TOO EXPENSIVE VITAMINS

For Karen Shelton, two thumbs up
and a couple of big toes, too!

Karen, never doubt that you are
a very important lady in the hair world.
Your site is truly amazing and you
have done an incredible amount of
work.

You can`t please everyone but by golly,
lady, you do a darn good job of trying!
I see nothing written that forces a customer
to purchase items from your site.

Happy to be a customer,
a reader,
a visitor to the boards,
and an admirer of your spirit!
(not to mention your gorgeous hair!)

Keep up the great work!

Karen Marie

I felt very bad for you when I read the posts from the people saying you were trying to coerce someone into buying hair vitamins. I know you are not like that from my own experience with you. I am not sure if you remember me but I met you in Los Angeles last year at the Working Woman conference. I asked you about my hair and how it was all dry and splitting. Not only did you stop and talk to me for 15 minutes about my hair problems you wrote up a on-the-fly table of products and instructions that you thought might work for me. Never mind that they were on a napkin. The suggestions were so helpful and detailed. Ironically none of the products you suggested were sold on your hair site. You recommended ARTec Smoothing and I tried it and my hair improved immediately. I think that anyone who met you or talked to you would know that you are a warm and very caring woman who sincerely wants to help. Thank you so much for your kindness and time for me. I have been coming to your site ever since last year and have picked up years worth of hair knowledge. My husband hates it when I come to HairBoutique.com because I keep him from his sports news sites on the web. :-) With Appreciation, Jessica Quinn

Hi Jessica,

I am so glad ot hear that the ARTec Smoothing worked for you. Thank you for your kinds words...I was blushing. :-)

Yes, I almost always write on napkins, papertowels, paperbags and you name it. I never seem to have a pen or paper when I need them the most. But then I seem to have too much of that stuff cluttering everywhere else. :-(

Best wishes,
Karen

Jesus! I can`t belive this. I thought it was unfair that noone told her of other vitamins, like GNC`s ultra nourish hair. Yes she did ask if it was worth it, but she wanted to know if there was any other vitamins, and i thought it was unfair that noone had suggested anything else, just H37 or whatever it is. There is no need to jump down my throat, i felt that it was unfair noone had suggested anything else. She DID ask, if there was another vitamin that can offer some of the same things for less. I was simply suggesting a vitamin i thought would suffice. I`m sorry if you guystook offense to this. I felt as though you were trying to force it onn her because no-one had suggested anything else.

I also thank Jeff for taking the time to help me out! Yes, I know that there are various things to buy to get your hair to grow...but for right now I think that the vitamins might be just what I need. I don't want to have to take a million vitamins when I can just take one from H37. I hope they work for me. If not.. I can always return them.

Hi Amber,

I have enjoyed getting to know you better. Thank you for the email today. You are a true credit to your generation. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

Karen did a wonderful job of explaining what the ingredients were and the amount in the product. Plus my I add that everytime I have ordered something from Karen and Jeff I had very good service. Never had any problems.

Hi Diane,

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Best wishes,
Karen

I have read posts where you tell folks not to buy something from the site because you don't think it would help them for some reason. It was very nice of you to offer Amber vitamins at no charge. You are a class act lady.

Thanks GodivaFan. You made my day. :-)

Karen

Also I would like to point out that, Karen, in NO way needed to apologize!!

Diane and Jane said it very well, Karen. I have never found you to be anything but polite and informative in answering ANYBODY`S questions without "forcing" somebody to buy a particular product. No need to apologize. You do a WONDERFUL job! :)

Hey Karen,
No need to apologize. You were just answering the lady Amber`s questions. I have never experienced you here as trying to push or sell anything. I have read posts where you tell folks not to buy something from the site because you don`t think it would help them for some reason. It was very nice of you to offer Amber vitamins at no charge.

Hi Jane & all,

My response to Amber above was definitely designed to answer Amber`s questions

and I specifically said:

"I realize that they (H37, HairTopia) are not for everyone and that the price may be too high for some. I respect that and understand that everyone has to do what is right for their own needs and pocketbooks"

If that sounds like I am trying to force, convince or coerce anyone to buy anything from me of the site, my deepest apologies. My goal was to give Amber the very best and most honest answer I could give about why the vitamins cost what they cost.

Amber, if you email me privately at shelton@hairboutique.com I will make sure you receive vitamins we currently have in our store at no cost to you as a way to show that I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am only sharing what I know from my own personal 15 years of hair growing experiences and from what I have heard from hundreds of people who have taken the various products.

It is hard to be able to give my honest opinion, which I know is mine and not everyone agrees, and yet not seem like I am trying to convince anyone of anything or trying to sell anything.

Also, we do list every single ingredient in the vitamins we sell and we encourage anyone to use the list to make their own formulas or buy whatever they feel is best for their hair whether it be $11 or $111 a bottle.

My apologies if this was misconstrued in any way.

Best wishes,
Karen
