Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota

HRI describes its mission as improving lives and restoring confidence through hair restoration. The clinic moved into its current Bloomington facility in 2022 and reports more than 30 years of experience and over 10,000 procedures. It presents itself as a one-stop option covering surgical, non-surgical and cosmetic hair restoration, and it says it is one of the most trusted hair restoration facilities in the country. The clinic also calls itself Minnesota's top-rated hair restoration clinic and says it has earned more than 100 five-star reviews; those are its own claims. It says the Minneapolis Star Tribune named it Minnesota's Best Hair Restoration Clinic in multiple years, according to the clinic.

A first visit starts with a free, no-obligation scalp evaluation and consultation in a private office with a trained hair loss professional. Quotes are given during a consultation held over Zoom. The staff includes licensed cosmetologists, nurse practitioners, plastic surgeons, physician assistants, trichologists and scalp micropigmentation artists, and the physicians listed on the site are hair transplant surgeons. The clinic says it advises patients to seek licensed medical doctors or nurse practitioners who specialize in hair restoration rather than medspas or plastic surgery clinics.

Transplant procedures are done under local anesthesia only, with no general sedation. The day starts with arrival at 7:00 AM, and graft harvesting and placement usually take about six to eight hours. The graft count is confirmed by the surgeon the morning of the procedure, and clients pay only for the grafts they receive. Procedures take place Tuesday through Saturday. Follow-up visits can be done virtually, and FUT sutures are removed by a local provider about two weeks after surgery. Every hair transplant patient receives a complimentary aftercare program.

Clients living far from the Twin Cities can use the Hair by Air program, which covers up to $200 in flight or mileage costs, reimbursed to the payment method after the procedure, and includes two free nights at the on-site Crowne Plaza MSP hotel with a complimentary airport shuttle that runs every 20 minutes. Eligibility covers eyebrow, facial hair and scalp FUE, FUT or hybrid transplants of 2,000 grafts or more for clients more than two hours away. Patients who move out of state can be referred to a Dermal Lens affiliate. Parking in the connected garage is free, and the clinic serves as a donation center for Locks of Love. Financing is available, with 0% for up to 24 months and low-APR plans for up to 60 months, and the clinic accepts all major credit cards. It also offers a best price guarantee and discounts for veterans, teachers and first responders.

Describes its approach as a one-stop shop covering surgical, non-surgical and cosmetic options, with each hair restoration plan customized to age, hair type, general health, degree of hair loss, lifestyle and patient expectations.

Totally private styling rooms are available for both men and women, on the 12th floor of an office tower.
