Hair of Istanbul

What Hair of Istanbul does

Hair of Istanbul is a licensed hair transplant clinic headquartered in Bakırköy, Istanbul, operating under the legal entity Hoi Sağlık Hizmetleri Turizm İnşaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. Founded in 2013, the clinic delivers surgical hair restoration using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) as its primary technique, supplemented by Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), Sapphire FUE, and SLiT implantation methods. The procedure portfolio spans male and female scalp transplants, eyebrow transplants, beard transplants, Afro-textured hair transplants, revision procedures, and forehead reduction, supported by add-on regenerative treatments (PRP, Regenera Activa) and scalp micropigmentation. Treatment planning is differentiated by surgeon-led aesthetic design, including a published Golden Ratio Hairline Design methodology developed by Dr. Ahmet Dilber that uses facial thirds and the Phi (1.618) proportion to produce age-appropriate hairlines, and by pre-operative cardiology screening and anesthesiology review.

The business model is a one-time surgical service sold predominantly to international medical tourism patients. Revenue per case is determined by technique and graft count, with hair transplant packages disclosed in the €3,250–€4,000 range and eyebrow transplants priced at a flat €2,500. Packages bundle the procedure with 5-star hotel accommodation (Crowne Plaza Florya, Fairmont Quasar, JW Marriott Istanbul Bakırköy), VIP airport and clinic transfers, and a post-operative aftercare program featuring L'Oréal Kérastase products. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, executed through an 8-language website (English, Turkish, Slovak, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Bulgarian), 24/7 WhatsApp and Telegram consultation, multilingual SEO, a YouTube testimonial channel, and a Dubai consultation office opened in 2023 to serve Middle East patients. The clinic is founder-operated, privately held, and reports no external investment.

Scale indicators include 51–100 total employees, four named specialist doctors (Dr. Ahmet Dilber, Dr. Barış Adaklı, Dr. Mahmut Satekin, Dr. Hayriye Dilber), more than 19,000 procedures performed since inception, and a patient base drawn from over 30 countries with explicit emphasis on the UK, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The company does not disclose revenue; it has no patents, regulatory actions, or public-market filings.
