Solve Med Spa Chicago

4.9393 Google reviews

Solve Med Spa Chicago is the River North location from the same Solve Clinics group, offering FUE and FUE beard transplants, PRP hair restoration, and non-surgical hair loss treatments alongside a broader med spa menu of facials, injectables, and body treatments. It's a newer, second location built around a wider service list than the original Skokie hair transplant clinic. Reviewers describe a clean, modern space and consistently mention feeling like the pricing was reasonable for what they received.

What people praise

  • Multiple reviewers specifically call out fair or reasonable pricing for the service level
  • Reviewers describe the space as clean, modern, and calming
  • Staff get named directly and praised for detail-oriented, unrushed treatment

Worth knowing

  • As a newer, broader med spa location, hair transplant surgery volume may be lower here than at the original Skokie clinic, worth asking about specifically

Northwestern Hair Restoration Clinic

4.9193 Google reviews

Northwestern Hair Restoration Clinic is a River North practice where Dr. Vinay Rawlani personally performs every Micro PUE hair transplant rather than delegating the surgery to a technician. The clinic specifically treats women's hair loss as well as men's, a service reviewers note is harder to find in the city. Reviews describe a deliberate, unhurried consultation process and a physician who explains the treatment plan step by step before any procedure begins.

What people praise

  • Reviewers specifically value that the physician performs every transplant himself rather than delegating to staff
  • One reviewer notes the clinic is one of few in Chicago that treats women's hair loss specifically
  • Multiple reviewers describe a pragmatic, non-rushed approach to explaining the treatment plan

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer describes a dispute over a separate contracting arrangement unrelated to the medical procedure itself, worth getting any non-medical agreement in writing

Bosley - Hair Restoration & Transplant - Chicago

4.4279 Google reviews

Bosley is a national hair restoration chain with a Michigan Avenue location offering both surgical FUE transplants and non-surgical treatment options. As one of the longest-running names in the industry, Bosley's Chicago office pairs sales consultations with physician-led procedures, and reviewers frequently mention specific graft counts and pricing discussed during those consults. It's the largest, most established chain name on this page rather than an independent local practice.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe consultations as clear and transparent about graft counts and total cost
  • Staff get named directly for patience and thorough follow-up on maintenance and future procedures
  • Multiple reviewers mention feeling well-informed before deciding whether to proceed

Worth knowing

  • At least one reviewer reports being disappointed with final density nearly two years after the procedure despite a professional-looking hairline, worth discussing realistic density expectations directly with the surgeon beforehand

Our take: Bosley ranks fourth with a 4.4 average, the lowest on this page, though still a solid score across nearly 280 reviews. Its national scale and transparent consult pricing are real strengths; weigh the density-related review carefully if that's your top concern.

Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic

4.8136 Google reviews

Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic is a Michigan Avenue practice led by Dr. Panine, who reviewers describe researching specifically against other IAHRS-affiliated surgeons before choosing. The clinic performs both FUE and FUT hair restoration surgery, and reviewers frequently mention comparing Dr. Panine's results portfolio and consultation style against several other Chicago surgeons before booking. Office manager Stuart also comes up repeatedly for coordinating scheduling and follow-up.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe an honest, non-oversold consultation style, including one patient told to try non-surgical options first
  • Office coordinator Stuart gets named repeatedly for responsive, organized scheduling and follow-up
  • One reviewer reports thick natural regrowth with no visible signs of the harvest area more than a year out

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer describes a surgery cancellation just over a week before the scheduled date, worth confirming the clinic's cancellation and rescheduling policy upfront

Our take: Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic rounds out the list with a 4.8 average, though its review count is the smallest here. Reviewers who researched multiple IAHRS surgeons before choosing consistently landed on this practice, which is worth noting.

How we score these clinics

Rating is the clinic’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many real patients left a rating; more reviews means a wider sample to judge from. Confidence blends rating and volume, so a strong score across hundreds of reviews counts for more than the same score from a handful. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing, and completeness checks whether a working website, phone number, and posted hours are all on file. No clinic can pay to move these numbers.

How much does a hair transplant cost in Chicago? (2026)

Hair transplant pricing depends heavily on graft count, technique, and whether a physician performs the surgery personally, and it varies by clinic. A couple of reviewers on this page mention specific figures they were quoted, which we’re including as reference points only, not a guaranteed rate.

JobTypical price
FUE transplant, approx. 3,000 grafts (reviewer-quoted)around $14,500
FUE transplant, approx. 1,900 grafts (reviewer-reported total paid)around $9,700

Figures compiled July 2026 from patient-reported quotes in Google reviews at Bosley Chicago; get a personal consultation and written quote before committing, since graft count and technique change the total significantly.

Serving Chicago and the North Shore

These clinics span from Skokie and River North to the Magnificent Mile, so residents across the North Side and North Shore suburbs are within a reasonable drive of at least one option. If you’re searching for a hair transplant near me from the Loop or Lincoln Park, expect a straightforward trip to any of the Michigan Avenue or River North clinics above.

What to ask before you book a hair transplant

  • Will the physician perform the surgery personally, or will a technician handle part of the procedure?
  • What technique do you recommend for my case, FUE or FUT, and why?
  • How many grafts do you estimate I’ll need, and what’s the total cost including any follow-up sessions?
  • What’s realistic to expect for density and coverage, based on my specific hair loss pattern?
  • What does your policy look like if I need a second procedure for fuller coverage?
  • Can I see before-and-after results from patients with a similar starting point to mine?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these clinics?

We pulled hair transplant businesses in Chicago with a real Google presence, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, how recently people are still reviewing, and how complete each business’s public listing is.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We recheck ratings and review counts periodically and update the list when the numbers move.

Does a physician always perform the surgery at these clinics?

It varies. Northwestern Hair Restoration Clinic’s reviews specifically emphasize that its physician performs every transplant himself. At other clinics, ask directly during your consult who will be performing which part of the procedure.

Is a hair transplant permanent?

Results vary by patient, technique, and clinic, and no outcome can be guaranteed. Discuss your specific case, expectations, and realistic timeline directly with a licensed surgeon.

The bottom line

Solve Clinics is the safest default on review volume alone, a 4.9 average across the largest patient base on this page. If having one named surgeon perform the entire procedure matters most, Northwestern Hair Restoration Clinic is the clearest match. Get a written quote and ask hard questions about realistic coverage before you book any clinic on this list.
