Whether you’re based in Beeston, Wollaton, Mapperley or Sherwood, book a free consultation in clinic or by video call with our trichology team to receive a tailored treatment plan with a personalised quote to help restore your hair.
Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
For many patients, a hair transplant is the first lasting solution they’ve found, and it’s the only medical procedure that delivers permanent regrowth in balding or thinned areas. It works by moving healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, into the areas that need coverage. Once the transplanted follicles settle in, they keep growing for the rest of your life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Nottingham
Hair transplant pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most Nottingham patients land in the £3,500 to £4,500 range once their consultation and graft count estimate are in hand. What you pay reflects how many grafts are needed, which itself depends on the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the outcome you want. The factors below set out the main considerations

Factors Affecting Hair Transplant Costs
Number of Grafts Needed
Graft count is the single biggest factor in the cost. Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch might be 800 grafts. A full front hairline restoration can need 3,000+ grafts. More grafts mean a longer surgical day and a higher tier package.
Extent of Hair Loss
Your graft count is driven by where you sit on the Norwood scale, the standard clinical grading for male pattern baldness. Early recession at the temples requires far fewer grafts than a Norwood VI with widespread crown loss. Consultation includes a donor-area density assessment to confirm how many grafts can realistically be harvested. This is a check some clinics skip.
Hair Type and Texture
Whatever your hair type or texture, the surgical team has worked with it before. Coarser hair provides better hair transplant coverage per graft than fine hair, which means thick-haired patients can often hit the same visual density with a lower graft count. Afro-textured and curly hair needs surgeons with specific experience. Follicle shape and curl angle change how extraction is performed. We’ll walk through this at consultation.
Surgeon Expertise
Choosing the right surgeon is one of the more important calls you’ll make. Every one of the clinics’ surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally completed more than 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. These figures are per surgeon, not added up across the whole team. Natural-looking results come from surgeon skill, not machines. How the hairline is designed, the angle each follicle sits at, and how the donor area is preserved all matter more than equipment. That’s why the surgical team places each graft by hand rather than using automated systems.
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 is no shortage of hair transplant clinics in the UK. Here is what sets My Hair UK apart:
• Care held to regulated UK standards.GMC-registered surgeons, CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon is on the GMC register and is personally accountable for their own cases.
• Up-front, all-inclusive pricing. Your tier package covers the hair transplant consultation, the surgery itself and aftercare. No hidden costs, and no surgery-day surprises.
• You meet your surgeon before surgery.Unlike many Turkey clinics (and some UK providers), you’ll know at consultation who will perform your procedure, and you’ll see that same surgeon again on the day.
• Specialist experience with Afro-textured and women’s hair. Follicle shape and curl angle drive the extraction technique used. The surgical team has specific experience in Afro-Caribbean hair transplants and women’s hair transplants.
• Straightforward travel from Nottingham.Nottingham station to Manchester is around 2 hours direct to Manchester Piccadilly; London is around 1 hour 45 minutes via East Midlands Railway to London St Pancras. See the Travel section below for details.
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?
Pricing at My Hair UK covers everything from your first consultation to your final follow-up, with no surprise costs and no surgery-day add-ons. The tier package you sit in covers every stage of your treatment, with no consultation fee. Here’s what’s included:
• Initial consultation: a specialist assesses your hair loss, reviews your medical history, and builds a tailored treatment plan
• FUE hair transplant: the surgery itself, including local anaesthetic, how the donor area is preserved, and follicle placement
• Post-operative aftercare: detailed recovery instructions, follow-up appointments, and a direct line to the clinic if you have concerns during recovery
• Named GMC-registered surgeon:you’ll know who is performing your procedure before the day
The Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
• No linear scar. FUE leaves tiny individual marks in the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a visible line.
• Faster recovery. No stitches, no sutures to remove. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Individual follicle placement allows surgeons to replicate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this as reliably.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles.Because there’s no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without scar exposure.
For technical depth on the procedure, see our FUE technical explainer.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Nottingham Patients
The FUE hair transplant is performed under local anaesthetic. You’ll be awake, but you won’t feel the extraction or placement. Individual follicles are taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, and placed into areas where hair has thinned or receded.
The process:
1. Consultation: your hair loss is assessed in person, your goals are discussed, and a graft count and treatment plan are agreed. You’ll meet the surgeon who will perform your procedure.
2. Preparation: on surgery day, you’re settled in. The donor area is trimmed and local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure is comfortable, though you should expect a full day at the clinic.
3. Extraction and placement: follicles are extracted one at a time and placed into the recipient area at matching angles and densities. The number of grafts determines the surgical time, typically 5 to 8 hours.
4. Recovery: recovery is supported by detailed aftercare instructions before you leave. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week, with more physical work back on the table after 2 weeks. Full results develop over 9 to 12 months. See the Recovery and Results Timeline section below for detail.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What’s the price of a hair transplant in Nottingham?
My Hair UK’s tiered packages range from £2,499 to £4,899. A typical Nottingham case sits around £3,500 to £4,500 once graft count is confirmed at consultation. The package you need depends mainly on how many grafts are required. See the full hair transplant price guide for the package tiers.
2. Does a hair transplant hurt?
It shouldn’t hurt. FUE runs under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but you don’t feel the extraction or placement. Patients typically describe the day as long rather than painful.
3. 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 is visible by 6 months, and the full result comes through at 9 to 12 months.
4. How long before I can return to work or exercise?
You can usually go back to desk-based work inside a week. Keep away from exercise and the gym for 2 weeks. Contact sports need more time. Your post-op briefing gives you a specific timeline.
5. What graft count will I need?
Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch or temple recession might be 800-1,200 grafts. Restoring a full front hairline can need 3,000+ grafts. A specialist will confirm your graft count at consultation by grading your hair loss on the Norwood scale.
6. How long does the procedure take?
Surgery itself usually runs 5 to 8 hours, depending on graft count. Plan on being at the clinic for the full day — preparation, surgery and post-procedure briefing are all included.
7. Is the result permanent?
Yes. Follicles harvested from the donor area (the back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once placed, they grow for the rest of your life. Our guide on how long a hair transplant lasts covers it in more depth.
8. What’s the travel route from Nottingham to the clinic?
Nottingham station to Manchester is around 2 hours direct to Manchester Piccadilly; to London it’s around 1 hour 45 minutes via East Midlands Railway to London St Pancras. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
9. Is there an age requirement for 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’s a higher chance of needing further surgery later as more hair is lost over time. See our hair transplant age guide.
10. How does UK cost compare to Turkey?
Prices in the UK run slightly higher than in Turkey, but that gap has closed considerably in recent years. UK clinics also operate under tighter regulation, with surgeons on the GMC register and facilities CQC-registered, which gives patients additional protection. Our UK vs Turkey cost comparison page covers the full picture.
11. Can women have a hair transplant?
Yes, in the right cases. FUE works for hairline lowering, scar concealment and diffuse female thinning where the donor area is strong enough. Detail and case examples on our women’s hair transplant guide.
12. Is scarring visible after a hair transplant?
No linear scar. The small extraction marks heal and aren’t visible under short haircuts. It’s a key reason the clinics only run FUE and not FUT strip surgery.
