Trust files, side by side
| Signal | Keeps | Happy Head |
|---|---|---|
| Trustpilot | 3.6/5 (273) this provider | 4.5/5 (1,821) this provider |
| Terms & cancellation | Billed and shipped quarterly with a $5 per-shipment charge; $5 annual consult from year two. Prices are quiz-gated before you can see them. | True monthly billing with the consult included — the only hair provider we track that bills on the month it advertises. |
| Flags on file | 4 Lowest Trustpilot score in this vertical, with a polarised distribution — roughly half five-star against roughly a third one-star. | 1 Trustpilot's summary notes aggressive follow-up calling and unexpected subscription changes among complaints. |
Both Trustpilot scores are specific to these providers rather than to a wider company, so they are directly comparable — though sample sizes differ, and a score from a few dozen reviews is a weaker claim than one from a few thousand.
The honest answer
Both are subscriptions that bundle a prescriber with a generic medicine. If you already have a prescription, neither is the cheapest route to the same molecule — that is on the cost page, where the pharmacy options sit well below every subscription here. What the subscription buys is the consult, the auto-refill and not having to think about it. That is a real service worth real money; it is simply not the medicine that costs what you are paying.
