      On or about March 30 2023 I made an appointment for a free hair consultation with HairClub for men in *********** **. A few days later I received a call from their representative *********************** *************) asking for a downpayment. I never signed a contract but authorized a $1,000 deposit with my debit card over the phone. Hairclub is claiming I had 3 days to cancel but cancel what? I never signed a contract. Moreover, this company has a history of disgruntled customers as depicted on your own website. What can be done for them to return my $1,000?

      On Jan 13 2023, I had a free hair consultation with *** to look at the possibility of adding a product they call Xtrands to my hair. After the consultation, I was informed my hair wasn't strong enough for Xtrands and they suggested I go with another product where they glue a wig type product over my existing hair to include 12 months of service. The grand total for this service was $7,495.00 and we decided to pay this over two installments with a credit card. They charged $3747.50 to my credit card and I was due to return the following week to get started. After some thought, I decided not to pursue this process and I called the next day (Jan 14) to cancel the service. Per the *** agreement you have 3 business days to cancel. I was informed my money would be refunded to my credit card. My husband noticed on the contract you must sign a *** release agreement within 3 business days to get a full refund, so then I was concerned the phone call wasn't enough to ensure a refund. Between Jan 16th - 18th their offices were closed for a federal holiday and increment weather. I signed the Release form on Jan 19 23 thinking this was a done deal. On the Release and Refund agreement it states it can take up to 30 days to process a refund. After 30 days and no refund my husband and I decided we would probably have to file an Arbitration claim to get our funds back. So we text the rep because she wouldn't answer our phone call, that we would file an arbitration case if we didn't hear from her within 3 business days. She immediately called and seemed surprised our refund wasn't processed and then stated there was an issue refunding the funds to my credit card. She stated she needed to call another representative to figure out the problem and would call us back. Of course, she didn't call back and has not responded to our text. So here we are....

      I started and a hair growth program with hair club for men located in *****, **** at the beginning of September. My entry fee was a $1000 down payment and a ****** monthly payment for 18 months. After 1 month i had to change ********************* because the original 2 that were given to me dried my hair out. After 4 monthly payments which equaled up to 5 visits because my 1st month was covered by my $1000 down payment I experienced great hair lost in the center of my head. I went to go see the manager at the establishment Ms. ***************************** and showed her the center of my head after a week after i experienced the hair lose an even she said it looks like and allergic reaction and stop using the 3 step formula for my hair shampoo, conditioner, and spray. **************** told me that day she would contact hair club headquarters and see about getting me a refund. Since that day earlier this month I've talked to **************** once and was told she wasn't in by the receptionist over 10 times. I told her "I'm still being charged for this service i thought we discontinued it the day you noticed my allergic reaction to the your products." she said "well you still have to pay until further notice from the headquarters if not it can still affect your credit." i replied to her saying "why would i pay for a service i no longer use?" In closing I need for this matter to be resolved with a refund and for this loan to be taken off my credit report.

      I didnt get my hair at the beg of October 2022 as scheduled. I got the hair at the end of Jan 2023 instead. I asked for a refund on the hair I should have got on oct last year. The manager said hairclub never refund or cancel payments even though no system was provided. They said they will give me one more hair in 2023 to make up what they didnt give to me in last year. But I dont need an additional system in new year. I just wanted them to understand they should not charge a client for the system they didnt provide. I do not need an additional system in new year. I need a refund from oct to Jan charges or freeze my monthly payment until beg of May.

      I have been a hair club client for 30 years. During that time, I have been mostly satisfied with the service with only minor issues. However, during the past year the service has been very poor and in violation of the terms of service of the annual contract between myself and HCM. My contract calls for 5 new hair "systems" annually. My last new system was received on August 3, 2022. Per the normal rotation schedule I was due for a new system on or about 12 October 2022. Upon arriving for my appointment I was informed that my new system had not arrived at the ********** office but was assured that it should arrive soon. I was not told prior to my appointment that my new system was not there (I have a 2 hour drive each way to the salon location). Since that time I have contacted the salon numerous times, to include the manager, trying to resolve the issue. I have been told various times that there are supply issues and problems related to COVID. After initially explaining that a solution should occur soon it was finally explained to me that they could not provide me with a date that my new system would arrive, but they assured me that there were a total of 3 systems which had been ordered dating back to March of 2022. There were attempts to provide me with alternative systems (not the custom systems ordered for me) which I found to be unsatisfactory. This violates the contract in that the systems were not custom made for me and did not meet the requirements of the timeline of the contract which calls for 5 systems per year or about every 72 days. Finally, after voicing my concerns that I was paying for services which weren't being me, my account was suspended in December and the auto withdrawl of $400 monthly from my checking account was also suspended. I would like to get a satisfactory answer as to why HCM has not been able to rectify this issue and what their plans are going forward.

      Thanks for the opportunity to serve you. After a forensic review of your membership and ordering, we've found your specific orders are highly specialized and take somewhat longer to arrive than usual. On the corporate side we've assigned ****, with whom you've already spoken, to oversee your issue and resolve it post haste. Additionally, we've placed a rush order on your next system which on average takes five to six weeks. In the meantime we'll collaborate with **************** to assure your current and upcoming orders will process accordingly without restraint. Finally we're pleased that the center made some financial accommodations on your behalf, and again, we'll work closely with them in the coming weeks to resolve this complaint and prevent future occurrences.

      Complaint: 18951070

      I am rejecting this response because:  The first statement says my hair is specialized and takes longer than normal.....this is a nonfactual statement.  I have been a client for 30 years and have never had this issue before.  The truth is that HCM has had internal issues related to COVID, supply chain issues, manufacture problems, etc.  According to HCM there were 2 hair systems placed on order for me in March 2022 and a 3rd system ordered in June of 2022.  The original order for 2 systems is now 11 months after the order date.  Their (HCM) explanation is not adequate.....they need to admit their problems and be honest with their clients.
      Blaming it on my hair being a specialized order is blatant misrepresentation of what actually occurred.  I have however, been satisfied with their representative, **********************  She has been very responsive and honest with me and has explained the issues but this response from the corporate office is offensive.  They have suspended my account (at my request) effective Dec 2022 and have told me that an expedited order on my behalf has been placed.  They HAVE NOT provided any financial compensation as I made my contractual payments or $400 per month in Sep, Oct and Nov of 2022 although no hair was received.  The last product (hair) was delivered to me in Aug 2022. My contract is for 5 hair systems per year or one new system about every 73 days  I made all scheduled payments until Dec 2022 when my account was suspended at my request.  They should refund my payments for ****Nov 2022 ($1200).

      I join ********* on 10/15/2021 and agree to pay 60 moths' payment of $176.47, because I was told that all my hair was going to grow back the way it was before I started ******* it (i showed picture of how it used to look), My first payment was due on 12/02/21, everything was going well, my hair stopped falling right away, but the fourth month, was when everything went back to where I started, falling hair started again, I mentioned to my hair stylist and she told me that I have to wait at least 6 months to see results, so I waited until May 27th and told them I was not happy with the results, My Technician told me to try Xytrans while i continue with my treatment at no extra charge. Here is when all the real problems started, after my last appointment I was having so many problems getting an appointment to do the Xtrants. To make long story short, after cancelling, rescheduling appointments and calling multiple times to schedule my next appointment, I got my Xtrants appointment on August 19 but that treatment didn't work because my hair is too thin. On August 27 ****** offered more treatment which I denied because those treatments were not going to fix my problem, it was tint scalp and Xtrants Plus, we went back and forth, again calling with no answered, emailing, texting, leaving voice messages. Finally On September 7th, we got to an agreement that she was going to refund $2864.41 back to the bank which I had finance my treatment with, which I don't think was fare because my hair still the same and I have to continue paying my loan, but I did agree anyways, I was tired dealing with them, It is January 16th, and I'm still waiting for the refund, I have made so many call to different office to get an answer but still not resolve, last person I talked to was ****** at ********* office on 1/12/23, she is ******'s manager, she promised to take care of this and that ****** was going to call me back. I'm still waiting. Now I want 100% refund or at least 75.
