Hi Hon, This is a regimen of shampoo and treatment you put on your scalp, try another hair salon, because they all do not carry it! I have found it in a number of salons, and if the hairdresser checks with her beauty supply houses she should be able to find it. My sister is using it now, she is getting shots for hepitis C and it is couses her to lose her hair some now! It does help!
