Hair transplants growing in popularity

Rising incomes, changing attitudes and stronger advertising from industry players fueling market boom in China

It's 9 pm on a weekday, and Zhang Yanhua, a hair transplant surgeon with Cloud Hair BeauCare Clinic in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, is still busy at work.

The clinic, which specializes in hair-related cosmetic surgery and is a branch of Beijing-headquartered chain of plastic surgery clinics Beau-Care Clinics, has been in full swing since the Spring Festival. Zhang, who is operational president of the facility, often works late.
