mostly because they sell products that are supposed to promote hair growth, yet they have someone who wears and sells wigs as their spokesmodel. i consider that an insult to our intelligence. if you're gonna sell products for hair, at least use someone who has had success with them.
if you look at the pic on their homepage, her hair doesn't even look healthy, let alone good. see how her edges are all fried looking while the other part looks silky. it's like she didn't even have her hair professionally done for that photo.
it just bugs me... /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

okay, here is their response:
"Thank you for your comments. We originally had Wanakee as our spokesperson. She left to persue a new career and sold the company to our manufacturer. We went through our customer list to find a new spokesperson. We had many
celebrities, and we were looking for someone that had name recognition in the beauty supply stores, since we feel that we can get more sales if we make our products available in more locations.
When we contacted many stores they liked Beverly Johnson's name the best since they had her other products and liked her image. We knew that some people would resent the fact that Beverly sells wigs, but the positives outweighed the negatives.
When Wanakee was our spokesperson we received many e-mails stating that they felt that Wanakee wore a weave. We also got many complaints asking who Wanakee was and why we did not have a more famous celebrity.
We have had our products on the market for over 10 years and most of the comments found state that our products are excellent. We hope you will give them a try and see for yourself why we feel they are the best products available today.
We look forward to adding your name to our growing list of satisfied customers.
Customer Care"

Not only what you mentioned but the fact that she didn't put the company or the products on the map. Wanakee started that company and I don't care whose name they put on the products, IT'S ALWAYS AND WILL EVER REMAIN WANAKEE in my mind. Wankakee's hair was what made me purchase the products NOT Beverly Johnson's.

So does that mean the story Wanakee told about making the oil in her kitchen and hand painting each label was bogus? They make it seem like she was just the name on the package, nothing more than a marketing ploy like the Quaker Oats guy. HMPH! I bet it isn't even made by Quakers!!!!! For shame!!

Re: New Pics up on the Bev Johnson (wanakee) site.
That is what I wanted to know. I wondered if Wanakee was just a spokesperson and nothing more or if at least the background story was true. I would have opted to just call the products Hair Oil and not have a spokesperson because like Adrienne, Beverly Johnson completely turned me off. Wanakee was behind her products 100%. There used to be a time when she would personally answer the phones. I truly believe that Beverly Johnson is simply the name on the package and that they basically cut her a check after the photo shoot for that website was complete. Does she even say she uses the products?

I sent them an e-mail, too! LOL This was the response I got:
</font><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr />
Thank you for your inquiry. Wanakee left New York about three years ago to
peruse another career. A short time later she sold the ocmpany to the
manufacturer, one of her business partners. He owned the formulas and
continued to manufacturer the same products with the same ingredients using
the same formuals.
Our customers asked that we get our products into stores. After going
through our celebrity customer list we decided that Beverly Johnson has the
best name and name brand recognition and we are now working with Beverly
Johnson.
It is our goal to get our products into stores by the end of this year. We
will then try to add many more products to the line, but we will continue to
sell Verifen Complex products.

Celebrity customer list? How long has she used the products? She's been wearing wigs for quite a while... /images/graemlins/mad.gif
I never ordered the products because they were way out of my price range. But I would visit the site often because the photos were so inspirational. It burns me up to see the same stories about the grandmother and the haircut, the hair mistakes, etc. being applied to BJ.
I can't imagine a first time customer ordering hair growth products being endorsed by a woman in a wig...

Someone on the old board posted a link to the REALWanakee site. I ain't got no love for Beverly Johnson and her wigs and weaves...
Don't order from this site, though.

Are the hair oil products any good? The testimonials sound convincing but I would rather hear about your personal experiences with the product line. I can see why people become PJs (Product Junkies) because there are so many products out there.
I really like some of the products.
The Deep Conditioner is really good. I use that once a month. I use the Hairline Essential Creme for slicking up my puffs and the Constant Care for Ends for the ends.
I don't know too many people (online or offline) that has used this product line though.

Hey Everybody /images/graemlins/smile.gif /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Wanakee's products are pricey but very good.
I used her line faithfully when I relaxed and I grew my hair to an inch or two shy of waist length. I must say that her line did more for my relaxed hair than any other ones that I tried and I am the consummate PJ /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/blush.gif
Her deep conditioner and constant care for the ends were my two favorites.

The good news about the Wanakee's (sorry, It will always be Wanakee's line to me) products is that they are extremely concentrated. That deep conditoner is super thick, almost like Crisco.
If cash is short, I wouldn't get her shampoo. You can get by with cream of nature. The Wanakee deep penetrating conditioner, leave in spray conditioner and constant care for the ends were my staples. They were so good that I was a recovered PJ for about 6 years!!!
