A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Birmingham patients the price is a fixed £2,899, 5☆ rated and all-inclusive with no hidden extras, delivered in a single day by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. A few photographs and a free video consultation are enough for a clear plan and an honest answer on suitability.
Beard Transplant Surgery in Birmingham with My Hair UK
A patchy or incomplete beard is one of the few cosmetic problems with a genuinely permanent fix. A beard transplant moves follicular units, one at a time, from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp into the areas of your beard that need them. Donor hair is not affected by balding, so once the transplanted hairs grow in they are yours for good: shaved, trimmed and styled like the rest. The surgery is explained fully on our beard restoration and transplant page.
For Birmingham patients the practical shape of it is one free consultation, by video from home or in-person at the clinic, then a single day of surgery, because even full beard construction fits within one session. Everything is settled beforehand: the design, the graft plan and the fixed £2,899 price, all agreed with the surgeon before the day itself.
Whether you are a good candidate depends on your growth pattern and what you want to achieve. Patchy cheeks, thin sideburns and gaps around the chin respond well. If your patchiness appeared suddenly as smooth round spots, that can be alopecia barbae, which needs a diagnosis rather than a transplant, and the surgeon will tell you so plainly at consultation.
Beard Transplant Cost in Birmingham
£2,899 is the complete price of a beard transplant for Birmingham patients: one fixed, all-inclusive fee agreed in writing before surgery, whatever the number of grafts placed on the day. UK beard work is widely quoted anywhere from £3,000 to £7,000 depending on graft count, so a fixed fee at this level is deliberately competitive, and it means a bigger plan never carries a penalty.
The fee covers everything attached to the day itself: the surgeon and surgical team, anaesthetic, clinic facilities, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. What the price includes and how it compares is set out in full on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Birmingham?
The table below shows the typical graft counts for each beard area, and the price Birmingham patients pay in every case:
| Area | Typical Grafts | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Moustache | 400-500 | £2,899 |
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side | £2,899 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 | £2,899 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side | £2,899 |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 | £2,899 |
How a Beard Transplant Works
The procedure runs in a single day under local anaesthetic. You are awake throughout, and most patients find the numbing injections the only uncomfortable part. Grafts are extracted individually from the donor area of the scalp, then placed one at a time at the flat angle beard hair naturally grows, following a design agreed with you before surgery starts.
The design stage matters more in beard work than anywhere else, because every line is on show. Before anything is placed, the surgeon draws the cheek line, jawline, neckline and moustache join directly onto your face and agrees it with you. Single-hair grafts go along the outlines, where the eye is most sensitive, so the edges look grown rather than drawn. You go home the same day.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
Typical graft counts by area, matching both the published literature and what the surgeons see in practice:
| Area | Typical Grafts |
|---|---|
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side |
| Moustache | 400-500 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 |
Healing, Shaving and Results
Recovery is quicker than most patients expect. For the first few days the treated area shows a small scab at each graft with some redness, and the scabs lift over the first two weeks. The patient photographs in this section show it honestly: fine dotted scabbing the day after surgery, then the same beard at two weeks with the scabs cleared and only slight redness remaining. Do not shave the transplanted area for the first two weeks; after that it can be trimmed, and normal shaving usually resumes from around a month once the grafts are secure.
Between roughly week two and week eight the transplanted hairs shed. This is normal and it is not the grafts failing: the follicles stay in place, new growth starts at around three months, and the beard reaches its final density between nine and twelve months. We keep in touch through the regrowth period with regular monthly check-ins, and you have free follow-up consultations with your surgeon at 6 and 12 months, by video or in-person.

Travelling From Birmingham
Birmingham New Street is an hour and a half from both clinics, so the choice is genuinely yours: CrossCountry runs direct to Manchester Piccadilly in around 1 hour 30 minutes and Avanti reaches London Euston in about the same. Most Birmingham patients pick Manchester for the shorter walk at the far end. Both clinics are CQC-registered and the surgery is completed in a single visit.
Whether home is Kings Heath, Selly Oak, Acocks Green or Sutton Coldfield, in the city of a thousand trades, fresh from the Library of Birmingham on Centenary Square, the Pre-Raphaelites at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery or a day out at Cadbury World in Bournville, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Birmingham patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.

CrossCountry and Avanti West Coast run direct from Birmingham New Street to Manchester Piccadilly several times an hour, most in around 1 hour 30 minutes by way of Wolverhampton, Stafford and Stoke. Meet under Ozzy the Bull in Grand Central if you are travelling with someone, and remember New Street is not Moor Street or Snow Hill. Piccadilly to the top of Deansgate is a mile on foot, fifteen to twenty minutes past Piccadilly Gardens and the Arndale, or a short tram ride to Victoria and a five-minute walk.
By Car
Driving from Birmingham takes around 1 hour 45 minutes: the A38(M) Aston Expressway out of the centre to Spaghetti Junction, which is Junction 6 of the M6, then the M6 north past Stafford to Junction 19 for the A556 and the M56, before the M60 and the M602 bring you into Salford with Regent Road leading to Deansgate.
From Birmingham to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic

Avanti West Coast runs from New Street to London Euston every twenty minutes or so, the fastest non-stop trains in around 1 hour 20 minutes. Euston has its own Overground platforms, and the Lioness line from there reaches Kenton in around 25 minutes; the Harrow clinic is a few minutes’ walk from Kenton station.
By Car
By car from Birmingham allow around 2 hours 30 minutes: the M42 round the south-east of the city to the M40, the M40 through Warwick and Oxfordshire to the Denham interchange, Junction 16 of the M25 and 1A of the M40, then the A40 towards Harrow and the A409 to Kenton Lane, the end of the drive from Birmingham.
Local GPs

2. Where would I go for my surgery from Birmingham?
Surgery takes place at CQC-registered partner clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, and for most Birmingham patients Manchester is the practical choice.

Roughly two weeks of visible scabbing and redness, a shedding phase between weeks two and eight, new growth from month three, and final density between nine and twelve months. Most patients are back at work within days.
4. Who is a good candidate for a beard transplant?
Men whose beard pattern has settled and who have a healthy scalp donor area. Genetic patchiness is the classic case. Suitability is confirmed at the free consultation, and if the surgical team does not think a transplant would serve you well, they will say so.
5. What does the price include?
Everything attached to the procedure: the surgeon and surgical team, local anaesthetic, clinic facilities, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. There are no extras added on the day.
