CHICAGO, IL - March 17, 2010 - Some skeptics feel that hair loss can't
be reversed, but a judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County in
Chicago feels that the re-growth of hair can and did occur for a laser
hair loss client named Shelley Lindsay. After carefully weighing the
evidence in a three-hour trial, the court ruled against the complaints
of a disgruntled hair treatment client, plaintiff Shelley Lindsay, and
in favor of the defendant, the Natural Hair Growth Institute, LTD.
(NHGI) and its owner, Steve Bennis. Reference Case Number: 2008-M1-
196925.
Lindsay had enrolled in NHGI's six-month laser hair treatment program
on September 4, 2007. As with all new clients, "before photos" were
taken of Lindsay's hair. She began her treatment plan that same day,
and went through a series of steps which involved laser therapy,
special shampoos/conditioners, cleanser and vitamins.
After six months, Lindsay graduated from NHGI's hair growth program
and was happy with the results. The program had been a success for
Lindsay, and photos were taken to show her positive results - newly
grown hair. She seemed to be very pleased with the results. But
unfortunately, things turned ugly in a hurry. Lindsay went to the
local media, Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General and
complained that the program did not bring results for her. Lindsay
felt her money should be refunded in full according to the money back
guarantee offered by NHGI.
Steve Bennis, owner of NHGI, knew the positive results Lindsay had
enjoyed (with a new, full head of hair, healthy and shiny), and could
not justify giving her a refund. An article was published in the
Chicago Tribune in April 2008 by author Jon Yates about Lindsay's
alleged "negative" experience with NHGI. This article did harm to
Bennis' business and reputation. But fortunately on February 16, 2010,
a court of law ruled in favor of Bennis and his company.
According to Bennis, "The judge, Daniel T. Gillespie, also dismissed
all counts against me (Steve Bennis) and Natural Hair Growth
Institute. The judge found that there was no fraud and no deceptive
practices. By the end of the trial that lasted three hours, the judge
was convinced that hair re-growth is possible and that Steve Bennis'
hair growth programs are a success."
Court Findings:
A. The Court finds that:
1.) Defendant Natural Hair Growth Institute, Ltd.'s (NHGI) Client
Agreement (the Contract) was valid and enforceable under Illinois law;
2.) Defendant Steve A. Bennis, through his own life experience,
research and experimentation with various combinations of available
products, vitamins, massage, diet, exercise, and Low Level Laser Lights
cleared for the consumer market and use without prescription by the FDA,
crafted a customized "7 step" program that re-grows hair from existing
hair follicles on a person's scalp;
3.) The Contract is for this program, and not an agreement involving
the unlicensed practice of medicine;
4.) Defendants delivered to Plaintiff what was promised under the
Contract;
5.) During the 6-month NHGI program specified in the Contract, NHGI
stopped the Plaintiff's hair loss and re-grew thicker, stronger and
healthier hair from her existing hair follicles;
6.) Plaintiff received what was bargained for under the Contract;
7.) Defendants' promise to stop hair loss and re-grow hair from
existing follicles or provide a 100% money back guarantee if there is no
progress shown after completing the 6-month program, is not a common law
fraud, a deceptive practice nor otherwise a violation of the Illinois
Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act;
8.) This is a contract dispute on a valid contract, and therefore there
is no basis for unjust enrichment or promissory estoppel claims;
9.) Judgment is entered in favor of the Defendants on all Counts of the
Complaint.
