Viviscal

I recently had dreadlocks for some years, before I decided to cut them out, leaving my hair short, I started this journey with Viviscal, and within a week, I could visibly see a huge change in my hair for the better! It is growing super fast, the shine is back, my hair is alive and thriving, I cannot wait until summer to see how much it has grown within the 2 months of taking this, I will buy another box after I finish this one. Most def will recommend to my friends also!

Just want to note that I have no health problems that would cause hair loss, as stated on their website, that would cause it to not work as well or at all for some, so I don’t understand all the bad reviews, when clearly they have health issues to begin with so it is NOT going to work. But as long as you are trying to grow your hair or make it more healthy this is the best thing out!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

This company is the most disgusting company with the worst customer service I have ever dealt with, because they are such horrendous liars! They do not make it clear that you have to CALL to cancel the subscription that they sign you up for online when you purchase the product for the first time. I removed my credit card information and my shipping address so that they would not ship it again with their auto-renew program. Guess what? After my credit card changed and I did not give them the updated security code, these hackers were still able to charge my credit card. I called to cancel the order 2 HOURS LATER, and they said they could not cancel it because it was "already in processing". That is the biggest lie and scam I have ever heard in my entire life. I told them to reroute the package to their returns department so I could immediately get a refund. They said they would request that through upper management and that upper management would call me within 24 hours. Guess what? Those liars obviously did not call me within 24 hours.

I canceled my auto-renew membership, but God knows if they actually canceled it, they are such a scam, I do not trust them at all anymore. They have forced me to pay for this second shipment and are forcing me to receive this second shipment because the supervisor said "we tried to reroute it back to us but were unable." Guess what? She lied because the person before her told me that upper management responded to my request that they couldn't reroute it back to themselves that they had to send it back to my updated address. These liars are scammers and force you into their product!

I repeatedly told them that they are sending that box to an address I'm no longer at and that box will get stolen. They didn't care. Especially the supervisors. The poor customer service reps are just messengers.

Anyway, after 48 hours they couldn't even give me a tracking number for my package, which is extremely shady! How do you not have a tracking number? So now I don't even know when this package will arrive to an address I am no longer at! How will I return it to get a refund?

Length of Use: 3–6 months

My dermatologist said my hair would grow back but it might take a year and to be patient. My thyroid doctor who alerted me to my hair loss (which was pretty significant) is the one that was regulating my thyroid meds, which I thought were not doing the job, but for the last six months, my thyroid is where it should be. My hair has always been fine but very plentiful and took color, perm, and hair set easily. I'm in my 70's and have been taking an am and a pm Viviscal tab for a year this year. My "hair has gone from being fine" to being "thin in shaft strength" and the bald spots on the left and right side of my hair if I part it either way or in the back are still very visible unless I comb my hair back and secure it and also use hair color brush on. It has not worked for me.

Began Viviscal with one order. Never received my third box. Called to cancel as my dermatologist advised me "don't waste your money". The rep that I canceled with supposedly closed my account. Five months later I get a call from what I thought was a Viviscal representative, until I asked at the end of the call why I wasn't aware I owed money until 5 months after I canceled my "membership" when he told me it was an outside billing agency calling. Phoned Viviscal to have someone tell me they shipped my second auto-renewed order, which ONE, I never asked for and TWO, never received! And 5 months later I owe you money? So frustrating companies like this prey on hard-working people that are LOSING THEIR HAIR DUE TO STRESS. SHAME ON YOU. Will be disputing and reporting to BBB.

The infomercial said $30 or $40 for a month to try it. So I thought I'd try it. Shortly after my order, they billed me again for another $127.00 approximately.

Oh, I remember what the rep told me when I called the first time I called, he said "you qualify for a 90-day supply, then a month later I received a bill for the $127. Long story short, I called to return it because I don't want to take this tablet every day and I didn't really see the value. You can go and buy a good Omega 3 and some other vitamins or supplements for a lot less without subscribing to a subscription that hits your bank card and gets their info wrong. I tried to return it and they said they would mail me a label. I was waiting and waiting and waiting, no label came. I repeated this 3 times, called them, they said they would send a return label to return the product and I would not be charged any further. I was waiting for a label that never came. On my 3rd request for a label, I asked them to email it to me, same thing, I never got an e-mailed label, checked my spam box. I told the customer service rep the 3rd time if I didn't receive a return label as promised I would call my bank card and dispute their charges, and so I had to do that. Four months later they sent me to collections. I am now calling and calling the customer service number again to get them to do what they promised. Oh, a supervisor returned my call 3 days later, of course, it went to my voicemail, I am not available to take calls all day waiting on them. That had no results other than she took it off collections and asked for my credit card to charge it again - no way. So another call to customer service, by now they owe me for my time and aggravation, ridiculous waste of time.

Bought this product three months ago. When it arrived I follow the directions on the package to a tee. The product did not work. Not only that - when you buy a product they automatically put you on a membership that you cannot manage via their online website and they don't even tell you so they ended up charging me another $180 for their tablets. When I called them to tell them that I do not want the product they told me that they can only refund me now if I ship the product back to them at my own expense and refused to do anything.

I ordered this product. $159.00. With the agreement to pay 2 more payments after the product was received. This was months ago. I never received the product. I called numerous times, basically being told, sorry. It was shipped. I canceled my card so the next two payments would not come out. They then turned me over to collections. So, I paid $159.00 for something I never received. The company didn’t care, they just wanted the money for a product I never received. Do not buy this product.

If you want to try this, buy it at Walgreens or any other authorized retailer. Do NOT order from their website. They have very confusing and "scammy" billing policies. I was confused as to why I was being charged $49 all the time, and my credit card had changed, and instead of canceling my account, they continued to bill me and then sent me to collections. I called them twice to pay on whatever I owed (which was a whopping $70) and get it all figured out and they kept saying they'd "let upper management know" but nothing happened. HORRIBLE. They are purposely confusing you so they can hook you for auto-renews that are hard to cancel and then do nothing to solve your problem when you call them.

I'm usually really good about stuff like this too. My credit score is over 800, I have no debt. I'm not some idiot and they still managed to confuse me and screw me over. I had very little results too. Better off just taking a multivitamin. Such a bad experience with them.

I started this product a month and a half ago after trying several different types of hair growth products for a receding hairline that was beginning to get out of control, along with thinning on top of my head. Viviscal man definitely works for me. After 30 days I saw a big drastic difference in minimal hair shedding and regrowth already happening. 50 days of using the product and my hair is growing in so thick, and my receding hairline is pretty much on its way back to being a complete hairline. My wife uses the women's Viviscal and is just as satisfied. In my experience, definitely worth your money. Not much different price than Rogaine, except Viviscal truly works.

I ordered this product directly from the company, and they billed me $65.00 They sent me a package that I did not order and then put me in their auto-subscribe program. I called them to return the products and cancel all future shipments. They told me that they did all their returns by US mail, so I had to wait for the return label, which was another 7-10 business days. I had to return the package and of course, no credit until they received the package. To add insult to injury, they proceeded to bill me $40 for their auto-subscribe program, while I have absolutely nothing in my hands and over $100 of my money in their hands. I called again and guess what. I was told that I had to wait another 7-10 business days before they would credit my account, as they had just received the return package.

In today's online marketing, almost everyone offers return labels by email or a link to print it, so that these returns are seamless and credits are often issued with the proof of shipment such as a tracking number. How does Viviscal think they can do this to their customers? It's beyond me.

I am 63 and take hormone replacement. My thyroid medication made my hair start falling out. I had to keep it very short as an attempt to grow it out, it was disappointing, and split ends were rampant. I had to have a haircut every six weeks to keep the split ends down. I learned about Viviscal at my dentist office reading a magazine in which Minnie Driver hawks this product. The ad said available at Target.

I went to Target and picked it up for $35.00. If you have a Target credit/debit card, it's 5% less. I have just finished my second pack. Up until now, I knew nothing of shampoos and serums. The box does NOT say extra strength. Maybe that's why there are side effects in some women. I have not had a haircut in twelve weks and do not need one. I have zero split ends. None. My hair is clearly more healthy and last week I noticed brand new black hair growth in my temple area. I'm stoked.

I have only posted a review for anything online once before. But based on some of the negative reviews you have posted, I feel strongly that ladies reading this site should know that not everyone is disappointed. So, I am seeing real hair growth around sixty days in. For the first time in years, I can twist my hair and clip it up. Before, I didn't have enough hair to twist; couldn't make a ponytail. I have not had any of the side effects stated by others. And, I would never buy through the website or get on auto refill. I learned the hard way years back that it is hard to get off auto and customer service usually sucks. Just go to Target and get the regular strength, the only choice they have on the shelf, and give it a try. It's not a huge investment over the website. I'm cheap. No way would I have paid fifty bucks for this. But $35.00 minus the five percent with my debit card for a couple of months is doable. Then, after sixty days or so as in my case (the box says ninety) either quit or keep going.

Oh, and don't know how someone's friend could read the ingredients and declare them "fraudulent". How is that determined? Good luck ladies.
