Made an appointment for a consultation for my top thinning hair. The day of my appointment the receptionist was so welcoming and kind, she eased my nerves instantly. Then I got to meet Leslie. Within seconds she made me feel like I was in a safe place and assured me she could help me. She gave me a scalp analysis that showed I actually have hair growing back in my problem areas. She thoroughly explained the different options available to me and walked me through the process. I ended up deciding on a CNC Hair and scalp prosthetic system. She allowed me to try on and see several different options, even letting me try HERS on!!! Needless to say I fell in love with the reflection in the mirror. It’s something I had not done in quite a while. I could not wait the four months it would take to make one (impatient lol) so I decided on one she had right there that day. She cut it, styled it and gave me back the confidence I had been missing. I could not be more happy with this process or the amazing people that helped me become ME again!! I wish I could give her (Leslie) and her establishment more than 5 stars. There’s no amount I could give her to give her even a quarter of what she has given me 🩷

I’m currently three months out from my hair transplant with Mane Image Hair, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far.
From day one, the entire team made me feel comfortable and well-informed. The procedure itself was much smoother than I expected, with very minimal pain overall. Honestly, the most uncomfortable part was just getting the stitches removed—but even that was manageable.
The post-procedure care has been outstanding. The instructions, follow-ups, and overall communication have made the healing process feel easy and supported every step of the way.
At this point, I’ve gone through the shedding phase, which they prepared me for ahead of time. The transplanted hair has fallen out and is now in the dormant phase, and I’m excited knowing it should start growing back between months 6–9.
I’ve also been doing red light therapy every couple of days, and I’ve actually noticed my existing hair looking fuller already, which has been a great bonus.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my results so far and even more impressed with the professionalism and care from this team. If you’re considering a hair transplant, I highly recommend Maine Image Hair—they’ve been amazing for me thus far

Im so glad that I did my procedure in this clinic 7 months ago, I feel like it was the best decision I could have made and also I’m so happy with the results so far. I recommend that if you’re thinking about doing it, just do it. You’re going to be in good hands and Mane Image. The team and doctor made me feel so comfortable. Leslie has been so attentive answering any questions or doubts I had both before and after my procedure. I would recommend to anyone dealing with hair loss or just wanting to feel more confident again.

Went thru the transplant procedure... Can't wait to see the full results in a couple of months. Great service and problem free-pain free... didn't take anything other than Tylenol post surgery. The most uncomfortable thing for me was sleeping sitting up for a couple of days...
Listen to their instructions and things go smoothly. Very happy!

If your are planning to do your hair transplant here is the best place to do it. Before surgery I had many doubts and was afraid to do it. But Leslie and doctor made me feel very comfort and cleared all doubts. Very happy after the hair transplant. The surgery was painless , and the care provided post-surgery was excellent

I had such a great experience here! The staff was warm and welcoming, and they absolutely nailed both my color and style. My hair turned out even better than I imagined — fresh, flattering, and exactly what I wanted. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely be coming back!

I cannot say enough great things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The entire staff is so warm and friendly, and they truly go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Leslie, the doctor, and the entire staff are absolutely amazing – they take extra care to explain everything, answer all questions, and check in on you throughout the process. It’s clear they genuinely care about their patients, not just the procedure. The level of professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail here is second to none. I am so thankful I chose them and would highly recommend this team to anyone considering hair transplant surgery!

Went to Mane Image for my hair transplant. Here is a review of my experiences with them. 1st off Meagan the patient coordinator was amazing to deal with. She is super friendly, answered all my questions and made me comfortable the whole process, from consultation to the finished product. Speaking of consultation, the owner Leslie was so nice, informative of all the options and I never felt pressured, which is huge for me, I don't want to be sold I want to be informed and they did a great job of that at Mane Image. After deciding a hair transplant was the route I wanted to go, which I had in mind before I walked in. I had been doing research prior and I even have a friend who has had one. But after the consultation I was positive I was going to go through with it and that Mane Image was where I wanted to go. Day of the procedure I show up the staff is all ready to go, Dr. G was great at making me feel comfortable, as were his assistants Tina and Ruth, I knew I was in good hands. They explained again everything we were about to do, we discussed my desired hairline and drew it on. Shaved the area we would be transplanting on and moved to the operation room. After taking my vitals I recieved a sedative, fell asleep and away they went. I woke up after they had taken the donor strip stitched me up and made the incisions for the grafts to be placed. I was awake while they implanted the grafts just chatting with Meagan and the assistants, I didn't feel a thing. They finished I took a look at their beautiful work, and then got to enjoy a complimentary meal! Next day I followed up with Meagan for a wash and a laser treatment and I couldn't be more excited for the months to come. If you are on the fence about your hair thinning or balding or any issues in that department I'm telling you, go to Mane Image, the consultation is free, it's low pressure and I can bet they have something for you. For reference, I am a 36 year old male who has been balding and shaving my head since I was 21. You don't have to wait as long as I did. You won't regret taking this step. Thank you Mane Image, I look forward to continuing my hair journey with you!
