Recently I took up the offer of 8 treatments for $88. A con to sign me up for a package worth more than 2k. Worst is that they don't take NO for an answer. Is it even allowed per the Consumer Regulations in Singapore? The SO CALLED $88 for 8 treatments lasted barely 1hr. I had no experienced anything like this before in any other country. I was told that they treatments work so I really wanted to give it a try but I was SOOOO put off by their sales tactics, its just DISGUSTED ME that I just wanted to get out. I really wish the authorities would do something about such false offers and aggressive marketing. I thought I was the only one! Recently I took up the offer of 8 treatments for $88.

During the weekly cost of treatment, the staff will keep pestering you to buy or upgrade to other products which will expedite results. I believe that we will see results, but its a long term treatment and after tons of money spent on it -up to five figures. I will not continue even if I dont see any results at the end of my sessions.

After that, they will tell you all sorts of scare techniques. My friend has tried it and they say it doesnt work at all. A complete waste of $$$. Don't be fooled by them, don't go and patronize them.

Ms. Tsiken, believe you are an advocate of customer service yourself. What do you think if we can explore on the topic further? Drop me an email if we can discuss further.

I used to have moderate to severe hair loss. The therapists are v friendly and the tcm doctior took my pulse and told me that my shen is weak... think he means kidney. the costing was quite exp as i remember but i saw pretty good results like i have hair growing in patches where it had been bald just a few months back. you need to ahve patience to go for their treatments regularly and just need to have faith. At least it is better to pay a little bit more and see good results than to go shop for cheap bargains and dun see anything right? When i went to Beijing 101, it is really nice.
