My 3 Days in Türkiye

Here's how my journey really unfolded — from touchdown, to transformation, to takeoff.

Start your journey

Day 1

Arrival

Flew in from Sacramento and landed in Istanbul, which was already an experience in itself. A shuttle was waiting for me at the airport and took me straight to my hotel, so everything felt super easy from the start. I checked in, relaxed, caught up on sleep, and got myself fully ready for the big day.

Day 2

Procedure

The shuttle picked me up from the hotel and brought me to the clinic. The team mapped out my new hairline and made sure everything looked exactly how I wanted before starting. Everyone was so professional and made me feel comfortable the whole time. After the procedure, I headed back to the hotel to rest and recover.

Day 3

Aftercare

The next day I went back to the clinic for my first wash. They walked me through exactly how to take care of everything and sent me home with my full aftercare kit. After that, it was time to head to the airport and fly back home feeling really excited about the whole journey.

Here's a full breakdown of what I got, where I went, and how much it cost.

My Progress

Every stage of recovery felt like a small victory. From swelling to new growth, watching my hair come back day by day reminded me exactly why I did this.
