How to read these photos

Every photograph on this page is a client treated by Simon Yalniz at the studio on Montgomery Street. Nothing here is stock imagery and nothing is borrowed from another studio.

What you are looking at

Most of the work shown here is completed over three sessions. The first session lays a foundation, the second builds density, and the third refines the edges and blends the result into whatever hair is still there. Sessions are spaced to let the skin settle in between.

Fresh results look different from healed results

A scalp photographed straight after a session looks darker and sharper than it will in two weeks. Pigment settles over roughly seven to ten days and softens noticeably. If a photo looks bolder than you expected, it is usually a same-day shot rather than a healed one.

Why two people with similar hair loss get different plans

Skin tone and how skin holds pigment. The same pigment reads differently on different skin, which is why colour is matched at the consultation rather than chosen from a chart.
How much native hair is left. Adding density to thinning hair is a different job from covering a fully shaved scalp.
Scar tissue. FUT strip scars and FUE dot scars take pigment unevenly and often need more patience than untouched skin.
The look you want. A crisp hairline and a soft, age-appropriate hairline are both correct answers - they are just different decisions.

Compare like with like

Hairline restoration, crown density, scar camouflage and full shaved-head coverage are separate treatments with separate expectations. When you look through the gallery, find the photos that match your own situation rather than the most dramatic transformation on the page.

Results vary with skin type, the area treated and how you heal. The only honest way to know what is realistic for your scalp is to have it looked at. Book a free consultation or text (415) 508-8318 with a photo - there is no charge and no obligation.
