MEET THE TEAM AT HAIR CENTERS OF AMERICA

Layla Salim is the founder and leading specialist at Hair Centers of America. Hailing from Minnesota, she completed her education at Mayo Clinic’s School of Health Sciences Surgical First program.

After gaining experience in cosmetic surgery and later working at a dermatology center, Salim identified a significant need for a medical tattoo artist to address hair loss and scars. This realization led her to establish Medical Tattoo & Cosmetic Centers of America, Minnesota's pioneering center offering medical solutions for hair loss and cosmetic enhancements.

With the expansion into Hair Centers of America, Salim now provides permanent solutions for all forms of hair loss and enhances facial hair, including eyebrows, beards, and mustaches. What sets us apart is that we are highly specialized, offering to bring in hair loss professionals who specialize in your specific hair type and procedure. This helps ensure the highest success rate and hair retention.

Neograft Technicians

Since hair transplant procedures can take up to eight hours, Neograft (the company that makes the hair transplant machine) has a set of certified technicians who have been doing hair transplants on this exact grafting machine for 10 to 20 years.

In an effort to provide our patients with the best outcomes for hair transplants, Hair Centers of America will be flying out a hair technician from Neograft for procedures.
