I’m a little confused by a consultation I had today so was hoping I could get some advice.
A bit of background, I had my first HT last year with Dr Yaman in Istanbul. The results were ok but I still need work around the crown and refinement at the front.
I had a consultation with the Hairdr UK last year wher they quoted me £6000 for 2000 grafts (£3 per graft). I wasn’t able to do this last year so but have decided the time is now right.
During my consultation last year I provided pics and had a long voice call with the practice manager.
This time round the manager called me via video. Very briefly looked at my hair and told me I need 3,000 grafts at a price of £9000 via an email.
FYI, my hair doesn’t seem to have changed since my consultation last year. I understand that this time someone looked via video, but like I said, it was brief.
So, I replied asking if there was any movement on price as it’s a big increase from my original consultation. She replied saying that this price is a gesture of goodwill and that they usually charge £4 per graft for a repair case.
I was like, hold up, since when was this a repair case. I approached them for a second HT which is fairly normal. It was never called a repair case.
so here’s the thing. I don’t mind paying the higher amount if that’s what I need. It just feels a bit like she is using this £4 per graft repair price as a tacky sales technique.
it has slightly dampened my feelings about the clinic. If she had said our prices are already competitive and we can’t facilitate this that would be fine. But this seems off.
I have asked them to call me to talk about it tomo. If you guys have any thoughts on the meantime I’d love to hear them.
