The interview as text

How did Dr. Doris Slongo come to YELASAI?

After the births of her children she experienced noticeable hair loss. She did not want to simply accept it, but she also did not want to take preparations with side effects. Through an advertisement she came across YELASAI's ayurvedic hair care, got informed and tried the products.

What did she experience with the hair course?

After just a few weeks she noticed that less hair was falling out. She then did a three-month hair course and has continued her care with the products ever since.

“After two months I noticed there was a kind of undercoat in my hair, like on sheep. Something is growing back – and then I knew it was right.”

Were there complaints about YELASAI during her time at Kassensturz?

None. As legal expert of «Kassensturz» and «Espresso», Dr. Doris Slongo answered hundreds of questions from the audience over 20 years.

“I never heard anything about YELASAI. There were no complaints.”

How does she view the 2016 Kassensturz report?

The report was based solely on the statements of a client who had stopped his care applications in an independent partner salon. YELASAI did not comment at the time. Dr. Doris Slongo later saw the data and images of this progress; the last images were taken three months before he stopped the care applications.

“Photo before, photo from when he stopped – there is a clear difference. The hair had become much better, the bald spot was much smaller.”

How does she rate value for money?

She considers it very good: YELASAI costs more than a supermarket shampoo, but it is worth it.

“When you consider what you get – that fullness of hair again – the price is really worth it.”

Would she recommend YELASAI?

Absolutely. She recommended YELASAI to a friend with thinning hair, who was delighted after just a few months.

“For me it was a revelation. I am very grateful that I got to know these products.”

The quotes come from the German-language video interview with hair growth specialist Aaron John Hale (Be Well Space, Zurich); they have been translated and lightly edited.
