On September 7th 2024, I was accosted by one of their sales people, who dragged me in to their store and pressured me into paying $218.50 worth of skincare products, and then once my purchase was complete, I was pressured (again!) into paying $115 for a multi-purpose ceramic brush that fails to accomplish its purpose. I regretted the purchase only once I arrived home, but was not informed of their no-refund policy until I consulted their website (powered by *******, which is somewhat eyebrow raising for a supposed luxury company). Additionally, a different company called Royale seems to sell an identical ceramic brush. This, in combination with the lack of any concrete third-party information about the company, their products, or their founder (****** ******), makes their business seem like a scam. I would like my products refunded, and would be happy to return them (along with their packaging) to the location I purchased them from. I would also advise them to check the spelling and grammar on their website.Initial Complaint

This company lied to me to sell me 2 devices totaling about $8000. They repeatedly told me it gives permanent results for skin rejuvenation getting rid of lines and wrinkles. The machine gives that effect when they demo it in the store but the effects go away after few minutes once you leave the store and go home with your purchase. They offer no refund only exchange but what can they possibly exchange $8000 purchase for? Also their skin care products caused me allergic reactions and almost burned my skin so I cant even get products worth on my money and they refused to give me a refund. I tried to dispute the charges with my bank and told them everything that happened but they denied my dispute. This company is a scam and no protection for consumers had been offered to me so far. I want my money back and they can have their devices and products back.Initial Complaint

My 16 year old son was approached and pressured into purchasing $212 worth of products. He was told by the sales *** to go to the *** and get cash to purchase the items. When he told me, I was in another store. We immediately went back within 30 mins ( he purchased it at 6:12pm and I was back over at that store by 6:40pm.) The sales lady told me that the manager left for the day( I feel they were lying) However, I asked for a refund because my son did not want the products and felt pressured to purchase their products. I was told by the sales ***resentative that they do not offer refunds and I could send an email to head quarters requesting a refund. I immediately sent an email from in the mall. I feel this is just to give customers the run around and they have no intentions of refunding my son his money. This company targets kids who are alone and seem shy. In addition we went back in 30 minutes to which they claim they could not refund the money. Their business practices are deceptive and predatory to teens.Business Response

RE: PREDIRE PARIS store. On July 30, 2024 I was shopping with my husband in the *********************. I was pulled into the store to try a sample beauty product. First it was applied to my eye area, and I did purchase the product At a discounted rate of $213.26. My husband was given an electronic pad to sign for the charge, which he signed. At no time were we told that there is a no return policy and there was no posted sign indicating it. Then I was asked to try their red light ************ Earth and led to a different area. The man there did apply several serums to my face, and used a wand to rub it in. I agreed to purchase the treatment for $3,305.53. Again, my husband was brought the electronic pad to sign, which he did. At no time were we told about their no return policy. When we returned home, I decided to return the items. My husband returned to the store the following day to return all the sealed items. He was then told they do not accept returns, and he could only exchange the items within 14 days. At that point, my husband did notice a no return policy sign, which was posted at the cash register. BUT, since he was brought over the pad to sign, we never saw this sign. We feel this was purposeful, which is why they brought him the pad and never led him to the cash register. At this point, my husband insisted on a refund, and was told they would contact their boss to see what could be done. Supposedly they were told nothing could be done, and that was the companies final decision. I decided to look up complaints on the BBB website and was able to see the responses from the parent company. They state that each franchise is independently owned, and that it is solely the individual franchise that determines their refund policy. I printed these responses out, and again returned to the store to insist on a refund. It was denied again. This franchise deliberately did not allow us to see the no refund sign, and I believe it was totally deceptive.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. We appreciate your contact and would like to provide you with some important information.
Our company, *****************************, is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of our products to retailers, clients, and vendors. However, each retail store operates as an independent entity with the exclusive right to establish and manage their own sales terms, refund policies, and customer service procedures.
As a result, any issues or concerns related to a specific transaction need to be addressed directly with the retail store where the purchase was made. We do not have jurisdiction over these independently owned stores and do not govern their operations.
We understand that this situation can be frustrating, but it is a standard practice in the wholesale and retail industry. This system allows retailers to maintain control over their customer relationships and offer personalized assistance.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding of this matter. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I am rejecting this response because:
We did return to the store again. They continue to lie about the return policy, stating that the owner of the franchise stated he would not accept this return. Since they continue to refuse our return, I have contacted our credit card company and requested that they not be paid for this purchase. Now we have products that we cant use, and they will not be paid. We do not want to do this, but they are forcing our hand. I did hope that the owner would be reasonable and accept these unopened purchases.Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:
The store is insisting that they have to ask the distributor for permission to issue a refund. So, I do not accept the distributors response. As a distributor, you can recommend that they do refund our money, because it is your products and francises that will receive a negative rating on all the website that accept ratings.

My daughter went to the store (06-18-24) and was forced to buy beauty products from the Store Manager (*****). The following day we came back to the store and asked for a refund. His excuse was that he gave a 50% discount so he couldnt do anything. He stated that per policy it was not allowed and only exchanges for other products. I asked to speak to someone higher up but he refused to do so or even try to call someone.Business Response

After careful review of your complaint, it seems there is a misunderstanding regarding our role as a wholesaler and the extent of our responsibility for retailer actions. As a wholesale supplier, our primary focus is on providing quality products and services to retailers. However, we understand the importance of addressing any issues that arise in the supply chain.
It's essential to clarify that retailers, as independent entities, have their own business practices, policies, and customer service standards. While we do our best to support our retail partners and provide guidance, we are not directly responsible for their day-to-day operations, customer interactions, or business decisions.We understand that this process may seem indirect, but it is the standard practice in the wholesale and retail industry. It allows retailers to maintain control over their customer relationships and ensures that they can provide tailored assistance to their customers.

On 4/25/2024 my neighbor who is 97 years old was taken advantage of by a sales representative from this company just to make their sale. She is a 97 year old lady who cannot hear and due to her age cannot make the best decisions. The representative basically fooled her to step into the Stand and she thought was paying 4.30but it turned out that it was 4.30. It is very sad that this kind of company is heartless and refused to issue a refund when she went back to get her refund all package sealed and nothing opened.Initial Complaint

On January 23 I was offered a free sample of product. I liked how it worked, but it was an extremely high price. The sale was pressured and price was reduced. I bought the product and was told there were no returns. 15 minutes after leaving the store I felt I was too pressured and attempted to return the item. I did not leave the mall. I was told the item could not be returned. I could not get a managers name. The item was not touched or opened. It was exactly as I received it. It was a baiting situation.Initial Complaint
