Hair Empire

Hair Empire is a hair extension salon in Chicago. Its main offering is ICE Hair Extensions, also known as invisible extensions. The salon says it is the only salon in the Midwest and in Chicago offering the ICE method.

ICE extensions attach with cold fusion technology and a non-toxic activator, so no glue or heat is used. According to the salon, the ICE capsules are smaller and lighter than keratin, micro ring and tape extensions, and the business states they are 3 to 5 times smaller. The extensions can be dyed and styled, and the salon describes them as suitable for all hair types. They are designed for damaged or weak hair, and the business states they suit very thin hair, especially at the crown.

The salon builds a personalized plan around the look each client wants. Appointments are booked by direct message through the website. The salon uses natural materials and products, recommends sulfate-free products and avoiding excessive heat for ICE extension care, and sells Dr. Sorbie hair care products including masks, shampoos and a leave-in spray.

Hair Empire also sells European Remy human hair bulk extensions in 16 shades. Exchanges are accepted within 14 days of purchase for items returned unopened, unused and in original packaging, with exchanges or store credit offered for eligible returns. Customers pay return shipping, and certain items may not be eligible for return for hygiene reasons.
