I gain 2-3 kg of my weight which was permanent loss i gain that immediate after joining session...... & they even not reply me about it I leave withing 20 days other wise instead of loss 7 kgs I gain 7 kgs

One employee in VLCC has stolen my Purse which contains three debit cards and cash of Rs.2000. but no one was bothering there about my purse. they didn't even suggested me for any remedy.

I hav got my hair straightend from vlcc. due to their wrong process of ironing.
Due to that my hair fall and breakage started and I visited to many doctors for the trartment and they told that it is due to hot ironing that they hav done. I wanted to bring this to the notice of the owner of the particular branch{bilaspur branch} but she is also not ready to listen to my problem
so now I hab decided to take legal actions on her

I have deposited Rs 40000 to VLCC for some services out of total amount of 70000 but because of some reasons I could not avail those services and next day I have called them for the same. At the time of depositing money nobody told me deposited money will not be refunded at all. Now they are telling it has been written on bill so we will not refund money but in spite of that you can user our services for the 40000 at any time in next 6 month or year. We can give you a note for the same. Now I want to know can I get money back or not.
Kindly Help

Iam waiting since more than 15days to get the vlcc service, but iam failing to get an appointment inspite of full advance payment of the same.

The reason they ar egiving is the product not available

I took facial hair reduction package from VLCC last October. They promised guranteed hair reduction in 6 sittings. I paid 25 K for the package which included laser plus glycolic peels. I have taken 8 sessions now and still there is not considerable reduction. I also felt that the sessions were not done with the intention to show goos results so that I buy their extended sessions. On last day Doctor did not did it properly and told me that it might require 5 more session which will cost 10 K more!!!!
There have been lot of instances durng this time frame of 1 year which shows how careless and unprofessional and uneducated they are.
1. Doctor sold me laser with glycolic peel, while during laser glycolic peels are not advised
2. Doctor told me to come with full hair growth and if I feel bad about it I can cover it using bleach, which again should not be doen with laser
3. I told in the beginning I have PCOS and have extremly sensitive skin, after first session of glycolic peel they told me that my skin is sensitive and I would need some other peel which is 1500 rupees more than glycolic peel. I told them this in the starting that my skin is senstive, then why they have sell me something which they know will not suit my skin
4. At the end of the session, when doctor did not see much improvement, then she asked if I have PCOS, which i told them before buyoing the package. She said that people with PCOS do not show good results!!! Then why did they sell the service to me!!!

I feel completely cheated. After spending 25 K again I will be dependent on threading or other means of hair removal as this may help after 5 more sessions....which again is a big question....

Last time i submitted a complaint here about VLCC and the failure in their Laser treatment. After that they called me just to supress me, saying our head office is working on your issue. After that there has been no calls from VLCC> They are very sad. I will bring it to the newspaper very soon with evidence. Even on this website i will post some pics for evidence.

Gayathri

My name is Gayathri from Bangalore. I went to VLCC cunningham road and got myself registered for full face laser treatment(hair removal) . I got in touch with the branch manager Jyothi and she put me to this Dermatologist Dr.Arun Kumar. They said within 7 sessions you will have no hair, no matter however sensitive your skin is and blah.. blah... I agreed and got enrolled for it and weight reduction.

Forget 7 sessions even after 10-11 sessions my hair on the face didnt decrease instead started increasing. I used to complain it to Dr.Arun right from the 3rd session. He said it will reduce gradually and asked me to razor my hair and not thread or wax it. I did the same until 10th session and still doing it, unfortunately. When complained Dr.Arun named a biiiiig medical term to it and asked me to get my haromonal tests done. I got all those tests done spending Rs. 5,000/-. The tests were normal. Then Dr.Arun put me to Vibhuti Sharma, who was the head that time. She met me and advised me to go for some more sessions and i agreed. But even that went vain, because there was no results at all. I agree results might vary from person to person, but there cant be no results at all.

Then when asked for re-imbursement Dr.Arun cleverly escaped saying, i cant do anything, but you can avail other services. I said no at that time. Then i got in touch with Mr.Sabu Paul, who was the head of South India at VLCC. He then passed the buck to Dr.Gitanjali, from corporate, who considers herself very smart and spoke to me for half an hour on the phone saying your hair growth is reduced. I dont know why you are saying like this, we cant reimburse your money as that is not VLCC's policy. Instead of consoling me she was so rude.

Then i again called Sabu paul so many times and said if not my money give me some services. He sends me an RUDE SMS saying : " We cant give you any services, as you have availed all the services" There was not even one apology note in his SMS. How sad of people representing VLCC at this level, talking like this? Cant even imagine.

Hence planning to file a law suit against VLCC for the insult, cheating and Embarassement they put me on. I feel so embarassed to walk with so much of hair on my face now. I am not going to spare them. I am putting this on all leading newspapers.

This complain is regarding the false commitments made by VLCC,pitampura branch New delhi.Their tag line"Shaping your confidence does not suit them as they are best in killing anybody's confidence.The maion objective of this complain is not compensation but to make people aware about the false commitments which they make can completly ones health forever.

I personally had experienced the same one year back.I came to VLCC to get rid of my minor tanned skin and Ms.Kavita Manager,VLCC Pitampura branch advised me to have glycolic peels without letting me know that these peels can burn your skin completely.Dr Sachdev gave me 10 sessions on hands and now its like one can see those visible dark patches on my hands forever.I went several times there,cried in front of them but there is only one thing which matters to them the most is MONEY.

So,One should learn from my experience and should keep a ban on these type of services given by the VLCC institute.

Attention : Complaint of worst service of Bridal makeup on marriage day.


Sir/Madam


I am greatly unsatisfied and furious with the irresponsible and worst service provided by VLCC makeup artist to the Bride on her marriage day. I booked VLCC to cover marriage of my brother wherein they were supposed to provide Bridal makeup on 26th May and 27th May. They urged me to pay the entire amount in advance which was 33000 Rs. I paid 90% of the amount in advance. Both the day the makeup artist came with a trainee and was in rush. The trainee was incapable of doing any work as she was totally inexperienced. He didn’t carry basic instruments like hair dryer , nail paint remover, nail paint, etc. The product used were non standard ones. The commitment given to me was that there would be four makeup artists coming down to Khandala were the marriage was organized and they would be carrying all branded cosmetics like Mac and Crayon but to my surprise there were two person to cover the ceremony carrying non branded and incomplete products which resulted in a skin reaction to one of my guests. The makeup artist was inexperienced in getting the Bride ready. He told bluntly on the marriage day while getting the bride ready that he cannot wrap the Chuni of bride as he have never wrapped heavy Chunis and designer Sarees. Proclaiming this he sat and told the bride to call her relatives if they can wrap the Chuni and make her ready. He ran through the makeup portion in a haphazard manner showing his deep negligence towards his assigned work. When questioned on this he spoke in an uncultured manner as if he was obliging us. The bride was placed in an extremely awkward situation as she was getting delayed for the ceremonies. Moreover adding to this the extreme tragedy happened when the makeup of the Bride came out completely in not less 15 minutes. The bride requested the makeup man to stay back for 15 min so that he can give a final touch up to which the makeup man agreed. But when given a call he didn’t respond and it was discovered than that he left the place without informing anyone. For the Bride this act from a renowned brand like VLCC caused immense mental harassment as on such a special day of her life she witnessed such horrible experience.

After the marriage I called up the VLCC outlet at Malad West and spoke with Dr Sunita and Shikha but didn’t get a proper response from their side. I had to chase them by calling up again and again as they were not replying my call, finally I called them from a different number wherein I was successful in catching hold of Dr Sunita. I narrated the entire experience to which she gave a cold reply giving illogical reasons. She went on saying to me that because you didn’t pay the remaining 10% amount you got such a service. I argued with her putting my case that the service rendered didn’t even match 90% of what I paid to you. As a consumer if I am paying I expect service in return which was not at all rendered here. There was a sheer wastage of the hard earned money.

I request Consumer forum to take a Strict Action against VLCC and give justice to the case.

Very poor, Actually ridiculous. On 30/07/2007 i came to vlcc for eyebrow hair reduction and consulted Dr Smitha and she assured me that the hair will never come back after six session, and Dr anupama did the laser for me. after 5 session also hair in my eye brows was same as it was earlier. dr anupama said once the 6th session is over then it will not come. But while doing my 6th session she burned my face above the eyebrow. the marks of the burn still there. then i got angry over this they were saying this is part of the session. what is this we come to vlcc to look good not to get burn marks in the face. then they told me to meet branch in charge Dr anju she only gives me the ointments name i have bear all the charges for the fault done by the vlcc inexperience staff, first she prefer me silver x then marks didnt go i came back again she gave me another name ritino a aagain same thing glyco a. i got fed up with this and she said like it will take some time, till now i have the marks. eye brows still like that only and marks as well. this is very pain ful experience and physically and mentally. i want solution for this and i except some serious action for this from higer managment.No pk/012889. Package no[protected]. i paid some 7000/-rs . i lodge the complaint in vlcc customer service but they too are helpless and no response at all.

I submitted about 9000/- Rs. to VLCC, Koramangla, Bangalore. I asked them about my timing and kid issues, they assured we'll take care. But on next day when I went to their centre, they wasted my time. I am not happy with their services. After discussing them to refund my money. They replied - they do not have any REFUND Policy. This case reached to VIBHUTI SHARMA (South Zone Head). She also replied not to refund money.
So please be careful with VLCC. Because CONSTITUTION can be amend but VLCC policy can't.

I had taken package for tummy tucks , arms tucks & weight loss from VLCC Noida Branch. At the time of taking the pacage they assured of results with 5+5+5 sittings .But inspite of repeated procedure for three times in six months i found no results neither in weight nor in inches loss as promissed at the start. In Sept i had asked for refund of my money they replied its not possible. If i have no effect of there treatment i want my money back. I had send three reminders but all in vain. They insisted that it is not as per their policy. But i want my money back which is 13,890/-. paid on 22/04/2009 vide receipt no-pk/012556.

Respected Sir,
This is to inform you that i took one package from vlcc for face treatment which costed me 19000rs for 20 sittings.10 sittings for gylocilic peel and 10 sittings for face firming.I took 19 sittings and my one sitting was left.I didnt get any results which were being promised to me at the time of taking the package and i was not in delhi so i was not able to take the last sitting when i came back to delhi and went there they refused to give me the sitting and they told me that now its expired at the time of taking the package i was never being informed that those sittings comes with the expiry date.I felt as if i am being cheated.at Vlcc they make false promises because they want to take money out from customers pocket once they get the package cost they ignore the customer and concentrate on bringing new customers.The treatment that i got from them was gud for nothing.I was being charged so much and what i recieved????Nothing

Hi,
I am Pooja Khanna. I Joined VLCC SLIMMING CENTRE Ranjit avenue amritsar. They promise me to give a permanent weight loss of atleast 7 kgs.upon their strong recomendation. i joined vlcc. paid around 24,000.
hardly reduced 2 kg of my weight which was nt permanent loss i gain that immediate after leaving session.
they usually check weight before sessions and after sessions. If Before sessions my weight is 62.350gms
then after session they tell to go to restroom first then check your weight. its an obvious reduce of near 150 gms after u get back from washroom.and next day if such loss is recovered then they blame us that you dont have your diet properly and all that stuffs.. and also say if once weight will be recovered it will less from your target weight. They did not tell this before. I seriously want my money back,. Can anybody help.

Hi,

I am Akanksha Agrawal and I joined VLCC Patiala in second week of May, 2009. I am highly dissatisfied with their service and the reasons for the same are as follows:-
1. The day I joined VLCC, I was told of a package (50% off) with certain complementary services. The whole package was as follows

5 tummy tuch
5 hip tuck
5 thigh tuck
2 body therapy
1 hair cut
1 VLCC facial
10 kgs weight loss

1. This was the package told to me in Rs.17000 all inclusive. And I told Mrs.Ravneet that I'll be here in Patiala till July, 20th. Now, there were two staff Ms Harkeerat and Mrs. Ravneet. Initial consultation was given to me by Mrs. Ravneet but the day I came to deposit my first installment of cash of Rs.7000 and confirm my final package...above was stated by Ms. Harkeerat and henceforth I deposited the cash amount. When they gave me the receipt of Rs.7000, I found package amount to be Rs.17500 which was Rs.500 more than what I was promised by Ms. Harkeerat. The receptionist said it was just for the books and I need not pay Rs. 500 extra. But still I found this practise unusual and not right and hence I made a note on the receipt that Rs. 10000/- was due only and not Rs. 10500/-.

2. The next day when I came for my FIRST session, Mrs. Ravneet started shouting on me that this is not possible. You'll have to pay Rs.17500 which I said wasn't what was promised to me. Ms. Harkeerat promised me something else which Mrs. Ravneet wasn't agreeing to. I never had asked Ms.Harkeerat to consult with me...but since Ravneet wasnt available she did so. The staff has no cordination between themselves and then they blame the customer for it.

3. Mrs. Ravneet told me that she cannot write this package on the books(my VLCC book that they maintain) because its a huge package and she'll be questioned on that and hence it will be a personal thing between her and me. I initially didnt agree to her but she assured that she'll make sure that my package will be complete and nothing less will happen than promised. I still kept telling her that its better you write it on the book because if by chance she leaves the job who will cater. She didnt bother much on that and I also forgot.

4. Till may end I had received not even a single tuck session but whenever I came they gave me weight loss session.

5. When my first tuck session was scheduled...When I reached ...I was told its cancelled. I said you should have informed me beforehand and a lame excuse that they were trying my cell but couldnt reach me was given.

6. Also, the dietician when I consulted her told me that Mrs, Ravneet has registered me in a wrong package for my body, I should have taken the package of Body Therapy and not this for that wa more appropiate for me. When I told Ravneet about the same, she said this is also good enough for you. I dont understand whose advice to follow and whose not in the SAME VLCC CENTRE.

7. Now, when suddenly I was told from my company people people to shif to Mumbai in 10-15 days time. I told the VLCC Centre people about this..They adviced me to complete my package within a week by daily giving me tuck seesions. I found this highly inappropiate and asked them whether good results will come or not...they assured me that result will be good enough. But during that week I found not even 1 kg weight loss from my body and felt highly unsatisfied. I stopped going and then had to go to mumbai so I told Ravneet that I'll be back to complete my package.

8. Now when I am back, they say I have used Rs.5600/- of my package which I totally disagree with. They have included charges for a Body therapy which was given to me complementary. Ok, even if I agree to that, they have charged me for 2 kgs weight loss which was actually 1.6kgs. They say they cant charge for 1.6 kgs so they have charged for 2 kgs. I totally disagree on this for every gram I loose has a cost so why not the 400 grams that I havent lost???

9. I have been trying to contact Ms. Harkeerat since day before but she seems to be very busy and never returned my call only till yesterday when she called to tell me that I have used Rs.5600 of services which when I disagreed to ...she hardly bothered to justify me.
Then I told her to give me some VLCC slimming product if you cant return my money..she disagreed. I asked give me some beauty package but she said...she will confirm and call back. She never called back and when I called today she disagreed to this also.

10. The Centre people know that I am not going to stay for long and hence wont be able to take tuck session which is totally a waste of money if taken daily and hence they are avoiding me by not given back call or finding a solution to pay me back the extra money that they have of MINE. They say they cant give it back to me. This means they will keep this Rs.1400 which is actually far more according to me in their pockets for NO SERVICE. This is my hard earned money and I dont want to waste even a penny without a reason.

I have enlisted all my problems above and expect a compensation for all the troubles that this centre has caused to me and the misguidance and miscommitment that was given to me.

There was a response from the company but they agreed for Rs.1400 services for me to avail in Mumbai. This is not at all near to what I have availed.

I was given two options:
1. To use my amount for beauty/slimming treatment
2. transfer this amount to VLCC in Mumbai if I join.

Now, the first option isn't possible because I have already left Patiala. I kept telling Ms. harkeerat that I'll be leaving within two days and she never did a back call. Was using DELAYED TACTICS.

For the second option, I am going to Vashi and if there is a VLCC there then only can I use this amount there. And after such a bad experience I hardly can think of going back to VLCC Centre again.

Also, the amount claimed by them Rs.1400 is far less than what services i have used.Beacuse-
a. Only 1.6kgs were lost for which they charged me for 2 kgs
b. 1 Body therapy was given complementary to me initially, later they charged me for that.
c. I was given continous tuck session 4 in a week which resulted in no weight loss. But still they kept advicing me for more tuck and wanted me to come daily to just finish off the package.
d. Since in that week there was no weight losss as compared to 4 tuck sessions, they themselves gave me a Body therapy instead and charged me for that. I told Ms. Harkeerat about the same but she hardly listened.

After such a bad experience I expect refund of the RIGHT AMOUNT. Also compensation for all the trouble and misguidance given to me in terms of package selection, lots of tuck given continuously which led to no weight loss and for taking a customer for granted.
