Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: THIN verification — kept at Tier 3. The DOCTOR is independently verifiable: Dr Bassaam Najjaar (MBChB UCT 2010) appears in two independent SA physician directories (Medpages person profile #163896 and Getadoc), which confirm a real, current, HPCSA-registered practitioner. However, the CLINIC 'The Hair Lab' itself has almost no independent corroboration — no Google/Hellopeter/Trustpilot review body was located; coverage is its own site/Instagram plus one listicle (thehairfront.com) and aggregator listings (procompare). ADDRESS CORRECTION: candidate listed 'Century City', but the clinic's own Instagram and directory listings give 9 Draper Square, Claremont, Cape Town — city corrected accordingly. Recommend Tier 3 until an independent clinic-level review source is confirmed.
