hahhaha bullit buddy !

 

Good find , keep up the good word detective , we have to work together to stop sneaky scum like isherwood from butchering anymore unsuspecting and vunrable thinning guys .

 

I had a guy visit me the other week from across the UK to check out my HT in person , this guy had work done ONLY 18 months ago with NOBEL , another UK butcher mill , they gave the kid , sticky up mini and micro grafts for fucks sake !!!!!!

 

I have to stress this was only 18 fucking months ago !!!!

 

Wankers !

 

Anyway this guy is seeking a repair and couldn't believe what I had even had a HT .

 

TOP REASEACH = TOP DOCTOR = TOP RESULTS ... it really is that simple

 

good luck with your desision over any future work bullit

Guest josh - b

bullinut,

 

kudos to you.

 

Most of us are familiar with your mauling at the hands of norton. To see this band of cosmetic criminals reinventing themselves in another guise turns my stomach.

 

keep up the good work

Any ideas on what surgeon you might choose and what your going to have done?

 

Ritchie is right you are a impressive detective and doing good work to make people aware! When i first started researching the Norton website was one of the first sites i visited, i'm glad i found the forums before i made a decision and i'm grateful as i'm sure many others are to people such as yourself for sharing your results, so that we can make a considered informed decision. Top man!

I went to them Wankers about 18 months ago, they told me I would get 2000 grafts for ??2500 but I only received about 800, which stick upright like corn rows. lol

 

How long ago was your surgery and how many grafts did you get ?

 

I am considering going to Farjo or Hasson and Wong, maybe we could meet up sometime and have a chat about surgery and past experiences, would like to see your transplant, you can have a look at mine and have a laugh!

Thanks josh b it makes me sick also. follically challenged mate im not sure yet but ive 99 percent made up my mind its going to be feller as there are many good cases posted that impress me icon_smile.gif

Hey bullit i'm gutted to hear you were butchered pal but the norton lot are not all butchers i had a 800 fue session there by vernikos when it was still norton that turned out ok with reasonable coverage and defo no butchering about 4 year ago which spex has seen in person.

 

I'm not defending them because the twats ruined a lot of lives but i think it was mainly tom norton and his croanies quite a long time ago that did it and thats why jeremy and vernikos have set up on there own to wash there hands of tom.

 

On the other hand i've never seen anyone say a good word other than me.

I started using propecia and minoxidil in 2000

Had 7 hair transplants over 12200 grafts by way of strip but

glad you had a good experience dude....i personally dont trust anyone that is or has been associated with Jeremy period.

 

 

Jeremy is not as innocent as your trying to make him sound as hes laughed at my butcherings on more the one occasion on various sites....and also made viscous comments regarding myself.

 

I know if i worked at a place that was physically ruining peoples appearances on a daily basis i would move straight away and ditch the job....i wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

 

Jeremy was there when Kevin Hartley was there, before Thernikos...... who also butchered many.

 

His job was to persuade people to actually have the surgery so to me he was worse than a crooked car salesman!!

 

That being said if your one of the handful of lucky ones im truly happy for you mate.

 

regards and warm wishes.

It sounds a lot like i'm the only lucky one if i'd of gone there 5 years earlier i would of been butchered for sure i suppose.

 

With the clinic being close to leeds i just went it was before i was on any forums you see so was just luck i got. I hear bad things about vernikos quite a lot but not sure why he's not like tom and hartley.

 

It will be interesting to see how things pan out at fue clinics which is jeremys new company, they've played it safe only doing fue i suppose it's harder to mess donar up than strip. Correction they do strip too sorry.

I've seen Vernikos extracting grafts via fue and it was brutal. Just the name Norton, basically means "worst hair transplant in the world" you were lucky.

 

Norton was jailed for morphine abuse and for glassing some poor sod in the face. Going to this guy was the worst mistake of my life.

 

They can't wash their hands of it, they participated with it and are just as bad as him. If Isherwood laughed at my bad experience with Norton, i'd go after him, I'm not as forgiving as BN.

 

Norton was struck of for disfiguring patients, one lady in particular who woke up during a lipo op, and Norton said "will someone get this F-in bitch back under" she also felt all of the pain.

I wanted to bump this thread because a few years ago before I found this site, I almost had a consultation with Theo Vernikos......I was in a bad way and would certainly have gone through with the surgery. I had a very lucky escape by just happening to come across propecia and deciding to try that first to stabilise the loss.

 

Bumping this to hopefully save any other UK people from going down this route with these so called "Norton butchers"

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon

I had dealings with this clinic, but i didnt have an operation though, thankgod. I purchased a years worth of advodart. This was about 8 or 9 years ago. The cost came to about 500 quid. I paid with my credit card, and a few days later the pills arrived.

But it turned out that an error had been made and my card had been declined so the payment didnt go through, but the pills got sent out anyway. I got a call about a month later from a very irate Norton ( i presume it was him, he said he owned the clinic ) demanding his 500 quid, i just kept laughing at him, which made him more and more irate.

 

I knew i was moving house within a few weeks anyway, so i told him there was no way he was getting his 500 quid, his mistake , tough s**t, so f**k off ! He was screaming down the phone as i hung up. He kept calling my mobile for weeks, i had great fun winding him up, when he phoned i would put the phone next to a stereo and play it loud, laugh at him, swear at him.. call the clinic when i was drunk etc etc( i think you get the picture ), i changed my number in the end, but it was good fun all the same.

Does anyone know anything fresh last I heard Jeremy and Tom fell out and Jeremy set up his own clinics around the uk with theo about 2 years ago. Is Norton clinic in Wakefield still in business?
