Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota and Good Look Ink Merge to Create the Midwest's Leading Destination for Scalp Micropigmentation and Hair Restoration

Combined company unites medical hair transplant expertise with industry-defining SMP to deliver trusted, comprehensive solutions for men and women

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota(HRI) and Good Look Ink(GLI) , two nationally recognized leaders in hair restoration, today announced a strategic merger, establishing the most comprehensive scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and hair restoration provider in Minnesota and one of the largest in the Midwest.

The combined company brings together HRI's decades of medical leadership in surgical and non-surgical hair restoration with GLI's pioneering SMP protocols —an advanced cosmetic treatment that replicates the look of natural hair follicles using precise micro-pigmentation, akin to microblading for the scalp or a "hair tattoo".

"By joining forces, we're putting the A-team of surgical and cosmetic hair restoration under one roof," said Nate Bruschi, Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. "We're thrilled to extend HRI's hair transplant expertise across GLI's network and to bring GLI's category-leading SMP outcomes to HRI's thousands of clients. Together, we help people choose the right solution—surgery, SMP, or a tailored combination—based on results, lifestyle, and budget."

Why SMP Is Surging

SMP has gained national momentum as an affordable, low-maintenance option that delivers immediate, natural-looking results—with little to no downtime. The treatment can restore a clean, youthful hairline, add visual density to thinning hair, and camouflage scars. GLI has been featured on Good Morning America , Nightline , and other national outlets and operates locations in Minneapolis, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Nashville, Cleveland, and additional cities across the U.S.

"SMP is one of the fastest-growing solutions for both men and women because it provides instant confidence with minimal disruption," said Leah Matsch, Technical Director at Good Look Ink. "Adding SMP to HRI's full surgical and non-surgical menu means clients get truly personalized plans—and even better outcomes when treatments are thoughtfully combined."

What Clients Can Expect Now

Clients across the Midwest gain streamlined access to a full spectrum of proven solutions with medical oversight and nationally trained specialists:

• Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) : Delivered by GLI-trained practitioners using rigorous protocols for natural, undetectable results
