  • Feeling Like Yourself Again After Hair Loss | A Personalized Approach
    Feb 11 2026

    Amy Salzstein is the owner of Hair Response and a leading expert in customized hair loss solutions. Founded in 1985 by her mother, Barbara, following her personal experience with Alopecia Areata, Hair Response was built on empathy, understanding, and individualized care.

    Amy joined the family business in 1990, learning firsthand the importance of listening deeply and supporting clients through a highly personal journey. When Barbara retired in 2007, Amy proudly continued the legacy, guiding Hair Response forward with the same heart-centered mission. Unlike a traditional wig shop or salon, Hair Response offers private, one-on-one appointments in a supportive environment where clients are truly seen and heard.

    Amy joins us today to discuss hair loss solutions, confidence, and how personalized care can help people feel like themselves again.
