TJ Hair System no longer performs FUT (strip) hair transplants, so we do not quote it. If you are comparing costs, here is how FUT compares with FUE, why we chose FUE and what an FUE package costs with us.
What is FUT?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also called the strip method, removes a thin strip of skin from the donor area. The strip is divided into follicular units that are then placed in thinning areas. See our FUT vs FUE page.
FUT vs FUE
| FUE | FUT | |
|---|---|---|
| How donor hair is taken | One follicular unit at a time | A thin strip of scalp |
| How the donor area heals | Through small extraction points | Along a single linear scar |
| What may remain | Small, scattered marks | A line that needs surrounding hair to cover it |
| At TJ Hair System | The technique we perform | No longer offered |
Why we perform FUE
- No linear scar. FUE does not remove a strip of scalp, so the donor area heals through small extraction points.
- One unit at a time. Each follicular unit is extracted individually, prepared and placed following your planned direction and hairline design.
- Healing in days. The micro-wounds in the donor area close in a few days.
- Clear expectations. Small extraction marks can remain, and your medical team explains what to expect before your procedure.
What FUE costs at TJ Hair System
FUE packages start at $3,950 USD, all-inclusive, and your exact quote is confirmed after a free evaluation of your photos and donor area. Compare every package on our pricing page.

Great experience at TJ Hair Clinic in Tijuana for my hair transplant! The staff was fantastic from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. They took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, so I always knew what to expect and never felt rushed or confused. The whole team made the day genuinely enjoyable too. During the procedure, we all ended up watching the Argentina vs Cape Verde World Cup game together—someone even handed me a phone so I could catch the action since I couldn't see the TV from my chair. It added a fun, relaxed vibe to the appointment without interrupting the procedure at all. Highly recommend TJ Hair Clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant. Professional, well-organized, and a great team all around. Five stars!

I can honestly say that my experience at TJ Hair Clinic was great. From the moment I arrived in San Diego, the driver stayed in constant communication with me, which made everything stress-free. Once I arrived at the clinic, the entire process was smooth, organized, and professional. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and willing to answer every question I had. The staff made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience. I would highly recommend TJ Hair Clinic to anyone considering a hair procedure. I’ll be sure to update later with my results.

I had been debating on doing a Hair Transplant for a few years. I looked all over the place on the Internet from Turkey to Mexico to here in the United States. I found TJ Hair Clinic through my brother-in-law‘s brother who had gone back in December. He had a great experience and answered all my questions that I had for him about it. Is hair looked great and had nothing but great things to say. I finally decided to take the plunge and go to TJ hair clinic last week. They were amazing from the time they picked me up from the airport to the time they dropped me off in San Diego the next day at my hotel. For the money and cost of the whole trip flying to San Diego it was so much cheaper than flying to Turkey or even doing the Hair Transplant in the United States so to me it was a no-brainer cause they literally use the same techniques and are just as good if not BETTER than Turkey. The other thing that I loved about these guys was that on some of the places I had researched people said it was not the doctor that’s actually doing the procedure. It is the technicians that are helping but at TJ hair clinic the doctor did the entire insert of all the hairs, while the technicians extracted the hairs, but it was the doctor did the rest and I really like that. I would recommend TJ Hair to anyone looking to do this. I’ve already sent links to quite a few friends asking me about it.

I had an amazing experience with TJ Men’s Hair Clinic from start to finish. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Now at five months post-op, I couldn’t be happier with my results and the progress I’m seeing. The growth has been incredible, and it’s honestly exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering a hair restoration procedure, I highly recommend TJ Men’s Hair Clinic. They truly care about their patients and deliver outstanding results.

Had a hair transplant and love the results. Driver was excellent and staff did a great job. Going back for 2nd transplant for crown. Stick to well known areas within TJ and you will be fine.
