Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2023 His old videos were mediocre. Maybe he’s more knowledgable now. Either way, I don’t think he has any special insight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Legend007 Posted March 27, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) He has a great side hustle going. Over $100+ dollars for a 30 min phone call. What is he going to tell you in 30 mins? hey baby it’s okay, don’t feel bad being bald. Daddy still luvs you. Send me pics. I look into it. Then it will extend to the 60 min mark. To make its $240 for the consultation. And since you are already paying him that much. He feel invested into him now. after your transplant if you have questions or concerns. He’s going to charge you again to call him.. so it’s not just a one time scam .. it’s an ongoing scam where he’s banking off each customer. For hundreds of dollars. My suggestion is u pay me $10 dollars n I tell u the same thing he will.. homie discount hey it’s marketing for ya. U do u .

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 28, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 28, 2023 What are his qualifications to make him an authority to charge you money? How many hair transplants has he performed? How many years has he put into post graduate study? Nothing personal but there are a lot of YouTube 'influencers' out there who are making money off vulnerable young guys. As @Melvin- Moderator so rightly stated you could learn far more here from HRN from people with a lot more worldly experience.

For people with no time, $100 isn't outrageous. if a midrange HT is $10k in the US, this is 1% of the price. Maybe he sends the person to a better place than say Bosley or something the person would have picked. Then money well spent.

When he puts you in touch with his own personalized hair transplant mill in Turkey, would he be doing this out of pure brotherly love so you don't end up with a repair job like his repair job? Or would he be getting a kick back? Hmmmmm. 🤥 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 29, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 29, 2023 I will say this, Matt does a good job on YouTube, he’s got a good following. His videos can be entertaining. I believe he’s learned from lurking on here. My biggest issue is that he doesn’t admit that he made a mistake his first HT. It was not natural and done poorly. He received several repairs afterwards. His message would be powerful if he said “don’t do what I did” instead he doubled down. Unfortunately, that isn’t a good message. It’s unfortunately what many on Reddit fall for, believing cheap surgery = good surgery. 4 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

I can't believe he actually does this. The best part is he offers a "independent assessment from a 3rd party expert that is not financially motivated" but charges $100, lmao. 1 1 FUE 2400 Grafts (2023) - Dr. Panine; Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic FUT 1400 Grafts (2019) - Dr. Steven Paul Holt; Holt Hair Restoration/Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best hair transplant strategy if you’re not a candidate is NO surgery. Also, it needs to be clear whether he’s receiving any commission by referring you to a clinic. The not financially motivated is not true, even if he isn’t receiving commission because he’s charging for the consultation. I have no problems with him monetizing his channel or services. But he should be transparent. He could say “I work with surgeons I trust, based on research. I receive a commission for referrals, so if you trust me and value my opinion, let’s work together.” At that point its clear, it’s really up to the individual to decide. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Britanium Posted March 30, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2023 The hair loss industry has all sorts of “experts” that are seizing opportunities to make money. Anybody can do their own research and pretty much come to the same conclusions. Don’t listen to any one individual, don’t listen to any one clinic/Dr. Gain as much knowledge from as many sources as possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 31, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2023 I didn't know Matt still considers his first transplant a success. It seemed obviously unnatural to me. But, to be honest, I still think this about his appearance. He has made improvements, but something about it still looks a little off. That claim of no financial motivation just makes him look worse and worse. For such an expensive phone call. What can he realistically do for you in a "consultation?" I would guess he'd tell you a Norwood level, some basic info about FUE and FUT, DHT inhibitors, something about graft numbers and some basic words of caution. All very good but basic things you can find here, for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member NegativeNorwood Posted March 31, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2023 For that amount of money, you could add 30 minutes of browsing here looking for doctors with high quality, honest pictures and great results, read some patient reviews to see if they are on the same page as you, and book a consult with your doctor of choice. 100% sure you'll get much better info from it. 4 "Mature hairline" is euphemism for balding.
