‘Mr Tinder’ Says Hair Transplant Ended 14-Year Secret of Hair Loss

The London model known as Tinder’s most right-swiped man describes years of cosmetic concealment to protect his career.

Overview

  • He says he underwent a hair transplant at the British Hair Clinic in early 2026 for about £5,000 and is in recovery with a major boost to his confidence.
  • Tomlin reports hiding a receding hairline for 14 years using wigs, hair fibres and caps, spending roughly £3,000 a year on wigs and maintenance.
  • He describes tactics to keep the secret from dates and producers, including wearing durags to bed, avoiding getting fibres wet and waking early to fix his hairline.
  • Dubbed “Mr Tinder” in 2017 with a reported 14,600 right-swipes, he says he spent over three hours a day on the app, went on more than 50 dates and received over 48,000 likes.
  • He says he told partner Vicki Batsford about six months into their relationship and that she accepted him, as he looks to return to runway and TV work with renewed confidence.
