Wen Hair Care
reviews and complaints

They just help their self to my Bank Account. Took whatever amount they wanted without my approval. I call this Theft beware do not make the mistake I did. I called their Customer Service number and the lady I spoke with said I'm sorry but we can offer you a 20 percent discount. REALLY what part do you people understand I want the money you basically stolen from my bank account. She kept rattling of we can do this we can do that come on hush and tell me who I need to speak with to handle your theft. Well guess what according to her there wasn't anyone to help me. So I go back on line log on to their web site and there it is my banking information so I was great I will just take it out then my information won't be stored WRONG ANSWER you can't delete payment information only add well what a KA-WINKE-DINK. THEFT ALL OVER IT, , BEWARE, BEWARE, and if anyone has experienced the same thing please email me at [protected]@gmail.com, I figure if we can get enough people together then we may be able to turn a complaint into the AG'S office. I feel I have been robbed. I live in Texas so if you want to file a complaint with me you must live in Texas.

I had purchased the full WEN hair care system via eBay. The main product that is boasted most (within the system) is the Cleansing Conditioners, for which my package contained the Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner. Chaz Dean touts that this particular product replaces the following five hair care products: shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner...For which in my honest opinion, these aforementioned claims are baseless, and are blatant LIES. My biggest complaint about this product is that it DOES NOT clean your hair! It is NOT a "cleansing" conditioner...It is simply a conditioner! First time I used it -- my mother had remarked to me, "Geez, when did you last wash your hair? It's looking very greasy." My heart sank...And I stared into my mirror and had agreed with her statement. My hair not only looked greasy...but felt greasy! So I tried it once again to see if the results would be any different, but to no avail were they as such. I even had my sister try it, and she had the same results: greasy/oily looking and feeling hair! So now I only use the WEN "Cleansing" Conditioner after I use regular shampoo. Oh and by the way...If you take a good look at Chaz Dean's hair...it has a greasy look to it. 'Nuf said.

This company is a sham! First of all i thought it would be a nice gift to give my sister for Christmas. There is a hidden membership that i did not see on the website when i ordered. I recieved a second box after i called to complain and let them know that my sister was not satisfied with the product because it made her hair greesy and fall out. They charged my account, and i called to cancel, they said they would send me a return postage and credit my account, i only recieved partial credit, but never recieved the postage to send it back. Then last month i recieved a third box, and i got fed up and called to speak with a supervisor, was not sent to a supervisor, instead the guy i spoke with said he had canceld my account, and would send a postage sheet, and once they recived the tracking number they would re credit my account. If i send this box back and do not get credited, i am thinking about submitting to the better buisiness burea, and filing a fraud claim...Fair warning to anyone wanting this product, do not order it!

I have asked several times for my account to be closed and yet still getting packages. I call to cancel tell them and they note they gave me a discount on future orders. I have over a year supply on hand and love the product. But I don't need any more for a while! DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! Call your credit card company if you have and do what you have to do to get them to block the company! If I ever need the product again I will get it from a third party like QVC.

This place is crazy! Not only did i cancel once online, but after numerous phone calls (That the last customer service rep could not seem to "find") they just billed me again this morning for yet another shipment. Mind you, i thought the shipments had finally stopped because it's been about six weeks. . . So just as i was heaving a sigh of relief *pop* there goes my email telling me that i've got a notification from my bank regarding another charge from chaz dean. Just so no one gets upset, i'm sure it's not chaz dean's fault. By all accounts he is a lovely person and would not hurt a soul, but this is making my blood boil and making me very unhappy towards him and his product line and his system. And the product was not a bad product, it was a nice product. It was a pretty product, i liked it. But i don't need it anymore. I've got maybe a ziillion bottles stocked up and won't ever need it again as far as i can see, and if i do, i know where to go. But please, people, stop billing me and sending me stuff i already have and do not want. I lead a super busy lifestyle like the rest of humanity working 12 hour days at a busy trauma hospital as an rn, in school full time to pursue my master's degree, and have a busy and fulfilling personal life, believe it or not. I'd much rather be doing something else besides writing on here regarding this, but hopefully me writing it will nudge the chaz dean people into figuring out a more streamlined way to cancel accounts and a way to stop sending stuff to people who have requested it to stop. Also, the helper on the phone was infuriating, she just kept repeating the same few sentences over and over, "unfortunately,. . . " folks, anytime a sentence starts with "unfortunately" you can bet you won't like the answer, and i sure didn't. I'm hoping the people who work for chaz dean monitor sites like this and will contact me regarding my problem. If not, i can always go to facebook and express my extreme dissatisfaction. Beware!

I ordered Wen in August of 2013. They sent me my order over a period of 4 weeks. Not only did I wait a while for this supposedly life-changing conditioner, but I found that when i used it, it made my hair greasy. Then when I tried to get my money back and prevent them from sending me more of their product, they did not have an option to talk to an operator or cancel my order. Surely enough, a month later they sent me more of this overrated conditioner, except this time they charged by 60 dollars. I was not going to waste 60 dollars on this conditioner, so I sent it back. Sure enough, the Wen company paid me back two amounts of 25 dollars. I am LIVID. After calling them TIME AND TIME again to try to cancel my order, I did not have the option to do so. I do not recommend that you purchase this product. They want to screw you for your money.

its states it is auto ship yes. however out of 5 charges, we received product twice. after cancelling - they then charged us again.
contacted mastercard - who have had many complaints about them - and are now in the process of (trying) to be refunded for the product we did not get - and the charges for product that was not shipped after we cancelled.
it is a scam in the sense they hope that you are rich enough to just not care what is charged - and only send you enough cr4p to make you think more is coming.
it is a total scam.

I have been on the automatic delivery program for some time now. I haven't been paying attention to the charges to my account because I thought this was a legitimate product and a legitimate Company, despit the fact that I am not overly impressed with the product. In order for the cleaning product to work, I have to leave it in much longer than I usually even shower. And the remaining products are all too heavy for my fine hair and all go straight to the trash. What I am most upset about, is that this Co, although they tell you that they will charge you every 28 days, they lie and then blame it on "unknown" stalls in your credit card. I had two months where I was charged twice. One month the charges were 6 days apart! I would never have agreed to pay over $70 in one month for crap products! I am so upset I fell for this SCAM! I have friends that use it and am telling them to cancel IMMEDIATELY!

Everything they are saying is true - this product STINKS! My hair felt dirty and disgusting and didn't look clean OR healthy. I cancelled my subscription and sent my product back and they continued to bill me 2 more times. I have contacted the company numerous times regarding getting my refund for product they received THREE MONTHS AGO! I finally filed a BBB Complaint and will be filing a charge back with my credit card company to get my money back. STAY AWAY FROM WEN!

I initially ordered the Wen haircare system, over two weeks ago. I was advised that in order to stop the auto ship, where you will be billed for three months of product $29.95/mo, you had to call within 30 days to cancel. After about two weeks, I noticed that our card hadn't been charged and I hadn't received any shipping notification. I called Wen, only to be told that the product I ordered was on back order and that there was NO WAY for the agent who took my first order to verify this. In anger, and because of their incompetence and having NOT sent so much as an email to inform me of any back order status, I cancelled my order! I was informed by a gentleman that my order was completely cancelled and I should not receive any charges...

Well, my hubby checked our account this morning and lo and behold, there's a charge from Wen pending! I immediately call the customer service number, and an agent named TAMMY tells me that, not only did they not have the ability to see back orders in their systems, the rep who cancelled my order, or so he thought, couldn't see that the back order was released and my order was probably being processed for shipping when I called on 12/17? REALLLY?! She proceeds to tell me they tried to cancel the shipping but couldn't, so the order was shipped on 12/20. I have NEVER received shipping confirmation and asked this inept agent, "What if that $29.95 was the last dollar I had in my account!?" Thankfully, it's not but Wen had not right to ship an order that I cancelled on the 17 on the 20! I also requested that the auto ship be cancelled as that apparently did not happen the last time I called either! Is this NOT a multi million dollar corporation? Why can't an agent see when a product is on back order, and if product is later found not readily available why wouldn't an email be sent to inform a customer that the order will be processed when the product becomes available?! The reps are VERY uninformed and incompetent, and I PRAY that my auto ship was cancelled appropriately! I've read other reviews, which have me scared that that might not be the case!

This online seller and distributer of the Wen Hair Care offers a 30 day trial and then send you bills for subsequent subscriptions without your knowledge. By the time you have figured out that you have been placed on a lifetime supply of the product, your credit card has been charged over $200! I had to call my credit card company to dispute the charges and to threaten my credit card company that I would cancel it if they didn't rectify the situation. THis company should not bea ble to operate, but at this point they have made all the money they need to so I am sure they do not care that their practices are unethical and violate consumer rights! I would not purchase anything from TV ads ever again as this experience was enough to send me back in to store line ups and higher prices so that I am not a victim again.

I used the Wen products for a month, and decided that I didn't want to continue with them. So, I called and asked them to cancel my account. They said they would. Months later, a box arrived with Wen products inside. I clearly hadn't ordered it; months ago I can cancelled my account. So, thinking that it was an "introductory offer" I gave the box to my daughter to try. Come to find out in another month that I hadn't "paid" for that box. So, I called again and explained the situation and said that I found that practice (sending another box months later, then asking me to pay for it) bordering on fraud, if not blatant fraud. I also wrote a long letter to Customer Service, expressing my disappointment with the company's practices, and saying that I would pay just to be done with them. So, now another two months have passed and now I get a bill in the mail (I had told them to charge my credit card for the unwanted box) for double the amount of the original box, saying that I was two months late in paying. I am putting the check in the mail because I do not want to deal with them ever again. If I were to call, I might regret my words. . . . Just an fyi

I ordered one installment of the WEN Hair Care Deluxe Replenishing Kit via http://www.wenhaircare.com/. I received the one installment, and the price of it was deducted from my checking account (30-day Supply - $34.95). Upon receipt of the product, there was literature inside the box stating I would automatically be charged and receive more supply. I called to cancel the account. I spoke to a representative who tried their very hardest to get me to stay or change my frequency of receiving the supply, of which I made it very clear that I wanted to close the account. She confirmed that she had done just that.

Recently, I received a statement stating I owed over $98 for a new supply of WEN haircare. I called the customer service line on the statement and spoke to a representative. I made it very clear that I would not be paying a dime. This was my second attempt at canceling the account and I had only agreed to receive and pay for only one supply of product. I told her I hadn't even used what I had received yet. She understood and stated she would cancel my account. She asked if I had received an other shipments of WEN products and I told her no. She said okay and stated my account had been cancelled.

Well, today, Oct 24, I receive a confirmation email for canceling my account and it stated that I might have an account balance and receive a bill. I called the customer service number listed in the email. The representative stated they sent out a shipment of product and I still owe on that. I told her I have not received anymore product then the one I initially ordered and that I would not be paying for anything I did not authorize, especially since I've attempted to close this account TWICE now. She said if I ever receive the product, to call and they will walk me through the return of it. I told her that I would not be paying anything and that if I receive it, I will place a return-to-sender label on it. I am not going to pay any additional shipping charges, nor will I be paying for something after requesting my account be closed.

I am not happy nor satisfied with the level of customer service I have received from Guthy-Renker's customer service department regarding WEN hair care products. If I do receive any more products, billings, or charges I will be filing a complaint with the BBB. I have requested, more than once, that my account be closed and that no products be shipped to me.

I purchased the Wen shampoo online for $29 a month. I seem to be getting billed $29 a month for the last 6 months but have only received 3 bottles total. Last month I was billed again $29 and received nothing. Today my account was debited $38 dollars, and I have not received any shipments for months! When I called to cancel I was told I signed up for 90 day shipments and still owed them money! They said there is a shipment somewhere out there on its way to me, and I could not cancel or received a refund until I received that shipment, and sent it back to them (they recommend by insured mail), then I would receive a refund within 6 weeks. The customer service lady was very aggressive, and would not let me speak. I finally got made and told her if they billed my credit card again after this date I would sue them. She yelled at me "you can't." I said I would at least make a report to the Attorney General's office. Bottom line, I will NEVER buy anything like this again. They have access to my bank account and seem to think they can bill whatever they want. I am going to the bank tomorrow to cancel that card, report unauthorized use, or close my account if I have to. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY, THEY GET YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER, THEN TAKE ADVANTAGE! No shampoo is worth this nightmare!

Ordered Wen Hair care, cancelled over the phone, representative told me she needed to take an additional payment to close the account which I agreed to, then I was charged another additional 2 months of payment (still looking to see if they charge a 3rd), called and the representative told me I had to pay extra for shipping and handling. None of it made sense. DO NOT DO business with this company. They totally over charge and do not try to work with the customer,

Tried the special introductory offer after seeing infomercial. Products were well priced with money back guarantee. Original supply arrived and was billed as advertised, trouble began with automatic renewals. Tried to change delivery schedule to once every 3 months - instead received THREE TIMES the product at THREE TIMES the initial price. Since I had to open package to check shipment, I had to not only pay return postage for the wrong order, my account has been charged each month automatically. Took four phone calls over 6 weeks to get partial money back. I was told they never received return shipment until I told them I had a signed return receipt; then they MIRACULOUSLY found my returned products within minutes. Very sleazy outfit. Bad business practices. I am still unsure if they have actually cancelled deliveries or if I'll have more money deducted from my credit card, and the issuing bank refuses to get involved. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I am a man who purchased Wen products for my wife as a one-time gift. We received Wen product and used it; although the product was OK, we decided that $40 per month was just too much to pay for this product. However, we had no idea that I had signed up for automatic billing and shipping via the internet. Imagine my surprise and (I'll admit) my outrage - and I mean outrage - when I found out that I had been charged for another shipment. I found this out when I found a new box of the product on my doorstep!

I called Wen and a woman with a foreign accent who spoke 85% English was not helpful. Then I called my bank and spoke to two women that spoke 100% English that were helpful but not advantageous. In short, I have to "jump through the hoops" of changing all my debit card numbers and accounts if I don't want this company to charge anything more to my account. This is a big pain in the rear-end, just to put it to you "waist high over the plate"! -- Good luck dealing with these crooked hucksters from Wen!

I never write reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary to warn everyone about this company and their product. First, this company is incredibly fraudulent. Everything you read about them locking you into a membership and continuing to charge your card, making it impossible to cancel when you call is true. Please be forewarned before ordering from this company. My experience resulted in attempting to call, getting a representative but then they ask why you did not like the product and transfer you to a line where you do not get a person to speak with. After calling back a few times, I insisted the first person cancel and recorded the call. He said he would and would send me an email verifying the cancelation. Guess what!? No email sent. I went to my bank and had the card used for payment cancelled... What a headache!
Now on to the product...

I used the product for two days before deciding not to ever touch it again. It did make my hair more shiny, less frizzy and it did feel conditioned root to tip and very soft. So these things are true. It did make my hair feel weighed down. I would have continued to use the product however by the second washing my scalp began to burn. There is quite a bit of menthol in the product. I believe everyone who has commented that the product made their hair fall out. I have not used the product for a week and my scalp still has a burning sensation. (And just to note, I have never had an issue w sensitive scalp or any chemical treatment including color.) Unless you have a scalp of steel, please be very careful and pay attention to how it feels if you chose to use this product. I believe with all my heart that if I had kept using, hair loss would result.

One good thing has come of all this! I stopped using Wen and started using Pureology, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- free shampoo (

On December 6, 2011 I ordered three, 30 day supplies of WEN Healthy Hair Care System for 29.95 ea. for a total of $89.85. This order was processed on line. By ordering this product I was to enter into an agreement that the product would be automatically shipped to me monthly. I called WEN telling the customer service person I was purchasing the product as Christmas gifts and did not want to enter into this agreement. I was told by WEN that I only had to call twenty four hours later and cancel. I then went back to the website to order and without realizing, I had mistakenly ordered twice. Again I phoned WEN on December 6, 2011 asking to cancel one of the orders. I was told that they could not see anything being process for at least 24 hours and to contact them in 24 to 48 hours to cancel.
December 8, 2011 I called WEN cancelling the automatic orders so I wouldn’t receive future product and to stop the extra order from being shipped. I was told it had already shipped and in order to receive a refund on the one unwanted shipment I was to just return the product.
January 7, 2012 unwanted order shipped back to WEN.
January 14, 2012 WEN received product.
January 12, 2012 a $104.84 transaction was in process of being removed from my account. I called WEN and talked to Robin, where I told her that the “contract” had been cancelled on December 8, 2011. I then requested that the transaction be stopped from being removed from my account (at this point it was “Pending Transactions”) and to cancel product delivery. I was informed by Robin they could not, but would refund my acct. in 3-5 business days. She also said she’d refund the $89.85 for returned product. Robin also stated that the $104.84 product had shipped. I informed Robin that it cost $11.65 for shipping the last return product and I didn’t want to have to pay again for the products return. I was told they would send a return label so there would be no extra expense to me.
January 16, 2012 I called WEN and talked with Nicole inquiring about the $89.85 refund for product returned, she said they hadn’t received it. I then told her it was received on January 14, 2012. Nicole told me it could take 3-5 business days after receiving product. She said the return should show by January 19, 2012.
January 19, 2012 I called WEN re: the $89.85 refund and talked with Mark. He said that it had been processed and sometimes the bank holds checks until cleared before placing into acct.
January 19, 2012 I called my bank nothing received.
January 21, 2012 the new product was sitting at the post office where I refused it, returning it to WEN.
January 23, 2012 I called WEN regarding the $104.84 and asked for supervisor, I was forward to Jeannie, accounts specialist-she informed me the process had not been done correctly and would take another 3-5 business days.
January 25, 2012 the amount of $89.85 was refunded into my acct.
January 31, 2012 I called and asked for Jeannie, accts specialist…she was very apologetic saying that there was a balance of $240 something and they removed $89.85 from balance? Jeannie said that the computer showed that 3 orders had gone out. After much explaining by me to get her up to date, she said it was “now corrected”…“Refund in 3-5 business days.”
February 1, 2012 I called and talked with Sandy, she confirmed that credit for $104.84 was made on January 31, 2012 to my acct. She also said that a refund of $14.99 was made in check on January 24, 2012? Refund for shipping? Not clear.
February 4, 2012 received check for $14.99. Still do not know what this is for.
February 5, 2012 received email confirmation of returned product.
February 7, 2012 the amount of $29.95 was refunded to my acct. so once again I called WEN asked for Jeannie accts specialist. Talked with Kelsey, Kelsey stated refund issued February 1, 2012 and that they show my bank accepted it. I told Kelsey as of February 7, 2012 my bank statement does not show a refund of $104.84. Kelsey said that if my bank doesn’t show refund by February 8, 2012 that I would need to show my bank statements showing it was not received.
February 8, 2012 Rachel acct. specialist said a check was issued on February 1, 2012 and could take 4-6 weeks to receive it. If not received by March 7, 2012 I was to call her. She said I had been misinformed all along and she was very apologetic.
February 13, 2012 another $29.95 was refunded to my acct.
March 7, 2012 I talked with Kelsey and told her the check had not been received. Kelsey said there was a hold on the check. Kelsey said the amounts of $29.95 refunded on February 7 and February 13, 2012 plus the $14.99 are the total refund. According to my calculations this shows that I am still owed $29.95. Kelsey became extremely rude when I tried to explain to her it was still not correct where she continued to cut me off and became belligerent telling me to let her finish her sentences. When I waited for my turn to talk Kelsey would interrupt me saying she already explained that. She said she showed no record of $104.84 being removed from my acct. and WEN showed only withdrawals for $29.95. WEN wants bank statements showing withdrawals before they’ll refund anything more.
March 13, 2012 went to my banks legal team for help on the remaining amount owed.
March 14, 2012 remaining $29.95 deposited into my account.
Do not try to work with these people (WEN customer service) go directly to your bank or credit union and let them deal with them. I find this company to be inept in their records and poor in their customer service! Any product covered under Guthy-Renker is going to leave you unsatisfied with their customer service. My daughter received Pro-Active through this company and had to cancel her credit card to stop the product shipments.

This company will needs to be reported to the FTC. There are many complaints and as I read them, they match mine perfectly. They are not following the guidelines regarding the FTC and they are stealing money from many consumers. If you get ahold of anyone in their customer service department, they respond very friendly and assure you that it has been handled. Do not believe them. The only way to get something done is to report them to the proper agency. A few years ago there was another company that did the same exact scam and the FTC knows all about these types of scammers. You must file a formal complaint otherwise they will not know and therefore they will not do anything.
Go to Ftc.gov and file the complaint.
Have a great day!
