Personal Experience and would I recommend this to my friends?

After going through the analysis, the consultant informed me that I had oily scalp and reclining hairline problem and offered me a mixture of treatments in package to alternate the oily scalp treatment and hair loss treatments weekly. I have signed up for the promotional package of $38 for each session – 20 sessions to be shared with myself and one other friend. After going on weekly / bi weekly basis, all they did was to wash my hair, massage with hands and a weird looking machine with different serum (depending on the treatment) and scalp mask.  Sad to say, I really do not see any difference or improvements in my reclining hair line or less oily scalp and never went back there after my package ended. It didn’t really help that I requested for a respective therapist for the following session but was told it is not possible when I went down. When the therapist wash my hair, either water droplets will roll down my face or when dry-blowing my hair, I would appreciate if they could shield my face from the “slapping hair”. In this aspect, I think they could do much better though I wasn’t super unhappy as the service staff was generally polite and would be apologetic if they had made a mistake. Personally I did not recommend the treatments to others as it didn’t work for me neither was I was very satisfied with the service to try out the treatments for a longer period of time as I am aware results may be visible after many sessions over a longer period of time.

  1. Mother in law bought a package and had a major allergy on her face! She had to go To a dermatologist to solve it. Svensons does not refund. Be careful on buying any package. The persons there are consultants not doctors.

  3. Technology also has reduced the interaction with family members. Another problem is the environmental damages like air pollution,water pollution and noise pollution.
