I want to shout out from the rooftops how thrilled I am with the results of my hair treatments at De Oliveira Hair Care Systems. The single best thing about it is that they work! Until I was fifteen, in the 1960's, I had such thick hair that my regular appointments at Vincent & Tony Hairstylists always included "thinning" my hair. Not only that, but my hair was thick enough to routinely break plastic combs. In my mid-teens, my hair began thinning noticeably. This was most troubling for a young girl. While the loss was even, all over my scalp, and I did not actually have bald spots, I was concerned enough to start searching for both the reason and a reversal. At the very least, I would have been content if my hair had merely stopped thinning. My family doctor(s) could not come up with any satisfactory answers,
though consistently the advice was to change shampoos and/or wash
my hair less frequently. With the advent of blow-dryers, I found that
I was washing my hair every day to avoid the plastered - down look
that thin "bed - head" hair frequently creates. Over a long period of time, my hair thickened ever so slightly; but it was when I was only in my late twenties that I found the thinning of my hair so disturbing that I started making the rounds of dermatologists, the names of many of whom you would recognize. They all agreed that there was no cure. Some said it was hereditary androgenic alopecia. Medical tests for hormone problems or a thyroid condition were negative. When I was in my late thirties, my bathroom drain was constantly clogged with my hair. My family doctor prescribed Rogaine, which I tried for several months. There were several concerns, one of which was that its application meant that my hair always looked "greasy". Additionally, although it seemed to prevent further hair loss, there was no regrowth. Not only that, as soon as I stopped using Rogaine my serious hair loss immediately recommenced; permanent prevention of hair loss would have required a lifetime commitment to monthly expense, and daily application. The latter was worrisome because of possible side - effects. I also tried topical formulae suggested by my family doctor, and
by my massage therapist. Over the past few years, I have tried supplements,
homeopathic medicine, Chinese herbs, and acupuncture. Nothing helped. By that time, I was so self - conscious about my hair that I was miserable. I spent a lot of time thinking of ways to camouflage my problem. As much as possible, I avoided situations where people would have an opportunity to see the back of my head. My being a teacher meant that this was not always possible. By the spring of 1997, I was so self-conscious about my appearance that I constantly prayed for a miracle cure for hair loss. I was delighted to learn about "permanent" hair systems. I chose bonding. Initially, the results were satisfying, and I was quite happy with "my thick hair". There were problems, however: the hair matted badly; though this was said to be unusual, no offer to replace the expensive hairpiece was made. It was impossible for me to scrub my scalp between treatments. Once a month I had to go to the salon for a thorough washing of my hair and a protein treatment for my hairpiece. Within two weeks, the hairpiece would start to loosen and I would feel uncomfortable for the next two weeks until my salon appointment. For the rest of my life I would be tied to monthly treatments and bi - annual, costly hairpiece replacements I was too self - conscious to become involved in an intimate relationship. After ten months, I removed the hair system permanently. I had missed the feel of the sun and wind on my scalp.
The hair loss continued. By the fall of 1999, it was evident that there was absolutely no new growth. What hair I had was falling out. Just touching my hair caused it to fall. There was hair in the food I prepared, on the floors, on my pillow and bedclothes, in my books, on the table, EVERYWHERE. I started washing my hair less and less frequently. And I consumed with trying to figure how to get away without a wig or hat. By the beginning of December, 1999 I was washing my hair only every two weeks or so. Once more, I decided to try another dermatologist. I was sure that this one, a young man, would be up on the latest. He was apologetic when he assured me that there was no cure, and nothing to be done for me. Strangely, this time on hearing the news I did not burst into tears while still in the doctor's office. I stopped praying for help, and became resigned to the fact that it would be only a matter of time before the hair loss would be complete. I was beginning to take more seriously the idea of adopting the bald head as a fashion look. On my December 27, 1999 visit to my naturopath, Dr. Lucas Bozonovski, he told me about a patient whom he had not seen in several months. In the intervening time, with De Oliveira Hair Treatments, the hair on the previously bald patient had started to regrow. Lucas was so impressed that he had gone to speak to Mariana De Oliveira about her work. On December 28, 1999 I had my first De Oliveira treatment. My hair stopped falling out the same day. By the third treatment hair regrowth was obvious. With a combination of in- salon treatments and home treatments, my hair is coming back, healthy and strong. The casual observer is now unable to detect that I have hair loss. Where formely scalp was visible, I now have a cushion of hair. My hair regrowth is not yet complete, so I continue to faithfully do my treatments every day. Improvement is noticeable almost on a daily basis. The time and effort required to achieve optimum results have been worth it!!! I wanted my hair back so badly that I made following Mariana's instructions, and doing my treatments, my priority. Nothing has tempted me to miss them. The entire staff at De Oliveira has been so kind and supportive that it seems as if they take my progress personally. What impressed me on my first visit, only eight months ago - their knowledge, their professionalism, their caring, their patience, their teaching methodology, their clients, their testimonials, their optimism - continue to impress me. In July, I started wearing hats only as a part of my outfit, and as sun protection. I love the feeling of having hair, of having my very own real hair. It is hard to explain, but now I feel like a complete and real person. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to Mariana, Nella, and Sandra!!! Thankyou for giving me "swingy" hair, and restoring my confidence. All the thankyou's in the world seem insufficient. Your work is invaluable. Ruth H.
11/11/97 Dear Mariana It is with great pleasure and confidence that I take
this time to express my gratitude to you and your organization. Sincerely, LUIS F.
Dear Mariana:
After giving birth to two children, I had been losing a lot of hair for seven years and baldness was quite noticeable on me. As a believer in science, I followed all the necessary medical steps first, but to no avail. When my girlfriend, who had seen every hair specialist in Toronto and had sought the best in the field in California, recommended your product to me, I was quite skeptical. However, within two months of starting the treatment, the hair had stopped falling and new hair growth was visible at the naked eye. My colleagues who initially noticed the thinning of my hair, were also the first to comment on the remarkable change. As a result, they were also convinced of the positive results brought on by your formulas and have taken it home to their husbands who have since become your clients. I have a word of advice for those people who like
me may be as skeptical of your product. "If you have tried
everything and nothing has worked, what have you got to lose? If
you have not tried anything else, spare yourself the depression
and expense. Sincerely, Ana C.
August 29, 1996 In 1983 at the age of 20 my hair begun to recede and
it was obvious that a balding pattern was taking place. Worry and
frustration began and led to the need of a consultation with a hair
specialist Dr. Hunger. I discovered the cost of hair replacement
could cost from $35,000.00. Many, many thanks Mariana PETER H.
Dear Mariana, When I first realized that I was losing my hair, back in March of 1989 I went to see my Doctor to ask her what we could to do to put a stop to my hair turning white and falling out. The Doctor told me it was alopecia, it would grow back, many people have this problem. It DID NOT. After finding a bald spot the size of a grapefruit on the back of my head I became very upset at the continuing loss. I remembered that De Oliveira Systems had a course
of treatment for my problem and commence the treatment at once.
It took time for all my hair to grow back to a fine healthy look
again but I am happy to say the treatment did stop the hair lost
quickly. Yours sincerely, MARGARET B.
August 24, 1996 To: De Oliveira Hair Care Systems Inc. My name is Gerard; I am a designer/artist/musician
by trade. I am the official artist of the Skydome in Toronto and
was the official artist of Expo'86 in Vancouver. As a child, I remember I had thin hair and a little bit of a wide forehead. I think it was around the time that I enrolled at the Ontario College of Art for a 4 year advertising course, that I started to notice perhaps a bit too much hair on my comb and in the bathtub after taking a shower, but thinking that it was normal to lose this amount of hair I let the thought go by, that I might have a problem. I might add, that before enrolling at the Ontario
College of Art, I took a course at Ryerson in metallurgy, after
realizing that this was not, the course for me I started worrying
about my future, so I figured the worry was making me lose my hair.
Now that I think of it, I think it is very comical how we make assumptions
without knowing the real facts. From that day on, I have been looking for a cure on how to stop baldness. Since then I've traveled the world, every time I was in a country in whatever continent I tried to find out if they had a cure for the loss of hair. I went to France, Switzerland, the U.S.; I found nothing that came close to doing anything at all. In Toronto, I was part of a study for a product called "Hair Trigger" it was a joke. From France I tried another product to no avail, I tried something from the U.S. a kit that had many pretty colors, but that is all it was pretty colorful. By now, I was getting very desperate. One day coming out of the shower, I decided to take a mirror in my hand and look at the crown of my head. I was petrified to see a bald spot, I thought that it, it is the end of my social life, how could I play in a band and be bald. I had to rectify the problem. I started seriously looking for a real solution and I thought that I found it - "Hair Transplantation". To date I have had five hair transplants, three in
Toronto by 2 different doctors, one in Philadelphia and one in Detroit,
these transplants left me scared in the donor area and not having
enough hair in the donor area the transplants could not have be
finished, another words as I was continuing to go bald in areas
that were not transplanted, not having enough hair to donate I would
have been bald in that spot with all the plugs showing all around. After the 1st session I could not sleep for 6 months
because of the incredible pain, I asked myself why have I done this.
I guess by now I had come way past the point of no return. I was
still losing my "regular" hair and the "plugs"
were increasingly apparent. I was really upset at the fact that
not one of the Doctors told me about the fact that I might not have
enough donor area to cover my whole head. By the way, there is also, what they call a "scalp reduction" they cut the skin on top of your head and bring together the hair from the side, also painful, but eventually, because skin stretches it would stretch back to its original position so you would be back at square one. Now I was really worried, I didn't know where to turn now, I had done everything possible, my self esteem was slipping, I started to go out less, my social life was not the best. Then I met a person that told me about the "De
Oliveira Hair Care Systems", naturally I was very skeptical
about any product that actually grows hair, since I had tried everything.
I made an appointment with Mariana and when she saw my scalp she
almost fainted and asked me how I could let Doctors do this to me,
by now I was certainly asking myself the same question and also
the cost of transplantation is prohibitive to most people, I'm sure.
I started to use the product faithfully, but not right away as my
skepticism was still getting the better of me. Then I said to myself,
what do I have to lose, except more hair. I started to use the product
exactly according to Mariana's instructions (Mariana is the inventor
of this miracle product) and almost immediately, my hair loss was
cut to zero, and my hair started to grow very soon after. Yours Sincerely, GERARD P.

I was faced with a hair loss problem sometime ago.
After trying so many kinds of lotions and shampoos prescribed by
the specialists, nothing was working. Thank you very much

August 28, 1996 To De Oliveira Hair Care Systems I am a black Canadian who was a victim of hair loss.
However the De Oliveira Hair Care System gradually brought my full
natural head of hair back. DAVE H.
To whom it may concern:
Since that I started feeling depressed because the beautiful hair I once had was weakening, dry, brittle and without any shine. Today I can say thanks to De Oliveira Hair Care Systems I have recovered all my hair and once again, my hair feels and looks good.
To Mariana De Oliveira and her staff. I really appreciate what you are doing not only for
me but also for the rest of the other's clients in restoring their
hair loss.
To De Oliveira Hair Care Systems My premature hair loss was one of the torments that
made me lose the strength and will to live a social life. First, I started using shampoos like Bioscal, Neutrogena,
Politar, etc.; but never obtained satisfactory results. I could not go through this technique for two reasons;
one I was afraid of it because it could be a treacherous technique
and second it carries a big economic cost. One day I was watching TV and saw a commercial about
a product named "the six month supply". The commercial
was so fascinating that got my attention. I was desperate; I could not face the people. Sometimes I was aggressive with my co-workers because of my big and painful problem. To me my hair was the most important thing. When I
had my hair I had that pleasure of doing different styles it was
part of my daily routine. A co-worker asked me what happened to me to be so
depressed. At the beginning, I did not want to tell her but after
I was calm and had strength and courage to tell her my problem.
Personally, I had heard about this clinic on TV commercials
but never gave to much attention to that because I thought it was
just for special hair loss and to me did not have too much importance.
She checked my scalp and with a charming smile gave
me 100% positive results. TIAGO O.
To whom it may concern
By the time, I was nineteen; I was slowly but surely losing my hair. I always took care to wash my hair properly and often, not to use any gels or mousse and did my best to keep my hair clean. But I was still losing my hair at an alarming rate. As I became older, there were many theories presented before me to explain my hair loss. The primary theory seemed to be genetics. Baldness ran in my family and so it was passed on to me. Other theories included wearing hats and helmets, too much shampooing, too little shampooing, an oily scalp just to mention a few. I consigned myself to the fact that I was going to remain bald and continue to lose my hair and there was nothing I could do about it. But then I was introduced to De Oliveira Hair Care
Systems. They were confident that I would be able to get my hair
back. As the weeks went by, my baldness began to recede. I was growing hair all over my scalp. De Oliveira Hair Care Systems WORKS! It is safe, effective,
and easy to follow and gets results. Yours truly, Nick D.
April 28, 1998 As a singer/actor, I want to look my best so that
I can give my best. Most of "the arts" boils down to confidence.
When my hair started resting on my pillow instead of my head, my
confidence severally decreased. Terry B.
January 15, 2001 Dear Mariana: You are my savior! Your psoriasis skin products - the lotion and the cream - literally saved my face from serious scarring and increased my healing time by months. In October of 2000, I started feeling all achy and had a raging fever. Less than a week later, the whole right side of my face (from under my nose, all around my lips and under my cheek bone) broke out in fever blisters/cold sores. I went to the doctor and she gave me a mild antiviral and it seemed to work, but then I finished the medication the blisters got worse and I was in excruciating pain. I went back to the doctor in tears and it turned out to be Shingles. I was then given a heavy-duty antiviral - this worked but once the blisters started to fall off, I was left with glaring red scars and raw skin. I was also informed that it would probably take months before the sensitivity and pain in that area went away. This is when I had the pleasure of meeting Mariana and testing her skin products for my Shingles. The results were AMAZING! Within the first 24 hours, most of the redness and sores were already fading quickly. Within 48 hours, everything was completely healed. The other amazing thing that happened was the pain and sensitivity also disappeared. Whenever, I feel some pain I reapply the lotion and cream and within a few minutes the pain goes away. Mariana, I cannot thank you enough for helping me and all the other people whose life you have touched with your wonderful healing products. Forever indebted, Nancy M.

Initially I pursued conventional treatment through a Toronto dermatologist. The majority of creams and sprays prescribed by the Doctor were cortisone based. I experienced some temporary relief but found that over time the psoriasis came back. The effectiveness of the cortisone treatment wore off and I was forced to try other options. Disillusioned with conventional medicine, I decided to pursue alternative methods of treatment. Over a 5 year time span, I was treated by an acupuncturist, homeopath and two naturopaths. In the process of trying to find a cure I spent approx. $8000. Eventhough I am a supporter of natural healing, the naturopath's that treated me were unable to cure the psoriasis. Out of desperation, the naturopath who was currently treating me suggested that I contact Mariana De Oliveira who he was told has "the cure". Quite honestly, I was hesitant to follow-up with the referral since I had gone through so many years of disappointing results. I met Mariana in August/99 and began the treatment program for my scalp and body. I was surprised when I began to see results within two weeks but still remained skeptical as to whether or not this problem could be permanently resolved. As of Jan 3/00, I have been clear of psoriasis for over two months. I feel extremely fortunate that my naturopath connected
me with Mariana De Oliveira. I truly thought that I would have
to live with this skin disorder for the rest of my life. I would without question recommend the De Oliveira treatment to anyone who is searching for a successful treatment program for his or her psoriasis. Jane F.
February 18, 2000 Dear Mariana De Oliveira Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your study for your newly created skin care products. I have suffered with Psoriasis for over 20 years
using what was suggested, and yet after ten weeks of using the
De Oliveira products my arms and legs are free of psoriasis. Brenda W.
