Scalp Aesthetics and Bryce Cleveland are the worst in the Scalp Micropigmentation Business.
I have a background in Scalp Micropigmentation and was getting a good amount of clients, however, I decided to take Scalp Aesthetics online training course and join this group to be able to get some more business. Also, they claim to be the "World Leaders" in Scalp Micropigmentation, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. However, leaving Bryce Cleveland, the CEO of Scalp Aesthetics, on your own terms is another story.
If you are thinking of taking Scalp Aesthetics training and joining their group, you may want to think twice. After finding that the training they offer is basic at best, they claim that you can take their online training and start working on clients immediately. What they do is tell all the clients that they send to you that you have a minimum of 2 years experience. They then make you purchase a kit for $500 per client, as well as take 30% of your money. After dealing with Damien Porter and Bryce Cleveland you start to find out that things are not as they appear. After some botched referrals from them, and shady dealings, I knew I had made a mistake and decided to leave them. I would have to tell Canadian clients that to pay in USD, which doesn't make sense. Then Scalp Aesthetics sends me my cheque in Canadian dollars, making money off of the exchange rate as well. After completing a client, they even bounced a cheque. I did not sign a contract with them which takes all your rights away, and is completely in their favour.
Once I decided to leave, that is when they show their true colors. Damien Porter and Bryce Cleveland of Scalp Aesthetics own scalpguru.com and searchscalp.com. These sites are intended to drive customers to their website and to their toll free number. These sites are also intended to get rid of the competition. My wife and I run a small, mom and pop shop in Toronto, Ontario and this is what Bryce Cleveland and Damien Porter have done:
Write FAKE negative reviews on my google page.
Write FAKE negative reviews on their own scalpsearch.com page
Write FAKE negative write ups on my business on scalpguru.com
Write FAKE adwords in Google to point to these fake write ups and review sites.
Here are the links to the fake write up on Scalp Esthetica by Bryce Cleveland and Damien Porter:
I attended this training and it was a waste of money. They just sat ne i a corner and told me to practice. Their little "training manual" is great for a five year old. About six pages with fake skins glued to some of the pages, with less than about 50 words of text on each page. What a farce.
I received horrible customer service and was threatened with legal action by Cory if I did not delete a negative Yelp review. I was supposed to receive three sessions to camouflage a scar. The first session did not go well and my "artist" was not confident after the session. My second session was cancelled even though I didn't request it to be officially cancelled. At this point I asked for a full refund of my $1,850 on 12/15. I was told I'll receive a call on Monday 12/18. I did not receive a call on 12/18 and texted Cory about the status of my refund and he replied with a text I still have stating "we can continue this conversation after you take down that yelp review you left I'm sitting next to my risk management and director of operations and they are making the phone to take legal actions about that if not taken down". Again, I have this text saved. I received no call on Monday and no call today (12/19).
I called the main line but they are no help. Cory also texted me "it will be sooner than later I don't control that department but you calling leaving notes saying no will call you I am ignoring isn't going to help the cause, please be patient". Help the cause? I'm just trying to get a refund and they are clearly delaying the process. I have both of these texts saved and in my opinion they are highly inappropriate and unprofessional.
Provided horrible customer service and follow-up, problems with transactions, appointments, threatening demanor at times in my opinion. Very rude staff who need some serious training in my opinion.
I too, have fell victim to the lies and deceit from Bryce Cleveland and Damien Porter. They will sell you the dream trying to get you to sign up. Once I signed a contract, the truth came out.
They lie about their experience, equipment being proprietary, and they send very few leads to any location other than a few offices.
What a nightmare dealing with these guys!!!! I've decided to just do my own thing!

Scalp Academy Training is the Worst
