Family run in Arlington Heights, Illinois since 1985
You're at the Heart of What We Do
Since 1985, Hair Response has supported people navigating hair loss from chemotherapy, radiation, alopecia, thinning hair, hormonal changes, trichotillomania, and autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other types of medically related hair loss.
We know this journey is deeply personal. Hair loss affects more than appearance — it affects how you feel about yourself, and how you move through the world. Our experienced team provides private, one-on-one consultations in NW Suburban Arlington Heights, Illinois, helping each client find a custom hair loss solution that fits their life, their look, and their needs.
There is no pressure here. No rush. Just compassionate care from people who have been specialized in doing this for over 40 years.
“Our goal is to help you feel as much like yourself as possible. So when you walk out our doors, you feel confident not just in how you look, but in how you feel.”— Amy Salzstein, Owner & Lead Specialist

-
What's the difference between a wig shop and Hair Response?
A retail wig shop sells you something off a shelf. We work exclusively with clients navigating hair loss, and every solution we provide is custom measured, fitted, cut and styled for that specific person. We also teach you how to wear, style and care for your piece, and we're here for ongoing service long after your first appointment.
-
What should I expect during my consultation?
You'll meet privately with a specialist who will listen to your story, look at your hair loss pattern, and talk through the options that suit your lifestyle, styling ability and coverage needs. There's no pressure and no obligation — many people come in simply to learn what's possible.
-
How much does a wig cost at Hair Response?
Cost depends on the type of piece, the cap construction, and whether it's human hair or synthetic, so we review options across a range of price points during your consultation. If your hair loss is medically related, your piece may be prescribed as a cranial prosthesis, and some insurance plans recognize it for coverage — we're glad to help you look into that.
-
What if I'm nervous about coming in?
That's completely normal, and you are far from alone. Hundreds of clients have walked through our door feeling uncertain and left feeling like themselves again. There's no pressure here and no rush — just compassionate care from people who have specialized in this for over 40 years.
