, I was getting 3300 grafts taken from the donor area at the back of my head. This took around 3.5 to 4 hours. There was some initial delays as one piece of their equipment was not working properly, but they fixed this quite quickly. I was injected with anaesthetic at many points around the donor area, and the procedure was relatively painless, I found myself daydreaming at times.
During the implantation phase of the operation (crown and front hairline) I did experience some pain, but the surgeons and assistants took care of this when I brought it to their attention. This took another 4 hours or so. Once the operation was completed, they had me wait in the hospital for some time to make sure I was feeling okay then sent me via a shuttle to the hotel again.
On the final day I was advised how to wash and treat my hair for the short to mid-term and the team answered any questions I had.
Overall excellent experience and I would highly recommend ElitHair. I will post a future review upon seeing the full results of my transplant in the next year or so. There are many more postitive things I would like to say about ElitHair, but I would not like to turn a review into a book.

Luxury clinic, unfortunately bad stuff, keep us waiting 2 hours and comparing with other clinics prices tooo much
Submitted by Farukh Amini , 3 years ago
Great experience from start to finish! The setup is very professional and staff are highly competent. The hospital where the procedure is conducted is clean, relatively new and similar to what we expect from a private hospital in the UK. Overall, my procedure took about 9 hours but I had grafts to cover the front and crown. Staff are multilingual, explain matters well and provide all required medication. Could not have chosen a better place!

The registration services provided by the German team in Berlin was a nightmare and has room for improvement - this is why I give this one star less.
The experience in Turkey with the local team is much much better and deserves a 5 star rating. The operation went smooth and after one day all the pain and swelling is gone. Looking for the ultimate result.

For a full beard, I underwent transplantation of 4200 grafts.
I traveled to Istanbul from Seattle; everything was excellent; the clinic was the best and cleanest I have ever seen; the customer service; the doctors ,and even the surgical staff were excellent; the score is no longer higher than 5 star, if it were, they would have unquestionably received a higher score than 5 from me.
We appreciate your assisting costumers accomplish their goals and your reasonable pricing.
If you need hair transplant you should absolutely give it a shot.

I’m very happy with my experience. I booked three months before, I had a full consultation via WhatsApp and phone calls.
I paid the deposit, I was emailed all the information I needed in a PDF pack. So I knew everything that was going to happen. When the day of the flight I finally came, they collected me and a few others from the airport and bought a straight to the clinic.
We did a blood test straight away and a full health check. And the next day we began the process.
They have a huge beautiful building in Istanbul, it’s about 10 stories, with hundreds of staff. They operate on 75 to 100 patients a day. It’s clean and luxurious and professional. The hotel is in the building as well.
There are free breakfast, lunch and dinner whilst you stay here.
The day of the operation went very smoothly, they treated me so well. They gave me laughing, gas and morphine and I didn’t feel any pain whatsoever.
The procedure was about eight hours long, and then the next day we remove the bandages and they gave me after-care advice. And then they drop me straight to the airport.
All in all, I highly recommend this place to everyone, it is a little bit more expensive than the usual places in Istanbul. However, it’s totally worth it when it comes to your health.

I had my hair transplant just under 4 years ago I couldn't be happier with the results people literally can't tell I've had a hair transplant it's that good.
I went to beautiful Turkey from North England where I was treated like family, so professional so efficient the staff are brilliant.
Dr Balwi is the master of his trade.
If your worried about your hair I doubt there's a better man to arrange a meeting with, I reccomend Elithair to everyone I can.

Ok, so they do absolutely everything, transfers, hotel, food, consultation, advice, actual operation, after care, Everything. And the service, and qualifications, it’s all fully trained doctors and nurses, the bottom line, you will not get a better one, and the equipment and facilities is next level, so you have 2 options, you can either pay £20,000 in the uk, or hop on a 4 hour plane journey and get it for £3000 all in inclusive of flights, you only need to be here 2 days, trust me, it’s all good.

UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF
I am writing to address an initial phone conversation that took place today with one of your Team Leaders, whom I believe is based in the UK. I had a scheduled phone consultation to inquire about the hair transplant process and gain further details about your service.
During our interaction, I had a feeling that the conversation would not go well as she was not letting me ask questions. I also noticed, she was cutting me off during the duration of our conversation. There were multiple times when I was trying to ask a question, and she would not let me finish and cut me off immediately. As a result, I had to ask the question again to get the information I needed. There were also moments where I was speaking, and she did not seem to want to listen to my concerns, to the point where she raised her voice and tried to talk over me in an authoritative manner, which was very unprofessional and unethical. I had to tell her multiple times, "Please let me finish so that you can understand my point."
I work in the medical field, and her behaviour during the initial contact is very concerning and disheartening. There was an argument because of her rudeness and work ethics. She eventually hung up the phone on me.
Shortly after, I received a message from WhatsApp stating that it would be best for me to find another clinic. This is her actual message - "Hi there! We wish you best of luck in finding a good clinic after the consultation we had, we think it will be best for you to move on to another clinic, coming from the teamleader of the Department for all English speaking patients. If there's a higher Position you want to get in touch with that would be Doctor Balwi in Istanbul. Thank you for your understanding and good day :-).
I continued to exchange messages with her, and she indicated that she was providing a final message so that her employees would know not to interact with me any longer. This is her message - "Not to mention or be defensive but to give you a final message so that when my employees were to ever get a message they see my message and know they don't need to interact with you. Now sir we have thousands of patients to deal with who are happy with me and our services. It's the weekend and I know for a fact you and I have both better things to do than continue this discussion especially because I don't think we'll agree on anything here."
Further messages from her showed that she was not willing to resolve our disagreement and instead became defensive and dismissive of my feedback, telling her that she was rude and very unprofessional. If you have a staff member like her, especially during the initial contact, she would undoubtedly leave a negative impression on your potential clients. She is your frontline worker, and she needs to have listening skills, empathy, and patience with all the questions from clients.
My intention in sharing this experience is to caution others who may encounter similar situations and to encourage better conflict resolution in the workplace, particularly with potential clients. It is my hope that by speaking out, we can create a culture of respect and professionalism in all our interactions.

My name is Ali, from Iraq, residing in the United States of America. I came to Istanbul for the Elite Hair Center. The driver received us at the airport and took me to the hospital. I waited at the reception for just a bit and met the translator Nazir, who did a beyond wonderful job in explaining the information before and after the operation. Then I started the analysis, such as heart, blood analysis, and x-rays of the scalp area. I completed the reports and met Dr. Abdel Aziz. The doctor began to set the reports, give information, and draw the lines of the donor area and the recipient area with confidence. Then I went to the barber to shave my hair off, and then the driver took me to the hotel. On the second day, the driver came to me at 5:30 in the morning to the hotel and took me to the hospital for an appointment for an operation. There was excellent anesthesia used. This is true because that operation was long, about 6 hours, and I felt absolutely no pain. The third day was removing the bandages and washing the head. I sat with the interpreter Nazir to review all the instructions after the operation, then go to the hotel and then to the airport in first-class hospital cars. I honestly say that I have a fear of blood, needles, and anesthesia, and I was afraid at the beginning, but with the Elite Hair staff, I did not feel any pain or fear. The team was very kind and cooperative at the same time. Thank you from my heart to Dr. Abdel Aziz and to all the respected Elite Hair staff for this excellent service.

I came from the USA for a hair transplant. I did comprehensive research for 8 months, and as I’m a doctor, I know what I'm looking for exactly. I decided to go with Elithair. The coordination before the procedure was great. DAMLA did a great job and facilitated what I needed. Nazeer Ibrahim did fantastic job. Dr Abdulaziz Balwi, and as I expected, gave his honest opinion and his expertise is greatly appreciated. He spent enough time with me, explained everything, and he treated me well. The staff during and after procedure did great job. You feel that they have a great experience and treat everyone special. I think I made the right decision to do my hair transplant at ELİTHAİR. It was pain free with deep sedation. Looking for second session in few months. Strongly recommend this place for hair transplant. They have high volume (excellent experience) without jeopardizing the quality, which is rare to find..

CAREFUL!
Very Low Quality Hair transplants. A Destroyed Donor area & badly placed hair grafts in the front make it impossible for me to have a shorter haircut.
When asked for help, they try to sell you their products and then ignore you.
My case is NOT an exception!
They are only interested in your Money! I urgently advise you to avoid this clinic!

Me and my husband have had the worst experience with them. At first they act all nice and friendly but it’s just them being 2 faced, our friend payed 2000 dollars but for some reason we was charged way more then that and it definetly wasn’t worth the money. After my husband got his treatment his hair grew however they all fell out with his remaining hair too, the doctor didn’t care and said we can’t do anything about it and that he just has to redo his treatment. He wasn’t helping at all. Didn’t even ask to book a follow up. Do not waste ur money on them, we do not reccomend them for sure.

A great and pleasant service from a team at elitehair transplant.
The stuff were very attentive and a doctor's made sure that the process was comfortable and stress free.
Most of all My translator Fatmanur Demir was one of the best staff members and translators who was very attentive and made sure every step of the way was explained carefully and understood.
I'm looking forward to a speedy recovery and a head full of hair thanks to the team at elitehair.

My friend and I came to Istanbul one month ago to do a hair transplant. We also brought women to keep us company. From the moment we landed to the moment we returned, the clinic took care of everything. The Sheraton hotel where we stayed was perfect. Although the procedure lasts about 8 hours, everything went smoothly, and for now everything is going in the right direction. All the best, very professional

I went to turkey to see the most unorganised clinic ever.
The translator arrive late and had me fasting the day before the surgery.
During the days there all we did was wait for nothing no reason. The driver picks you up at 6 am to have you waiting till the evening for any kind of interaction with the staff.
Be ready for a surgery for 9h in a room where no one will tell you what is happening or can speak nothing but turkey( the promised translator is just for you to meet the doctor and bye bye)
The best part is when it comes this website shop, forget about if you live in another country because there is a hiden custom charge of around 60 euros for every order.
Ahhh dont let me forget about having cash for the VIP drivers. It will be a guy watching youtube whilst he drives and in the end of the trip will start talking in english but all what he will say will be: - Money money for the driver.
