Shapiro MD is a hair treatment company that develops products to combat hair loss and baldness. The company's shampoo and conditioner are designed to combat dihydrotestosterone (DHT), blocking it and preventing the shrinking of hair follicles in the process.

Hair Loss Products and Treatments 

Shapiro MD's shampoo, conditioner, and foam are made out of three key potent, naturally occurring ingredients: saw palmetto berry extract (SPBE), epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and caffeine derivative. This triple action formula was created by leading dermatologists Steven D. Shapiro M.D. and Michael T. Borenstein M.D. Ph.D., who have over 40 years combined in the clinical dermatology industry. After recognizing that the expensive and marginal hair improvement products on the market weren't satisfying their patients, they decided to create their own hair treatment solution. Ten years of product research and five years of product development on topical DHT blockers led to the development of their Shapiro MD patented formula.

Hair Care Products

Shapiro MD features a selection of shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in foam products which can be bought together or individually. All three of these products use Shapiro MD's patented triple action formula and are made in the U.S.A. Both shampoo and conditioner are sulfate-free.

The shampoo should be mixed well and applied onto wet hair, then left for two to five minutes before rinsing. After applying the shampoo, do exactly the same with the conditioner to your scalp. Then, rinse it off after one to two minutes. To apply the leave-in foam, pump once or twice to your palm, rub your hands together, and evenly distribute the product throughout your hair and scalp in the morning or evening. The foam is designed to be used once per day.

Prescription Medicine

As part of its comprehensive approach, Shapiro MD also offers hair loss sufferers the option of using the prescription medicine finasteride, a generic medicine more commonly known by the brand name Propecia. Finasteride also works to prevent the body from converting testosterone into DHT. It is one of only two prescription medicines that are FDA-approved for the treatment of hair loss. Finasteride only addresses male-pattern baldness and is not prescribed or effective for women.

The Shapiro MD formula attacks one of the most common causes of hair loss: dihydrotestosterone production. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a byproduct of testosterone that thins and shrinks hair follicles, becoming inactive and even outright killing them. Although other factors also contribute to hair loss, DHT production is generally considered one of its most common causes. The Shapiro MD formula blocks DHT production which then leads to a fuller, thicker head of hair.

For inquiries on usage and other information about the company's products, customers can contact Shapiro MD via phone number 7 days a week; Monday through Friday from 9AM to 9PM EST, Saturdays and Sundays from 9AM to 3PM EST. Customers can also reach the company via email or live chat.

I’ve been searching and researching treatment to regrow my hair. I chose Shapiro. Unfortunately my graying hair got a bluish hue after using only a week. More than one of my friends noticed this. I like my gray hair and am having to use a clarifying shampoo to, hopefully, get rid of the blue. I was so hoping it would work.

Been searching and researching hair growth treatments. I chose Shapiro! I like the way it cleans and my hair feels good. Unfortunately it gave my graying hair a bluish hue. More than one of my friends noticed. I like my gray hair so I quit using it and am having to use a clarifying shampoo to get my own color back. I was so hoping it would be a good choice.

Only reason why they're not getting one star is that it was fairly easy to cancel the subscription via their website. I sent them a couple emails regarding my lack of progress/hair growth and received no response. I've had to report cards stolen to get out of subscription services that I couldn't cancel or contact the company, but that wasn't the case here. Been on this for ten months, no results. The best thing about this system is the leave-in foam volumizer stuff.

I don't like the product at all. But their business practices leave a lot to be desired...I'd call it "shady" at best. 1) I tried it to see if it worked, but it only made my hair feel stiff and brittle. 3) Even if you "un-check" the subscription box, they automatically add a subscription and you are just stuck. I've been trying to get a refund and return info for 2 weeks - they have blacklisted me because I filed a dispute with Paypal. In order to get off their blacklist- I had to close my complaint, email proof that I have closed it, wait another 7-10 days to get return information, then return the product and wait for them to refund my money.

I’m confused about how often I should wash my hair. Also the conditioner says to use it everyday and leave in 4-8 hours.

I purchased this product early last spring and I thought I was buying one set of products. The shampoo, the conditioner and the foam. It was really expensive, as instead of 1 set, I somehow recieved 6. Well, I used the products religiously and was hoping I would see hair growth, but I have not. The products are easy to use, make your hair feel wonderful, It even increases some volume, but it has not prevented my hair loss. I've been to my dermatolagist for my problem and I've been give precriptions for oral medications, recommended use of Rogain and told to continue the use of your hair products. No luck. My hair continues to fall out. So much so that I've bought a wig. I don't... Read More

This business is fraudulent. They do not honor their own gaurantees and they have repeatedly tried to to collect payment from my PayPal account without authorization. I am in the process of filing legal charges right now.

I ordered a one-time only one month supply and hated the shampoo and conditioner… my hair felt limp and unclean… it looked and felt as if I had forgotten to wash my hair… it was t worth my effort to try and return it… the most disturbing part though is that even though I ordered a one-time purchase (which is clearly stated on the receipt I received), Shapiro MD tried to charge me the next month for a subscription… UNBELIEVABLE… this company clearly has very shady business practices and 100% cannot be trusted.

I ordered this but have yet to receive it, in spite of "free" 2-day shipping. I've tried to reach out to customer support, but emails are never returned and phone calls are never answered, even after being on hold for more than 30 minutes at a time. It's also almost impossible to find the number to call or email to use to contact them. It seems they deliberately try this. When I log into my account, it doesn't recognize the email I used to order this. This means I can't track my order. I can't even find their address so I can file a complaint with the BBB. *** Avoid like the plague. This is a scam. ***

Have been using these products for 7 months; following all the instructions, and still no results; in fact, my hair loss has gotten worse.
