Alumni article Exceptional People Our Spotlight SHR ArticleFounder of Bangkok Hair Clinic | University of Birmingham Graduate
From the moment Dr. Jirayu Jetchayanon stepped into his first biology class at Shrewsbury, science sparked something deeper than just academic interest. It paved the way for a career built around transformation and purpose.
After graduating from Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside in 2012, Dr. Jirayu pursued medicine at the University of Birmingham, eventually returning to Thailand to establish Bangkok Hair Clinic, a leading practice in hair transplantation. But his journey wasn’t just about aesthetics, it was rooted in empathy.
“I went through the process myself when I was a student,” he shares. “It wasn’t ideal, and I didn’t want others to go through the same uncertainty.” What began as a personal experience turned into a mission to provide confidence, clarity, and care to others facing similar concerns.
In the early days of launching his clinic, there were no clients, no certainty, just determination. “I sat alone, filming content and editing everything myself. It took nearly two months before I had my first patient. But I never gave up.”
Dr. Jirayu’s work now touches lives around the world, with clients flying in from overseas to seek his care. His dedication to patient well-being, honesty, and education has redefined beauty standards not just in appearance, but in self-worth.
He credits his resilience to the advice of his father: “Graduate first, even if it’s not your dream school or dream country. Get your degree. Then go and build your own path.” That mindset has been the compass behind every brave decision he’s made since.
As Dr. Jirayu continues to grow his clinic and his impact, he hopes his story inspires others, especially students and young professionals to embrace the long road, pursue what matters, and above all, make their own way.
