Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is the only clinical procedure that delivers significant and lasting regrowth in areas where hair has been lost to male pattern baldness. It works by relocating healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, which are genetically resistant to thinning, into areas that need new coverage. Once those follicles take, they continue to grow for life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in London
Pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most London patients pay between £3,500 and £4,500 once their consultation and graft count have been worked out. What you pay depends on the number of grafts you need, which itself depends on the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the result you want. The factors below cover what we look at during your consultation:

Factors Affecting Hair Transplant Costs
Number of Grafts Needed
Graft count is the biggest single factor in the cost. Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, with most patients in the 1,500 to 3,000 range. A small temple area might be 800 grafts. A full front hairline restoration can need 3,000 or more. Very large areas of loss may need 2 procedures, spaced at least 6 months apart.
Extent of Hair Loss
Your Norwood scale stage (the clinical grading for male pattern baldness) determines the graft count you need. Early temple recession needs fewer grafts than a Norwood VI with significant crown loss. The consultation includes a donor area density check to confirm the realistic supply of grafts.
Hair Type and Texture
The team works with all hair types. Thicker hair gives better coverage per graft than fine hair, so a patient with thick hair may need fewer grafts for the same visual result. Curly and Afro-textured hair calls for surgeons with specific experience, because follicle shape and curl angle change the extraction technique. We'll discuss this in more detail at your consultation.
Surgeon Expertise
The choice of surgeon makes a real difference. Each of our surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally performed over 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. Natural results come from surgeon skill, not machines. Hairline design, the angle of each follicle, and care taken over the donor area all matter more than the equipment used. That is why the surgical team places every graft by hand.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your hair transplant consultation is free and there is no obligation to book. It takes around 45 minutes and gives you the information you need to decide in your own time. Here’s what happens:
Medical history
We take a brief medical history: current medications, previous surgeries, conditions that affect healing, and whether you’ve already spoken to your GP about hair loss.
Scalp assessment
A specialist examines your scalp under magnification, grades your hair loss on the Norwood scale (for men) or Ludwig scale (for women), and checks the density of your donor area.
Goal discussion & plan
We talk through what you want a transplant to achieve. You’ll get a graft count estimate and a tier price based on the clinical assessment. There are no surprise add-ons on surgery day.
Meet the surgeon
You can meet the GMC-registered surgeon who would perform your procedure. They answer technical questions directly.
No pressure to decide
You’ll leave with a tailored treatment plan, a personalised quote, and time to think it over. Most patients take a few weeks before booking.
Why Choose My Hair UK
There are plenty of hair transplant clinics in the UK. Here is what makes My Hair UK different:
Regulated UK medical care. GMC-registered surgeons working in CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon appears on the GMC register and is personally accountable for the work they do.
Clear, all-inclusive pricing. The price you pay covers your consultation, surgery and aftercare. No hidden costs and no surgery day add-ons.
You meet your surgeon before surgery. Unlike many Turkey clinics (and some UK providers), you will know who is performing your procedure at consultation, and you will see them again on the day.
Convenient location. The London clinic is in Harrow, a 5 minute walk from Kenton Underground station on the Bakerloo line, with paid parking nearby and easy road access from the M25 and the A40.
Recovery and Results Timeline
Recovery is mostly straightforward, with detailed aftercare guidance from the team to lean on at each stage. It’s faster than older hair transplant techniques, though the final result still takes time. A summary is below:
• First 24 hours after: Expect mild swelling and tightness.
• Week 1: The donor and recipient areas scab naturally. No scratching, no heavy lifting.
• Weeks 2–3: Transplanted hair sheds. This is normal. The follicle stays in place while the shaft falls out before it regrows.
• Month 3: New growth emerges from the transplanted follicles.
• Month 6: Visible thickening.
• Months 9–12: Full density and final result.
More detail on each phase, including washing routines, sleeping advice, exercise limits and medication, lives in our detailed recovery guide.
What's Included In The Price?
The all-inclusive price at My Hair UK covers everything from your first consultation through to the final follow-up, with no extras added on the day. There is no separate consultation fee and your tier package takes in every stage of treatment. Here is what your price covers:
Initial consultation: a specialist reviews your hair loss, takes your medical history and builds a treatment plan tailored to you
FUE hair transplant: the procedure itself, including local anaesthetic, careful handling of the donor area and individual follicle placement
Post-operative aftercare: all medication for the recovery period, detailed aftercare instructions in a dedicated patient portal, scheduled follow-ups and a direct line to the clinic for anything that comes up during recovery
Named GMC-registered surgeon: you will know in advance who is performing your procedure
The Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
No linear scar. FUE leaves tiny individual marks across the donor area that heal quickly, fade over time and stay invisible under normal-length hair.
Faster recovery. With no stitches or sutures to remove, most patients are back at desk-based work within a week, or 2 weeks for manual work.
Precision for hairlines. Placing follicles one at a time lets the surgeon recreate the natural single-hair density at the front of the hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this reliably.
Suitable for shorter hairstyles. With no linear scar to hide, FUE patients can wear their hair short without showing a scar.
More on how the procedure runs in our FUE hair transplant guide.
The Surgical Team
The surgical team is what makes the difference on the day. The clinics’ five surgeons are all GMC-registered, with a minimum of 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures each to their name.

The Hair Transplant Procedure at the London Clinic
The procedure runs about 4 to 8 hours depending on graft count.
Here is what to expect:
Arrival at the London clinic. You arrive at the Harrow clinic for around 9am. There is paperwork (consent forms, medical history sign-off), a final photograph of the donor and recipient areas, and a hairline drawing session with your surgeon. We will not start until you are happy with the drawn hairline.
Donor preparation. The back and sides donor area is shaved short to allow follicle extraction. Local anaesthetic is administered. Most patients describe this as a brief sting rather than pain.
Extraction. The surgical team harvests grafts individually from the donor area using a 0.7 to 1.0mm extraction tool sized for your hair thickness. Grafts are sorted and kept in a holding solution while extraction continues. This stage typically takes 2 to 3 hours.
Recipient site creation. The surgeon makes microincisions in the recipient area following the hairline design. Angle, direction and density at this stage determine how natural the result looks. It is the most important part of the procedure and sets the architecture for everything else.
Lunch break. A short break for food, drink, and time off your feet. You are not under sedation, so you can chat, scroll your phone, or watch something.
Placement. Grafts are placed into the recipient sites one at a time. This stage takes 2 to 3 hours. By the end of placement you will see the structural shape of the new hairline, though it will look scabby and red for the next 7 to 10 days.
Aftercare brief and discharge. You leave with full aftercare instructions and medication, a saline spray, a take-home pack, and aftercare contact details for any questions. Discharge is late afternoon. Most London patients take a taxi home or are picked up, as you cannot drive immediately after surgery.
Location and Travel to the London Clinic
For London residents our nearest surgical clinic is in Harrow West London. So if you live in Clapham, Shoreditch, Chelsea or Canary Wharf, then leave behind the scenic views of Tower Bridge and the The Shard and book a free consultation with our Trichology team either in-person or via video call to begin your hair restoration journey.
Some travel options are below, alternatively you could travel to our 2nd clinic located in Manchester should you prefer, directions are also listed for that.
Travel to the London Clinic
By Train
The closest station to the clinic is Kenton on the Bakerloo line, about 2 minutes from the door on foot. From central London the easiest route is the Bakerloo line northbound from Marylebone or Baker Street straight to Kenton. From further afield, take a mainline train to London Euston, walk to Euston Underground, then take the Bakerloo line going north (towards Harrow and Wealdstone) and get off at Kenton. The clinic is signposted from the station exit.
By Car
The Harrow clinic is easy to reach by car. Paid parking is available at the Premier Inn around 100 metres away, with on-street and side-road options also nearby. From the M25, exit at junction 5 onto the A40 eastbound, then follow signs for Harrow on the A4127 and A4090. From central London, head north-west on the A40 to Park Royal then follow signs for Wembley and Kenton.
Travel from London to Manchester Clinic
By Train
If you are in London and want to use our Manchester clinic, the fastest route is London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly with Avanti West Coast, around 2 hours 10 minutes direct. From Piccadilly, the clinic is about a 15 minute walk along Market Street and onto Deansgate, or 5 minutes by taxi. Manchester Victoria is closer to the clinic at a 5 minute walk, so if your route allows changing to a Victoria-bound service that may suit you better.
By Car
Driving to Manchester from London, leave the city on the M1 north and continue to junction 21A, then join the M6 northbound. Exit at junction 19 onto the A556, follow the A56 into central Manchester then signs for Deansgate. Several multi-storey car parks sit a couple of minutes from the clinic, including Manchester Deansgate Car Park and Selfridges Exchange. Allow around 4 to 4.5 hours depending on traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the average cost of a hair transplant in London?
At the London clinic most patients pay between £3,500 and £4,500, with the exact figure based on graft count and case complexity. My Hair UK packages start at £2,499 and run up to £4,899 for a single procedure.
2. Does the number of grafts affect the cost of the procedure?
Yes. Graft count is one of the main factors that drive the total. Higher graft counts take longer to perform and need more time from the surgical team, so they fall in a higher cost package.
3. Is a consultation necessary to determine the cost of my hair transplant?
Yes. We can only give you an accurate price after a specialist has assessed your hair loss in person or by video call. The consultation looks at your hair pattern, donor area density and your goals, then produces a personalised treatment plan with full pricing.
4. What is included in the cost of a hair transplant at My Hair UK?
The price you are quoted covers the consultation, the procedure, and the full aftercare programme. We give you a clear written breakdown before you commit.
5. Is your only clinic in London?
No. Alongside our London clinic in Harrow, we also operate a state of the art clinic in the north of England. The Manchester hair transplant clinic is on Deansgate in the city centre and offers the same services at the same prices for patients living closer to the north.
6. How painful is a hair transplant?
Not during surgery. FUE is done under local anaesthetic, so although you stay awake, you do not feel the extraction or placement. Most patients describe it as a long but comfortable day.
7. How soon will I see results?
The transplanted hair sheds at week 2 to 3. This is normal and expected. New growth starts around month 3, thickening becomes visible by month 6, and the full result comes through at 9 to 12 months.
8. How soon can I return to work and exercise?
Most patients return to desk-based work within a week. Exercise and gym work should be avoided for 2 weeks. Contact sports should be avoided for longer. We will give you a specific timeline during your post-op brief.
9. What graft count will I need?
Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, with most patients needing 1,500 to 3,000. A minor restoration of the temples or a small crown patch may be 1,000 to 1,500. A full front hairline restoration can need 3,000 or more. A specialist will confirm your graft count at consultation by grading your hair loss on the Norwood scale.
10. How many hours does a hair transplant take?
The procedure typically takes 5 to 8 hours, depending on graft count. Plan for a full day at the clinic, including preparation, surgery, and the post-procedure briefing.
11. How do FUE and FUT compare?
FUE takes follicles individually. There is no linear scar, recovery is faster, and shorter hairstyles are fine afterwards. FUT removes a strip of scalp from the donor area and leaves a linear scar. Both clinics only offer FUE because the recovery and the look are better for most patients.
12. Is an unshaven hair transplant possible?
Yes, for smaller cases. An unshaven or partially shaven FUE works when the donor area can be reached without fully shaving the head. It adds time and is not right for every case. The surgeon decides at consultation. More detail is in our hair transplant without shaving guide.
13. What age can I have a hair transplant?
The legal minimum age for a hair transplant in the UK is 18. Even so, patients in their late teens or early to mid 20s should be assessed carefully. Hair loss may still be progressing in that age range, and there is a higher chance of needing further surgery later as more hair is lost over time. See our age guide for hair transplants.
14. How do I prepare for the consultation?
Little preparation is needed. Bring a list of your current medications, note any conditions that affect healing, and speak to your GP in advance about your hair loss where possible. Come with questions. There is no pressure to book on the day.
