Transparent Pricing for Hair Restoration
One of the most common questions we hear at Crown Hair Institute is about cost. We believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing, because an informed patient is a confident patient. This guide breaks down exactly what hair transplant procedures cost in Beverly Hills in 2026, what factors influence the total price, and how financing options can make restoration accessible to more people.
Per-Graft Pricing at Crown Hair Institute
Our pricing is straightforward and based on a per-graft model, which means you only pay for the number of grafts you actually need:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): $6.25 per graft
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): $4.00 per graft
These prices are all-inclusive, covering your initial consultation, the surgical procedure, local anesthesia, all post-operative medications, and follow-up visits for the first year after your procedure.
Typical Graft Counts by Norwood Stage
The number of grafts you need depends on the extent of your hair loss, measured using the Norwood scale for men or the Ludwig scale for women:
- Norwood 2 (early recession): 800 to 1,200 grafts — FUE cost: $5,000 to $7,500 | FUT cost: $3,200 to $4,800
- Norwood 3 (moderate recession): 1,200 to 1,800 grafts — FUE cost: $7,500 to $11,250 | FUT cost: $4,800 to $7,200
- Norwood 4 (significant thinning): 1,800 to 2,500 grafts — FUE cost: $11,250 to $15,625 | FUT cost: $7,200 to $10,000
- Norwood 5 (advanced loss): 2,500 to 3,500 grafts — FUE cost: $15,625 to $21,875 | FUT cost: $10,000 to $14,000
- Norwood 6-7 (extensive loss): 3,500 to 4,500+ grafts — FUE cost: $21,875 to $28,125+ | FUT cost: $14,000 to $18,000+
These are estimates. Your exact graft count will be determined during your free discovery call based on your specific hair loss pattern, donor density, and desired density.
What Influences the Cost
Several factors can affect the total cost of your procedure beyond the basic per-graft pricing:
- Technique chosen: FUE costs more per graft than FUT due to the additional time and precision required for individual extraction.
- Total graft count: More extensive hair loss requires more grafts, increasing the total cost.
- Hair characteristics: Patients with curly or textured hair may require additional surgical time due to the complexity of extraction.
- Combination procedures: Some patients benefit from combining FUE and FUT in the same or separate sessions for maximum coverage.
- Supplementary treatments: Adding PRP therapy or exosome treatments to enhance graft survival and stimulate dormant follicles.
Financing Options
We believe cost should not be a barrier to feeling confident about your appearance. Crown Hair Institute partners with Cherry Financing to offer flexible payment plans designed for medical procedures:
- Cherry Financing: Plans starting at 0% APR for qualified applicants, with terms from 6 to 60 months. Monthly payments as low as $199.
- No hard credit check for pre-qualification: You can check your rate in 60 seconds without impacting your credit score.
Cherry offers a simple online application with approval decisions in minutes. Many patients pre-qualify at home before their consultation so they know exactly what their monthly investment will look like.
Why Beverly Hills vs. Overseas
Many patients consider traveling to Turkey or other international destinations for lower-cost hair transplants. While the sticker price may be lower, there are significant risks and hidden costs to consider:
- No regulatory oversight: Many overseas clinics operate with minimal government regulation. Complications are more common, and legal recourse is limited.
- Technician-performed surgeries: In many clinics abroad, the actual procedure is performed by technicians rather than expert surgeons. At Crown Hair Institute, your surgery is performed personally by Dr. Drummond.
- Travel and accommodation costs: Flights, hotels, and time off work add up quickly and can narrow the price gap significantly.
- Revision costs: If results are suboptimal, correction procedures in the United States can cost more than having it done right the first time.
- No continuity of care: Follow-up appointments and post-operative care are essential for optimal results. Managing complications remotely is difficult and risky.
