United Micro Systems strikes again ? United Micro Systems (UMS) is a hair replacement
company in New Jersey. They pioneered a method called Dermal Retention and advertised
heavily in upscale magazines such as GQ.
Well, it was about two years ago when HairSite reported the New Jersey Disctrict
Attorney's investigation of UMS. The New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs and the New
Jersey District Attorney Office charged UMS for repeatedly making false and misleading
claims about its "Dermal Retention" hair system on the internet and in
magazines. UMS claimed that the "Dermal Retention" is a permanent hair system
when in fact it is no difference from other hair replacement that involves gluing a
toupees to the clients' scalps. It was alleged that UMS charged victims from across
United States and Canada anywhere from US $2,000 to US $8,000 for the procedure.
That was the last time we heard about UMS. HairSite was not even
aware of the outcome of the lawsuit until recently when we received an unsolicited email
indicating that UMS lost US $300,000 in the lawsuit (note: not
verified by HairSite for accuracy).
We have received a number of emails lately complaining about UMS's
practice, one of which is from Shirley Limongi who claims to be from Fox5 News (again, HairSite has not verified the source):

My name is Shirley Limongi and I'm the Assistant Planning Editor at Fox5 News in New York
City. I'm interested in doing an investigative report on United Micro Systems. I first
heard about UMS's heinous procedures through Justin's (edited) letter he had sent our station a few weeks
ago. I was horrified and upset that such people and such kind of business exist. What's
worse is that they've just settled a lawsuit just last week, and it still doesn't put them
out of business. After reading a couple of testimonials through this website, I realized
something has to be done to put these guys out of business. So I'm writing to all of you
who visit this site or anyone you know (we are looking for local people, in other words
from New York or New Jersey) who may want to speak with us about their horrific experience
with UMS.
Thank you
