Hello people,
I just had a "free" consultation with Advanced Hair Studio. I'll break it down as to what frustrated me..
1.The overuse of Shane Warne to promote their company, seriously, he might be good at cricket, but he has a low credibility when it comes to advising about anything else.
2. They made me watch this ten minute video that had testimonies from rugby league stars and other misc. celebrities (The cheesy behavior of them all kind of made you feel that maybe balding was a better option)
3. That annoying "Yeah Yeah" at the end of video (and their commercials) signals to me the mindset of the marketing division for AHS is still trapped in the 1980s.
4. After the video, the salesman was disappointed that I did not exhibit any enthusiasm as a result of watching the video.
5. I don't doubt the effectiveness of their treatment, but i just did not like the overall quasi doomsday scenario they insinuated about balding. I don't fear balding as such, I just wish its onset didn't come to me at the age I'm now, 28. Maybe 35.
6. Then crunch time, the money factor. He told me the price is $6000, but he said I was very lucky, because for the month of April, they are offering a student discount of $3600. Then adding, its only for 11 places, and so far, 6 have been filled. Thus pressuring me further to sign up or I'll lose the deal of a lifetime (I don't know just how April became a magical month for students specifically at AHS)
7. Then he advised I stay away from propecia as it causes erectile dysfunction. I informed him, according to the stats, its only in 1-2% of men, and it usually goes away after stopping the propecia. He then went on about how natural their products are etc.
8. What's this fixation about the laser treatment?, the video used cutting edge futuristic animation to illustrate the power of the laser treatment, does it really work?
9. There was nothing really subtle about the salesman's tactics. The sweeping generalisations just added to the frustration and insulted my intelligence.
10. Ahhhhhh, if I see another Shane Warne image on the wall, I'll snap!.
I even called Ashley and Martin, and one of the things the lady said on the phone was that "AHS are crap, their products don't work". Despite my bad experience with AHS, I'm not going to write off their effectiveness, it's just the rip-off part that spooks me. Hence why I decided not to even book an appointment with Ashley Martin.
To all out there, the confusion is causing a split in my head. Can you please give me some clear advice. I'm 28, in Sydney, stressing big time
because of my phd and lack of exercise. My balding is in its early stages. Do you think I should just buy propecia and get started on it?. Do I need anything else. Please advise as to what has worked for you?.
Thank you,
Mark
