@thefivehead, according to @Legend007, if no services were delivered, you are entitled to your money back. He was able to get his deposit back. Call your CC company. Read this post for more details.

My assessments on a surgeon are more towards the fundamentals though:

• Naturalness is the fundamental and primary goal of surgical hair restoration
• If paying the premium for FUE, less visible scarring is the primary goal allowing for more flexibility with shorter hairstyles

The methods applied must support these fundamental principles. As for hairline designs, Dr Diep does this well. But also realize, this is the least demanding of tools required in a surgeon's arsenal. If you work with a highly qualified surgeon and express what you want, he should be able to deliver it along with methods that support the fundamental principles. We were able to help this member get going right with gaining that expression. Check it out here.

 

Thank you both for pointing me in the right direction. Just filed a dispute with my credit card company and will keep those interested updated about whether I receive a refund.

Urgh this thread is a handful. I am VERY afraid of the baby-doll hairs and scarred donor, but also Dr. Diep had pretty good results in the past and looks like he produces a huge yield consistently so it's very hard to say, clearly there were some bad results recently. I am following very closely.

Who else should I look at? I am ok with losing the $1000. Hasson&Wong? Who has consistent results/good donor and natural hairline?

I also put a $1000 deposit down with Diep and am horrified after reading all this. It seems his results have really declined and I"m not willing to take that risk. I had to schedule my appointment a year out because they claimed they were booked out that far, but they've been constantly calling, texting and emailing me nearly every week that they've have early appointment availability. I'm assuming because of cancellations? Has anyone else cancelled here and was able to get a refund?

On another note, is there any recommendations for an alternative? I was drawn to Diep because of his hairlines, specifically how low he was willing to make them. I don't have any recession really or family history of MPB but have a very high hairline naturally and am in my mid 20s, so I wanted a HT to lower it a bit, but I see most HT surgeons are hesitant to do so as there may be future recession. Already got 1 HT overseas for this issue, and while it looks very natural, it was a very tiny improvement.
