Snippet from the article:
A ”CUTTING EDGE” hair loss clinic that says it can cure baldness in fact hands out cheap wigs to cover bald spots. Hair Science International was fined $100,000 after Consumer Affairs Victoria exposed scores of false claims made by the Melbourne-based company that advertises to have “20 years in Hair-loss research across the globe”. The business even starred footballers Brent Guerra and David Hale on their website.
Consumer Affairs Victoria took the company, former director Steve Sindiris and ”senior hair loss specialist” Joseph Zwaigoft to Melbourne Magistrates’ Court after unhappy customers spoke out. Customers claimed they paid $6,000 to $8,000 for poor-quality hairpieces which were glued on to their head. Hairpieces also needed to be reattached every five to six weeks for an additional fee.
Consumer Affairs Victoria alleged that the company claimed it could grow hair on synthetic liquid skin and then attach this hair to the client’s scalp.
