Located in Lincoln Park, Chicago, Eminere Hair Extensions & Salon creates custom hair integration systems for women experiencing thinning hair or hair loss. An integration system adds fullness and coverage while working with your natural hair, so the result looks and feels like your own.
With more than 20 years of experience, we fit, color-match and style every system in a private, comfortable setting.
What Is a Hair Integration System?
A hair integration system is a lightweight base of premium human hair with small openings throughout. Your natural hair is gently pulled through those openings, and the system blends into your own hair for seamless, natural-looking fullness.
Because your own hair stays part of the look, an integration system feels breathable and comfortable, and it moves naturally. Every system is customized to your natural hair, texture, color and desired style.
Who Is Hair Integration For?
Hair integration is a great fit if you still have some natural hair and want more fullness, coverage and confidence. We often help clients with:
- General thinning or reduced density
- Thinning on the top of the head or at the crown
- Androgenetic (hereditary) hair loss
- Alopecia areata and other forms of alopecia
- Regrowth after chemotherapy, when hair is coming back but still fine or sparse
Hair loss treatments can take time to show results. An integration system gives you immediate cosmetic fullness.
How Hair Integration Works With Your Own Hair
At your appointment, we measure and map the areas where you want more fullness. The system is positioned, and your natural hair is drawn through the base so the two blend together.
We then color-match, cut and style the system with your own hair for a seamless blend and fuller-looking hair that suits your face and lifestyle.
Hairdreams MicroLines
Eminere offers Hairdreams MicroLines, a premium hair integration system for women with thinning hair. MicroLines uses an ultra-fine, nearly invisible base that is integrated with your own hair, adding density exactly where you need it while your natural hair grows through.
We also offer Hairdreams toppers for clients who want targeted coverage on the top of the head.
Your Consultation
Every hair integration starts with a private, one-on-one consultation.
- We talk about your hair history, your goals and your daily routine.
- We look at your hair and scalp to see where you need fullness and how much natural hair you have.
- We review your options, including integration, toppers and cranial prostheses, and recommend what fits you best.
- We plan color, length and style so your system is made for you.
Payment plans are available. Learn more on our payment plans page or ask during your consultation.
Care and Maintenance
A hair integration system is a professional service, and regular salon visits keep it looking its best. During maintenance appointments, we check the fit, refresh the blend with your natural hair, and restyle as needed.
At home, gentle care makes a big difference. We will show you how to wash, brush and style your system, and recommend professional products to protect it.
Hair Integration vs. Hair Toppers vs. Cranial Prostheses
- Hair integration systems blend through your natural hair to add overall fullness. They are ideal when you have thinning across a larger area but still have natural hair to work with.
- Hair toppers add coverage to a specific area, usually the top of the head or the part line, and blend with your existing hair.
- Cranial prostheses are custom medical wigs that cover the whole head, for more advanced hair loss from alopecia, chemotherapy or other medical conditions. Learn more about cranial prostheses in Chicago.

Hair Integration FAQ
What is the difference between a hair integration system and a wig?
A wig, including a cranial prosthesis, covers the whole head. A hair integration system blends with your natural hair, which is pulled through the base, so it adds fullness while your own hair stays part of the look.
Can I get hair integration if my hair is very thin?
Often, yes. Integration works best when you still have some natural hair to blend with. At your consultation we will recommend integration, a topper or a cranial prosthesis, whichever will look and feel best.
Is hair integration a good option after chemotherapy?
It can be. When your hair is growing back but is still fine or sparse, an integration system can add fullness during regrowth. If you have more complete hair loss, a cranial prosthesis may be a better fit at first.
Do you offer Hairdreams MicroLines in Chicago?
Yes. Eminere offers Hairdreams MicroLines and Hairdreams toppers at our Lincoln Park salon on N. Halsted St.
How much does hair integration cost?
Pricing depends on the system, the hair and the amount of coverage you need, so we give you a personal quote at your consultation. Payment plans are available, and you can view our salon price list for other services.
