A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Hastings 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 Transplants for Hastings Patients with My Hair UK
A beard transplant is an FUE hair transplant applied to the face. Follicular units are taken one at a time from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp, where hair is permanent, and placed into the cheeks, jawline, moustache or chin. Once healed they grow as beard hair: you shave it, trim it and style it like the rest. The full procedure is covered on our beard transplant page.
Most of the Hastings patients we hear from want thickening work rather than a beard built from nothing. Patchy cheeks, a gap between the moustache and the chin, thin sideburns or an uneven jawline are the typical cases. Patchiness is usually genetic, so it does not respond to waiting, and a transplant is the only treatment that adds permanent hair where there is none.
Your consultation happens either by video from home, or in-person with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure if you'd prefer to travel to the clinic (directions below). It is free, and you get an honest answer on whether a transplant is worth it in your case, including when it is not, along with your graft plan and the fixed price confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Beard Transplant Cost in Hastings
A beard transplant costs £2,899 for Hastings patients. That is a single fixed price whatever the number of grafts, agreed before surgery, and it does not move on the day. It covers the surgeon's time, the anaesthetic, all clinic fees, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. There is nothing to add and nothing to negotiate.
Most UK clinics price beard work per graft, which means the bill depends on a number you cannot check yourself. A fixed fee removes that conversation entirely: whether your plan needs 600 grafts around the chin or 2,500 for full construction, the price is the same £2,899. The full breakdown is on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Hastings?
The table below shows the typical graft counts for each beard area, and the price Hastings 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 the Surgery 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 |
Beard Transplant Recovery Timeline
The healing pattern is predictable. Fine dotted scabbing for the first week or two, mild redness that fades over the following weeks, and a shedding phase between weeks two and eight when the transplanted hairs fall out while the follicles stay put. The two patient photographs here show the difference a fortnight makes: small scabs at each graft the day after surgery, then clear skin with mild redness once they have dropped off at two weeks. New growth begins around month three and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
The shaving rules are simple: nothing for two weeks, trimming after that, and a normal wet shave from around a month once the grafts are secure. Aftercare products are included in the price, and we have regular monthly check-ins with you to ensure your growth is progressing and offer free 6 & 12 month follow up consultations with your surgeon either by video or in-person.

Travelling From Hastings
Hastings to London Charing Cross is around 1 hour 35 minutes on Southeastern through the narrow Tonbridge tunnels, and Charing Cross sits on the Bakerloo line, so the Harrow clinic is one train and one Underground ride from 1066 Country; the Marshlink line to Ashford and the Javelin is the quicker alternative. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Hastings patients who prefer the north are welcome there.
Whether home is Ore, Bohemia, Clive Vale or West St Leonards, in the town with Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet, fresh from the galleries of Hastings Contemporary on Rock-a-Nore Road, a ride up the East Hill Cliff Railway or a walk through Hastings Country Park, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Hastings patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.

Southeastern runs direct from Hastings to London Charing Cross twice an hour, around 1 hour 35 minutes via Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks on the line that needed slim Hastings-gauge trains until 1986. Charing Cross is on the Bakerloo line, so it is one Underground train north to Kenton and a five-minute walk to the Harrow clinic. Marshlink to Ashford and the Javelin into St Pancras is about the same overall.
By Car
Driving from Hastings takes around two hours. The A21 from the Baldslow interchange north through the single-carriageway stretch at Flimwell to Tonbridge and the M25 at Junction 5, then clockwise round the south and west of London through the Surrey stretch to Junction 16, where the A40 and the A409 lead into Harrow and Kenton Lane.

Deansgate is five minutes from Piccadilly on foot, down Mosley Street and past the town hall, and that is the whole journey from Hastings done.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much is a beard transplant for someone in Hastings?
£2,899, one fixed all-inclusive fee regardless of graft count. Whether your plan needs 600 grafts or 2,500, the price is the same, and it is confirmed before surgery so nothing changes on the day.
2. Do I need to travel from Hastings for a beard transplant?
Yes, once. Surgery is a single day at a CQC-registered partner clinic in central Manchester or Harrow, north-west London, whichever suits you better. The consultation is free, by video from home or in-person at the clinic if you prefer, and follow-up runs by video unless you would rather come in, so the only required travel is the day of surgery itself.
3. How long does a beard transplant take to heal?
Scabbing clears in around two weeks, leaving slight redness that fades. The transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, regrowth begins at around three months, and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
4. Why is the price fixed rather than per graft?
Because graft count is a clinical decision, and we do not think it should also be a billing lever. With per-graft pricing a bigger plan means a bigger bill. With a fixed £2,899 the surgeon plans your beard purely around the best result.
5. Should I go to Turkey instead for a beard transplant?
Turkey is cheaper, and for some people that decides it. What you give up is straightforward: UK regulation, a surgeon you can be called back to see, and aftercare that does not involve an airport. At £2,899 fixed, the gap is also far smaller for beard work than most patients assume.
6. Does the donor area show after a beard transplant?
Beard work uses comparatively modest graft numbers, so the donor area at the back of the scalp recovers quickly, and the tiny FUE dot marks are covered by surrounding hair at normal lengths. The redness there settles within a couple of weeks.
7. Will new grafts blend with my existing beard hair?
They will, provided the angles are right, which is a placement skill. Grafts are set flat to the skin in the direction your existing beard grows, and since the donor hair is your own it matches in colour and texture and greys along with the rest.
