Love Is Blind star, 29, reveals hair transplant… and the shocking five-figure sum he paid for the procedure
The 29-year-old reality television star recently appeared on social media to share details about the cosmetic procedure.
In a TikTok video shared earlier this month, he noted, 'I decided to stay in the states for my procedure, which typically is a little bit more expensive to do, but there's a lot of things that come with that, and I'll explain that as well.'
Engaging his nearly 90,000 followers, he revealed the eye-watering price he paid to revive his hair.
'I went to Solve Clinics in River North, Chicago. They charge roughly $5 a graft. I had a little over 2,000 grafts, I think 2,100 or 2,200. So roughly 10, 11 grand for the procedure,' the Netflix star shared.
Jimmy also told his followers that follow-up costs and additional procedures are optional, but he chose to get them.
Explaining platelet-rich plasma costs, he stated in the video, 'I have been doing PRP, which I've made some videos on that and what that kind of entails, and those typically run anywhere from 400 to $600.'
While many people travel to Turkey to take advantage of the thriving hair transplant industry there, Jimmy opted to stay stateside.
'For me, when I was going through the evaluation process, I was getting quotes anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000.
'It included flight, it included hotel, all that good stuff, but there was no ongoing consultation or talking to your surgeon. So they just pretty much send you home after the surgery. You don't really have any type of relationship,' he explained.
Last December Jimmy used his online platform to document the surgery process, including his day by day recovery.
'It's swollen bad. It hurts to smile, it hurts to laugh. My head definitely feels super dry,' he shared three days post-operation.
And about his objective, Jimmy said, 'I didn't want to try to have a hairline of a 17 or 18-year-old. It's not realistic. I wanted to look my age and have thicker, healthier-looking hair. That's the goal here.'
'I decided to stay in the states for my procedure, which typically is a little bit more expensive to do, but there's a lot of things that come with that, and I'll explain that as well,' he explained in a recent TikTok
In June he took to Instagram to share a six-month post-operation update with his 274,000 followers.
He captioned the video, 'Officially 6 months post hair transplant with @solveclinics, super excited where I'm at already! Even more excited to see where it'll go!'
Leaning into the camera to reveal his renewed hairline, he said that he saw 'a ton of growth' in months four, five, and six.
Satisfied with his results, he said his hair is 'getting thicker and thicker as the days go on.'
Jimmy rose to fame when he appeared on Love Is Blind in early 2024.
At the time, his former fiancée Chelsea Blackwell went viral for claiming to look like Megan Fox.

Porn sets, wild dogs and knitting: 30 years of Yancey Richardson gallery
Mitch Epstein has spent five decades photographing American life with wry empathy and formal precision. A pioneer of colour photography in the 1970s, he captured the rituals, diversions and contradictions of a pre-digital America, and documented American leisure with saturated colour and cinematic complexity. Yancey Richardson: Celebrating 30 Years is at Yancey Richardson, New York until 15 August Photograph: Mitch Epstein Carolyn Drake's practice challenges traditional boundaries between author and subject, and blends photography with embroidery, collage and sculpture. This image comes from Knit Club, a project with a group of women in Mississippi that explores identity and community. The series was shortlisted for the Paris Photo Aperture and Lucie Photo Book awards. See more here Photograph: Carolyn Drake Zanele Muholi is a visual activist and photographer who documents and celebrates the lives of Black LGBTQ+ communities in South Africa. Since 2006, Muholi has been engaged in Faces and Phases, a project portraying Black lesbian and transgender individuals with dignity and resilience. Their mission is to rewrite South Africa's queer visual history, affirming presence and resistance amid widespread hate. See more here Photograph: Zanele Muholi Jared Bark is best known for his performances in photo booths between 1969 and 1976. He initially used public booths, but ultimately acquired a secondhand one of his own, complicating the notion of a photo booth as a site of both public and private performance Photograph: Jared Bark Larry Sultan grew up in California's San Fernando Valley, which was a source of inspiration for a number of his projects. His series The Valley (2004) addresses the use of ordinary homes as sets for pornographic films, and asks why the ideal of middle-class domesticity lends itself to this most curious form of cultural appropriation Photograph: Larry Sultan Lynn Saville photographs cities between twilight and dawn, capturing transitional, often deserted urban spaces. Her images focus on fundamental city elements – bridges, billboards, walls – existing independently of urban life. In her New York night photographs, the city appears suspended in time, revealing the shift from day to night and the transformation of industrial areas into residential neighbourhoods Photograph: Lynn Saville Spanning more than 40 years, John Divola's work has consistently questioned the limits of photography. His series Dogs Chasing My Car in the Desert (1996–98) comprises portraits of dogs that he photographed in motion with a motorised 35mm camera. The grainy black-and-white images evoke the spirit of Eadweard Muybridge's stop-motion studies, and explore the herding relationship between man and animal with a slightly comic approach Photograph: John Divola Matt Lipps creates complex photographic works by physically assembling cutout images from magazines and books into three-dimensional tableaux, which he then re-photographs and enlarges. In the 2019 series Where Figure Becomes Ground, he overlays iconic 1990s fashion images of supermodels such as Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford on to archival documentary photos from US Camera Annual (1938–69). The silhouettes of these figures serve as windows revealing historical moments from the second world war, and highlight photography's constructed nature and shared visual language across disparate genres Photograph: Matt Lipps David Hilliard's large-scale, multi-panelled photographs transform intimate, personal moments into richly layered narratives that explore masculinity, aging, sexuality and spirituality. Andreu (Bathroom Mirror) captures a quiet moment of vulnerability and contemplation, using multiple perspectives to blur the lines between autobiography and fiction. His work balances formal storytelling with deeply personal insight, elevating the everyday to something both familiar and elusive Photograph: David Hilliard Tania Franco Klein creates staged, cinematic photographs that explore the psychological tensions of life in the digital age. In her series Positive Disintegration (2016–2019), she uses self-portraits to depict the emotional toll of relentless productivity and self-optimisation, inspired by Byung-Chul Han's The Burnout Society. Her work offers a surreal collage of experiences reflecting the fragmented nature of contemporary life. She lives and works in Mexico City.

Growing up on the prairie instilled in her a deep connection to the Great Plains, which she has documented since the 1970s. Her work challenges common perceptions of the prairie, revealing its rich ecological diversity and complex cultural history. Her Inhabited Prairie series (1990–94) features black-and-white aerial images showing how farming, industry and military activity have transformed the Kansas landscape Photograph: Terry Evans Mark Steinmetz is known for his intimate black-and-white images of youth and suburban life in the American south. Since the mid-1980s, he has used chance encounters to create portraits of solitary figures and everyday scenes that feel quietly introspective. Steinmetz's work reveals the subtle complexities of growing up and the shifting landscapes of small-town America. You can see more here Photograph: Mark Steinmetz Italian artist Olivo Barbieri is known for disorienting aerial photographs that blur the line between reality and representation. In Alps - Geographies and People, he uses a technique he calls 'solid colour' to partially erase the mountain landscape, drawing attention to its elemental form. Shot from a helicopter, the image captures climbers mid traverse, transforming the Alps into both stage and hallucination Photograph: Olivo Barbieri After she shifted from photographing people to still lifes, Laura Letinsky's carefully crafted scenes often focus on remnants of meals. In her 2013 series Albeit, she uses flatbed scanners and magazine cutouts to dissolve hierarchies of high and low imagery, embracing the scanner's restrictions to explore form. The layered compositions featuring fruit, cakes, goblets and cutlery suggest meals consumed, while reflecting on how photographs instruct how we build our lives Photograph: Laura Letinsky Ori Gersht explores the tension between beauty and violence. In Becoming, postcards of still-life paintings from the Rijksmuseum, the Getty and the Met are printed on glass and then shattered, capturing the instant of collapse. The resulting image visualises a return to disorder and the fragility of collective memory Photograph: Ori Gersht Sharon Core creates meticulously crafted photographs that blur the line between reality and illusion. By recreating historic still lifes and iconic artworks – often growing her own fruits and flowers or sourcing antique objects – Core explores authenticity, artifice and photography's relationship to painting. Her series Early American (2007–10) reimagines 19th-century still lifes inspired by Raphaelle Peale, using carefully cultivated produce and period glassware to evoke a time before photography Photograph: Sharon Core/ courtesy Yancey Richardson

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway film Devil Wears Prada sequel just blocks away from NYC mass shooting that killed four
Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway filmed the Devil Wears Prada sequel in New York City on Monday, just blocks away and hours before a mass shooting at a neighboring Midtown Manhattan office building. The duo, along with co-star Stanley Tucci, filmed scenes at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, an approximately 15 minute walk from the scene of the tragedy, and at least three hours before the shooting occurred. Four people - including an officer - were killed after a gunman opened fire inside the skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue at around 6.30pm on Monday. The gunman was identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Tamura had a silencer on his rifle when he opened fire inside the lobby at around 6.30pm, with about 30 people inside, according to CNN. The firearm also had a scope and strap. The gunman was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor of the building, where Blackstone has its headquarters. In an update on X, Commissioner Tisch said the 'lone shooter has been neutralized' and the scene is 'contained.'

Mariah Carey: I don't age
Mariah Carey has claimed that she doesn't age. The 56-year-old singer-songwriter said she 'doesn't acknowledge' the passing of time as she gets older. Carey claimed that ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her because of her mindset. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar magazine about feeling the impact of getting older, the All I Want for Christmas is You singer said: 'I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. 'I do not acknowledge time – I have a new song that starts with that line.' The Queen of Christmas, who is set to release her 16th studio album in September, has maintained much of her youthful glow since her breakthrough in 1990. She has previously said she doesn't count years and celebrates anniversaries, but 'not birthdays'. There were rumours she only bathed in French mineral water to better preserve her skin. However, in 2018, she shut down that talk by revealing an even stranger skincare trick. 'I bathe in milk,' she said at the time. 'Yes, sometimes I use milk as a beauty treatment. I don't want to give away all my secrets... Cold milk.' Elsewhere, Carey – who embraces the label of 'diva' – spoke about looking back at her life while writing her 'challenging but therapeutic' memoir. 'I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive,' she said. 'It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it, I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me and I went through that.' The singer also spoke about her mother's influence on her career, adding: 'We didn't always have the world's greatest relationship, but certain things she said or did resonated with me as a kid. 'She once told me, 'Don't say if I make it, say when I make it'. That just stuck with me, and I never gave up.' Since her career began in the late 1980s, Carey has had three UK number one singles and two UK number one albums.
