Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about consultations, pricing, insurance and what to expect on your first visit.
-
Where is Hair Response located?
We're at 3295 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Suite 111, Arlington Heights, IL 60004, in Chicago's northwest suburbs.

-
Why are appointments required? Can't I just walk in?
We schedule by appointment so that every person gets our full, undivided attention. That means no waiting room, no distractions and no rushing — just a private room and the time to talk things through properly. Call us at (847) 541-9799 and we'll find a time that works for you.
-
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.

Still have a question? Call (847) 541-9799 or send us a note and we'll answer it directly.
