Advanced Hair Studio- Fraud company

[agrover]

I am sharing the summary of my painful experience with Advanced Hair Studio. After a series of hair loss incidences, I finally decided to visit this studio. On the day of consultation, the owner Mr. Sanket showed me such a glorious picture and insisted that I should start the treatment ASAP. After a hefty payment of Rs. 1,84,000, I started with my Laser Therapy. The procedure which was suggested for my hair maintaince has got me in the extreme stage of baldness. These people have played with my money, my time and caused mental agony. After being fed up of the baseless assurances by their in house doctor and good for nothing client relations people, I decided to rip off the flashy mask and show people the reality of this studio.

 

I befriended few staff working with the studio and tried conversing with the other customers undergoing treatment who were equally unsatisfied. It has taken me a good amount of 3-4 months to collect the below mentioned information. If you are planning to visit them or starting your treatment, this is in your interest.

 

1. Consultation: All of you must have made several plans to visit AHS for a consultation appointment, many one who has already been for the appointment would agree with the information given by me. The moment you enter the studio you get amazed by the amazing interior of the studio. The well trained manager asks to wait for “some time” which usually goes up to anything from 60 to 80 minutes. In that while, the Front office people screens you from top to bottom about your watch, your mobile phone, brands of your clothes and most importantly the information of the car you drive (either the parking guy or the camera installed outside at the parking).

 

i. The consultant is basically a sales consultant with monthly targets, they are not Doctors. Not even anywhere close to medical field. They are basically losers from various professions including insurance, retails, banks, house husbands’ etc.

ii. They have crammed the sales pitch word to word. They don’t know anything beyond the pitch. No matter what you are, what your problem is all they know is to sell their product.

iii. They have no standard pricing for the treatment. The same treatment you paid a fortune for would be offered to someone at the one third amounts. The promotional or discounted prices scheme is nothing but a sales trick. So kindly use your own mind.

 

Beware don’t be lured by the fancy words they say, the celebrities they promote, the promises they give. Everything is a Trap

 

2. Advanced Laser Therapy: Ok after all the jargons about the various procedures you would be starting with the laser treatment putting your hard earned money into it. Honestly in past 3 years of operations in India AHS has not a single client who is happy about the results. Few if they arrange to gather are basically their own close knit people who are paid to give positive illusion. Few things you should be known before you get yourself into the Trap of AHS:

i. Laser procedure has never been proved effective by the clinical and other health institutions.

ii. Laser and its products are not FDA approved as claimed by the sales staff. It has been passed by FDA but on certain guidelines not maintained by AHS.

iii. The minoxdryl and the serenoa capsules are given to all clients without even knowing the side effects. Kindly Google the side effects for your interest.

iv. The laser products i.e. shampoo, serums, capsules, minoxdryl are not imported but manufactured locally in Gujarat.

 

3. Strand by Strand Surgical: This one is a complete disaster without any much change in the look.

i. The much applauded Doctors are nothing but jerks that are mincing hefty money making fool of people. Please consult the celebrities whom they claim to have done hair transplant for. That’s nothing but the sales gimmick. The fact is the celebrities are given invitations to enjoy services without any money (still many don’t turn up).

ii. Trust me for this if you have underwent a hair transplant from AHS, you will agree with me and must be feeling looted. One of my close friends working with the organization told me at NO POINT they transplant more than 1500 follicles!!! Now, even if you have paid around 5-7 lakhs you have made a fool of yourself. The same reason they don’t allow any relative to count the follicles.

iii. If you have gone out of budget to pay for their doctors’ trust me the doctor does his job only till the anesthesia does its work. After that he gets busy in his “extra” activities. Rest of the work is done by semi trained doctors team. I was surprised when my friend’s stitches were removed by their office boy!!

iv. It would be a blunder getting hair transplant done by AHS as the same doctors charge rock bottom prices when you get it done by their clinics. Harsha Bhogle Hair Transplant India Kolkata Delhi Mumbai Bangalore Dhaka Dubai(UAE) Kathmandu and Dr Amit Gupta- Plastic and cosmetic surgery consultant|cosmetic surgeon|Delhi|gurgaon|Noida|Cosmetic clinic India you can test by yourself.

 

4. Strand by Strand Cosmetic: In short they are ordinary wigs bought from local market of Thailand and you can also buy higher quality wigs when you are there. There is no technology nothing is involoved. They are infamous abroad about these malpractices. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/145207-advanced-hair-studio.html many more can be searched online.

 

5. Flashpoints. Again very cheap versions are available in the market. You might find something with the better quality

[Root4me]

OMG, you have been ripped off.

For that price you could have gone to Dr Sohi and had over 4000 grafts and in a years time you would have had a full head of hair. FULL STOP.

Agrover:

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. I wish you did more research before going to these jerks. Glad you posted your experience which might serve as an red alert for others

OMG, you have been ripped off.

I uses to work for AHS

They are a DISASTER!!....

[longhairlarry]

I got my 1st piece off them about 10 years ago. it cost me an absolute fortune!!

I'm actually setting up a business in Dublin .Having worked with AHS, i know i can offer much more affordable and relaible service

I rang them recently to get a price on hair pieces, to see what i'm up against. They quoted me 1800EUro for one piece.

I know they pay about 70 euro for them in asia.

I got great satisfaction in telling mr. slick where to shove his 1800EURO!!

Maeve you must be working around the clock to deal with all the complaints.

As well as being a client, i worked for AHS for a while.

I left because i was sick of ripping of young vulnerable guys, selling them products that were ineffective, or were way overpriced

The company is rotten to the core, and my advice would be STEER CLEAR!!...

To Whom It May Concern:

 

 

Advanced Hair Studio has received recently several bad postings on this website.

 

We know that the postings were placed and incited by a well planned forum consisting of ex-employee(s) and or competitor(s). Their sole purpose being to tarnish the reputation of Advanced Hair Studio, for their own gain.

 

Obviously we recognize the fact that being in a consumer sensitive business like ours, we cannot please all clients all of the time as some expectations are too high or unrealistic; and so the odd occasion we can & do make a mistake, but Advanced Hair Studio prides itself on tens of thousands of happy clients; many of which are more than grateful for what we've done for them.

 

Subsequently those web postings that aren't contrived we ask to contact us so we can make amends, we ask that you contact Maeve Duhy our Client Relations Officer, 186 Lansdowne Road, Canton, Cardiff CF5 1JT or Phone: 02920 641 290 Fax: 02920 641 292, or Email:maeveduhy@advancedhairstudio.com. Mrs Duhy is Advanced Hair Studio's Client Relations Officer in UK and Ireland and is authorized to discuss all complaints and refunds.

 

If you are a legitimate complainant this would be much more productive than posting possible inflammatory statements on this site?

 

Yours sincerely,

Advanced Hair Studio

Advanced Hair Studio acknowledges the bad posting(s) on this web site.

 

We know that the postings were placed and incited by a well planed forum consisting of ex-employee(s) and or competitor(s). Their sole purpose being to tarnish the reputation of Advanced Hair Studio out of desperation for their own gain.

 

So this person is not an existing or a past client of Advanced Hair Studio and has not undergone any procedure(s) with us and so has nothing to do with this organisation.

 

Obviously we recognize the fact that Hair loss is an emotional and a serious problem and we are dealing with an extremely sensitive area (business). We do genuinely try to match expectations of each client by performing one or multiple procedures out of the 4 completely different unique/ patented procedures what we have under the same roof. This is provided the client follows the recommended procedure(s), we are then able to achieve highly satisfactory results.

 

Goes without saying that’s the reason we have become World’s LARGEST Company in this segment.

 

Common sense, no company can expand their network from one city to the other, one state to the other and from one country to the other without satisfying their clients. The very reason AHS operates and has expanded its network from New Zealand to USA is because we are committed to perform and produce satisfactory results for each client who comes to our doorstep.

 

If a client has any concern with our procedure(s) or with the results, we encourage them to write an email on feedback@advancedhairstudioindia.com and we will address the problem in satisfactory and timely fashion. So if someone is a genuine client, we request them to get in touch with a Studio Manager of that respective city and also write on the above email ID to discuss the concern.

 

If you are a legitimate complainant this would be much more productive and sensible then posting possible inflammatory statements on this site. If you’re not a legitimate complainant, we request the reader to ignore this posting and believe in the world’s largest company.

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

Advanced Hair Studio, India

“I have been coming here for over a year now. I was very skeptical initially as I had tried a variety of treatments to no effect. But with time, I have noticed a distinct improvement in my hair.

 

The people here are really great, and I would definitely suggest the Advanced Hair Studio to anyone who is suffering from hair loss.

 

Thank you all so much!”Anjali Sachin Tendulkar

Advanced hair studio is a big fraud dey charge lakhs for nothing den fake promises

[Lukeymac1988]

Clear case of an ex employee with a vendetta against Advanced Hair Studio writing a review.

 

My experience of them was nothing but exceptional and my results were fantastic.

[grincher]

there are good and bad posts about nearly all hair system companies.

 

Ive never been a customer of Advanced Hair and I never will but only because they charge so much for the same products I can get for a sixth of the price without any loss of quality and possible superior quality from some of your systems I have seem when meeting people.
