I think there new tagline should be "No-No"... AHS has for years been a marketing machine and at no point have they taken a step back to actually think about what they are doing to their clients. How many people out there can afford to maintain the costs of there systems? i am based in Sydney and I'll give you a run down of there "service charges"
Latest system - $1600p/pc (you need atleast 8 pcs per/year)
Haircut - $75 (monthly)
Cut in/fitting - $between $150-$250
lace tape - $9
now based on this and excluding the other products then it would cost you over $15000 per yr for a hairpiece!! not "Strand by Strand" or whatever they choose to market t as.. I mean yes the little chinese lady in the factory is weaving it strand by strand but not on your head!
How do I know this..well I was one of their customers for years and got to know the team their very well.. you may ask why the hell would I pay so much for so long well it felt like I had no choice, I actually liked the job they did the stylists were great but I just could never get over the fact of how much my hair cost it was unbelievable. Crunch time came when I just literally could no longer afford to continue and when I went in to negotiate price the best I was offered was a $100 off and 3months worth of haircuts!!
Now that i distribute my own hairpieces I see what fools we are to pay the money they charge, I go to a few different studios (various companies) accross the globe to get MY OWN system fitted and cut and dont have to worry about paying so much for hair and never feeding my children again! lol
