In a recent article titled Hair Growth Treatment Leaves Big Hole in Woman’s Wallet, the Chicago Tribune reports that Shelley Lindsay, a forty-year-old hairdresser, paid almost eleven thousand dollars for a hair loss treatment in which she was offered a money back guarantee.
In this Chicago Tribune column, Lindsay states, “He wanted the money right there, upfront, And of course I made a bad decision.” Jon Yates reports:
“Lindsay wrote a check Sept. 4 and began the six-month regimen. Twice a week, she spent 30 minutes under an NHGI laser machine, a slick contraption that looks like a hair dryer from “The Jetsons.” She took three pills three times a day, dietary supplements supposed to aid the re-growth process. She used Bennis Hair Sciences shampoo, conditioner and cleanser. She applied two tonics— “morning formula” and “evening formula”—religiously.
Because the program was so expensive, Lindsay took her own before-and-after photos. She also shot video of her hair on the night she signed the contract and again several weeks ago.
She saw no results.
After the six months had ended, she complained to Bennis, who extended her treatments one more month, she said. When that month was over, she still hadn’t seen a difference, she said.
Lindsay said she tried for about two months to schedule a final appointment to discuss getting her money back, but Bennis would not return her calls. On April 11, she sent him a certified letter. For weeks, he did not respond.”
It was at this point Shelly Lindsay wrote the Chicago Tribunes’s “What’s Your Problem” column written by Jon Yates on April 30, 2008.
