Move over couture hair accessories — Love Is Blind alum Jimmy Presnell is redefining the phrase “hair goals” with a five‑figure investment in confidence.
The 29-year-old, best known for his whirlwind love story (and eventual breakup) with flight attendant Chelsea Blackwell, is now making headlines for something far more permanent: his new hairline. Yes, Jimmy recently revealed the full cost of his December 2024 hair transplant, and let’s just say it’s not for the faint of wallet.
“I wanted to look my age and have thicker, healthier-looking hair,” Jimmy explained on TikTok, where he’s been chronicling every follicle of his hair restoration journey. “I didn’t want the hairline of a 17 or 18-year-old; it’s not realistic.” And honestly, kudos to him for embracing a natural aesthetic instead of chasing teenage scalp real estate.
Jimmy opted to stay stateside for the procedure, choosing Solve Clinics in Chicago, a med spa that charges around $5 per graft. With just over 2,000 grafts (about 2,100 to 2,200), that brought his grand total to approximately $10,000 to $11,000.
That’s more than most of us spend on hair care in a decade.
But Jimmy had his reasons. “I wanted to maintain a relationship with my surgeon,” he said. “When you go out of the country, they pretty much send you home after the surgery. There’s no follow-up, no check-ins.” Fair point because when you’re spending five figures on your hairline, you probably want a few friendly texts and a follow-up Zoom or two.
Of course, the hair transplant wasn’t a one-and-done situation. Jimmy’s also been getting PRP injections (platelet-rich plasma, for the uninitiated), which cost an additional $400 to $600 per session. “I get them every eight weeks,” he shared, explaining that they help with healing and stimulate hair growth. So, add a few more grand to that hairline tab.
At the seven-month mark, Jimmy gave followers a peek at the progress and it’s impressive.
His hair looks visibly fuller, the density is improving, and most importantly, he seems genuinely happy with the outcome. “I’m super pleased with the turnout so far,” he said. “Wouldn’t change a thing.”
Let’s be real, $11K for a thicker hairline may seem steep, but in the world of celebrity cosmetic tweaks, it’s practically modest. And while some might splurge on sports cars or designer wardrobes after a reality TV stint, Jimmy’s going all-in on confidence; one graft at a time.
For those considering a similar path, here’s a quick breakdown of Jimmy’s hair investment:
- Clinic: Solve Clinics, Chicago
- Cost per graft:~$5
- Total grafts:~2,100–2,200
- Total procedure cost:$10,000–$11,000
- PRP injections: $400–$600 per session, every 8 weeks
- Recovery timeline: Ongoing, but major results around 12–18 months
So, is Jimmy’s hair glow-up worth the hype and the cost? The internet certainly thinks so. And if nothing else, he’s proving that self-care doesn’t stop when the cameras do.
