David Hansen, also known in the Chicago area as the Hair Doctor, has found it hard, if not impossible, to find someone who knows more about men’s non-surgical custom hair replacement than he does. He has over 50 years of experience and countless awards, which can also be viewed on our site. He is familiar with all types of hair; no matter the age, gender or nationality, David Hansen has done it all. Each hairpiece has to be designed for the individual based on their face shape, balding pattern, age, and hair type. This process is not just a business-it is an art. David Hansen is a part of a rare breed of people whose passion for what they do has motivated them beyond average, or even better than most.  He is simply the best.

During his 5 decades of custom hair restoration, David has experimented in all aspects of the hair replacement business to make sure that his hair pieces are the best in the world. He is also involved in every aspect of creating a hair piece in order to get the best results.  Because of his superior skills, David has had many opportunities to expand his business greatly in size and number of employees. It may come as a surprise to some that he has turned these down.

Why would he do such a thing? Isn't bigger always better? The answer is a resounding 'NO.' Large business have a tendency to gradually lose quality in their products to pursue a higher quantity of customers.  When there are too many people involved in the process it is easier for mistakes to be made by inexperienced people hired to fill in gaps. David does not want to be the largest in the world. He wants to be the best, and that’s exactly what he is. What make us better is not centered around our marketing skills but the fact that we have the best hair replacement designer that you can find.

75% of getting an undetectable hair replacement comes from the actual cutting in of the hair replacement system. If the hair piece is not cut in the right way it will not look natural. That is what most other hair replacement companies on the market lack; most regular barbers simply don't know how to cut hair for a man wearing a hairpiece. David Hansen's superior natural hair and hairpiece styling have earned him multiple state, national, and international awards in hairpiece design. His understanding of how hair moves and acts enables him to blend your hair undetectably with the hair replacement system.

David Hansen opened his first shop in 1965 by the corner of Chicago and Michigan Avenue. Here, he began to  start teaching other barbers and hairdressers his craft. He also entered and won many competitions in creating hair pieces. David's teaching took him all over the United States, the Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico. He had created for himself first opportunities to make hair replacement systems. He had realised his dream, and became the very best in his field. In 1970 he moved to his second salon, at the John Hancock Center on Michigan Ave. The shop became the best and most popular in Chicago. After 5 years of extraordinary success he decided to downsize his business and work alone, moving to a smaller location where his most loyal customers followed. This was his ultimate proof that people were grateful and had respect respected for his work. He is currently located in the beautiful Gold Coast of Chicago, at 770 N LaSalle Center.
