Beard Transplants

Not content with simply investing in lens-free thick glasses and t shirts with 80s pop culture on – these wannabe hipsters are undergoing surgery to get the Mumford & Sons look.

A New York surgeon has revealed that he is performing beard transplants nearly every day, costing up to $7,000 a pop. The procedure involves healthy hair follicles from the top of the head, capable of producing thick hair, being surgical inserted on the jaw line.

Dr Jeffrey Epstein revealed: “Whether you are talking about the Brooklyn hipster of the advertising executive, the look is definitely to have a bit of facial hair.”
