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 find the ingredient in the shampoo called methyolclorolsothiazoline and methylisothiazolinone irritate and cause itching to those with lichen planopilaris. The company does not respond to questions, calls or messages. The color of the shampoo and conditioner oxidizes as well which makes me wonder howvstable are the products.

I purchase this because I was rather desperate because of my hair loss. I investigated other products but kept coming back because of the money back guarantee. After a few months, I notice my hair loss was getting worse instead of better. Needless to say, I panicked. So I contacted the company and they immediately responded offering me a deal on more shampoo. They explained that I had probably hadn’t used it long enough. Well I had bought 5 months supply because that was the most cost effective. So, if you are thinking of trying this don’t! They have not contacted me again and I am stuck with $285 worth of shampoo. I even asked them about a place I could mail it and still heard nothing.

Like many reviewers, I never authorized a subscription and have way too much product on hand and want to change how often I get it or cancel it. The verdict is still out on whether or not this is working for me after about 30-45 days In addition one of my foam bottles arrived damaged - as in the top had come off during transit and all the product leaked out! . I have called and emailed SEVERAL times with no response on both the damaged product and my subscription! This company is completely non responsive! Horrible horrible customer service!

I am trying to return my order that I cancelled within a few hours of ordering. I still receive the order. Since receiving, I have called 4 times, sent 4 emails, with PROMISES of response in 24 hours....nothing. I am beginning to believe this is a scam...

NOT ONLY IS SHAPRIO MD A SCAM, BUT THIS REVIEW WEBSITE IS PERPETUATING FALSEHOODS!!!! This website has 3 false claims that I can see - 1) This website states there are no chemical ingredients, this is false. 2) This website states that it is organic and natural. This product is not certified organic. 3) This website states that Shapiro MD has an "A: rating with the BBB, when in fact it does not have a rating from the BBB. I know this because i just filed a complaint about Shaprio MD through the BBB. My complaint with Shaprio MD is that, in July I placed an order for 6 months worth of product through Shapiro MD. One month later and I had not received my product, and was unable to access... Read More

Don't trust this company, I have ordered two items in April, but up to this moment (September) I haven't received any item. I tried to contact them, but there is no response for phone and email, I believe I paid my money to a scammer. So don't try to buy any product from this company.

I can't really say much about the product because I was not the one using it, but I CAN say that I had an experience very similar to several of yours--particularly Lila D.'s-- when we decided to cancel our subscription. It was so frustrating to submit messages on the support site with no response. I finally got the lame response that I needed to call even though, by this time, I'd called repeatedly and never gotten through or gotten a call back. I started calling every night , willing to wait as long as it took for someone to answer, when I encountered a new strategy. After 10 or 15 min, you are forced to use the call-back method--even though you know the call back won't come.... Read More

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I purchased this product in June. I've not only not received the product, but I've never received any response back from my e-mail and this whole "we'll call you back" phone thing is a joke. I've sent more than one e-mail. I finally got an automated response that said "Did you get your product? If not, wait 48 hours and call us." WHAT? That is LITERALLY the worst. You should know if you sent product - CRM systems aren't hard to connect to email marketing solutions and then you tell me to WAIT? I've been waiting and there was never ANY mention of delays on your website (OR any mention of COVID slowing things down, so I'm not buying that... Read More

Terrible customer service. I have yet to speak to someone at customer service that can help me cancel the apparent subscription that I did. I did a one-time buy and they sent me another order. And still have yet to talk to anybody, but their email to me said I needed to call them to cancel. The shampoo and conditioner itself--notice that hair loss is less, but have not seen a different in thickening hair..
