Here's my take so far. Before i go on, I suffered from hair loss due to many factors except genetic inheritance (as all my family members do not have this problem). So to keep things simple and hassle free, i always go to the barber and say get me a crew cut No .1 (the shortest in the range). The new hairstyle has made my life easier and less worrisome about not looking good with balding problem. A basic principle in life is there is always 2 side of the coin - one is the problem, the other is the solution.

Anyway, i started having hair loss mainly due to stress and the lack of attention to proper diet. Of course, our weather made things worse. All in all, the multitude of factors added to the situation of mine - uncontrollable hair loss. I had wanted to visit Yun Nan or Beijing 101. However, deliberation over the issues and knowing of the fact that there is no free lunch in this world - i decided against it - to avoid the huge costs and also the hassle of never-ending treatment.

I visited and consulted medical professionals (doctors and specialists - not Traditional Chinese Medicine (aka TCM)) and from a medical science perspective, there is no known permanent cure to hair loss. Medical prescribed as mentioned earlier in this thread will only help to maintain the situation in the best condition that our hormones are able to adjust. As such, medication will maintain the current state of hair loss condition and in some instances slightly improve (meaning more hair growth and less hair loss). However, the medication has to be sustained and cannot be stopped, else the condition will return. There are some known side effects and one of them is the loss of sexual drive (manz.. this is worse than hair loss, and is one reason why i choose not to opt for it.).

So after gathering of facts and much consderations, I opted for a solution (flip side of the coin) by settling down comfortably with neater hair cut (how messy can it get with crew cut no.1) and without being hassled by maintenance. Anyway, i am almost 40. No big deal as life goes on and I think I am happier given that I have found the solution to my problem.

Cheers, JY

I went to Yun Nam Hair Treatment for Dandrauff and Grey Hair Treatment since March 2009 and treatment could end in Sept 2009. I really cannot afford high cost as I am low paid. How to tell them I dont want to go there anymore ? I already paid all. So I wonder if I dont tell them and dont go there anymore ?

I stopped my treatment recently. The consultants in Yun nam are very good with their hard selling tactics. Depends on the kind of person you are. Stop going there anymore is one solution.

They will definitely spend a lot of time persuading you, saying that since you spend so much money on you treatment you should not give up and say that you will suffer hair loss if you discontinue your treatment (no matter what treatment you are doing, they will say there is a possibility that you will suffer hair loss if you follow their recommendation). They will provide alternatives like paying your treatments package with interest free installments like 200 - 300 per appointment. Dont be fooled by the interest free installment, at the end of the day you still pay thousands just for your never ending maintainence treatments.

For me, I finished my remaining treatments and told them I don't want to continue due to high cost and poor customer services of Yunnam. I limit the time they have to persuade me. Just tell them 2 times you dont want to continue due to high cost politely first. At your third time saying your reason, say that's the last time you are repeating your reason, just walk out of the consulting room telling your consultant that you will wait for her at the counter.

FYI, according to my years of treatments in yunnam, they will ask you to purchase new treatment package way before your current treatment package ends so they have enough time to persuade you.

Alternatively, when your consultant asked you to go to consulting room to scan your scalp after your treatment (that's when they will ask you to purchase a new treatment package), just say you are rushing for time today and maybe next time (at your last appointment then tell them).

my mum almost burned 1k on some yun nam scam treatment but my dad forced her to consult our family GP first

turned out that that move saved us from being 1k poorer

^ no matter what treatment you are doing, they will say there is a possibility that you will suffer hair loss if you follow "dont" their recommendation.

^Depends on the kind of person you are. whether you are one that is easy persuaded by others.

the best solution is to accept the fact.

once u start to accept it, things get a lot easier.
