Mich gave a free facial to me sometime last month at New York Skin Solutions.
“You must call them to make appointment, they are very busy one,” she told me.
My ‘beautician’ explained my skin type and what she would do while scanning my face with a eye-scope and displayed the images in the notebook screen. Eeek! Lots of clogged pores, dirt (a lot of standing, waiting for bus?), oil and blemishes.
The reception area appeared small but according to my beautician, “There are 22 room here,” when I asked her. The walls are in navy too so it’s quite dark but the rooms are in beidge or white – couldn’t really tell.
Each room has a bed, a sink with automated hot / cold water (convenient for facial & massages), a mirror and hanger for your clothes. Most of the customers would have a machine brought in for facial. There is a loose garment to wear because there’s shoulder & neck massage. Some of the products are applied there too.
The facial would take about 1 1/2hr – 2hrs. For my pimples with oily skin, I was:
- cleansed
- 2 masks
- pimples, blackheads & whiteheads extraction
- brief face & shoulder massage
It was very relaxing – I almost fell asleep. Except the extraction part. 2 cotton pads were put over my eyes to protect them from the light onto face. And I suspect to absorb my tears. After the facial is finished, I was brought to the same room as the screening again to check results. Really, cleaner and fresher. There was less red marks from the pimples retraction compared to Praise Beauty.
Then she introduced the facial package. RM2000 for 10 facial sessions and 50% discount on skincare products. Aha! It was too expensive for me. Seeing my reluctance, she offered another package – RM1000 for 5 facial sessions and 3 products in full size (cleanser, toner, moisturizer).
“Let me think first,” I told her.
“You must sign up today. The promotion is not valid on another day.”
Wah, shit. This is how New York Skin Solution capture you.
“You also get 3 free facial vouchers for your friends each month.”
Next time, I’m going to research all freebies and jobs/companies at Online Consumer Community Portal!
London Weight Management (formerly Sensualite Slimming),
New York Skin Solutions (formerly Giant Ginseng) & Yun Nam Hair Care belong to same Singaporean HQ: all 3 companies use same hard-selling tactics, same operation. There have been cases filed against them at the consumer tribunal for misleading advert, unethical business practices, cheating etc. You can read those horror stories under consumer messages headings “Yun Nam Hair care” & “London Weight Management Sdn Bhd”.
My beautician also recommended Collagen drink to detoxify and have more energy – there’s a promotion of Buy 2 Free 1 for April. 1 pack is RM180. I didn’t buy it. She persuaded me to take it but I insisted not to.
The point is:
YOU CAN SAY NO and LEAVE.
By the time I reached home, the red spots were apparent! I thought we shouldn’t get scars from facials! But after a day or two, I noticed my skin was better and no more red spots.
Resolution:
- Learn to say NO more often
- Eat more Vit C & fruit
- Drink more water
- Shit more
- Exercise and manage stress
Update 10 Jul 2007
When I searched online in Google for “New York Skin Solutions”, I found:
This post is at 2nd place! No wonder I get lots of hits on this post :) Thanks for visiting – hope the skin care did help your skin.
I scrolled down… down for the company’s website. When I wrote this post, I couldn’t find its official website. Now, I found it at 2nd last of 1st page:
http://www.newyorkskinsolutions.com
“New York Skin Solutions is a reputed skin care brand from the United States.”
Whoaa. From US? Reputed? If it’s really from US, then why there’s no brand called New York Skin Solutions in US?! Nobody has heard of it – except Malaysians and Singaporeans!
In Malaysia, 1 of the ads are here.
The appearance of Milia is usually an indication that you’re using a product that could be unsuitable for your skin.
– New York Skin Solutions – Skin Problems – 8. Oil Seeds and Milia
I was using New York Skin Solutions skincare – cleanser, toner and moisturizer for acne skin and I have smaller oil seeds below my eyes-nose area ever since I changed to other brand cleanser. So its products are causing oil seeds and not helping my skin.
I’m thinking of getting back my money too. How?

I tried them too a while back for free – the hardsell turned me off totally as well as the unfriendly attitude. I read their staff turnover is very high and they are pressured to earn their commission through sales and bring in a certain target. Needless to say, I’ve never been back.

I went to New York Skin Solutions (Penang)too for the 1st time facial promotion at RM40. I was told the facial actual cost is RM200+.Then, the beauty consultant persuaded me to sign up a package. I was so stupid at that time. It burnt a hole in my pocket. The package cost RM12000+, with 50% discount. Needed to pay RM5000+. I was so tempted because my face was having quite a serious of blemishes/pimples.I really desperate already. After 18X treatment, my face get better but the pores and scars still so obvious.
One day, a so-called “specialist” from KL visited Penang branch and I was invited to have skin check-up with her. She is so rude ! What the heck. Asking me to sign-up another facial treatment for my pores and scars to get a baby-face skin. I said I need to think. But she keep on forcing me to decide on the spot. I tell her I got financial constrain and she suggested me to call my bf and asked him to pay for me. The “specialist” said this is what a bf need for. Need to fully utilize him. Then, I told her not everyone is like her and walked out. The bloody hell “specialist”. As a beauty specialist saying something soooo unprofesional.
Later, my consultant (who’s doing the facial for me everytime I visit NY Skin) apologized to me.

Let me tell you about my experience. I signed up for a package. Upon one of my later visits, the consultant who treats me was on assignment at another outlet. Another consultant attended to me and insisted that my face was bad and I needed to upgrade to have extra vitamin C and collagen treatment. I was reluctant at first to pay an additional RM1200+ citing financial constrains. She then offered to reduce the package to RM830 with monthly payment credit card. Aha, when the chit was given to me to sign for the payment, I found that they had charged me RM1000/-.
I am just going to finish up what I have already paid for and certainly will not sign up for additional facials.

Hi MJ,
Yeah, it’s the RM5k package. The price was on the leaflet in conjuction with their new opening in Penang Branch.
Sometimes, they do reduce the price for you in the package,depending on the branch manager. If they have the authority or maybe discount voucher with them, they will give the discount. You gotta ask them.
They also asked me to upgrade my package, but I am not the beginner anymore. I said NO, no matter how they persuade me.
Just wanna finish up the course & find other better place.
They even tell me I will get the “baby skin” everyone would wanted if I upgrade the package.I told them to deduct the remaining course I haven’t go for it and use the $$ for the “baby skin” stuff.Why they didnt straight away recomend me this package when I first sign up. Now, they said the remaining $$ is not enough.I don’t believe in them anymore.

Finally, just to make sure we sign up, they give some more discounts!

Yes – the whole routine with the ultrasound/whatever, and they tried to get me to sign the ‘agreement’ to do the facial – I read the fine print – it actually says you agree to whatever package the beautician puts together and the price is variable – that gives them carte blanche to do whatever! And that’s b4 the facial.
Then after the facial, the beautician tried to press me into a RM3500 package, then reduced to RM2000, etc, ‘this is available only today’, etc, etc. I smiled and said ‘don’t push me, I think your products may not be legal’ and she hurried me off after that, minus any signed packages. Sad to say, a week after that I have huge angry pimples on new areas of my face!

I was surprised to find that your website tops the “official” website of NYSS.
Needless to say… my experience itself was the same as most of you people. RM48 which includes a “3-hr facial + travel kit + RM300 voucher”. The facial was a pleasant one. Soon after, the beautician unveiled her fantastic marketing skills. I was only given 2 choices: pay 1 shot for the RMxxxx package, or easy payment. This NYSS is cunning enough not to let you have the third option of saying NO. I find them utterly irritating, and kept nodding my head whether I listen or not while focusing on the blank table, hence I don’t even remember the price of the packages they quoted. Walking out the beauty parlor, I’ve no regrets paying RM48 for a mere 1.5 hour facial (the rest of 1.5 hr is crap talk). NYSS had just mold me into a tougher person. For me, it’s a 1.5 hr lecture of “various ways to say NO”. The beautician gave me a 3-day period to reconsider. Boy, I couldn’t wait to give them a 1.5 hr lecture too.
Salons such as Clara or Dermalogica do not tick ppl off. They merely informed you of their promotions and are not pushy. I’m more than willing to revisit these salons or splurge my money on established facial products. Sorry NYSS, my RMxxxx goes to them, and not YOU.

would like to share my experience too…
Went down to a new york skin solutions branch in singapore with my friend after much temptation by my colleague (She said that there was a free trial, and i was eager to try it out since my skin condition is pretty bad)
The skin consultants there were really pushy! Promoting their packages to us. Slashing the prices to S$500 for my friend and I respectively. They put it in a pretty manner ” Your skin is really bad, you have to consider it, tell us ur budget and we are willing to help you.”
MY FOOT…
We rejected their repeated attempts and we even wanted to give up on the “free trial”…citing financial difficulties…
The consultant, nt giving up, asked us to check our balance in our atm cards…You may think that the ordeal is over since we might be able to got out of the shop to check our balance…But this did not happen!!!!
The consultant got us to check our balance IN THEIR shop!
This is unethical and a check with their so called other branches shows that they so called dont carry such practices to check the customers’ balance in the shop..
“No we dont do it.” <—their claim
We were not allowed to even go to the toliet together!! This is to prevent any one of is slipping away and to ensure they DO close a deal…
We were both cornered in a small room with TWO consultants hovering infront of us like some vultures…
My friend and I had not much choice but to sign up. Anyway, we thought that it should be reputable and since the consultants has slashed so much of the pricings, it should be rather worth it…
We paid 300 bucks each and we totally regretted it.
NOT ONly did we lose our money over their scram…
my friend’s face became swollen after it…She had to see a doctor and fork out another 100+ to make the swollen go down…
I really lose trust over its products which they claim that it will make wonders to the skin…They even claim that my friend’s swolleness was not due to their products…
It is VERY hard to get a refund.
” Every company has its rules” my consultant said!
RIGHT….The decision has to be made from the top management..
the manager and the staff are freaking defenseless over it…
After 2-3 days,
they told my friend to produce a letter from the doctor to get a refund..This does not include the GST paid to them…
As for me, they cant do anything about it and they said they can only exchange the money for products..

My skin got so bad that every time after my session i complaint to my beautician! i requested for a refund, but to no avail. They intended to replace my remaining two sessions with products or more free upgraded acne treatments. I rejected both as i found their products are not working for me and their extractions are doing well from the result on my skin! at last they replaced my last two sessions with very-expensive-scar-treatments (RM500++ each). But i have not go for the two treatment anyway.
I ended up spent more money to sign up for acne treatments elsewhere to clean up the mess they’ve done to my face. My skin got a lot better now but visible scars left on my skin. :(

I went to New York Skin Solutions because I take part in the so called competition by answaering a question after a show in channel 8. I initially thought that is was good so I took part in the competition. As I thought they will help me in my acne problem. As you know woman are mostly vain. Surprisingly I actually wom myself a $300 vouchers. When the person called me and told me about it and asked for my age. When I told them I am 17 the person told me that I have to bring my mother along. So my mother and I went for the treatment as my mum also have some skin problem.
When we reached there we were bought to a small room which so called a consultation room. The two consultant did a face scan and told me that my skin has many problem such as clogged pores, sensitive skin uneven skin tone and enlarged pores. When I heard that I was so shock then my consultant told me not to worry she will help me solve all this problem and persuade me to signed up for their package. My mum and I were reluctant at first and so they keep persuading us and told us that if we do not signed up for the package on that day itslf the next time we signed up for the package will cost us about $1000. So after hearing that we signed up for the package. The package cost me $500 without GST and my mother also signed up for the package at the same price.
As my first treatment is free and they try to tell me how good it is to give me confident. They help my mum to remove oil clogs using laser then after that her consultant told my mum that she need to buy placenta which cost $180/small bottle but as we are first timer they will give us a discount of 50%. My mum initially did not want it but her consultant really talks very well and have convincing skills and she scare my mum that if she don’t buy the placenta her eye area will have a very big scar after removing the oil clogs. So after hearing it my mum bouught 5 bottles which cost her $450. After the treatment the consultants gave us a piece of paper stating there they will help us solve all our skin problem by signing up for the package, they also ask us to sign in like signing a contract.
Two weeks later we went for our first facial. After the facial the consultants bought us into the consultation room again. This time they told us to upgrade our package as my consultant say my ance problem is very serious by upgrading my package she will give me don’t know what mask and use machine to inject something into my face to cure my acne problem, as I am a student my consultant told me that I will be entitled to a student price which cost $1300. After hearing that large amount I told her no but she keep convincing me until I say yes. My mum also signed up for a eye treatment package as her consultant told her that her eye problem is aging. After we signed up for the upgrading package my mum consultant persuade my mum to buy whitening essence to treat her pigmentation my mum did not want it at first but after her long convincing talk my mum bought it again.
This facial treatment cost me about $1500 which burnt a big hole in my pocket as I am only 17 I am still schooling so this really cost me heart ache for my money. My mum also spend about $2000 for her package. Now she keep nagging about it how can a facial treatment cost so much.
We feel that we were cheated. The Consultant in NYSS certainly have the glib and they are convincing. I think this is how NYSS earn money.
I will be going for my first upgrade treatment next week. Hope that after 10 treatment, I will have the beautiful skin I desired as my consultant promised.
I am to blame to cause my mum and myself to spend so much money just on our face.
This is the price to pay for being vain. How I wish I can take back both my mother and my money.
If the treatment is not good after the 8th session. I think I will complain to CASE

I think other than Joanne’s RM8000 package, mine combined package was the most expecsive. I received the same “treatment” like you all got.
Some time in April, a friend of my gave me a free trial facial worth RM280 at NYSS and I was told that must go and try, don’t waste it… (later I found out because if a new person signs up a package, the introducer will get a free facial as a thank u token), therefore, I went to give it a try.
But the nightmare has started when the nice, free treatment was over. The consultant was hard-selling their top service of course including their computerised skin check machine.
The consultant kept pushing me to sign up a 10 times package cost RM4000. I said no no, no $$. But I was not allow to leave as the consultant told me the facial she did for me was RM400 and not RM280. So I have to pay the balance if i go. Then she gave a discount for the package if i sign 15 times.
I was only given a choice to make full payment or easy-payment for the RM4000++ package (after discount). Yea, she said she was “kind” enough to give me a “free gift – free 3 times facial”. Ended up forced to sign up the package.
1st treatment – safe!
2nd treatment – force to buy a bottle of shooting gel. RM200++
# 3rd visit – try a new product (something like double radiant) with discounted price of RM300. Ended up must pay RM200 deposit to book this new package for a discount price.
4th visit (supposed to be 3rd teatment) – Must sign the new 10 times package cost RM6500 (after discount is RM5000++) because consultant had started the new package without my permission.
Conculsion, from early July till mid-sept, I have to spend RM4000plus + RM5000plus.
Can anyone tell me who can have a total saving of RM10,000 in 3 months?

I was watching this NYSS promotional program on TV and was keen on having my wife try out the promotinal offer. The TV show looks promising, so I thought of having her to try out this new service and product. However, upon googling, your site seems to come off tops on the PageRank rather than the official site itself, so you have some validity with your comments here.
With such a plenty of negative comments, I’m relating to my wife as she is preparing dinner on all the customer’s poor experiences with NYSS, regardless in Malaysia or Singapore. But to say it as negative statements is rather much being very humble; I personally think it is outright scary.
With this my wife is staying back with Leonard Drake Dermologica (LDD) with one of the prominent shopping malls in PJ, which she is very happy about as the she mentioned the beauticians there display the utmost sense of professionalism. No product hard selling, no pushing of signing up for more, just serving her with skin care advices and as what was paid on agreement.
What’s even better, my wife signed up for a 10 treatment package. Halfway through, my wife had to be in New Zealand and was away for about 2 – 3 years, and upon returning back, she was allowed to continue with her package treatment. No rubbish saying ‘oh your treatment validity has expired’ or such. She paid for it, and she was allowed to finish the whole treatment. All in all, it took my wife almost, with the time away in between, 5 years to complete the package, with no restrictions from the LDD.
You must be wondering, is LDD products outcome bad and hence I have thought of trying with NYSS. The answer is NO; I was merely just thinking of trying out something new, that was it. LDD has improved my wife’s skin considerably.
Now i’ll be realistic, nothing changes dramatically by 100%. Lets be real. LDD has improved my wife’s skin and I’m willing to put her back into the LDD program even if the visible improvements is around 20 – 30% (by the way everyone has different rates of improvement so do not take this as a benchmark).
You must be thinking ‘rich people can talk like this’. I’d be honest, I’m not rich, but more of a very reasonable person. What do you expect; RM 3,000 – RM 4,000 to solve your worst nightmares in 10 sessions?
Some of you must be thinking I must be paid by LDD to write on this. Answer is NO. On the contrary, I’m going to pay LDD back again for another 10 sessions for my wife. And she’s most happy to go back to them for treatment again.
Enjoyed your site and thank you all for the comments.

Although i only spent RM 1899 for my 10 session, then they keep asking me to buy their products (50% off for memeber), i bought for several of products from them aleady. in fact,everytime i went for facial, they will persuade me to buy things. i did it until the fouth times, my face get worser and i stop to buy anything from them and transfer my account to another branch, i thought will be better, but more worse, nobody called me and ask me come for facial after months. Perhaps they are busy and not willing to follow up my case.
I don’t mind to pay expensive treatment, but at least it can cure my problem, not make it worse. i spent money for skin specialist, and i become very desperate and my homon imbalance, every frens also see my differences, and keep asking me why my face become like that?i am really very sad…
Really want to take back my money, and their products..i still leave them at home without using anymore..really a nightmare, and i miss my face in the past, i have just one side pimples problem last time, but now whole face also got, and left some scarring..and holes..worser than i got chicken pox last time

Many people feel that their acne is overly embarrassing and unmanageable. I have read story after story of heartache, especially from teens that endure heartless bullying from schoolmates. There are so many different remedies and medications. What most people fail to realise is that each individual has a different biological makeup and what works for one person may not work for everyone. In some cases certain acne treatment can adversely affect already irritated skin. This further causes unnecessary embarrassment and frustration to an already uncomfortable situation.
Propaganda fuels misconceptions about different so-called remedies and even causes. The idea that chocolate and oily food causes acne. When in truth, makeup, unhealthy skin and even perspiration can cause acne.
All of these factors affect the skin. But even your skin makeup can affect your skin and create back acne, scalp acne, large assesses or ingrown hair. There is an acne questionnaire done by a company called Skinmed that will help to diagnose acne problems through a series of questions, and then it n recommends the best acne treatment for each individual.
Teen acne is typically the most difficult to diagnose because of hormonal considerations, but there is a special area meant just for teen acne that has a completely different set of rules when running the formula that determines the best medications or treatments. In some cases simple changes in hygiene and daily washing is all that it takes.
The site also has a free offer on acne facial cleanser that is made up of a three step process. The primary reason most teens, especially boys tend to have more problems with chronic acne is because of a lack of simply washing their face regularly. So this treatment is free is a way to create a healthy daily routine, while gently healing the skin to prevent acne scarring brought on as a result of squeezing the sores. Once daily cleaning is practices, and hormonal issues are taken into consideration, a proper treatment regiment can be highly affective.
At the end of the day most acne, even teen acne , can be eliminated quickly and permanently with the right motivation. After all, we all want to be beautiful don’t we?

Like most of you, I’m really REALLY drawn to New York Skin Solution’s promo and promises. The urge for me to go and try out was so strong until I stumbled across your blog.
Before this I had had treatments before for my skin. And you guessed it, I got from bad to worse. Spent RM5000 for worse skin? All for the name of beauty! But that was a completely different story.
And so I thought, maybe NYSS is different. Their products and facials might work for me this time. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll get that smooth, flawless skin I longed for. But I’m no more silly to fall into the same trap twice! I mean…thanks for this blog, I’ll have to blacklist NYSS forever. I pity you guys who had fallen into being their victims….and really angry as what a scam they are!
But is it THAT difficult to find a place that is truly genuine and its treatment are truly effective for us, people with not-so-perfect skin?
If any of you had any good places that is TRULY effective, do share. I’ll be checking in into this blog to read for more responses. Thanks again….

I suspect they open pricing like “suka-suka” there seems like no procedure for the product pricing. they like say how much then how much. that’s the FUCKER, i’m really angry. Even if, i say if only their treatment is no result worse to my face, i still backlist them. i think the other beauty salon also not expensive as them.

I am currently NYSS customer. I had joined since Oct last year. I went for the free trial which cost RM38. However, based on my skin condition, they recommended me to top up with RM180 for better result and calming effect due to my redness and sensitive skin.(I suffered from Eczema).
I used to try other Beauty Saloon and every time after facial I have terrible face redness. So, that time I agreed with the recommendation.
First trial is quite satisfying and after one treatment I able to see the result. It is quite amazing. My face was not so red even after the 1st trial. Then I signed up a packet with RM2000++ with 10 session. I notice the changes after each time of the treatment. I used only 2 product of them, which they highly recommended to me to solve my itchiness and redness of my face. They are Soothing Gel and Soothing cream.
Only after 4th session, my face turn from redness to fairer. It seems like much more “stable” compare to previously. Sometimes it still have some acne. Some red spot and scar even lighter now. Pore smaller.
It has improved a lot…for me ;) and i am still using my own facial product which is from Clinelle (Wash, toner and moisturizers)

Hmm….i am very unlucky for visiting this website after i have been push by the beauty consultant of New York Skin to sign up. I was influenced by their ads on TV so i sms them. One day they get back to me and fix appointment. According to their ads, free facial will be given for the first time. Upon arrival, the beauty consultant scan my face and told me where the problems lie. She didnt mention about $$$$, and ask me to the room n get facial.
After done with the facial then only she told me about the package….she said i have to undergo intensive treatment which consist of 20 sessions, plus i’ll be getting free set home care product, free 10 session eye treatment, plus discount for collagen and what not…bla bla…total cost RM4900.00. I was shocked, i told her its very costly and i dun have $$$. She never gives up, she ask me to hang on as she find help frm her manager. Then she came up and told me how lucky i am today because, her manager allow discount to RM4655 n still can swipe my credit card with 0% interest installment.Luckily my citibank card having problem so i couldnt swipe, the beauty consultant manager even called up the bank twiceeeee to make certain what possibly wrong with the card. Duhhh!! to that extent!
In short, i was a victim today, they persuade me like hell although i say noooo…they willing to reduce discount alternative package plan etc to get a customer..yes they were pushy! n i was mentally tortured i couldnt get out of the room in fact! i was being hypnotised sort of heeeeeheee! Unbelievable i sign up for student package cost me RM688.00, for 3 sessions, still i felt regret doing so.
But i will make sure…after i have done with 3 session, i wont allow them to persuade me! i learned my lesson oredi. So people, better be careful, i had quite similar experience with those people who wrote here. Dont get yourself into trouble.

ohmy.
they just called me to go for a free treatment.
i SO want to go.
but after seeing all the comments, i do have second thoughts.
though my thoughts are not easily swayed by others, what i am worried is that the first treatment will not turn out good, it may worsen my skin condition or make it even oilier. so frustrating. can someone let me know about their treatment and whether it is worth going to try out just that once? any negative impacts on the skin?
thanks!

i went for their free treatment,
after treatment i felt quite good
ok who woulnt feel good after a massage an a facial rite? so..
after the facial the lady gave told me abt the facial packages.
asked me to pay 4800 for this ampule treatment thingy
and i said i cant afford it
and said that i shud go for the 2800 treatment.
and said i wanted to leave to think abt the promotion
but she wouldnt let me leave
and said that i shud use the products as well
so she gave me 6 products at 380 i said fine. coz i wanted to leave so much
but then she said i have to pay deposit for the 2800 treatment, and wouldnt give me a chance to think abt it.
i said i had to go coz i have another appnt and kept insisting.
so i bought the products and paid deposit for the 2800 treatment which costed me 800 bucks.
after 3 days, my face which had very minimal acne before, turned out red and big big pimples started to come out of my face.
and i still used their product because i thought hey maybe its normal.
that turned out to be such a bad decision, because now, my face is itchy, blotched and red, and is full of milia and oil, and the big acne is everywhere on my face and chin, i’ve stopped using the products now
i had to go to my GP to get antihistemines and told me not to use the products anymore because i might be allergic to some of their chemicals.
i want my money back but i doubt that i will get it.
i’m glad i did not pay the full amount.
guys i suggest that u go to a more reputable skincare company.
i’m really sad now that my face is horrible and worse of all the pain and itchiness is really bad.
even if you wanna go for the first try, dont be a sucker like me and say no.
even if the beautician turns into a green monster.
say NO.
and leave.
just say NO.
sincerely yours,
the sucker who now has bad bad skin and still needs to pay 800 bucks credit card debt.

Im having a nightmare at New York skin solution
I’d a serious keloids on both side of my cheek, and the first time of the consultation i was consult by a “International Skin Specialist” from Singapore. At the end of consultation and free trial, she had convince us to signed up for treatment cost RM12000 (30 session, RM400 per session). Fine, that’s the first time i get cheated and i wasn’t aware then.
During my 3rd time of consultation, another so called “skin specialist”, this time from Malaysia (local) approached me and ask me to use their “ampoule” cost RM180 per bottle and ask me to use daily. I was hesitating at that time and wanted to say ‘no’, but my father insists and saying that “fully utilize” their treatment, cause once we’d started it, its useless to stop in midway. I felt so heartache by then. My father paid another RM18000 (100 bottles)
Days later using ampoule, i felt something amiss (my keloids getting worsen), and i alert this to my father and my consultant, and demand for a refund. What they keep on doing is dragging my cases longer and longer, keep on telling me stupid explanation, and what they do is everytime i asked for refund they’ll call their another skin specialist to look over my case. Me and my father felt so fedup with their unethical business practice. Me any my father also ended up quarrel with their skin specialist. After so many times of demand, i felt like there’s no more hope to take back my money.
Now they told me that it’s normal that the keloids getting bigger (i mean what kind of stupid explanation is that), i’m paying for so much money, and you tell me that its normal that it gets worsen?? And even if this is the treatment process, why dont you tell me during my first time of my treatment. I’d even requested for black and white copies of previous customers with keloids problem to show me (because they keep on telling me they’re confident with my case and had experience with pass customer similar like me), but they’re unable to show me any, but only blank promises from their mouth ..
Please be smart before signing up any of these packages, i admit that i’m being such a foolish signing up these courses and cost me RM 30k in total .. though its my parents money i felt heartache everytime i think of it.

The first time i was consulted by their “International Skin Specialist” from singapore, she persuade me and my parents to signed up for 30 session course cost RM 12k (RM400 per session).
During the 3rd time of consultation, we were approached by another specialist (this time local) and persuade us to buy their product “ampoule” cost RM180 per bottle and used it daily. We’re desperate that time, i had a pretty bad scars on my face. But i had to say it was so stupid to sign up that time without thinking. We actually ask for 1 week supply first and see if anyhow it suits then only we get another week of supply and so on. She ended up saying that its cheaper and they had promotional price of buying 100 bottles (RM18k) rather than RM200++ per bottle if we take a week supply. And again me and my father was desperate at then.
Now after a week of using their product, i suspected something amiss, my scars (keloids) getting worsen after using their product, and demand a refund. We ended up quarrel with their specialist (the first time i went to quarrel with others) for few times, and there seems like no more hope to take back the refund. All this while when i raise this issue to them, all they do is to ask another “skin specialist” to come over and look at my face. I felt like they had the intention of keeping on dragging my case, with no intention of making any refund at all.
Please be careful of their business tactic (so damn bloody unethical – sorry i had to say this). All they do is persuade you and later after that, ask for your credit cards. I had a total of RM30k with them .. sad .. What a professional “salesgirl” ..

Hai,
I had 4 unique treatment , plus 1 free trial treatment. On the 2nd treatment, since i was complaining my acne keep on breaking out, the so called consultant had asked me to buy 15 bottles of ampoules. I have spent 4.2K treatment and 1.8k of of ampoules product amounting to 6k!!! what the hell.. and my face getting worse, acne breaking out more and more… and the consultant said.. its ok “boleh hilang punya” and convince me that its a toxic that the ampoules trying to soften.
I was dissapointed. Today i am trying to get medical doctor letter to check my skin and confirm that i should not continue the treatment and use the product. I will then make formal letter to NYSS with the doctor attachment to get my refund of another 6 sessions i have not completed. I will lodge complaint at tribunal if it turns out they dont “timbang rasa” with my complaints.
Why dont we all be united at least 10-20 of us, and make the complaints and do something?
how come i was so desperate to remove my acne at that time, feel ashame of it. So sad!

I am writing this based on my dissatisfaction and disappointment of NYSS product and treatment sessions on my acne face which were guaranteed by the consultant named S** and her supervisor at the Curve branch telling me after 4-5 treatments will definitely make improvement. This was done before I signed up the package of RM4200 for 10 times treatment, they are such a convincing ppl there and i believe they are trained to be unethical.
I had 1 free facial treatment (without ampoules) and 4 formal unique treatments (with ampoules) which equivalent to 5 times treatmetn altogether and on my second formal meeting treatment I made a complaint on my acne breakouts and she said it is because the toxic is being generated which caused by the treatment and asked me to purchase RM1800 ampoules and said it will soften the acne. After applying 5-6 bottles of the ampoules, plus all the 4 formal treatments that I went through which were done by the consultants using ampoules, my face doesn’t make any change, but worse. It becomes itchy and the acne breakouts more, in addition applying the ampoules have made my skin felt warmer (burn) and uneasy. My face was not even 1% improved but on the other hand, I have to experience treating the itchiness, uneasiness and more acne breakouts. This is such a disappointment and RM6000 that I have spent is a terrible waste.
They dont treat you like human being, what they want is just money. I did go to see doctor today, and she advice me to terminate the treatment and refer me to skin specialist at hospital.
Anyone interested to make tribunal complaint please buss me at geena_birdy@yahoo.com

– Shot ur Face(Befor & After Trtment)& Print it out
– Keep ur resit as a PROOF,

Hey guys,
Maybe u’ll be surprised that NY skin care reaches out to Shanghai, China. I guess this company hardly can survive in Malaysia and Singapore so that the owner decided to transfer. The problem is that they under-estimate the IQs of Shanghain women.
I was attempted to make an appointment with them for this Saturday. But because I had a bad experience with another local beauty salon before (similar to urs with NYSS), So, I did a little homework. I do appreciated all ur efforts to put so many comments about this company.
However, I will still go for that appointment b/c:
1) it’s a free trial
2) I really want to see it in person how hard their selling could be
3) if it’s totally true, I will post my comment in Mandarin to several reputable websites to alert people; also, I will file a complaint to Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce which can directly interfere such disputes.
But, for sure, I will not sign the contract after the trial and will not buy their products since they are defected somehow.
Again, thanks to u all!

So i googled and here I am. My face is getting oily and there are red posts around my nose, now praying it doesn’t get worse. I think since there’s load of you guys complaining against NYSS and lose a lot of money u guys should group up and even file lawsuit against them!

NYSS service is “horrible”. I feel like owning them million of dollars for calling to make appointment. They come across very unfriendly, EXTREMELY RUDE on the phone. Excuse me, I did pay for the service, I am not getting it for FREE!!
Besides, I have hard time in making appointment with their consultant. Within less than 1 year period, my Consultant have been changed for 3 times (high turnover).
On 3rd May 2008 (around 4p.m.), I dropped by to buy some products for my mom. The receptionist saw me and said: “It has been time I didn’t see you.” I replied: “Yes, I have hard time in making appointment.” Then, she smiled and kept quiet. At the same time, there was another Consultant sitting next at the front desk saying: “Why do you have hard time in making appointment? Is it because you want to arrange it during weekend?” I said: “No, I always arranged it during weekdays. But somehow, the consultant is always BUSY.” Then, she said: “Why don’t you arrange it everytime after the facial treatment?” I said: “I can’t, I have signed up program at few places. I always called in 3-4 days in advanced.” Then, she sarcastically smiled and said: “No, no, you must call in 3 weeks in advanced.” I said: “What? 3 weeks? Huh, I always can get the appointment elsewhere.” She asked me where did I do my facial. I said it is Demarlogical. Their service is GOOD. She asked me not to compare with Demarlogical. I said NYSS is no better than Demerlogical. They are very professional, and polite. Then, she looked unhappy and kept asking me to make appointment earlier.
I regreted for signing up with them. Anyway, it is a good lesson to learn!! Thought I am the only “victim”, who knows their reputation in the market is such BAD!!

Oh no. I feel stupid. Desperation always result in stupid actions. I nak cerita sikit the cause of my desperation becoz I wanna let it out. I just got to know this really cool guy and I am not confident to meet him with my acne scarred face. I went to NYSS to get some treatment. I went alone. And ended up taking the 5800 (unique treatment) + 350 (collagen drink). :( I should have done research on this b4 trying :(. Like the rest they called in a specialist a week after that and said this and that about placenta treatment and I said NO. For that, I have to top up another 10k!. LUckily I had my brains back by that time. But… desperation was still looming, and I bought the 15 bottles ampoules. That is another 1800. Oh no, totally to 8k for a promise of better skin. I just went for my second treatment. I got 3 red pimples on my face. I hope there won’t be more :(. I think I am going to reduce my use of the product and go for the rest of the treatment less often. I believe too frequent facial doesnt allow the skin to recover. I hope, hope, hope for luck.

The friend whom I mentioned that she was pleased with NYSS for her dry skin, has changed her mind. She had signed up a RM9 000 course & regretted it, wanted to get back the $ & she hadn’t used any of the facial.
Another friend’s friend who knows about laws & consumer rights advise this if you don’t want to report to Consumer:
1) Complain to the outlet manager that you want to cancel the course – even after you’ve swiped the card. Financial companies (bank, credit card) will take 2 weeks to complete the transaction. That means right after you decided to cancel it, ASAP, either meet up or write / fax complaint letter to NYSS HQ / outlet.
2) NYSS may counter offer with discounts & more packages for you.
3) Get NYSS to write an official letter for you / your bank stating that the transaction should be on pending status. This should be passed to your bank so that your bank doesn’t transfer $ to NYSS.
If this doesn’t work, report to Consumer. If only I had known this earlier (& braver).

Before the facial i had in NYSS, i have never gotten ANY acne in my life. Even during my teen-hood. But after the facial… it was the worse years in my life up till today. My face starts to breakout badly at first. And then pimples and acne start to haunt me day and night up till today. Thanks to that ONE VISIT i had at NYSS.

Urghhh! If only I’d come across this website earlier! :( Like so many of you, I was fed up, at a loss and depressed by this sudden bout of adult acne…I never used to have acne problems, not even as a teenager UNTIL recently (I’m in my late 20s).
So, like many of you out there, I was attracted by NYSS’s “Before & After” results deep down I know results WILL vary depending on the individual)AND since there was a FREE trial for 1st-timers, I thought “Why not? Try onli wat..If don’t like then dun go again lar”…. Yea rite, if onli i knew the financial nightmare this was about to cost put me through!!!*HAIHHHHHH**
Anyways, when I went there for the 1st visit, they took me into the consultation room….In there they used that machine thingy to scan my face & then they told me how bad my skin condition was bla x3 ….Then went into the room for the free facial. After the free facial, went back into the room….They scanned the face again, showed me how much better the skin looked (duhh, of course lar, it’s immediately after the facial which is why it looks good…dunno what will happen in e.g. 3 days time rite???)….
They told me stuff like “Oh, for your condition…need 30-40 sessions etc to see results….Then said somore “Oh but we understand it’s very expensive so we start with 10 sessions 1st + 5 free dunno-wat treatments….Ended up with me swiping the damn credit card for RM6800!!! With Easy Payment for 12 months, each month RM566…URGHHH….And now this is eating into my card credit limit!!!!Sucks lar.. ESPECIALLY after reading all your comments….At least if the place has a good reputation oso not so bad.
Now I know I’m not the only victim!!! Lesson learnt. Next time, do research 1st, esp when it involves parting with your hard-earned $$$$$$$$$!!! We all know that I’m sure…But I guess desperation does make one lose once’s mind and common sense!
SOMORE when I went for my 2nd visit, they then recommended further ampoule product to dry up the pimples etc…..Said that would cost another RM5400!!! I told them NO….!!! Imagine, I haven’t even finished paying all instalments for the RM6800 treatment, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, I HAVEN’T even seen the results of the RM6800 that I swiped YET and they STILL want me to spend more $$$$!!!!?????
So now im going to just finish up this package, finish paying the instalments….and forget about NYSS!!!!! Luckily I haven’t used their Free facial products…Scared got side effects so I think i will just stick to my usual products. Now oso I’m scared to go for my next appointment — dunno wat other ways / sweet talk they will use to make me spend more $$$.
I donno whether it;s a good idea to even continue going for the facials….I know I already paid but what if (like u all said) their products are not safe???
Next time I shud just leave my credit card at home when going to all these places.

Hi, thank you for this post.
I actually just got home from New York Skin Tiong Bahru branch here in Singapore. Needless to say, I was so disgusted with them.
The beautician “harassed” me and demand me to get the package. I told her NO many times. I told her im not interested! Damn it!
Then she was forcing me to go and get my credit card and NETS because its only for today. SO WHAT!
I almost want to slap her upfront!
then they called i have to go back coz i have to pay! What shall i pay??? What a scammer! They called me many times on my phone and I wanted to know what was it all about and then because i didnt avail of their service they told me i should pay for the scan!
DUH!

I am a customer at the NYSS,Curve branch since 2005(when they opened). Their service has just dropped to the pits. But since i have already dumped in my hard earned money with them, i continued going to them.So after a long break i went yest. My beauty consultant name Grace attended to me. So she did the usual steaming of my face, then extraction. Okay then she started putting on my mask,and eye treatment. Left me in the room for 30 mins all alone. By then i was fuming. Then comes some other consultant who says she is not Grace. I was just so angry that i got up sreamed at her and the supervisor asking them to get out of the room as i was leaving the place right away. I went ballistic really. Got dressed went to the counter and screamed my heart out at them. I was just so mad. Told them that this is not the way to treat a customer and everything i could tell them . They kept saying sorry, sorry… Until now no one has rang to apologise. I just want my money back. I will write to the add given above to the govt to complain. I will also write to Malay Mail hotline. Yes, even if i don’t get my money back, i want these dishonest ppl to suffer. Just terrible how they suck our money and treat us so shabbily. All of us must voice out together.

Hi!
Tank goodness,i thought i’m the onli one that was conned by them..
I went for my first facial there as a new customer.They did a scan.Since i was only 17,they asked me to bring along my mum.At first,my mum decline as she was so sure that these facials and companies were fraud but eventually,she agreed to accompany me to the NYSS at White Sands.
I remembered our consultant then as she scanned our faces and showed our bad skin conditions on a monitor nx to her.
It was very terrifying to see the damage caused by the acne etc.Then,she told us that our skin problems can be helped when we signed up for her recommended treatment.
The price for me only costs about S$1000+.My mum then complained that i was only a student and that i could not afford it.
bla..bla..bla..until the consultant gave a reasonable price which is around S$450 for 5 treatments and she promised us that my skin will improve a lot.
My 1st visit was fine with the consultant herself but then the 2nd onwards was not cool.Upon my 2nd visit,i got a new consultant taking me and when i asked bout the previous one,the receptionist said that she was taking her maternity leave.
The new lady then told me to get these bottles which she claims is a need for a faster recovery.Since i was alone with her n another consultant in a room,i was very tempted to do agree.Btw the prices for these bottles are $1000+ for 20 b.I rejected but they keep insisting on me taking the offer.Since i was a student,they offered 10 bottles at $400+.They added that it was a one time offer and in order to secure the offer,i need to make a deposit of S$214.Since i was a student,they offered 10 bottles at $400+.
I also told them that i need to discuss wif my mum as b4 i buy anitin,my mum will be asked 1st.
They then said ,”y not put a deposit 1st,and tell ur mum later at home”.
Due to myself being alone with the 2 consultants,i was easily infuenced as i couldn’t say NO to their smiling faces.
When i reached home,i told mu mum wat happened tat day and she pissed off as she knw i was scammed by them.The following day,we went to the place and my mum asked 4 the manager.We then sat in a room as usual and my mum complained to her bout the consultant’s way of cheating money on young people.
There were loud disagreements in the room and still,no refunds.
My mum was very fed-up with the manager and went straight to CASE the nx day.She opted for the small court whereby she would be representing me against the company.
A few days b4 the small court takes place,NYSS called my mum and apologise.They also want her to cancel the small court appointment and decided to give us back our refund.
I was happy to get back my money and was so thankful to my mum!
So guys out there,be very careful when going to NYSS.To be stupid like me..The lesson is,”Think twice b4 saying yes”

Hey guys,i just wish i saw this blog ealier!! i went to NYSS at subang parade last tuesday for the first timer free trial! somewhere in part of my brain already thought about ‘how can any company give something for free..hmmmm’when i make the appoinment.
Well, i went there anyway,and when i’m waiting for the consulatant i saw my ‘back-then-highschool enemy’ with flawless skin in one of their satisfied customer pamplet!it makes me more eager to try the service….. and after finished the free facial,i can felt a bit different in positive way until they pushed me to take their package which is cost RM 1250 for 5 session and free 5x eye treatments! to be honest my budget really tight every month…and i dont have that such of money to spent anyway.When i said NO to them..they start to pushed me more and more..(oh yeah..there s 3 of em and me in that small room)! when i said i dont bring my ATM cards and dont have credit cards (which i really dont)..they said just asked anyone that i know and ‘borrowed’ their cc instead..duh!!
and then they start to spaek in chinese to each other which they thought i didnt understand they kutuk2 me!(i’m half chinese and i can understand mandarin maa)
and after almost 1 hour battle..phew!! i end up paid them deposit RM 180 in cash (it’s all cash i got at that time).yeah..i lost the battle just because it took so much time arguing and im already late for my family dinner… got to pay all the balance before end of the week! YEAH U WISH!
i dunno either i dont like the product and the treatment or the staff tactics…but they already make their point on why i shouldnt go back..hmmm what about my RM 180*sigh*
i know if want to be beautiful there’s price to pay! but its too pricey! i rather spent rm500-rm600 for good quality skincare product and do it myself!
anyway, u guys said dermalogical is good..may i know roughly the prices !! TQ

Hi everyone,
This is my first time I visit this blog, after three years already I’ve been a loyal customer(considered loyal, i think) to NYSS. I’m not here to judge people or to say either we wright or wrong, but I’m here just to share my experiences with you.
My first trial treatment, started a few years ago, after I’ve seen advertisement in tv commercial produce by the singaporean people to the malaysian. Since, I’m having very serious face problem, I try to persuade myself to try NYSS after having serious breakdown with a lot of beauty products.Because you know women will do whatever it takes to look beautiful, I’m willing to travel from ipoh to KL midvalley,because that time, they do not open yet at Pinang branch and I’m not familiar with the subang area.
I couldn’t deny,the beautician NYSS are very persuasive.I did have my 10 session plus with the 3 free treaments and it all cost a lot of money. Everytime I attented the treatment, they will try to persuade me to upgrade my package and talk about my face problem and if you want to get an instant results, you need to pay with another more RM6K…walah…bla..bla…and we give you some discount…only offer for today,again I convinced myself,nevermind..as long as my face will improve..and no financial problem, maybe I can try. Until one stage, I cannot stand anymore.Ask me to by the placenta and the others thing cause you more than RM2500.(i don’t know about the price nowdays)
That it…I can be broke for every month just because of this. I’m asking myself, why the price of the product and the discount keep on changing when you say no..and I did see their expert people where they came down from singapore to KL and commented on my face skin.and even when I said no, they still tryin to convience me to upgrade again…and maybe if you lucky enough, the NYSS will put my face on TV commercial and you get another more free session…what?
Yes, my skin is improve, but really slow.Maybe as what others people say, some works and some are not.It takes two years to prevent the senstive and dry skin ONLY. Not yet with the pores and bla..bla…and until know I only used their product and no longer having treatment in that place.I’m afraid if I change to other product, my face become worst back as I did try to stop their product such as rosemary cleanser, soothing gel and cream, beauty cream, toner..and a lot more…you know what happened? on my face suddenly appears to have pimples, blackhead and redness back..so that why I still continue the product. Anybody like to suggest to me with a new products?
Their service, I can conclude that,they still ok, except when the done the suggestive selling (;p).My beautician also already resigned but she did a good job to me eventhough sometimes she keep on missing certain time cause her supervisor keep on calling her to entertain other peoples.She did appologize to me.
To my conclude, we can say NO as we have the rights. Still not too late rather like me.Thus who really in treatments..and paid, what can I said…no refund right? Go..experience rather than you paid them free.If you get the refund..thanks god.thus who gets the good result continue as what you already decide..
As for me, I’m still searching for the right product for my face.I don’t want to go to the beauty shop whereby they only seen your face without scan it..and suddenly suggest to you, this is the products that suits you. We have the power to make changes.Remember, to get fine face it requires times to recover. No such things as instantly…and the money as well…

I went for a so-called free facial today at penang branch and the beautician managed to make me signed up for a RM3xxx treatment session. my skin improved in term of complexion (i have acne problem) and i was at first a satisfied customer. but after reading all the negative comments here, i’m scared that my skin condition is going to get worse if i continue with another 10 sessions with them. i haven’t paid for the whole program as i only paid for the deposit RM100. should i leave it like that and not paying if i choose not to go for more treatments? because i already signed up for the 10 sessions treatment.

hi, diwi from KL. being some sort of a frequent web surfer, i wish i did my homework thru internet before signing up with the damn new york skin care. being so desperate to have flawless skin like an artist, i spent RM8000 till to date and only got rashes from day to day. i kept track of my skin condition using my own camera as an evident and now i have lodged a complaint to tribunal pengguna to get a refund. last friday they only offered RM1000 and 10 more cooling treatments. so lame after i had expressed to them that i have lost confident with their treatment. now, i’m still waiting for their management’s verdit. and of course they asked me to revoke the complaint but sorry, they are messing with the wrong person. if i didnt get full refund, i’ll put whatever within my capacity to make this thing come to light and no more will be skinned alive!
so guys and gurls, if you are willing to be my witness or provide your genuine testimony to me before or during the hearing scheduled on 15/12/2008, do contact me at rosmadiwi_anuar@petronas.com.my. it’s time to teach these blood sucker a real lesson

i too am a client of NYSS at the Curve Branch. i am 43, went in for slight pigmentation problems and slight sagging of my cheeks. i went for the free treatment and was impressed. they did one side of my face first and let me see the difference, and it was incredible, the side they worked on was higher!!! incredible right. so i was taken in immediately. they were incredibly pushy. the treatment they recommended for me was the planceta which consists of 10 treatments, costing RM980!! each. i was taken aback, but they said if you sign today, they will give me additional 10 treatments of chamomile worth RM580 each, plus eye treatment etc, totalling over RM22000.
i was just taken in by the way my cheeks looked, so firm. i actually refused becos i needed to talk it over with my significant other. but they told if i signed up another day, i wouldnt not get the free 10 chamomile treatments and the eye care etc.
they brought in total of 3 people to convince, and i felt pushed into it. and i put in on my credit card.
but unfortunately, the lifting of my cheek area just happened that one time, i havent seen that miracle since.
and after one or two treatments, they start telling you that in order for my treatment to work faster i should buy ampoules, which cost RM180 each. and you are supposed to use one per day.
i finally relented after my 8th treatment and bought 10 and got 5 free.
not much improvement. i went to my i think 15th treatment on the 25th of November 2008. and 2 hours later, both my eyes were swollen, my left side of the face from hairline to chin looked like it was burned, deep red, and deep red patches on my right cheek. i was shocked. i called my therapist and she told me to go in the next morning. i went in and they gave me a soothing treatment, which is just cleansing, repair serum which cost about RM8, and cool steam for 20 minutes.
after which they asked me to buy the serum,10 caps which cost total RM80 and that was that. didnt offer any treatments for the damage. no reassurance.
i went home hoping it would work, but it didnt. i cried myself to sleep the second night.
called the salon manager Iris. told her what happened, i thought she could help. called at 11 am in the morning. she told me she would get all the facts and call me back, i waited until 5pm, no calls, i search the net looking for a number for a head office, there is none. i called the number on the web and it was the pavillion branch. i asked for a head office number but she said there isnt one. she asked for my number and said she could speak to her manager and maybe she could help. i briefly told her what happened. and miraculously, five minutes later, the salon manager at the curve called me. and told me to go in tomorrow, and they will let me have a cream to apply on my face.
i understand that this skin reactions could happen, maybe my skin is sensitive to a particular product in that treatment. but the reason why i am angry is not the fact that it happened, but the fact that they couldnt be bothered to do anything!!!!!!! once you have signed up and paid they treat you like you are nothing.
all i wanted was for them to treat me the way they did when they wanted me to sign up with respect!!!
i didnt ask for refund, i paid for the repair serum, after they did this to my face. i still paid!!!! they offered me no help, no treatment to repair the damages, nothing.
i am shocked at the way they operate. i still have 4 to 6 treatments left. they actually asked me to sign up for another course 3 weeks ago. i was tempted not becos i have seen improvement. but becos i have already spent RM11600. there hasnt been lightening of my pigmentation, or any firming in my face. but after this shoddy treatment of me. i wouldnt advise anyone to go there.maybe if you buy their ampoules costing several thousands of ringgit every month, they will treat you like a vip. maybe the treatment do work but in my case it hasnt and it has damage my skin, i hope not permanently.
i have never seen my face as bad as this, never in my 43 years. i will be going tomorrow to get the cream that was offered to me. i will be updating this tomorrow evening. i regret going to new york skin solutions. please people out there, beware!!

i am linda from the previous post. this morning i went to the dermatologist before going to NYSS to meet with the salon manager. she promised that NYSS will provide me with all the treatments needed to repair my skin. she then provided to give me a small tub, she said contains cream that was flown over from singapore just for me. and she told me to apply it over entire face twice a day for 5 days.
when i opened the tub, i saw a tiny tiny amount. maybe around the segment of the little finger. i suspect it is some sort of pharmaceutical ointment especially when she told me to apply that tiny amount, just as my dermatologist had told me so this morning.
now i am torn. my face looked so shocking, that i was stared at every where i go. and now, my dilemma is do i use the cream, knowing full well, a salon has no right in dispensing that ointment (if it turns out to be so) or do i risk going thru their treatments again.
maybe i will get the ointment tested before i decide.
for those people out there who is comtemplating going to NYSS or any salon, be really careful. i thought i was in chosing a famous salon.
but beware!! anyone out there who has had severe rashes, or burn like marks like mine? pls send me an e-mail, maybe we can do something? lmbmadden@hotmail.com

Hi,
I have a very bad experience with this NYSS, luckily I manage to get back my money after make a police report and draft a letter to my credit card dispute dept. This story happen when I try the RM38 promotion , after the session, I agreed to sign in the facial treatment cost 3K, ,after the trial facial I go back and search in the website, I horror and regret after non good review from their customers. I immediately call them to cancel the package, but no feedback from them. I went back to the outlet, I want to know what the reason they give me, I ask nicely the consultant to explain the reason, and record with my hand phone, I said I need this as a proof, the consultant was very angry and chase me out of the outlet. Then I went to the nearest police station to log case, I draft a letter and fax to the credit card dispute dept to investigate this case, I also attached together with the police report. After a few days the Manager of the outlet call me and agreed to make refund by cheque but my easy payment through credit card have to carry on, I also have to pay for them admin charges.

Just signed up RM 12k for 20X treatment. The consultant told me that all their products are made in usa although some maybe packed in s’pore or m’sia. I noticed that their products do not spelt out their ingredients unlike other reputable products from USA or Europe. Also the manufacturer name and address are not identified. I need someone to advise the following
1. my top concern is whether nyss products are safe and without side-effects.
2. And are they really made in usa?
3. For members the products are 50% discount? The staff told me that only 10 or 15 or 20% discount depends on the accumulating amount you spent as member.

LG, almost everyone’s skin is different, coupled with sensitivity, allergy, etc – it’s hard to judge how skin would react until you try it yourself – hence, the free trial given by people who had signed up for the packages. It’s how NYSS get new customers and for potential customers to try the products/services. Of course, the service during free trial would be great – they would take time to explain, draw pictures of skin, scan your skin, explain where the problems are… after trial facial, they would scan another time to show you the differences.
Yes, no ingredients listed. The box & packaging are really simple.
Made in US? It can mean a lot of things – are the ingredients from US, bottled in US, quality measured by US government?
As for the current promotion or discount – I’m not sure since I stopped using this long time ago. If you don’t want, they’ll offer more discount. So the trick is to say “NO” a few times if you really want to get more savings.
siti, best if you go to qualified doctor than beauticians since NYSS treatment & products are not working for you even if you are taking care of yourself (enough sleep, no stress, eat right, etc). Alternatively, you can also cancel your package but you need valid reason for this – needs thick face to claim back, maybe a lot of noise or report to Consumer.

hi all….i faced the same problem as u guys too frankly speaking i’ve spent more than rm20k at their penang outlet as they kept persuade me to upgrade the treatment. I was so reluctant at first but the way they made it seem like if i dun upgrade the treatment, i will no longer see any improvement on my face. I was so stupid to get cheated by them and spent most of my saving to get my face free from acnes. After more than 30 treatments, there is no improvement at all and all i got are rashes and more acnes, which left me feel frustrated. I went to see a skin specialist and he claimed that i was allergic to the new treatment. I told my consultant about it and guess what, she said it might be due to my food intake or lack of sleeps…not their problem at all….and asked me to buy some soothing ampoule’s which cost rm1800 for 3 boxes (buy 2 free 1)…which i refused to buy…then again, she showed me an annoyed look and the next thing i knew was she kept me waited for empty room for more than half n hour each time i went for my treatment, and i always got the one sharing with other peoples, and always ask different beautician to serve me. When i confronted them, all they said was “she is busy with new customers”…….
I still have 4 more sessions to go but i think i can no longer tolerate with this kind of treatment from them. I believe the reasons we go for facial treatment is not just to treat our face, but we also seek for relaxing moment as well..but i don’t get any from this new york skin solution….trust me….all i have from them is frustration and disappointment…and made me spend money like no one business….

Hi Vaness, i know how u felt and how is the feeling as a victim, bcoz i’m also one of u ppl also. i hv spent 11k + the other trial products, already duno how much…
anyway, i learn from this lession. i giant more knowledge, more frenship and so on… I know who they r and how angry and hate from me to them…
anyway, for ur acnes, i thk u better go to see Klinik Skin Specialist rather than go to other beauty saloon. I hv been b4 and they gv me ROACCUTANE. just beawere of this medicine for someone who has allergy to the medicine or currently using the other medicine. this product cant be use for PREGNANT WOMEN. u must consult the doctor b4 using this product and dont simply buy it. anyway, ROACCUTANE, RETIN-A, DIFFERIN product r well know to solve the acne problem. but they are irritate to the skin. Therefore, u should go to see the doctor first and ask which product or other method that can solve ur problem in minimize risk.
beside tat, it’s good for u to browse website and read more info available one the net, u will get more and more knowledge that helpful for u. u r the one who can help urself. i just gv u suggestion only. Currenlty i’m using ROACCUTANE for about 4months and seen some effective on my skin.
So, if u want ur acne skin to improve, u hv to patient, at the begining usage of the medicine, it may worst for few days 2 few weeks before skin gets better. but this u must consult the doctor when u go to see them.
just beware in mind, not every product suitable for everyone and just becareful when using any strong products. Good Luck!.
For the money refund, u can get back if u fight for it, i hv fight for it and hv meet 3 specialist and firm my strong mind, i finally gets back RM3000++. Dont need scare frm them, u know how scare i’m when entry the office tat all r gal as one guy is me, but i dun care, once i entry the room, i just tell them my decision and ignore all their offer becoz i already tried twice offer and it’s useless. to fight for refund u hv go to consumer centre. In Selangor, KL there is TRIBUNAL, but at Penang, it’s Consumer xxx centre, i forget it. but they r same, just go there and ask for ur case, they will help u want. u hv to do some action if u wants ur money back. for my suggestion, u just dont go back for ur remain 4 session since u already 30trmt and seen nothing improvement. u have power to fight back for ur money.

After reading through some of the comments, I’m not so sure now! I’m gonna give this NYSS a miss tomorrow! Better be safe than sorry!

Hey all….im also one of the people being conned by NYSS….just to tell you all, if u noticed which i did but to eager to not to say no, when they scan ur face for the first time, they actually scanned 2 parts which is the first layer the visible where u can see the ugly hills n everything and the second layer which is the inner layer where you can it is not so ugly and lighter in colour than the outside…and after you did ur facial, ur face got scanned again and they just compare ur outer skin and inner skin….not the before and after, thats my experience la…dunno bout anyone else…and the people are very extremely pushy….and after u signed up they tend to be rude…

Regretted not checking on NYSS online before hand. Went for their free trial yesterday (15/4/09). Same procedure & story.
The consultant initially offered me a package cositng RM4K for 10 treatments. She was really pushing hard to get me to sign the package.
When I told her that I need more time to think, she tried to make me worry by telling me that my sensitive skin can get worse if I delay treat and that at my age (38), I should take good care of my face. She kept on talking & emphasized on the seriousness of my skin problem though I vaguely remember her putting my skin condition as moderately sensitive in my record chart.
When I kept quiet, she quickly changed topic & get me talking by asking me about my normal beuty regime. 5 minutes into the talk only did I realised that she was trying to persuade me to buy their soothing lotion in order to stabilise my skin condition.
I rejected by saying that I have just bought a new range of products recently.
Then she changed tactic; this time offering me a package costing RM580 with 3 treatments plus I can buy their products at a discount of 50%. Said that this package is normally reserved for students only but she can offer me this package provided that I paid today.
When I insisted that I do not want to make any commitment, she asked me to make a deposit instead to reserve this special package. She kept on talking until I started to get a bit annoyed and hungry too as it was almost 9.30 pm. Finally I said I can only make a RM50 deposit which she readily and happily accepted. Only then did her smile returned. So realistic!! I was also given a small travelling gift back.
On my way home, I decided to forfeit the RM50 & treat it as a payment for the ‘free trial’. I ain’t going back there ever.
After reading the complaints here, I am really glad that I got to escape with a mere RM50. Really pity you gals who have paid a fortune but yet with results to prove. Hope justice will be done…..

Hi Everyone,
I had the same experience as well and now my face is getting worse.. Whole face is full of acne and it irritates too. :(
Will just finish up the course that I have already paid for and certaintly will not sign up for additional or anymore course.
No second time for me in any of the beauty centre. The first & the last time!!
I think the best way for me is to seek for Skin Specialist.
BTW, do you guys know which is the best SKIN SPECIALIST in Penang?

there’s still way to get at least some portion of your money. STOP NOW WITH NYSS and ACT NOW!go to the nearest tribunal pengguna and lodge a report. you may still continue to ‘negotiatte’ with NYSS if they offer you and if you are satisfied with their offer, u can revoke the complaint.
but normally the F@#* (sorry, i was so furious with them)NYSS will offer the free 10 treatment of ‘soothing’ treatment. DONT BELIEVE IT OR TAKE IT. take it if you think that u want to give them a chance and u will continue being duped by them (it happened to me!)
i managed to forked back some of the money. initially they just wanted to refund RM900++ konon2 nye setel luar makhkamah(after deducting the admin fee and deduct the free cleansing set (Bodoh betul, dah bagi free nak claim balik, i fought for it)and finnaly i got RM2800, see the different?

Me also one of the NYSS’s victim. I’ve spent RM 9800 for plantcenta tr. I’ve been trapped when the first time step my foot there alone for a free trial. I refused many time to take their package but they said the free trial actually costing RM 4000 and actually the skin scan procedure also have certain charge.
They scared me that my skin condition cannot wait any longer. I refused, again they suggest me to take 15 x treatment out of 30 and said ” Sayang….you are pretty, very good looking, yet ada infection,sayang kalau tak jaga ma..rupa cantik kena jaga lorr”. Finally, they ask 4 my credit card after much tarik tali nego. They ask me to sign a piece of paper which I didn’t aware that this is the acknowledegement stated no refundable cash for any discontinue treatment. I assumed the slip just only signature 4 payment bcoz they ask me to sign after they swept my credit crd. They never mention or remind us bout the T n C.
My consultant who in charge my file from the first trial never attend to treat me, n they change the consultant untill 3 different person. 4th treatment, I was so frustrated to see what they have done to my face. My skin began crispy dehydrated, lot of burn, itchy n warm. I couldnt sleep at night. My sister said so scared seeing my face. They only said it’s a normal condition, but I’m regretted bcoz I’ve never ask for that type of treatment. Futhermore I already asked them to confirm NO PEELING, NO REDNESS. They confidently convince me no such thing. When this bad thing happen to me, they just said that the treatment just free bonus from them not included in my package. I cannot exchange the package. Then they recommend me to upgrade package to Chamomile tr. Meaning I have to buy another package worth RM 3000 plus additional product ( soothing cream n ampoules). They also promote their collagen drink which costed ribu riban also.
I have no choice than to take the new package. Wishing my skin will come back as well as before. Unfortunately, same as before, they did well at 1st session only. How terrible the itchiness i have gone through this 2nd time. Why is it 1st treatment (new package), got no problem? Same as original package, why is it 1st to 3rd session ok, no problem. I’m not so dissapointed if the result slow but the point is, they made my skin worsen. And ask me to buy this n that without responsible for what they have done. Of course they can say, may be I’m not suitable with the treatment, but I’m just curious bcoz the early stage the treatment seem ok, if not so good to see instant result at least they don’t make worse. Logically, after 4th session, should become better not become worse. If my skin not suit them, then why not it happen at the early??? Supposed in one session we could know whether the treatment bring allergy symptom or not. Did they change the ingredient every session under the same package? Why they do that?
And now, they refused to refund me. I still got 19 balance treatment 4 both package. Anyhow, I won’t go there again. I will fight 4 my right. They ask me to see their skin specialist if I want the refund and let them see my medical report from my doc. They have no right to do that. I just want my money back! I don’t want any skin test from them! If they consider to refund, then just do it. Don’t need to ask me to do anything such skin test or what. If they don’t tolerate me, See me in court!

Hi! Jane, you made a right decision. Better be safe than sorry. Most of the victims took their package bcoz of the satisfying trial treatment. But then, after gain our trust, I don’t understand why is the result different than the result after free trial? Why is that the consultant who took in charge our file from the first trial, suddenly changed or being told resigned? It not only happened to me but others also same situation. And after that they made our skin terrible.
FYI, when the 1st time I went there, I do not have critical skin problem. Got only small pimple at several skin area. They said, my skin already got infection and I must do something early before they get spread and make my face ugly like …..(they showed me pictures of bad infectioned skin). I’m so shocked to know how much the cost I have to pay for the recommended treatment. As they said that I have pretty good look, then why is that the cost is so expensive just like my skin in such serious skin problem? Finally I fall for them thinking that ‘berbaloi’ spend more if the result as we expected, they claimed that they are specialist, international brand, well known in U.S bla.. bla…
If the treatment didn’t suit us, then why they didn’t allow us to change another treatment? Why must we pay for the new type of treatment to recover the problem that they made to us. The first contract, they promise me to give free eye treatment. But they simply change that free treatment with another treatment (without informing us) which irritated my skin badly. And I have to pay on my own cost to treat that problem (upgrade treatment). Also have to buy ampoulse “konon-konon” dpt instant result. Recently I saw their Yun Nam advertisement on tv, also put that ampoulse which I put on my face (as following their advise)onto skinhead/hair?????? That ampoulse didn’t help me any….

There’s always free lunch if you want to take. Just because you went for the free trial doesn’t mean you need to purchase something. It’s “Trial”. Consumer has the right to decide if they want to buy (more) or stop after free trial.

My sad story took a wrong turn:-
A little history from me.. I’m their regular client for 2 years now (sign up 2 yrs ago cuz conned by their pushy hardsell tactic, similar as everyone else’s here) and there had been no major issue with the treatment except maybe minor irritation or red spot from extraction after facial.
I have been avoiding to go NYSS for 3 mths now and my skin improved alot on its own with very smooth and fair radiant pink skin.
Unfortunately, last Sunday (26th april), I walked in to NYSS at Midvalley with clear smooth skin but 2 hours later came out with burnt, red and blotchy skin entirely on my face, and worst part under my eyes. Apparently the therapist had turned on the ultrasonic temperature level too high, thus my burnt skin. She used the ultrasonic for better collagen absorption. She herself admitted her mistake and blamed that the machine is brand new, so she doesn’t know the heat is so strong. Why can’t she blame herself??
Anyway, now I’m very worried that the burns have damage my skin tissue and severed them permanently. I also looked 2 ton darker after 3 days now since the incident, and my face is ever so itchy now and I can’t sleep well at night cuz always feel like scratching it. I don’t put on make up as I’m afraid it will aggravate the burnt skin. I looked as if I’ve been outdoor in the hot sun for 3 days.
Have anyone also happen to encounter similar incident or any of your friends or fellow blogger of NYSS? I feel so sad now cuz I risk losing my youthful face from this moment on. I’m 28.

I am not sure how much money those people featured in their ad spent to get their faces fixed in NYSS’s testimonies.
I am a current customer but I don’t see any results , in fact my pigmentation has gotten worst after going for their treatments and with raw patches all over.
I have signed up for their facial program which is very expensive, on top of that, the staff will keep pressurising you to buy more expensive ampoules.
I am not sure whether it is a strategy that they will just burn your face with their plant extracts and get you to buy more expensive stuff to fix it.
I just want to finish my course and get out of there. If anyone of you is thinking of signing up with them, don’t bother. That is all i have to say.

Before they discuss price with me on the package, they got hold of my credit card with the excuse that not all credit card is accepted by their company. And they want to check whether my type of credit card is entitled to free mask treatment worth rm75. So I let them take my credit card cause i thought their claim is legitimate. All the while they kept me in the “analysis room” so that I cannot peep at whatever they were doing to my credit card.
After I signed up my package of rm2800 (yes I parted with that money on that day itself) and reached home, I realized that the real reason they wanted my credit card is no other than to check my credit limit so that they can charge me up to that limit!!!! I felt so conned. I didn’t know they use such dirty trick to find out the amount of money we can afford to pay.
Damn tricky beauticians and NYSS trained them to con ppl of their hard earned money with such smooth skills.

Totally agree with you Sylvia. They ask us to fill in a form that stated how much our income. They said the form just for their information (but what for the information do they need?). Every time seeing their different consultant, each of them never fail to dig more info, asking about our career, parents n siblings. I’m aware of this when they try to push hardly to let them know my career. What so important to them to know my job spec. I did tell them my job (without prejudice)but since they still didn’t get did, then no need to describe details, of course they didn’t know something out of their field. Then I started to understand why the info so crucial to them.

But I’ve spent RM 13 000 for NYS treatment plus plus RM for their product only to see more scar, burn n darkness on my face. Lucky, I stop earlier without continue the course n now my face gradually back to normal as before. I think if I still want to listen them, back to their treatment, n let them conned me again, my face will never recover. They try to make us rely on them, get their service continuosly so that they can make more money on us.

Another thing i forgot to highlight – the skin on my chin area have been peeling ever since last year october. I showed them to my therapist and asked her is it because of their cream/cleanser is too drying because I am using NYSS whole range of product daily – cleanser, toner, exfoliating toner, soothing gel, soothing cream and tinted moisturizer and pimple cream. Of course she deny NYSS products are causing my peeling skin. I knew it she will always tai chi (blame other) to other things and never admit her fault. You know what silly excuse she says!!!
So silly was her excuse that I thought I heard them wrongly. She said, “I suspect it is lizard’s piss that cause your peeling skin.”
WHAT!!!??? How in the world will lizard piss on my chin. And if yes also the skin won’t be peeling for 6 mths would it? This just proves how unknowledgeable NYSS beauticians are and they will simply give whatever excuse they can find. I am so changing to other skin regime after this. NO TO NYSS!!!

At first I got redness skin, I wonder why everybody in lrt staring at me, n one aunty so kind stroke her hand on my shoulder and gave me her place while looking at me like pity. It happened after finishing that nightmare treatment. Then I knew when arrived at home, so shocked to see what they have done to my face.
Their staff put a mask on my face where that time I felt so hot and could see smoke got out on my face. I’m spokeless when she asked R u ok? Untill their staff (not my consultant)fanned on my face with her hand. So hot and sharp pain. The next day, I call them and they asked me to see my consultant the day after. Went back to my consultant, she and her branch manager simply said that it is normal for blotchy treatment, seem no worry at all at their face. They just asked me to go home. I believed what they said, wishing my condition will getting better.
But, several days after, I couldn’t stand anymore. My sister said so scared to see my face. I am sad, very sad, where go the original pretty look of mine? I took medical leave a week. So shame to face people. The redness changed to dark skin after recover from itchiness. I never request or buy that blotchy treatment. Why they simply did it without my permission even they said it is free bonus? Why don’t they finish my course before doing the free course?

hey everyone… it is a tedious work to file a case. but let me say this, NO PAIN NO GAIN. if you want your money back, you have to go through the hard way. NOTHING COMES EASILY. anyway, i’ve just file a case against them. i went to the Tribunal Pengguna at The Mall (thanks to Diwi for her assistance). it is located at level 16. easy to locate. i went there by 9am. so, parking was not that difficult (compared during MATTA fair!). the office was already opened when i get there. just need to sit for a while and read all the post up on the board. the next thing i know, i was served by this lady. the things that you need to bring are:
1) 3 copies of your own self explanatory letter, why you want to file a case on NYSS. it’s ‘butir-butir tuntutan’
2) you need to have the address, company registration no, contact details of the NYSS that you go
3) bring whatever documents for supporting, like your receipt, name card (if you have), the ‘contract’ of your facial package (if you manage to get) and any other documents related to what you want to file against them. all in 3 copies, please
4) a pen, of course! and money, RM5 to open the case, and less than RM5 for the ‘Pos Berdaftar Akuan Terima’ (to post one of the copied to the company. if you want, you can send yourself) and RM4 for the parking at The Mall.
it is not too complicated. at first i thought i was, but not, if you want to get a refund that you deserve. once completed, the setiausaha will checked all the documents and give you a date for court hearing. i must attend the court hearing. the date is usually one month after the date you file the case. thanks to wei chun for his guidance. now i am waiting for days to my court hearing.
another thing you would like to do is to write to your bank (if you pay by credit card) to dispute and get them to hold the charges, if possible. at least the bank know about your case and they can beware of any transaction to be done to your card by the company. i was informed by my credit card bank that 99%, i can get back my refund. hopefully yes. but i still stand a chance for the 1%.
DO NOT unwrapped the products. keep it as it is. remember your receipt too. remember to ignore all the calls from them. they will give up one day.
all the best to myself and anybody else who also file a case on NYSS! may the luck be with us!

So i told them that i will come but still confirm to make sure its just a free trial and no obligation to sign anything. they just reply yes,no obligation at all.
so today when i reached there,as normal the consultant bring me to one room to scan my skin and she told me that i need to sign for the S$300 which i said no to it but still insist. then i end up paying just a deposit of 50bucks. she told me to pay another $250 before end of may and even give me my next appt date. i do sign te package with just the deposit only. i read thru whether do i need to pay any loss if i decide not to continue. but no stated. just stated that ‘the package sign under own accord’

I knew a friend who recently just resigned from London Weight Management, which belongs to the same BIG company with New York Skin Solutions and Yun Nam Hair Care.
This BIG company is hilarious in branding themselves as some ‘overseas’ beauty professional—London? New York? Yun Nam?
Actually the big big boss of it is a couple of husband and wife who are Singaporeans.
My friend said as one of their staffs, they must attend twice a year Dinner and Dance, where all staffs must present some dance/drama piece. The show is also a competition where the branches are competiting a mont each other.
Actually the purpose of this D & D is also some motivation seminar to all staffs…similar with those doing in direct sale/MLM companies: a lot of speeches and blah x3 to call everyone WORK VERY HARD FOR MONEY AND LUXURY LIFE.
According to her, the big big boss say since they are big company, everyone MUST wear very grand costumes, dinner gown, shoes, make up & hair done by stylist…usually those branches who spend a lot of money on the costumes and sets will win the heart of big big boss.
I never try any service given by this company (neither New York, London nor Yun Nam), however the story told by my friend sure provides some information to us: this company is surface, money-faced and full of bullshit.
Luckily, my friend couldn’t stand it anymore and resigned, regardless she earns better monthly salary in ‘London’ than in other companies.

Hi everyone! I’ve come to put my two cents in.
Actually, NYSS is pretty good. I’m only 15 years old and I’ve been going to their facials regularly (six so far, with my mother’s consent of course) since March 2009 and I’ve seen tremendous improvement. Then again, I never had acne, just brownish patches left over from my skin allergies. So I guess it all depends on your skin condition. It’s sort of unfair that you guys are making NYSS shoulder full blame, because at the end of the day it’s all about the choices you make that reflect. :P
Um, also, NYSS the beauticians do NOT hard sell. Throughout the whole consultation process, there was only ONE consultant with my mother and I in the room. There was a point where I (or my mother, rather) had to reject one of their packages, and she said no more after that. She never tried to persuade me to buy their products, either.
I don’t know about you guys, but maybe certain branches have different ways of treating their customers. Oh, by the way, I go to the Vivo City branch, in Singapore. (:

Back to the story. I sms to the stupid tv commercial was told given the opportunity to bring a friend or a family member for the “free facial”. Thinking that it is really from new york!
I brought a family member along and yeah went thru all those scanning and questionaire before I was given the opportunity to sign up for 11 sessions for SGD500 (special student price) I told them I had a budget and only can pay $50 that day. And typically like some of the posts here, they mentioned that this promotion is only for the 1st time customer or visit or something. Either way telling me that if I can’t go back to think about it or it’s gone.
Trusting their services and unknowingly putting myself at a risk, I paid the deposit and signed that godforsaken contract or invoice or something. I only know that I am at risk today. 22 may 2009.
The facial was really basic as described in the package. Not up to my expectation though. Cleanse, barely-fantastic-few-seconds neck massage,mask, painful torturous forceful facial extraction and another mask.
Though the environment is all dim and blue, small but slightly cozy, the facial was so simple and mentally left my jaw hanging.
I didn’t want to be fussy and tried my best to be optimistic about this. After the session was over I was given the contract if u must call it. And no I didn’t get a copy of it. Which now I wonder why. They can really sweet-talk you till you forget to be cautious for yourself. That’s how they treated me and my relative.
On 20th may, my sister told me that her necklace is was left behind. Apparently there were two face-masked consultants who did her facial. The 1st one spontaneously advised her to remove her necklace in order to perform the neck massage. Under the treatment mask my relative said “no need its ok” but somehow or rather this fellow still remove it and told her that she put it on the table and don’t forget to take it back. So in and out were two different people who attended to my relative… It was claimed to be peak hours in a town location branch. After an hour plus the facial is done. My relative who was in a relaxed destressed mode changed.
I recalled that I overheard someone said in a flat brisk tone ” U can change now and wait outside”. First unconcious thought, it didn’t sound nice. On second optimistic thought, maybe the room needs to be used by the next customer. So I was still enjoying lying down with breathing the purified air by aromatherapy( not too sure if I was enjoying the treatment or the aromatherapy).
So we were all somehow too relaxed too actually pay much attention on anything else. That’s also partly why people go for facial. It’s supposed to take your mind off stuff.
So this necklace (white gold with diamond) issue was brought to their attention only get unfairness tretment in return. They didn’t get back as mentioned. We are the ones who keep calling them asking about the necklace. THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT ACTIVATED OUR MENTAL SELF-DEFENSE SYSTEM.
They seem to be reluctant, pretensive over the phone, claimed to be busy, promised to look into the dustbins and vacuums and ask the staff around. Claimed to have the search failed.
I didn’t wanna get involve thinking that my 10 sessions to go contract is at sake. But left me no choice because right from the few involved consultants to the supervisor to the branch manager are not helpful and certainly didn’t get enough customer service sessions. All the more we suspect that they purposely waited for the right time to grab the opportunity to get their hands on the necklace and now covering each other’s backside. And refuse to take responsibility. My aunt called tried to speak on our behalf but was told that the manager was busy and will get back to her. She called again a few hours later and was told to make an appointment in order to speak to the manager ( as if she was the queen or something) First was “will get back” then “need appointment”
Without hesitation my aunt went over. They definitely appeared to be “so not sorry over what happen”, defensive, talking irrelevant points to outwit my aunt, no apology and as if they had done their VERY BEST to help find to no avail.
The point is. You removed it with your own hands, and if you think you are working in a company with superb reputation, which we thought it was, you jolly put it back where it came from.
You were hinted once not to remove but you did (though without force), fingers will still point at you.
Think about it, a necklace that is worn and never once taken off and it is just so used to being around the neck and no thoughts of it being removed. When you’re relaxed, masked, calm and collected, feeling that you are really in good hands. And then this happen.
We didn’t really expect for the necklace to return but in the least do take responsibility. And don’t get defensive when being questioned… I too work in the customer service industry and if I made such mistake and being complained against, I would have been sacked or something. They claimed that they are very busy outlet since they are in town and thus unable to get their manners right. Plus the manager said that there’s no need to to speak to her cuz her supervisor can speak on her behalf. What nonsense. If the supervisor was fabulous in handling this matter we wouldn’t even wanna speak to you . We are “not-fussy-peple-who-just-turned-fussy”
I told them I wan service recovery. Don’t know if they know the meaning of that. This is just unacceptable and reflects greatly on your own management. Pardon my vocab and grammar cuz I’m just pouring it all out without editing.
We are defensive and angry and unsatisfied because they made us so. And what’s wrong with them. I am so shocked to tried google search for the USA main outlet but there is no such existence.
Is it really true the boss are just Singaporeans who could be con-people… I want out of the package. My instincts tells me so. CANNOT BE TRUSTED. I am just loss of thoughts of what to do next. I feel like my human rights have been abruptly stricken off myself… I’m just pouring myself out as I felt this could be the place where people share stuff they are experiencing.

Fafa, I suggest you make a police report on your lost necklace if all else failed. I feel sorry for you. Even if the police won’t do anything useful to recover the necklace, at the very least there is a record against NYSS. I myself lost one earing on my first trial at New York Skin. I was wearing it during the facial and somehow when the beautician was massaging my jawline, her fingers must have accidentally loosened my earing and fell down. I brought up the matter to her about my lost earring, she just shrugged and said I could have lost it even before I enter NYSS. But of course that’s not true, I was positively strong that her fingers had snapped open my earring hook because I heard the snap sound ‘click’ and my ear felt something dropped. Just like you, I think I felt too relax and did not even bothered to argue with her or request a search. I just told her, “It’s ok it’s not your fault, accident did happen”. But now I regretted it because it was a gift from my husband.

they were doing a promotion which said free consultation and I signed up for it with another friend. Well, guess what, there is no such things as FREE in this world at all, they use some scanning stuff for our face and then tell us that we have HUGE HUGE problem to be solve from pimples,,she made it sound like the end of the world and said we need a thorough cleaning. Well, I admit we are a bit too naive to fall for the trap and they said it will cost us $330 singapore dollar each. they made it sound so perfect that everything will be gone after this so I paid this shitty $330 and this is what they did
* cleansed
* 2 masks
* pimples, blackheads & whiteheads extraction
* brief face & shoulder massage
It wasn’t worth it at all..
the worst has to come..they literally FORCED us to buy their products..with like $180 singapore dollar for a 3ml bottle of treatment and they said if we buy 10, then we get 10 free..which works out as $90 per bottle and they said it can have 60% effect as the treatment done in the shop.. well..it is too expensive to think about it after paying $330 dollar and not even a bit satisfy with what they did.. we said, sorry..it is too expensive and wanted to leave then they introduce another package which costs around $195 for a cleanser, toner and moisturer and said will give us 10 free bottles of that 3ml treatment thing. Imagine, u buy $195 worth of skincare and receiving $1800 worth of treatment???? which is pretty obvious that they are ripping ppl offf!!!! We still sayy SORRYY..we have budget, although it is not the main fact coz usually a set of cosematic use by me cost around 500-600 sing dollars so that 195 is definitely not a good quality..
but but but..they continue to force us to buy and another lady came and persude us but we still rejected!!! so yaa..

Hi Natalia
It is good to hear that NYSS treatment suits your skin. For others who are not as lucky as you, it is unfair for you to call others stupid because of their dissatisfactions towards NYSS. It is our right and freedom to voice out our opinions and thoughts. Besides, NYSS offers different treatments for different skin types. If your skin is suitable with a particular type of treatment, isn’t it means that other type of skin should be suitable as well since it is a well known facial company and has so many so called specialists to analyze our skin types before they offer any kind of treatment?When we step into the NYSS, I believe the NYSS beauticians will say “don’t worry, this treatment will work fine for your skin”. Please correct me if any of them nv said this statement. Is it fair for you to say that “it only suit certain type of skin condition and not all skin types” ?If yes then why do they offer us the treatment at the first place? Or you are saying that their so called specialists can’t even analyze which skin is suit or not suit which treatment?If that is the case all of us are taking a big risk when we consult them isn’t it? If that’s the case don’t you think they should at least tell us that “this treatment is not guaranteed to work on your face, so sign it at your own risk???”
So if you feel very satisfied with your treatment, we feel happy for you but don’t call people stupid just because we have different point of view from yours. Take care and god bless.

I hv jus got my refund back fr NYSS thru d Small Claims Tribunal(for Singapore) so to all the victims of NYSS,DONT GIVE UP!!Go logde yr case at d Small Claims Court!!U can get yr $ back!N dont settle wif NYSS if they mk u pay for d products dat they ‘give’ u if u had never asked for it cos u dont hv to!!
Here’s my story:
New York Skin Solutions is just like the ‘True Spa’ case.They are only interested in making customers sign up their REALLY EXPENSIVE packages.Then when customers have problems like in my case where i am proven ALLERGIC to their products,it’s VERY DIFFICULT to contact the consultant involved and even worse,THE MANAGEMENT TOTALLY IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS FOR REPLIES AND EMAILS!!!
I called up New York Skin Solutions(NYSS) about eye treatment and was told i can have a free first time trial.So i arranged to go Ngee Ann City branch but once there,they told me there is NO free eye treatment,only facial.Then the consultant Adel (anyone who gets her as the consultant will be in BIG trouble!), keep pressing me to sign up for a package before we (my mum went with me) are allowed to do the free facial.So everyone out there! DON’T BE CHEATED BY THE FREE TRIAL!
And their package is VERY EXPENSIVE too! $3,531(with GST) for 10 treatments,and so-called FOC 5 treatments.When i said it was too expensive for me,it became 20 treatments for the same price.It was still over my budget but the consultant Adel say GUARANTEE that my eyes can be treated so my mum said can give it a try as i had been searching for a cure for many years to no avail.Only when i sign up then we are ‘allowed’ to do the treatments.And when my mum expressed no wish to sign up any facials with them,Adel gave her a ‘upgraded’ collagen free facial to try.
But once i sign up the package,Adel don’t even bother to do my treatment for me! What’s more she even say i don’t have to bother to change into the robe when doing facial??And i was left lying there waiting for whoever is available to come.The supposedly 1 hour treatment took 2 hours all due to waiting for the consultants as i don’t know exactly how many of them take turns to come and do my treatment!And after we finished,Adel still keep pressing my mum to sign for their facial although we told her my mum already have a very big facial package elsewhere and we had not even had our lunch at 5pm due to Adel’s hardselling and kept delaying our time.And to make my mum sign,the supposedly minimum 10 sessions became 5 and then became 3!And Adel still can say that she is not forcing my mum to sign but to give them a try???I think they are so desperate that if you walk out they will offer you just 1 treatment @ $50!
My mum was so hungry that she was having gastric pains already so in order to get out of the New York Skin outlet she just sign the 3 facials @ $321 as she knows Adel will not let us walk out like that.But the worse is yet to come!MY FACE BECAME ROUGH AND UNEVEN after the treatment which includes a face mask so i went down to show Adel and tell her I AM ALLERGIC TO THE TREATMENT and so want to cancel the package as i really can’t do it since it’s not suitable for my face.But Adel say its IMPOSSIBLE because their products are 100% botannical and so are suitable for everyone.Adel then gave me a face cream ‘for sensitive skin’ to apply and INSISTED THAT I CONTINUE WITH THEIR TREATMENT.When i asked her if my face gets worse,is New York Skin going to compensate me?She just PUSHED THE BLAME to their product people to come and settle.But i am dealing with New York Skin!!!They are the one who is FORCING ME TO CONTINUE WITH THE TREATMENT IN SPITE OF MY ALLERGY, not the product people!
Anyway,MY FACE GOT EVEN WORSE after using the cream! It was PAINFUL even on application and RASHES DEVELOPED ALL OVER MY FACE,especially my cheeks and MY FACE GOT ROUGHER!! And when i stopped using the cream,BROWN SPOTS DEVELOPED on the areas where the rashes subsided.I called Adel again to tell her confirmed that i am allergic YET she still ask me to go down let their ‘skin specialist’ see first.I know she STILL WANTS TO FORCE ME TO CONTINUE WITH THE TREATMENT.The next day i went to see a doctor and he agrees that i am allergic and wrote me a note to show NYSS.The doctor says if after taking the tablets he gave me my face still don’t recover,i will have to go and see him again for a cream which will CAUSE THE THINNING OF THE SKIN ON MY FACE.
This was on 23/4/09 Thursday.From then on,I COULD NOT BE IN TOUCH WITH ADEL DESPITE NUMEROUS CALLS, AND EMAILS ATTENTIONED TO THE DIRECTOR. She just called on 2 separate occasions in the morning when i was busy and when i returned call and leave a number of messages there was no reply.So finally i wrote in my email for NYSS to reply me by email then there are no excuses of not being contactable and i also expressed that i do not wish to deal with Adel anymore as she obviously can’t be bothered about customers after they have signed a package! Only on 27/4/09 Monday when i left a message for the manager of Ngee Ann City branch,Celina to call me,then Adel called.Once again she asked me to go and see their ‘skin specialist’.But SHE HAD PURPOSELY DRAGGED FOR SO MANY DAYS UNTIL MY FACE IS RECOVERING SO WHAT IS THERE TO SEE NOW?When i asked Adel if we can settle the issue when i go down to see them she said SEE HOW.What kind of answer is that??So what am i going down for??There is no clear instruction from NYSS.
I had stated very clearly from my very first email to NYSS,ATTENTIONED TO THE DIRECTOR, that i do not want to be running up & down like a fool for them to ask me to try this & that anymore.Its not that i don’t want to do the treatment it’s i can’t! Yet NEW YORK SKIN IS STILL TRYING TO FORCE ME TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR TREATMENT DESPITE MY ALLERGY?? My last email to NYSS was on 27/4/09 Monday EMPHASIZING that i do not wish to liase with Adel anymore and requested for NYSS to send me an email explaining the procedure we are taking to settle the issue.And can you believe it? UNTIL NOW I HAVE NO REPLY FROM NEW YORK SKIN starting from the very first email that i had sent on 16/4/09 Thursday! This is the kind of service you will be getting from New York Skin that when customer have a problem,even the management do not bother! I think NEW YORK SKIN IS JUST ANOTHER TRUE SPA!!! They just want you to sign their package then they won’t bother about you anymore!
If anyone still dares to try them out,good luck to you!
I had tried other facials but never had my face been considered sensitive so i really do not know what NYSS is using.Someone told me NYSS products are all from China.Whether that’s true i do not know.Well,to everyone out there,please think carefully first if you really want to try NYSS out.Frankly speaking,with the prices NYSS are charging and yet with SUCH LOUSY SERVICE,you might as well go to a professional doctor.I think the prices are quite similar if i am not wrong and yet the assurance from professional doctors will be much higher too.
And i was told NYSS and Yunnam Hair Care are under the same boss.If that is true,Yunnam Hair Care had an advertisement some time ago showing a man who is balding in the centre of his head but that man was never ever balding according to people who know the man.So judge for yourselves how honest NYSS can be.

Wiz,
Over here in Malaysia, we have to lodge a report to the Consumer Affair department for our dissatisfaction. We filled up 3 identical forms (which we wrote outr dissatisfaction. so, I got to write my story.experience):
– 1st copy is for ourselves
– 2nd to be sent to NYSS, either by post (by Advice of receipt post) or by hand (if you dare)
– 3rd copy keep with the Consumer Affair dept
Right there and then at the Cunsumer Affair dept, they secretary will schedule us a date for court hearing. usually is 1 month after the date we file the case.
So, when the NYSS receive the document, they have to acknowledge on this card that comes along with the Advice of Receipt post.
So, I waited for them to contact me. It takes about 1 to 2 weeks. then, they’ll negotiate with you further, asked why you wanna cancel the treatment. They’ll start to tell you all the bull shit that you sign voluntarily and no refund policy and bla bla bla. Still, insist to get your money back. Remember, you have your consumer rights!
Bear in mind, DO NOT CONTINUE with your facials. In Msia, once you have go for the treatment, they will be instructed by the judge to refund whatever UNUSED money. so, if you use your facial already, it’s consider a loss. therefore, DON’T GO anymore! besides, if you happen to get their product, STOP USING. DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to open it. if you have open it, they’ll deduct the product money from the unused treatment.
So, they called me to go to the outlet to sign this stupid form that ask why you wanted to cancel. I went and i wrote the truth ‘No confidence after reading people’s website’.
So, I waited again, for about 1 week plus, they called back and said the refund can be done, but there is a 6% charge for the refund. it’s bullshit. i told them, if they want me to pay the 6%, i’ll see them in court and let the judge to decide. in the end, they decided to take the 6% charge off and refund me all my money less RM50 admin fee.
1 week later (that is 1 week before my court hearing), they will call and said the cheque is ready for collection. If the cheque is cleared before the court hearing, we can cancel it. The secretary advised to ensure the cheque is cleared before cancelling the court hearing, just to be safe. if the chequ is not cleared by the court hearing, then just attend the court hearing. you’ve got nothing to lose.
hope the above explains your concern. first move you need to do it to go to your Consumer Affair dept and lodge a file against NYSS. Asked the people there, what should you do next. I believe the people in the dept are supportive and helpful. =))

2nd time – the manager of NYSS, calling me again and keep on talking about she needs to check my skin bla bla and all those nonsense stuff..So, I just say my decision is final and I want money back.
3rd time – This the manager keep the consertaion short, but said ‘no need to waste your time to go to the court bla bla.’ Well, I told her, ‘I don’t mind wasting my time and go to the court, as long as I got full refund’. So, she asked what time that I free, I was about to say tomorrow, Saturday, but she said, on weekdays la.. I said okay, on Thursday…another 3 more working days before the Tribunal hearing…
Wish me luck…:)
For those who feel cheated by NYSS, just go ahead and file your complain to Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna. Oh yes, the company registration number for New York Skin Sdn Bhd is 678698-H and New York Skin Solutions Sdn Bhd is 484578-W. So, it would be easy for you to fill up the calim form..:D

Hi all…
Today is my Tribunal Hearing. And, yup, I can get my money back. The tribunal has issued an award that asked NYSS to pay me within 14 days. I didn’t get full amount, because they minus the RM50 admin fee and 5% (it’s according to law, I know..). Tribunal hearing is quite quick and easy . You just need to explain to the President(they don’t call him judge), and NYSS will explain on their behalf. NYSS is repesented by their lawyer. No need to be afraid ;) It’s consumer rights to get your money back. The beautician that CONned me also they, she brought along her boyfriend, short and ugly..hahahaaa. She never talk to me, only the lawyer talk to me.
I went to Tribunal Office Putrajaya, no traffic jam and plenty of free parking
So, those who feel conned by NYSS, just go ahead and file your complaints. You got nothing to loose… ;)

hey people.. wow.. thanks for those advices you people gave..
cause.. i am someone who actually goes around trying for facial services to find the best. NYSS seemed so cool and popular on TV that i was attracted to it. now i realised i’m wrong? ^^ hahas. thanks!
oh.. and some additional information i wish to share..
i am 16 and have problematics skin problems, acne just wont stop popping.
imagine, not a day with clear skin! oh ya, well, i’m a gal of high male hormones, that’s why i suppose.
i’ve been to bioskin,sg, what i like is their services, friendly people and they IPL to heal acne and scars.. yeah, it helped.
for a while. blackheads are still there! well, they dun do extraction, reason being, as heard from them, extraction is bad for skin and etc.. however, what i believe is that if you have the skill, scars and injuries wouldnt even happen. so i still trust extraction. i left after the 10th treatment-in a package.
another in far east shopping centre,sg, well, i forgot the name xP where service is average, but they would keep pushing their packages to you which i said to them in a nice tone. i was there for a trial there at S$48. then as i knew that they wouldnt let me leave without signing a package, i lied. that my mum wants to see results before enrolling me for the package. besides, i was alone. mum working. i also mention that money wasnt a problem, which was obviously fake, and results is more important.
another is beautyforever, service and everything else was alright, but it didnt quite work for me. didnt really see results.
so far, afterall.. the best that i went to is still at..
“at beauty wellness” people were very friendly and always greet you with smiles. consultants there would chat with you and give you more information about you skin problem. at times, you would hear laughter in between your conversation. they are really friendly. also, i went there for a trial,$38. hmm.. they actually add things that they felt good for you without charging extra since the price had been stated to you beforehand. at the end of it, they asked how i feel and directed me to a room with a cup of tea and meanwhile told me what was my skin problem and what treatments they have. also to sign a form that i tried their trial and payment of S$38. The price is rather affordable and they didnt even ask me to sign for a package! i had to ask! i was like… wow? wat’s best is that they didnt pester me to sign! i did it willingly??!?!???! my own money though): yeah, i work part time^^ now i had brought 2 friends to them and also went for 3 treatments. my skin condition is improving but, yeah, not totally good yet and i just started..^^ i’m still waiting for good results! wish me luck^^ you people can try if you are willingly to give it a go, it’s in front of paya lebar MRT, singapore post. Basement 2.
good luck!(:
and do leave me a mail for more enquiries about any of the shops i went to and their comments! also, i do sell face products from korean and you may wish to know more! do mail me and i will direct you to my webpage^^ take care! candiesnsnacks@hotmail.com

My colleague went to Yunnam Hair care last year in the hope of getting rid of his hair scalp problem. For the first visit, he was being persuade to sign a package of S$9600 consist of around 50 treatment. at his 2nf or 3rd treatment, he was being pushed to sign a 2nd package which more than $1K. and he signed for some more package maybe at his 5th or 6th visit. in total he has signed for more than $15K.
initially the girls are very hardwarking on removing pieces from his flaking scalp before they apply herbs. after a few treatment they just put some herbs on his head. and Only then he realize that he was being psycho of wasting money on unworthy treatment. His scalp condition is not really getting better.
He told me everytime he went there they will put him into a “interrogation room” where the consultant will try some psychology technique to get him sign on the paper.
And quite often he will see some angry customer scolding them. and asking them not to persuade them into signing and said will never come back after the package is all finished.
He also told me that the senior staff were treated by the company to go for trip to overseas country like Japan.
Better don’t go if you don’t want to use youe money to sponsor their trip

To New York Skin Sdn Bhd ( 678698-H)/ New York Skin Solution S/B (484578-W)
Attn: Managing Director/Chief Operation Officer /General Manager
First of all, my regards to all top management personnel.
Second, i wish to inform your that you have a very successful and convincing sales strategy towards all customers but your service management is totally SCREW UP!
I was convince and impress with all services you provided during the discussion before i sign up. And the services was changed in 360 degree after i have had sign as a member. The most disappointed was the lousy services as below:
1. Never revert/ come back to me with any info after promises.
2. Empty promises at Service given.
3. Lousy services during my facial treatment. (after the manager resigned)
4. No appointment confirmation/reminder provided as committed.
Lu San taking care on my complain and never come back to me as i know that she had been transferred to other branches. It take more than 3 months and still not revert me any information.
Why should i suffer and still giving chances to New Youk Skin is because of the former branch manager was persuaded me to give a try to the new person in-charge. but you all never appreciate.
Your Beauty Consultant/Specialist, the latest person in-charge for Subang Jaya branch, call her as (J) was spoiled my reputation to my friend with all words without fact.
In closing, (J) has had tell me indirectly that i have to make a very firm decision at going to the tribunal office to make a complain and get my refund back from your because of your five star lousy services provided to me.
I wish you management could tell (J) that management sending her to take charge of Subang Jaya branch is to obtain back the confidence of consumers but offense the customers.

I was a victim of NYS too. I only realized I was cheated by NYS after I have done my research through this blog.
I was impressed by their advertisement in TV and then I went for the free trial treatment. But when I reached their outlet at The Curve, they started with their strategy by scanning your skin and then told me how serious of my skin problem. After that, they told me that the free trial treatment is not suitable for me and I should try for a recommended treatment by them which I need to pay RM 580.00 for 1 treatment. According to the Consultant, I would not see the result if I go for the free trial treatment. Then, I paid the RM 580.00 for the treatment.
After the treatment, the Consultant bring me to the discussion room where she started with her scanning of my skin again just like other victims. Then, she started with her marketing strategy and very persuasive until I cannot stand with them! She told me that I need a 20 treatments which the original price is about RM 16k plus and if I sign up today the price would be reduced to RM 9,800.00 and cum with a full range of products. I also enjoy 50% discount for further purchase of their product as I would be their company member. I told her that I need to think about it but she keep on pushing me to sign up. I was not allowed to leave the discussion room. She even asked her Manager to come into the room and scared by telling me that my face need immediate treatment, if not my cheek would turn into black colour. I was so scared by her words and at that time I thought they are giving me their professional advice. With her words, I was seriously considered with their recommended treatment. The Consultant also told me that she would give me additional free gifts with the package treatment, if I sign up today. I then signed up with them by credit card payment with installment plan.
After I have made the payment, the Consultant gave me a set of the products without the free gifts that she has promised earlier. Then, I asked her about the free gifts. She said the free gifts would only apply to my face each time when I come for the treatment at their outlet. From that point of time, I knew I was cheated. But I do not know how to get back my money cos I have made my payment through credit card.
Few days later, I submitted my cancellation notice to them after I have done my research through this blog. But they refuse to refund to me and then I proceed to file in a claim through Tribunal Consumer. A set of my document was sent to them for their completion as a defender. After 1 week, their so call Specialist who based in their HQ in Menara IGB, Mid Valley wanted to meet me to discuss of the refund procedure. I have made my trip there to see her, but in fact she has no intention to refund the money to me. She even threaten me that she has consulted their Lawyer that from the past they have a similar case like me, where the Tribunal court only awarded 50% refund to the consumer. I was so angry with her and I told her that I want my money back in full except she can deduct the RM 50.00 (admin charges) and the product value which I have already open up the products. She is really well trained by the company with her thick skin face. When I complaining about her Consultant cheated me by promised to give additional free gifts but in fact it was not a free gift. You know what is her answer? She said my Consultant did not tell you that the free gifts are allow you to bring back home and you did not clarify with her at the time she offered me the free gifts. All this is my misunderstanding and not their fault. I was so angry how can this girl denying an untrue fact in such a manner. I did not talk to her much after all she is unable to decide.
Another week later the same Specialist called me back that the company has decided to offer me a lesser treatment which only charging me for RM 4900.00 for 10 treatments but without 50% discount for any purchase of the product. I told her that I have no confidence with the company already; therefore, I want my money back. Then, she told me that besides, RM 50.00 for admin charges and the product value, the company would also charge me for the 5% credit card charges on my total bill i.e. RM 490.00. I was not agreed with her and told her that it should be shared by both parties as I am also the victim. Moreover, these charges are between bank and merchant, nothing to do with consumer. She said her company did not do anything wrong but I am the one who requested for the refund. I was so angry and told her that we have nothing much to discuss further and shall settle the case in Tribunal court!
I am very regret for signing up the treatment with such an insincere company of doing business. They are not professional at all and using their advertisement to cheat consumer to their outlet for free trial treatment. Then, they will start of with their tactics of pushing people for business. This is how they earn our hard earned money!!

NYSS did not care what happened, they say when my face condition settle, we will start back the treatment. Since I do not want to waste my package that I have paid for so much > RM8K…. after nearly one year, in May 2009, I call them back and asked can I get my refund of unused package since I do not want to contonue. They suggested me to start with a very basic facial treatment but I do not want.
My question is, can I go and report to the Consumer Dept since I have sign for my package for more than a year. I still have my receipts etc and unused products.

I am also 1 of the victim of NYSS. I have signed up a treatment session with NYSS but there is no result after 8 sessions. I have stopped continuing with my treatment there. I felt very reluctant to step into NYSS again. The consultants there are really not concern about our hard earn money. What they care is about their commissions!
Each time when I complaint about their services and their products. They would not admit and the worse thing is that they keep pushing me to purchase more products and they told me that these products would help me to speed up the result that I want. The thing is the treatment that I paid is already not cheap (RM 4900), but I did not see the result. They really hard sell their treatment and products when they pursuing me to sign up the treatment. The consultants there pretending that they are professional but in actual fact they are not. They dress up with a nice suite of uniform but they not even speak in fluent English.
I totally agreed with the people comments here. I personally felt that these are not rumors but in fact are their true and bad experience that the people experienced in the SUCK NYSS! Through this blog everyone can express their feelings, no one would say bad thing about the company if the services and products are good. In fact, people would even recommend to others if the company is good as a free advertisement.
From here what we can noticed is that the ratio of the good comment against the bad comment is about 1 over 1000. But please be remembered the money that you are paying for the services and the result that you are waiting for… is it really worth it??? The prices that they are charging are to cover their high advertisement expenses. Think properly… “Should we as a consumer to pay for their high advertisement expenses?’’ What we want is the result and not paying for their company’s expenses.

I just back from NYSS. A “specialist” wallked in and asded me how i feel with their treatment. I told her “i dare not to say, as i know if i say i dun satisfy, sure you all will ask me to upgrade or buy more product.” And this rude lady replied me, “Oh, i was so hurt to hear that. In fact i just want to know your feed back and see how we improve.”
Do u believe she is so kind? In fact, what i told he is another kind of feed back. She suppose to ask me why i have this impression with nyss, but not to say “i hurt her”.
I speed more than 10k (hurt my wallet) and did not see any results, i still did not complain. In turn, she complain i hurt her.
And as usual, whenever i say i haven see any results, they will say “your internal of skin and foundation is getting much better’. This is what i heard from 6 months ago. And im so curious, if the internal is getting better, why external cant see any improvemnt at all? In what way they can cure my internal without touching my external skin? That is no logic at all.
Moreover, the previous “specialist” told me “this package will able to change your skin”. But now this lady told me, it helps to maintain your skin only and it works on your skin internal layers.
What kind of bullshit they are talking about, and how rude is all this nyss “specialist”!

hey there.
i went to nyss (in subang) after signing up with their free trial at their website. got a call few days after for my appointment (23/11/2009).
my consultant is really nice lady. i told her i just want their free trial. nothing more. she did a skin analysis and said that my skin is really bad(acne scares and pimples) and need treatment a.s.a.p. also i need to upgrade the so-called ‘free trial’ to a whopping RM500. and the free trial wont do much differences to my skin as the trial is only a normal treatment. eh? i just told her i don’t have that much money (i’m a student). she said i can put a deposit of RM50 and can pay the rest later. fyi, the RM500 entitles me for a treatment and 5products.
i just said, i don’t even have 50bucks (just to see maybe they wont persuade me). she asked me to go withdraw money of which i told her my mom keep my atm card(lol she really believes it).
i wasn’t totally convinced. she showed me pictures of one of her client. within 7months her skin is flawless. i was in awed.
in the end, i’m a total sucker. i pay 50bucks, got my intensive treatment and come back the next day to pay the remaining. the consultant said if i were to sign up for the package, it will cost rm2800. a student price as i were told. i just said i’ll be busy with my exams for this couple of weeks and might consider later. she said ok and i havent receive a phone call since. eheh? we’ll see what will happened..
and like most of u, my skin really did improve after the first treatment. lucky i stumbled upon this blog :). after reading all the comments, i decided to see my dermatologist to see what he can do to improve my skin.
better be safe than sorry!

i thok of getting facial now just bcoz my face got sensitive (rough) after using Shi***** deep cleansing mask 1.5 mths ago… sigh.. so sad.. it caused my skin serious dryness, redness, blotchy and super itchy the next day.. rashes on my cheek…gosh.. ugly.. all this r signs tat the ingredients in the mask doesnt suit my skin.. allergic reaction lor.. i used it for the first time only n had to throw it away.. $$$$$.. its not some cheapo brand also ok.. but i din complain cos i know it probably doesnt suit my normal skin only n tat i bought it WILLINGLY to try on my own accord.. all i wanna point out fr granny story here is –> abandon products straight away when your face get shitty!!! u dun need more time n trials to prove tat ur skin will improve after getting used to the products.. it wont.. i guess i just hv to go c derma specialist la for qualified advice..
Also, I’m very happy to come across this website as there are ppl i know of were having problems regarding con businessman/company a few months ago.. i think all scammers and con artists operates the same way (regardless whether they are beauty/food/professional advisors companies).. my very close relative went to a consulting company based in KL & Penang called Ozylife to make some applications for visas.. she found the company ad on The Star papers a few mths ago (the company is still advertising for fresh victims).. when she went to the office, the ‘migration agent’ was very keen and all smiling talking to her.. even bragging that he is a qualified lawyer as well as some famous clients he had handled(some are our current ministers).. urh.. hello.. real lawyers shud know wats called privacy act and u shudnt be talking on some high profile’s u know wat… anyway, my usually smart relative signed the agreement, failing to read the papers, failing to notice that he doesnt even have a real office (just rent an office room that operates in a shared services office with a few receptionists at the front)with no company name upon entering the ‘firm’… she was impressed by the look of the ‘firm’ with a few receptionists not knowing its a shared services firm.. usually ppl just have one.. ai.. she claimed tat she had been charmed by the sweet talk on his efficiency to solve matters (takes complicated cases n solve it like kacang) + impressive assistants he had.. ai yor.. then after signing the agreement that costs RM9k (this is only the first stage, more charges will have to come as RM9k is just service fees!!!!)..
she had troubles finding him to check on progress… n everytime she got hold of him (2 out of 10 times), he wud sound rude and always said very busy.. meeting.. no return calls (unless saw different mobile numbers then will quickly return calls thinking it is from new clients)… even scolded her when just asking for something regarding some procedures (she just wanted to make sure she provided enough details).. did not appear when she go to his office.. then she got mad and wanted to terminate the agreement.. but he said no refund cos already done the things for her.. services provided.. HUH??!?!? wat services? not receiving calls? scolding customer??? giving Words.doc that can be done in an hour after she terminated the contract (just to show he had done some jobs)???? calling and threatening ??? gosh.. i also don know wat to do when asked cos i’ve nvr been conned (so far la.. esp not on such expensive services leh).. she had been scared and stressed.. i don know how to help also.. i jz asked her to seek lawyer’s help.. she admitted her mistake of not researching properly and thinking carefully.. all cos she was in a rush … desperate to get things done..
tats y i am happy to c this blog.. although its not in similar industry n case, maybe i can ask her to try the Tribunal Pengguna or wateva.. i donno.. she was thinking of letting it go cos takut mati for her safety (in case the man comes to find her for revenge) although at the same time very super heartbroken for the flying away hard earned $$$.. aiii..

WoW!! So many bad feedbacks.. I have really bad puffy eyes and dark circles so I send a sms for the free trail promotion. To my surprise they called me and made an appointment with me tomorrow. I was sooooo happy, I thought maybe just go and see the result how but after reading all the comments, i’m thinking twice especially after reading one comment that said the 1st free trail = beginning of nightmare. Woah! i’m was taken aback by it.
I’m gonna be a no show, no pick up phone tomorrow to revenge for all the victims of nyss. Let them taste their own medicine like how you all keep calling them but cannot get them.

Now I see lot of their advertisement on Suria Malay Channel primetime. Late last year was on English Channel and I am sure they have advertised aggresively on Channel 8 or U. I just wish all the viewers do their check before making appointment and spend (because of aggressive selling tactics). Their products are made in Malaysia, no proper content label, no place of manufacturing and really look and feel inferior. Only the name so ang moh sounding.Just take a good look at their products and compare to those you have purchased.

i went to new york skin care last few days.. at ***** (malaysia), and at 1st they really served me right. from the 1st i already ask them that is’it true the 1st trial is free..? then thay said YES!! so after that, they bring me into a one blue small room to recognize my skin problem, ok and then suddeny SHE ask me to sign the agreement. And you know what, all what the above people said is TRUE, they are really FORCING US TO SIGN IT !! Then ask me to pay RM580, at first yes i did made a payment, becos maybe i thought i get the facial cleancer and all for skin problem, and after all chit chat…. they then bring me to the facial room, and start pulling my black/white heads, struggling to pulled them out!!!! put 1st mask, and 2nd and 3rd mask ! After done the facial treatment …… and start again to the agreement $$$$$$$$$
Now here you go : i still got the paper that they wrote for me, saying that 1 treatment for RM580???? What the fuck??? just nw im paying is for only the “pulling white/blackheads only? without get anything…? oh damn, starting from that i knew that they trying to give me a shit! and you know what, they ask me to do for 20x. thats mean “580×20= RM11,600.. oh man, im not lying ok, i was shocked and telling them that why is it so expensive, infact i am not sure if i can make it for 20 times treatment, than she said ohh u can make for 10 times only, then reduces again until 5 times, hahah so you can see that they are really forcing ryte.
ACTUALLY THEY MAKE A PRICE FOR A DIFFERENT PERSON U KNOW !! THEY JUST AUTOMATIC GIVE THE PRICE !!!
at the end, she asked me to call my parents @ my bf to support me, so suckss man.. Yes, i got money, but the think is, this is so fucking LIE and totally wrong, i never heard 1 treatment for just putting a mask and charge for RM580 …?? and so on, i said i got to go and let me think, and know what she saID ” AYO SAYANG OO, BECOS THIS PROMOTION ONLY VALID FOR TODAY, NEXT TIME YOU COME WILL CHANGE OOO, I DONT WANT YOU TO WASTE MA” you see…. she bagging me like want to cry hahah… RM 11,600 ????

Hi all
Need your help. I have also been a victim and I was conned into purchasing their 20 session facial package for RM8920 yesterday (It was supposed to be RM9800 but they deducted RM580 for the 1st facial which i did and deducted another RM300 based on another voucher they gave me.)
It was only when i saw this website that i realised the danger of continuing with New York Skin Solutions. Now i really need your help because the payment has already been charged to 2 of my credit cards.
How can i now get a refund? I went there again earlier tonight to demand a refund and the consultant said she can only revert to me by tomorrow as needs to check and i told them i was not fooling around.
Technically, my face has not experienced any breakouts yet (i pray and hope that doesnt happen) and i already opened all my products because i wanted to test them. I dont mind having to paying for the products as long as i get the main chunk of my money back.
The consultant said that i need to be interviewed by their Outlet Manager but i told them i did not want to waste any time. I told them i lost confidence in them because of all the bad reviews i heard and i do not want to continue any longer.
If they do not give me a refund, should i lodge directly with the Consumer Tribunal? If i do, will i stand a good chance of getting my money back? I know it has been charged to my credit cards but i will not be using their facials in future.
Please help, need your advice urgently, thanks all

Hi all,
Juz to share what i have gone through with NYSS. I registered my self there as I have a sign of early pigmentation problm. Eventho it is not so clear, but i just dont wish to see them on me. So during my first visit, the consultant said that im so lucky to come to NYSS as they can solve my ‘little’ problem from getting ‘obviously seen’. With her broken English and Bahasa, i was told that i need to go thru 20 sessions, part of it to make my foundation strong then only they can proceed with the pigmentation procedures which altogether cost me 8k but i ended up paying 7.2k in CASH after 10% discnt.After few treatmnt, I kept on asking my consultant on when is she going to start my pigmen treatmn as she said my base is already strong to start it.
After my 6th treatment, my consultant had introduced new silk face mask with nano technology which cost RM980.00 but if i let go 1 treatment of all my 14x in balance,i only have to pay RM580.00, so i decided to give it a try. The treatment went smoothly until i was called to the consultation room only to be urged to add up another 9.8k if i want to continue the pigmen treatment. I told her why do i need to pay extra as i already paid 7.2k for the whole treatmnt. To my horror, she said what i paid 7.2k was only for the basic treatment just to get my foundation strong! So to make my pigmen removed, i have to pay another 9.8k! She talked as if the money fall from the sky! She even made her plan for me, if i let go another 5 treatmnt (i still hv 13x) i only have to pay 5.8k. And as pushy as b4, the offer is valid only for that day, next week no more. I felt so angry, confused, and conned as i never get even a copy of my agreemnt letter/file that iv signed.
The product is so-so, only to make my skin dry. Im now on NH Collagen drinks which made my skin smooth, supple and even my pigmen seems to fade away after consumed for 2 mths. My consultant proudly said it’s a work of their product but only to shy away after i told them the truth. After what had happened, i already ignore neither their fon calls nor sms. Looking 4ward 2 bring up the case to the consumer tribunal in stead of hurting my self. My hard earned money become their prophit in such an easy way! Come on guys, lets take our first step together n teach them a good lessons. They deserved it!

I went to New York Skin solutions (singapore) for a free trial. It went smoothly, the girl was ok but even if its true that they insist that we sign up after the free trial, I merely turned her down & said that I will consider them as an option for my skin. You see, I have sensitive combination skin with small visible pores on my nose. I am not going to spend so much on something I am not sure will work down the road so I told her that I will need to see if my skin worsened after the first trial. And I INSISTED I will see my skin condition after the first treatment before I decide to sign up and she agreed. So far so good and I did see a difference in my skin right after the free trial. No pimples popping out. Still considering if I should sign up but after reading all these feedbacks and complaints, turned me off completely about New York Skin.
Word of advice: if its hard for you to say No, use my technic and say you need to check your skin condition from that treatment before agreeing to sign up and spend thousands on something you are not sure will work for your skin. Not all facials go with everyone. Keep on repeating yourself if she insists that its good for you or promotion is only for that day. You are the customer, she needs you not you need her.

Hi me again, just wanted to update that the consultant called me yesterday and said that she would file a report and let me know in 1-2 weeks’ time of her management’s decision.
I am wondering if they still refuse to refund my money, will I have a strong case to claim under Consumer Tribunal? Technically my face didn’t break out after that first facial yet and when she asked why I wanted to stop I just told her it’s because I heard negative reviews. I’m just afraid that their management will say that my reason is not good enough to get a refund.
Also, she mentioned that she can’t cancel my credit card payments. NYSS will only write a cheque if they do refund the money. Is that true? Should I still continue paying my credit card bills?
Please advice!

Dear Conned,
You have to be persistent in getting your money back irregardless what the Outlet Manager has got to say. Since you have opened the product, the chances of them deducting a big portion of the money is very high. They will take advantage on that. I can also tell you that they will prolong your claim. They will keep delaying issues. So, just take note on the tactics. They are right, they cannot cancel the credit card payment. Basically, if your claim is successful, then they will issue you a cheque with XXX amount. Then, it is like contra off already. Good luck to you. It is a lengthy process. So, just be patient. All the best!

and…donot turn up for any extra sessions of treatment no matter what they’re offering u. as each time u attend , ur money will be gone. So stop attending it.
By going thru consumer tribunal, they’ll give a time frame to nyss to return back ur money. if not mistaken it’ll be within one week.or else action will be taken on them.
i would advice u to lodge a complaint, the hearing might be 2 months later, better than u wasting ur time chasing after these kinda ppl. they’ll use whatever tactics to drag ur time and money.

i should have searched the net before i went to NYSS for the free facial treatment in late january this year. same as most of you, i got ‘forced’ to buy a package from them, 5 sessions for collagen treatment for RM1400. i guess i don’t have to mention the details how they made me do it, as most of you have experienced that. i instantly regretted the moment i stepped out the shop that day, but i thought if their treatment is really that great, i would just try it out and hopefully it will improve anything. btw, i didn’t really have much problem with my face, my only concern was dehydration, but during the ‘consultation’ they said that my face condition was so bad if i don’t let them treat it, i will look so super ugly in just a year or so, wow..
ok, so i went for the first treatment late february, my face was clear, bright and radiant before i stepped in the shop, i came out with red face, that was fine i thought i was just sensitive with all the squeezing the consultant done during the treatment. but when i woke up the next day, i have rashes all over my face, dry, itchy, patchy.. all i can say is horrible! i waited another day hopefully it would go away but it didn’t, i called them twice 2 days later to complain about it, and they only told me that will ask the consultant to call me back, of course she didn’t. so i went there the next day to demand a refund, the consultant told me they didn’t have such policy, and they never had any client has such problem before, some that had was only the first time and then the rest of the treatments there were all satisfied. she offered a soothing treatment for me on the same day to see if that could sooth it down. i accepted and after the soothing treatment my face looked fairer but it only lasted a few hours. next day when i woke up, my face got worse. i had to go to work in that horrible looking face and the itchiness just drove me crazy!
in the end i went to a dermatologist to get it sorted, my dermatologist told me that he has many clients having the same problem with NYSS. i went back to NYSS to demand a refund, and they gave me the same rubbish again about no such policy. they said they can only change my treatment or exchange it for products, or introduce a friend to take over my balance, i told them no way, i won’t want my friend to suffer the same problem as me!! i asked to speak to people in hq but they never wanted to tell me, just telling me no one can make decision in hq and only the IT people are working in hq. what?? the ‘best’ thing was, they kept telling me i was the only person who has this problem and when i told them my dermatologist said otherwise, they told me it was the other way round, that many of my dermatologist patients have problem with him and had to sort treatment at their saloon! what a load of rubbish, i searched the net and all the comments about my dermatologist are positive, and NYSS? well, need not to say.
in the end, they asked me to fax them the letter from my dermatologist and they will try to send to hq and there is no time line when they will refund it to me or whether they will do so. i really want to file a report with tribunal but i am not sure should i wait, give them a bit of time to sort out with hq (if there is any at all), although i am quite positive that they will try to drag things until i give up on it.. the problem is i didn’t take any picture of my face with the rashes (i don’t want to keep pic of my face in that condition!), i only have a letter from the dermatologist to prove it, of course the consultant saw it the day she gave me the so called soothing treatment, but i don’t think she will stand by my side.
if any of you would like to file a report with the tribunal, please let me know, or you already have done so and gone through the process, i need some advice, thanks!! my email is thbobble@yahoo.com.

Dear all, again I’m one of the NYSS victim. It was my 1st time trying the facial treatment (the RM38 trial) and I signed up a RM3xxx facial treatment by Credit card instalment scheme on 25Feb1o after 2hrs sweet talk from the consultant …. Right after that I got a very bad comment from my friend who engaged with NYSS before & see all negative feedback from this website, plus found out that they have really “cut-throat” me (my other gal friends get a lot cheaper package out there with other well-known skin care centre….. ). At that moment, I was annoyed and scare ( my friend & I suspect that they might have putting some steroid contain product on our skin during the treatment, so that our skin doesn’t turn red after they did the black heads extraction). I returned to the NYSS on the same day to ask for package cancellation….Sigh, for sure they refused to do so, the consultant (via supervisor) asked me wait til 01 Mar said her ‘manager’ will let me know the answer to my request.
Then the “consultant” called me said her “manager” want to see me on 06 Mar to settle my case. So i met up the “manager” as scheduled. She kept asking reason of package cancellation, i just told her that i’m not comfortable to start the package.
Then she asked me write them a letter stated the reasons of termination & fax to them, said they will later arrange me to see their “specialist” again next week…. (i wonder what “specialist” they have in that skin care centre?!) After all, the “manager” pass me her name card which only stated her as “supervisor” …..(are they try to fool me?!)
Actually now i’m half-way filling up the Tribunal claim form which i download from the website…. but get stuck at the “Particulars of Claim” session…. coz i don’t know if i write the reason of cancellation –“after read some bad comments on the website & friend’s bad comment”… is strong enough to get back my refund?! Does the Consumer Tribunal side accept these reasons?? i’m confuse…. hope to get some advise from u gals who successfully got back the refund….=.=”

Anyway, just get ready bcoz tey are good at cheating people and giving false statement and a great liar. They even lie in the tribunal court saying bla bla bla…
They might use or adjust any card that you sign after treatment as the agreement that you alreaddy agree but you should knoe that under S112:akta perlindungan pengguna, the tribunal has the power to cancell the agreement between consumer and the company so stick with it.
And also get ready for last minute hardselling tocture from them to cancell the case but don’t ever ever trust their offer. just let the tribunal decide and put it on paper… within 14 days you will get back your money but of couse after some small deduction.

Dear Sleepy Angel,
The reason that I wrote was that I lost faith and confidence to use NYSS products and services. Somemore, based on my skin condition that time, I have totally lost confidence and am very scared and terrified to try any of NYSS products and facial treatment. Then, I also mention a little bit of the staff’s bad attitude and service.
My case was settled before the court hearing. The Branch Manager decided to refund the full amount to me, minus a handling fee of RM50, I think. I can say I was lucky at that time. You have to be fierce and do not have to be afraid of their threats and tactics. Just stand firm and not persuaded by their sweet talk anymore.
Good luck, Sleepy Angel! =))

Thanks for your advise AcneGirl. After reading, at least I’m more confident on the case.

I know the Manager tried to cheat me again over the phone said they will charge me certain percentage due to the bank charging them on creadit card transaction termination….But I’ll hold my mind till they agree to fully refund me (like what u mention). Now just hope that I’m lucky to settle it b4 the court hearing… It’s been really a nightmare going through this…. I don’t think I will step in any skin care centre after this.

Dear Sleepy Angel,
Please note that NYSS should NOT charge you any percentage due to bank charge them and etc etc. No such thing! I work in an industry where I also do refund to client credit card. I never charge my client for any refund. So, that it NONSENSE. They are trying to grab as much money as possible from your pocket. So, go and tell them that this bank charging is a piece of crap. Threaten them to check with your credit card bank as well as demand for their merchant bank and tell them you will call up to check. This is to show them you ain’t foolish.
Please bear in mind that NYSS is very last minute. For example, your court hearing is on the 6th, probably they will ask you to go and get your cheque refund on the 5th. If they do not respond to you by 2nd, Friday, call to harrass them. Give them some stress.

Corner, i suggest u just write this in ur Form 1 as well, said they didn’t give u any “package contract” & receipt on the day u signed the package, so u were not informed about any terms & conditions(same to me, i only got it after 2nd meet up with the manger….). I believe this a strong point that the Court hearing judge will believe that NYSS is unethicaly conduct a misleading bussiness trade. For ur case, they shouldn’t charge u anything on the facial treatment package, besides the admin fee RM50 only. Aren’t u doing the RM38 first trial package (i mean u prepaid the RM38)??
Of course u have the Right to demand a termination & refund when u are unwilling to start the package, Because we are the Consumer! Sure u will be asked to meet up their manager, specialist and they will try their best to persuade u stay with them… just don’t bother what they said during those meetings, meanwhile go file Tribunal(cause this would be ur capital to win back ur money–“the filed Tribunal Form 1”).

Corner: in anything you buy, always always get the receipt even if you don’t need it to claim back tax or use it for filing. You can always recycle the paper a few months (wouldn’t say years for skincare treatments) later if there’s no problem with the purchase. That way, you’ll have proof of the transaction. Without proof, it will be harder to argue that what you claimed had happened but you can still try.
Bear in mind that Tribunal also looks for proof – receipt, pictures of your skin before & after, unused/used products.

Juz won my case against NYS in the Consumer Tribunal last Fri. Hey, Girls…if you are not happy/felt cheated with what you have signed up for…please file your claim with Consumer Tribunal. Simple and fast process to get your money back…the Consumer Tribunal has a 45 days KPI to settle each case. Here’s a brief summary of my case :-
Aug 2009- initiate claim of unused treatments after a blotched job facial, seeking RM5k
Aug-Jan 10- correspondences with NYS , final offer from NYS RM2k.
Jan10- filed with Consumer Tribunal for full refund of package of RM10k
2 weeks later- 1st hearing- The judge(known as President here) tried to persuade NYS to settle at RM5k but they refuse to accept. President postponed to 2nd hearing to enable my doctor to give opinion.
Mar 10- 2nd hearing- doctor was not present, President requested NYS to increase settlement amount and their final offer RM4k. President awarded RM6.5k, (RM1.5k more than my initial claim) and NYS to make payment within 2 weeks.
Juz for info…on my 2nd hearing, there is another 2 claimants , one against NYS and another London Weight Management(same owner). All 3 of us won and got our money back!!!
So, everybody out there…my advice, dont bother negotiating with them and waste your time…just file your claim with Consumer Tribunal. best of Luck!

Hi,
Instead of feeling regret and have lots of grumbling to nyss, I want to logde my case at Tribunal Pengguna to claim back my unused package (or maybe all money I spent!!) due to having itchiness, redness and even swollen on my face after 5 times of treatment.
Question:
1) i just notice i dont even have the official receipt!! I remember they never gave receipt for package that i sign-up. They only gave receipt on product purchased. I even throw all the credit-card statement and slip. But, i have a so-called agreement photocopy which stated how much i paid, for wat package, i cannot ask for refund bla bla. Do you think nyss will deny that i have paid money to them? Will Tribunal for Consumer accept my lodegement if I don’t have proper receipt? (can any one let me know did nyss give you receipt for the package you sign?)
2) I have downloaded Form 1 from Tribunal website. Im now stop at Name of Respondent, IC No, address etc. I don’t think those people in nyss will willing to give me this info. And im also not sure shall I fill in the name of the beauty therapist who did facial for me? Or the “skin specialist” who offered me this program? Any advise? Where is nyss HQ address in Malaysia? What is the company name?
3) I read the instruction in Form 1, it said both party cannot be represented by lawyer. But I read one of the post in this forum, someone said nyss was represented by lawyer. True?
4) Do I need a witness during hearing? I only have photo of my face showing the side effect. Thinking of who is willing to be my witness…
Thanks.

Hi All,
I just went to Tribunal on 23th April 2010. Is very easy. I went to PWTC one (near Legend hotel). We need to pay Rm5 for processing fees.
My condition is i signed up for 20sessions worth RM5.6k using credit card (installment 18months). The branch is at Pavillion one.
For address i think is better to write the branch that u went as it will be easier for the ppl thr to contact u for refund before hearing. haha.
you can try to call the branch and ask for documents/add by saying “ur fren is interested, so u need to giv him/her some info. U will meet him later so better fax u asap cos my fren is sooo interested. he/she wont go to the branch before see all the documents that i signed up”. tat is wat i said to get some of the documents for me to put in attachment for Borang 1. haha…
Now already 2nd day from the day i went Tribunal, my NYSS manager kept calling sayin she can reduce to 10sessions (she said cant before). Now I have to stand firm by telling her “i only wan refund, if not meet at the hearing”. she kept saying settle outside the mahakamah. haha…
so guys, dont worry!!! juz go to Tribunal!
FYI, my hearing will be on 17th May 2010. Hope I will get the refund before the hearing. haha…

3) your package is so cheap lar, RM5.6k for 20 session, just rm280 per session…student pacakge or just normal cleansing facial? this nyss price can be vary vary…terrible.

I filed with the Tribunal for the RM8k which was charged on my credit card to remove my facial acne scars. Treatments include a placenta treatment for the skin which was needed to ‘cure’ and ‘fade’ the scars but they never touch the area where the scars are with this super expensive treatment. My scars are pitted and deep and there were only 5 scar treatments in the package. They must be joking themselves if they think they can rid of it within 5 treatments. Some more tell me laser treatment to remove scars are harsh and their technique is so much better. I put every single detail of my account into the Form 1 and gave super HI-RES photos of before and after for the Tribunal. Had to spend some money and a lot of researching but it’s worth it to get ALL MY MONEY BACK!
NYSS just made my skin break-out even more. I’m glad after all my 14 treatments I took close up photos of my face after the treatment.
My hearing is on May 11th, and only today they called me to tell me they want to refund me for the other treatments which I haven’t used for 1K. I almost wanted to ask them to seriously go fuck themselves. They speak like 8K is not a lot of money.
Wish me luck guys!

Janice, good move! Keep saying NO NO NO. If they wanna settle outside by refunding you in FULL, then it must be a YES.
Anon, you can only get back the money that is unused. if you signed up for 15 sessions and has used 14 sessions, then you only get a refund of 1 session worth of money.
Kelvin, if you have any products, DO NOT OPEN at all! coz once unsealed consider sold.

1) Hi acnegirl, u mean we can only get back the refund ONLY for the unused treatment/product EVEN if v go to Tribunal? But from what i know, as long as v can proof that their product/services are defective, v can claim back no matter what is put in the “agreement”.
2) below of wat i wish to share we shall bring out during hearing :-
a) nyss always claim that their product is formulated in usa and packed in malaysia/singapore, so that their product can be sold tat cheap (which in fact is still not cheap). Some product even not stated is formulated in usa at all.
b) she told me all nyss customer has 50% discount of product, but the price she sell to me is still same as price printed on the box, i ask her why she said is for the customer’s “convenience”. I also ask her in what situation the product will be sold at 100% price (bcos earlier she also told me nyss dun sell product to outsider), she said nyss will sell product to those 1st time walk-in. Sound fishy rite?
c) Their face & eye ampouls, eye mask, collagen drinks (3 of the main product that they make money from us) do not have any discount – this one they never mention during sign-up, but will keep asking us to buy ! She told me, if i dun use it, then it waste the money i spend for my treatment. And do you notice they r not interested to ask us to buy other cheaper product (cleanser/moisturizer etc?) even v need it? i guess is bcos they dun make lots of money from selling tat stuff.
d) the treatment they initial propose to us, mostly is for “repair” and to strengthen our foundation. This is a good tactic because even if v dun see any good improvement, they still can say “oh, your foundation is much better. Now if u want to see results, u hav to continue with more advance treatment. Else, u just waste your money.” Then they start to introduce us with their expensive treatment and seem like v r stupid if v stop the treatment. Curious to me is, if our skin foundation is strong, why cant v see any improvement at all as our inner layer of skin will grow out to the outer layer of skin.
Besides, anyone can advise me where can i check the details of the product approved by Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM). I want to check their ampouls where on the packaging stated “diluluskan of oleh KKM, MAL 05040675K”. From tat maybe i will know where this product is from….china/vietnam??

Hi Kelvin,
If you read all the above comments, most of the victims only get back what is unused. =(( I know how painful this can be, esp when you feel cheated and your pocket is burnt. But you can always try to convince the judge with your above comments. Perhaps the judge will command NYSS to refund you more. But just have the minimum thought in mind to avoid any disappointment later. Bottom line, NYSS is a total scam. Spread the bad news to everyone! I wish i could write to the press to complaint also. =)))

My sessions with them has been going fine till yesterday. (the outlet in lot10) When i got there they told me my usual Beautician is on leave and i got this girl Audrey or something, from the 10 min mark onwards she was trying to sell me the “upgraded’ package that’s 580 rm for 10 sessions. Ive alraedy paid 3k ish i think for the package im on now (20 sessions) She was so hard selling i really felt like reaching up and snapping her neck while she was trying to talk me into upgrading. Ive been at work the whole day and wanted to go relax and sleep while im getting my facial but that girl kept on rambling about how my skin is now solid (ive got an acne problem and really i dont see the difference after 10 sessions) so my current package would be a waste and i should just upgrade. I kept trying to stall and saying i will have a think about it and after an hour she came back in and offered to start the upgraded treatment on the spot and i could pay 300 first. I told her ive got a 100 on me – (this is where i almost lost it) she said i read your file and you paid by credit card so why cant i sign it on my card again, so i said that it was my parents card and i really just started working and im not going to be able to spend that sort of money. So she actually asked how much i have in my atm card! I said nothing havent got paid etc so she said how about i pay the 100rm in wallet first then the rest next week. I rudely replied “how the hell im i suppose to pay parking and eat my dinner if i give you all my money?!@ wtf” then she said why dont i call my parents to ask if i can start the upgrade next week. Does she really think people piss cash out? Damn 6k package is like my half a year pay. Im really wondering about how im going to go back for my next treatment (Im fine with just finishing my package whether it’s a waste of money or not now, it’s too late) with them hard sellign again. It’s quite fucked up when they are trying to hard sell you things with needles on your face (extraction) you feel kinda vulnerable and scared to say no to them.

Hi Kelvin22,
If you want to get back your money, no need to waste time to beg them pay you back. Just go to tribunal. Their manager or PIC (they said is Singapore HQ) will NOT see you if you don’t bring this to tribunal.
It is a tactic they use to avoid you, and you will free sorry if you keep pushing the staff who cannot make decision and pretend to be very pity in front of you.
I settled my refund last year without sueing them to tribunal, and now I regret.
Reason is, this nyss will only pay your refund if they know that if you bring the case to tribunal, they will have to pay you more. So why satisfy with just some amount of refund only? And if they know that you don’t have enough proof/fact to win in tribunal, they will just ignore your claim. They are now experienced enough of being sue, so they know all this.
One more I hate most is, they forced me to sign a so-called agreement letter before I got my refund/cheque, “ I agree that I will not disclose anything confidentials on nyss, and its product/service bla bla.”
Damn it! If their products/facial left scar on your face, we also have to keep quiet? This is a fact, not their company secret. By what law or act they have the right to ask us stop talking?? They want us not to tell about their unethical business conduct which I think now is well-know.
No wonder as I read through the forum here, those people will never post anything here after they got their refund, as scare of being sued back by this “con-pany”.
I wish there will be a guy who is so rich, free and brave enough to sue this con-pany to the fullest.

But from wat u wrote: “She offered a RM12000 and a RM8000 promotion price but my mum had to say no cause she needs to save some money for me to go to college soon. So after a few talks and all, the lady told my mum to pay RM500 because its only valid on that particular day.”

Since SF have undergone the free trial, they may feel ambarrased not to sign-up and pay for anything. So they just paid 500 even they knew the chance they come back was very low.
This nyss con-pany is using a well planned psyco tactic. So for those who go for “free trail”, be ready to sign-up (no matter how expensive it is), or pay them RM500 deposit (for nothing)!

Thanks to unbelievable, im sure it will b useful to me and other victims here.
I will get my refund soon, and it is true as mentioned by others here that nyss will not entertain u unless u go to tribunal or nccc.org.my
So for those current nyss customers(or victims), if u dun c the results as promised or even encounter worse skin problem (which nyss will say is ‘detoxation’), stop it and NEVER listen to them to top-up your treament, or buy their ampoulse/mask/collagen drinks which cost you thousandsSSS$$$ yet zero value.
Go straight to tribunal or nccc.org.my to refund watever you can.
Do not feel that u hav “wasted” wat u have done/spent if you discontinue it. The money that u safe will allow u to go to other sallon for one year, bcos u cant find another sallon like nyss that can slaughter you 10 to 20k in just one year!

Hi all,
8tv is helping nyss with all the impressive tv advertisement again!!
It is expected many of them will be trapped again. One of my fren (who I forgotten to share with her the trick of nyss, so sorry) has also went there. B4 she went there, she has asked in-and-out, upside-down, again and again over the phone was the free-trial really free. The con-lady keep saying yes yes yes to her. But after she went there and after the facial, the con-lady asked her to sign up 20session at RM8k, she refused. Then the con-lady told her you have to pay for the “free” trial, bcos it is only “free” if you sign-up!!
Therefore, all brother and sister, let help to stop this by writing and posting to all forum, newspaper, and if possible the person-in-charge in 8tv. I have listed out all my points, some of the point I copy and paste from other people. You may add in more and copy and paste to other forum which you can think of, in order to stop more victims.
By doing this, this is not a crime, this is public welfare! If they don’t believe, ask them to go to Tribunal of consumer claim and see how many cases logded there.
Unethical business conduct of New York Skin Solution:
1) For the so-called free trial, you will be pulled into the facial after the scan, after tat the con-lady will scan again and tell how amusing was the 1st treatment and start to offer her “promotional price”, you will refuse and say need to save money 1st, then the con-lady offer a so-called deposit to book for the “good price” which is “limited”.
Since you have undergone the free trial, you may feel embarrassed not to sign-up and pay for anything. So you may just paid 500 even you know the chance you come back is very low.
This nyss con-pany is using a well planned psyco tactic. So for those who go for “free trail”, be ready to sign-up (no matter how expensive it is), or pay them RM500 deposit (for nothing)!
2) Take note tat even if now they offer u “good price”, but later on they will ask u to top-up and buy this and tat in order to see results. They will say if u dun top-up and buy their ampoules, it will be a ‘waste’ for what u have paid or done. Tats the tricks. U will still end up spending more than 10k in a year or so, and results not gaurantee (in black and white, just from their mouth only).
3) or they will ask you to go for facial every week or even every 3 days (they don’t care your skin can take it or not), so even if they offer you low price, u still finish your package very fast and have to top up again and again before you can see any results!! You can easily spend up to 20k in a year if you listen to whatever they said. If you have redness or peeling on skin, they will say “it is a detox and healing process” or they will say “you eat seafood rite? You dun get enough sleep rite?” and still ask you go there frequently to quickly finish your package and top up more. They don’t care want happen to your skin. When you sign up their facial, you will have to sign an agreement form (to protect themself) saying that you understand that you may have skin redness/itchy/etc on skin due to facial, and they will ask you to sign without any explanation and only after you have paid!! Watch out!
4) nyss always claim that their product is formulated in usa and packed in malaysia/singapore, so that their product can be sold at cheap price (which in fact is still not cheap, and I don’t believe they are so considerate). Some products are even not stated are formulated in usa at all and they still say yes. Some product package stated “Product of Malaysia” but the lady told me just the box is product of Malaysia!! It is totally no logic tat the product is formulated/mixed in usa, then stored in big container, bring to Malaysia/Singapore and pack in small bottle. This is in fact more complicated (unless it is done manually – not sanitary!!) and how much it can save?
5) she told me all nyss customer has 50% discount of product, but the price she sell to me is still same as price printed on the box, i ask her why she said is for the customer’s “convenience”. I also ask her in what situation the product will be sold at 100% price (bcos earlier she also told me nyss dun sell product to outsider), she said nyss will sell product to those 1st time walk-in. Sound fishy rite?
6) Their face & eye ampouls, eye mask, collagen drinks (3 of the main product that they make money from us) do not have any discount – this one they never mention during sign-up, but will keep asking us to buy ! She told me, if i dun use it, then it waste the money i spend for my treatment. And do you notice they r not interested to ask us to buy other cheaper product (cleanser/moisturizer etc?) even v need it? i guess is bcos they dun make lots of money from selling tat stuff. Besides, for those expensive mask and ampouls, they will ask you to use EVERYDAY in order to see results!! Without caring your skin can tahan or not.
7) the treatment they initially propose to us, mostly is for “repair” and to strengthen our foundation. This is a good tactic because even if v dun see any good improvement, they still can say “oh, your foundation is much better. Now if u want to see results, u hav to continue with more advance treatment. Else, u just waste your money.” Then they start to introduce us with their expensive treatment and seem like v r stupid if v stop the treatment. Curious to me is, if our skin foundation is strong, why cant v see any improvement at all?? as our inner layer of skin will grow out become the outer layer of skin.
8) their staff facial skill is extremely low – their hands are either too soft and too hard, and one more for sure is too fast. Their cleansing takes less than 1 minutes (even without wipe off completely all cleanser), not thorough (they just simply touch both sides of your face and forehead only), lousy and forceful extraction skill, their facial massage less than 2 minutes too and really unskilled (I also can do it), and the so-called advanced ultra-sound treatment takes less than 5 minutes and only a few rotation around eye (it is a magic if that can improve your skin). Why? Because they serve more than one customer at the same time and want to make as much money as possible. They are not interested to improve your skin after you have paid them.
9) they are very stringy on the material they use during facial. Their first mask is just a normal cheap sheet mask (like cold water or toner, cant feel any gel/cream texture at all). Every time I asked they will say it contains a lot of ingredients but don’t know what. Their second mask, usually they apply a very very thin layer of gel type mask on your face, then cover with a very very thick “cement” which will dry off and harden in 5 minutes. You can pick it from the dustbin and check after she walked away. And they isint any ampouls during the facial even that costs you a few hundreds per facial!! If you want, you buy separately, RM180 per bottle for one facial.
10) their so-called “skin specialist” and the staff who do facial for you will “act” drama together to attract you to sign-up. If you feel the price offered is too high, then their “skin-specialist” will walk into the room and pretend to use her “power” to reduce the price “specially for you”, the normal staff will talk to the skin specialist “Wah, u offer her price like this low ah, then you have to sign on my behalf because I cant offer that low price…”. Then, you will feel that u r really stupid if u dun take that good opportunity to sign-up that “special price” package. I still remember when the staff told me that a “skin-specialist” will see me, I asked who she was, was she a doctor? That lady dared to answer me “Yes.” Later I found out that this so-called “skin specialist” are just her partner to convince me and make more money from me!
Claim back money:-
If you want to get back your money, no need to waste time to beg them pay you back. Just go to tribunal. Their manager or PIC (they said is Singapore HQ) will NOT see you if you don’t bring this to tribunal.
It is a tactic they use to avoid you, and you will free sorry if you keep pushing the staff who cannot make decision and pretend to be very pity in front of you.
I settled my refund last year without sueing them to tribunal, and now I regret.
Reason is, this nyss will only pay your refund if they know that if you bring the case to tribunal, they will have to pay you more. So why satisfy with just some amount of refund only? And if they know that you don’t have enough proof/fact to win in tribunal, they will just ignore your claim. They are now experienced enough of being sued, so they know all this.
One more I hate most is, they forced me to sign a so-called agreement letter before I got my refund/cheque, “ I agree that I will not disclose anything confidentials on nyss, and its product/service bla bla.”
Damn it! If their products/facial left scar on your face, we also have to keep quiet? This is a fact and public welfare, not their company or product secret. By what law or act they have the right to ask us stop talking?? They want us not to tell about their unethical business conduct which I think now is well-know.
No wonder as I read through the forum here, those people will never post anything here after they got their refund, as scare of being sued back by this “con-pany”.
Good luck.

Dear All,
i’ve recently been conned as well, by London Weight Management.
I did not realise all these posts until i signed up and later that night search in the net for their information.
Then i came across all these n decided to cancel my transaction.
i called them early next day, in the morning before they start their business, n the consultant asked me to present at the outlet personally to discuss over it.
During the discussion later that evening with the consultant and a manager, i realised they do not intend to make any refund at all, instead, try to convince me to continue. also, they mention that it is really rare that a customer asked for refund from them and their reputation is good.
They told me that they cant make decision on what to do with me yet, whether to give refund or not as they need to highlight it to their management. The manager also said that most likely i can only exchange with some products or sell the package to other friends. I want nothing else but my money back!
i just sent a complaint to NCCC yesterday, hoping to get a reply from them soon.
Can anyone here try to give me more insights of what i can do besides these?

i doubt they will give u refunds. but if u say yes to their package, this is what will likely happen…
well, for the first trial, they will make sure u lose at least 3kg to gain ur trust. but later on after u have signed up and paid for everything, u will only lose several grams for each session. the machine and treatment they use during trial is ‘better’ than the actual slimming session.
if ur weight does not show an improvement, they will of course, put the blame on you..saying “u mesti tak jaga makan”, or “mesti you tak ikut diet kami beri”, or other shizzz.
even if u sign-up for say, 10 sessions, they will try as hard as they can to extort more money from you by extending your sessions (of course, that means more money)..until they are satisfied that they have sucked ur pockets dry, only then will they stop.
during ur sessions, they will try to sell their products to you i.e coffee, and whatnot. and if u say no, u will notice a major attitude difference and keep pressuring you till u say yes.
these ppl are used to being sued and facing all sorts of attacks, so they are always improving in their defense strategy. they get better and more sly each day..for normal naive customers, they will twist their words and make u feel like ur at fault.
but then again, by the end of the day, its up to the customers themselves to make a choice..so if you want to say NO. then just do so. with pride. ^_^

But, i said NO!. seriously, that lady made my face even more worse. i suspected that she made it intentionally so that she can force her patient to spend more RM. she said that 10 treatments = RM 2800. but if i pay RM 5800, i’ll get 10 treatments FREE 10 treatments. if u multiply
RM 2800 X 2=RM 58000.

This one was the cheating, when she reached there the consultant help her to scan her skin then said her skin more serious need get the special treatment so need to top up cash to get the special facial treatment, she asked my sis to sign the facial package for 11 sessions for $1700, my sister refuse to sign package because quite expensive, then she keep to ask my sis sign 6 sessions or 3 sessions but my sis still refuse to sign package. Then my sis ask can think she never went there because she dun think to try this facial already but the consultant say cannot, what the meaning “cannot”, I am the customer I got the right to reject any trade however this one still is free treatment, my sis still young and alone to there, because of this “cannot” she just paid the money then do the treatment. After I know this event, i very angry then go back with my sis to get the explanation what the meaning cannot leave, we hope can get the answer from them, but the answer was because they reserve the 2.5 hrs to let u do the treatment so must be finished to doing the treatment, wat the fucking answer, I am the consumer I got the right to decide, I never see any T&C must be doing the treatment after doing the skin scanning however this one still is free one, they just keep to said this point and is the company rules, we dun agree then finally the branch manager just ask us get out from there, what the poor service and the word shout out from a manager, I never saw the service like that, how can they treat customer like that, this is a cheating and bad service, I suggest better dun want consume in this shop, 0 star service and bad reputation, I must be complaint to the consumer association of Singapore and newspaper to get back our dignity.

hi, yesterday i went to the NYSS coz winning their contest and get free treatment worth RM699. I wonder after the treatment, the cost of the treatment actually was only about 300++. never mind coz i thought it was free.Then suddenly the beautician approached me to signup package worth RM9000 and after less is about RM4500. i said i cannot pay for the price and she go for the lowest package worth RM3000++ (not too low actually). Arghh.. then my credit card got problem n she want me to pay deposit RM500 and she gave me 6 step products. After read all the comments and i also cannot afford to signup the package, should i cancel straight away?help me..i’m in dillema whether to cancel it or not.

Dear Faza,
I have signed up a RM6k package with New York Skin Care but I have decided to cancel it due to financial constraints and the negative comment from the public. They did proposed me the refund amount but I have rejected them as by law they have to pay me more which they reluctant to pay and keep saying that I will get lesser if bring the matter to consumer tribunal. With the advise of NCCC and consumer tribunal, I have lodged file with consumer tribunal and my care will be hear on 9 August 2011.

Hi, 1st of all I would like to express my gratitude to Ms Diwi on her advice given. I too is almost a victim of NYSS. Two days ago I brought my girlfriend for a trial on their facial treatment. It was a deal in which I purchased from the website which costs me only RM10. At 1st it was kind of attractive whereby it was a 90% discount deal with a free set of mini facial treatment set and RM300 voucher. Since it’s just RM10, I brought my girlfriend for the trial and there’s no harm trying,right? According to the NYSS staffs, the treatment will take 3 hours to complete however I was shocked when my girlfriend called me to fetch her after an one and a half hour. When I reached there, the so called beautician is presenting the package to my girlfriend and guess how much it cost? A whooping RM7,000 for 20 treatments. Again, I’m in shocked. Upon seeing my arrival, the beautician try to convince me into signing up the package for my girlfriend and I told her that I would like to consider and discuss it with my girlfriend upon reaching home but the beautician seems like over hard selling and she even try to sweet talk us into signing a lower package deal or just purchase a set of the facial treatment set which is around RM500++. Again, I told her that this is not the time for us to commit. The beautician told us that the promotional price is only valid on that day itself and ask us to at least purchase 1-2 sessions of the facial treatment to secure a membership so that in the future, the price will remain as a promotional price. I was reluctant to sign and from my working experience in customer service and front line sales environment, there is no such thing as “TODAY ONLY PROMOTIONAL PRICE”. These are all marketing tactics and strategy. Finally, when we ask her to give us a few hours for us to decide only then she let us go. Upon leaving, apart from the beautician’s name card, we don’t even get the free gift and the voucher as what have written in the deal that I purchased. To add on, according to my girlfriend, during the session of the treatment, the beautician even asked her how much is my girlfriend’s credit card limit. Why would they want to ask such a private & confidential question even though they want to sell us something? It totally ridiculous. No doubt that every man would like their other half to have a healthy and beautiful skin however for me, like most of the writers who wrote here, it’s better to find a skin specialist or dermatologist.

hii…
not sure if what i’m going to post suited here…
1st of all…thank God that i’d managed to read this thread b4 made my way to NYSC…currently am having eczema (due to asthma, that’s what the dermatologist told me) and is constantly looking for skincare that suited my condition…thinking of trying Dermalogica…but then my bf suggested NYSC since they are more specialized in skin –> dn know where he got that info…any way right now will certainly not going s 2 there…ever!!!thanks to all…
however…i would 2 suggest this 1 aesthetic clinic called as ‘Klinik Ayu Jelita’…somewhere in TTDI…was recommended by one of my mom’s colleagues…this clnc is more towards skin and weight management –> ooops…does not include hair…sorry…(n_n)…
anyway…regarding on their service…the best i’ve encountered b4…my mom 1st went for their weight management…she undergo lipolysis on the tummy 4 around RM3500…including several other services like radio frequency and some what i can’t remember…later on…mommy decided to take their laser package 4 my big sis (she used to be suffering from acne breakouts…which cause her face full of acne and scars!!!)
the package my mom chose was about RM1500…included was 3X laser treatment…3X skin whitening shot…3X microdermabrasion…and 3X mesoplasma…to me…it’s quite affordable to such by just RM1500…(not sure with u guys…hehe)
later on my mom bought another laser package to reduce her pigmentation…which is also RM1500…but with other things almost as the same as the 1 my sis took…and i have been taking their whitening package since my skin is not as bad as my sis –> not sure if eczema is more severe than acne…but mine is not that severe…pheww…thank God…
so far…i could see differences in both my mom and sis where mommy physically slimmer than b4 –> especially her butt part…o.O…sorry mommy…and sis where her acne gradually decrease by the time she’s having her 2nd laser treatment…on her 3rd…the doctor (yup!!!it’s been handled by real doctor specialized in aesthetic field) said that what’s only left is to clear off her scars…
also forgot that mommy’s pigmentation do also decrease through every session…and their product is not that expensive…except for some of their medications…but still…everything is done direct supervision of the doctor –> forgot their names…1st timers are required to make in-clinic appointment and there’s a price list for all of their services tooo…no pushy assistants and this i can assure you…been there almost every weekend to accompany mommy and big sis…
hope this will help for those who’s looking for affordable services in skin and weight management…again…sorry if my post is somewhat inappropriate for this thread or make u guys feel like “ish budak ni…buat semak thread orang jela…” hehehe…
thanks and best regards,

I too am a victim of NYSS (laughable that it has a connection to New York since it’s a Singaporean company). I’m not usually a gullible fool as I have lived in London and New York but I have been in this case. They took advantage of my skin condition (syringoma) and first misdiagnosed it as milia seeds which I corrected and then asked me to get a package to have the treatments. This was just the beginning….. They deliberately made me sign a package that didn’t include the actual syringoma treatment so I would sign up twice, thus costing me twice as much. I am disgusted with NYSS and my consultant (who is totally two-faced without a genuine bone in her body). I feel sorry for my consultant as she lives in her mother’s home with her husband and son but it’s not my problem to pay for her to have a better life at my financial expense just because I have a skin condition? It costs $350 to have laser or less and thousands to use NYSS. They even lied to me about the benefit of ampoules for syringoma (typical). Needless to say I won’t be using NYSS after my sessions. I’ll give them a New York “like hell no”. Just kidding – I’ll continue to be polite and bore them with my financial constraints so they will force me out of the door before you can say “ampoule”!

Erm, I should have googled before signing up. My sister called me today, told me she has a lot of breakouts after her 1st package treatment. So I googled to see if there is any case and to my surprise found out so many complaints. Gosh. Should we continue? My foot is half way in, should I proceed further?

If only i read this post earlier, then maybe I wouldnt be the next victim. Last month, I signed up for their package which costs me RM4,000 for a 10 + free 3, collagen treatment. I paid by credit card with 24 months installment. I have a very sensitive skin. It becomes red easily when exposed to sun. I do have pimples occasionally especially during periods time but mine are not serious. My only concern is that I have a very large pores… The so called consultant was really very hard sell. She would say something like, “You are still so young, u wanna live like this forever?” And continue to persuade you to sign up for their package. Then she continue like… Since u r still young, ur skins can repair vr well. But the thing i hate the most is when she said… You sign up la, help yourself and also help me ma… (she probably talking bout her attractive commission) I was like… WTF, why should I help you at my own expense? At the end, I signed up…30% is because of their hard sell tactic, 70% is because I wanna make a difference, I wanna look pretty. Seriously, the package is really overpriced… But i was thinking if it works, then it is worth. But reading the comments here really make me lose confidence on them. I already went 2nd treatments. And she already starting to persuade me to buy their collagen drinks. Not that hard sell this time… but i believe she will try harder n harder next time. I’m not scared of them… If they r rude, I will be more rude.. I’m just praying that the treatments works, or else….. my money would just gone like that. Anyway, from what I read above… Some I have encountered and it is true. Even u have made appointment, sometimes, u will have to wait n wait n wait. They will clean ur face for less than 20 second then start putting mask n leave u there for 40 minutes.

The facial offered by New York Skin Solution is really bad. it is the worst salon i had never seen before. i went to the seremban branch to get my first free trial facial. After filling some forms, the beutician started to do some scanning on my skin. She said my skin is oily,dehydrated, sensitive and most of my pores are clogged. She was scared me by saying my skin is in a very critical condition and need to get a proper treatment immediately. Later, she brought me to a small room for the treatment. After a two hours facial session, that beautician did some scanning on my facial also and she did some comparision of the skin for the pre and post treatment. Then, the beautician was started to persue me to purchase the detox facial treatment. The price for the 20 times facial treatment was rm5600, 10 times facial treatment was rm2800. Wasai, it was too expansive. That why, i asked her to offer me another promotion package. That was a 3 times facial treatment which costs rm988.Then, i purchased that package. After two weeks, i went to have my facial treatment. During the facial treatment, i found out my beautician was using another type of gel as the smell is totally different. The peppermint smell is getting stronger and stronger and i got panic attack. The beautician quickly remove the double mask and replaced it by using a paper mask. The next day, i found out my facial was started to get inflammed and the pimples are reappered. This caused me have to spend another sum of money to get a consultation from a dermatologist. This is my bad experience in new york skin solution. i hope you guys will not go to any branches of nyss to get a free first trial because it will the begining of a nightmare. The consultation from a dermatologist will be the best choice.

Misleading sales talks, unethical business practices, cheating, this was what i had experienced in this outlet. Being invited by phone call for a free facial try out, 1st procedure, the consultant will scan the visitor face, then push selling and very persistent to ask you to sign up with them, they will tell you how bad is your skin condition which was their best skill instead of providing basic requirement as a beautician. For the whole process, i will say they just lie to you to come over to enter their premisses and get you into their trap. At last, they did not give me the free facial treatment as what being told on the phone before i step in. Their reason (upon check my records, they already gave me free facial already), I just wasting my 2 hour time there. I asked them to erase my guest records in their system and warned them not to call me again. I was their guest long time ago and was regret to wasting time and money there. There will be a long list if i want to write in details during my entire experience under their treatment.

I am a victim of NYSS too.
Even I have done 3 sessions of this facial treatment at NYSS, it did not gives any good result on my face. In fact, it turned out worst. I am still having oily pimples skin. The whiteheads & blackheads extraction leaves scars and red marks on my face, pimples and blemishes still growing after the treatment has done.
I still have another 2 facial sessions to go, they started promoting me to use “Purifying Ampoule” and “Soothing Ampoule” which cost RM360 per bottle. So LUCKY that they have 50% promotion price on that day so they keep pushing me to purchase it so that they can help me apply on my face immediately during my facial session.
For your information, that Ampoule thing is only a 3ml tiny bottle, one time usage per bottle.
After I done my facial I was told to wait in a small room which I believe it is a consultation room where they do selling and skin diagnose with their customer.
I been pushed by the Branch Manager there which is a young lady about my age (I am 24 y.o) to buy the whole set of Ampoule thing.
According to her, there’s no such thing as 50% discount on that Ampoule product,I got that 50% discount is because they used up their own vouchers to get me cheaper price for that thing.
The Ampoule is RM360 per bottle.
A full set of Ampoule = 20 bottles
RM360 * 20 = RM7200
FRIENDLY price = 50% discount = RM3600 for 20 bottles
NIAMA I shall say…
Tell her I do not have that much money to buy it and not interested at all with the product but she keep on convincing me to buy it with credit card so that I don’t have to pay immediately.
Her : Are you using any credit card? From what bank?
Me : Maybank.
Her : Oh Maybank.. that’s easy lar~ montly installment is only RM100 if you purchase it the full set 20 bottles. Isn’t that easy?!
Me : Umm.. but still very expensive ler.. give me more discount lar..
Her : Can’t do it.. it’s very cheap already.. every customer would buy it from me everytime they come to do facial.. it is the SECRET of all the beautiful faces.. what are you thinking? you should buy it..
Me : But I really need some time to think of it ler cos it’s not cheap for me. After discount still RM3K+ (you fuck..)
Her : OK. like that lar, I gave you extra 3 special facial treatments after you finish the remaining 2 sessions. Extra 3 special facial sessions! Will give you a whole set of facial products too which consists toner, cleanser and moisturizer.. for free! And if your skin condition getting better we will take you to do advertisement on our NYSS TV shows.. you know lar.. if I can give you this cheap price then you must help us do something one right?
(Holly crap lol)
Me: Really? but you see, my skin that terrible wor how to help you do advertisement..
Her: I mean your face contour.. your eyes your nose your lips is beautiful.. if you not pretty also I won’t ask you to help us advertise lar right?
(LOL… I’m pretty or not I know it myself, don’t need you to tell it.. moron~)
Me: LOL (fake smile) You gotta be kidding~ hahaha..
Her : I’m not joking. You are pretty what..
Me : (beh tahan) LOL I’m not interested to show up on any TV show lar just want to wash my face here nia and hope my skin get better… so how’s the payment again you was telling?
Her : RM3600. Monthly installment RM100..
Me : (I want to cabut actually) Oh i see..But hor… expensive leh RM3600..
Her : It’s worth it.. valid until today nia, other day if you want it you will not get this cheap price.. see what credit card you using? (intend to take my credit card)
Me : (took out my debit card) Nah.. this loh..
Her : (face expression changed) Huh.. this ah… you don’t have credit card?
Me : No wor.. was using debit card..
Her: Hmm… if like that no choice loh.. you gotta pay fully RM3600..
Me : (never plan to buy pun) Huh… kill me meh pay full immediately.. don’t have that much money wor.. next time la ok? or I will asked my friend (that girl) if I want to buy it k?
Her : Your friend can’t help you also because only me that can give you this low price.
Me : Huh.. =.=”
(continue pushing me that bitch)
Few minutes later..
Her : (a little upset) Or you buy 5 bottles first lo..
Me: Tak mau la.. if I really want it I will take your offer, the whole set. But very sorry I can’t afford it without a credit card.. I have financial restrain bla bla bla..
Her : It’s a waste if you do not take it today..(unhappy)
Me : (Whatever la) I need to think about it. Kla I gotta go.. ( I stand up and walk to the counter for a few signatures for my facial session) Give me your name card perhaps? I might want to contact you again.. (my lies)
She gave me her name card unwillingly, then I noticed that the name card do not have her contacts number at all..
Me : Eh? No number geh? Write your number on it la..
(Come on lah bitch how you do your business without your contact numbers~)
Then she wrote it..
Her : Just SMS me this number la if you changed your mind..(unhappy,terrible face she gave.)
Maybe she already knew that I will not call once I get my butt out here. Lol, at least she’s smart knowing this.
In the nutshell, my advice for everyone out there is NEVER EVER STEP YOUR FOOT INTO NYSS unless if you want your skin get worst and have whole lot of money to waste..
I think I should practice to say NO by now if next time I ever come across to a situation like this.

Unfortunately for the year 2014, i was at NYSS Mid Valley for facial & the consultant passed my credit card to the branch manager, Sharon who keyed in extra RM40. Instead of apologising, she & others were pressuring that i took on extra eye cream. To avoid unpleasant facial thereafter, i just took up the offer.

•Rude and aggressive.
•Offers free trial versions but later convince you to spend more.
•Scam.
•Cheating consumer’s money.

hi all,
i am also a victim of NYSS. Early this month, i upgraded a package after YET ANOTHER hardselling session where they lock you in a room till you surrender and sign up a package.
I went back to the outlet within the same day to request for a cancellation and refund. The branch manager refused and kept saying they need to seek their management. I’ve had a few phone calls with them these 2 weeks but each time they keep saying that some specialist will call me up but it has never happened. Now they say their specialist wanna meet me. I’m sure nothing will come out of that session and they will give the same old excuses. They just have no intention of refunding even though i havent even used a single session. Goodness!!!
Looking at all these posts, i think there’s even enough to do a newspaper report on them! This company has affected so many consumers in both Sg & Msia.
I’m super angry and had enough of their nonsense and time-wasting antics. I will be going to claims tribunal in the last week of Dec.
Does anyone have any guidance/similar experience on how to get refund back? I have not used any of the upgraded package. Would much appreciate any advice.
Thank you to everyone who shared their experience – we have a duty to let others know the tactics used by this company.

Thanks to every one to share their experiences here. You all have saved me.
I have just paid a RM28 facial treatment voucher (The Mines), which stated include Double Facial Renewal Mask, 1 Skin Booster Machine Treatment, 1 Eye Treatment, 1 Collagen Repairing Ampoule, 1 RM100 Facial Treatment Rebate Voucher, 2 sets of skin care products… When I back home and look at NYSS reviews, thank goodness, you all saved me.
I am now decided not to pick up their call to arrange an appointment. First, it is so frightened to face to this kind of push selling especially stepped into their store. Secondly, it is not worth to try if make my face worse… I am now sadly to choose to say goodbye to the RM28. I have bought a lesson (fortunately). Really thanks to iamrainbow and all the victims here to share your stories, THANK YOU ~~~~ You have saved me!
