High profile beauties from Gwyneth Paltrow to Reese Witherspoon to just about every Fashion Week model credit their healthier hair to this secret weapon.



“When we recommend Viviscal PRO supplements,” says Ramon, “we will see thicker, fuller hair in as quickly as two months. Viviscal fits with our feeling that if you look good, you feel good and if you feel good you can conquer the world.” Hair: @ramontgarcia.

You know the look—cascades of long, lush, beach-waved hair billowing in slow motion. As you flick through your Insta feed you think, “Those have to be extensions!” And yes, some are, but a lot of that Insta-Girl hair is due to a secret weapon prescribed by the pros who do the It girls and models and celebs with the massive social media followings. High profile beauties from Gwyneth Paltrow to Reese Witherspoon to just about every Fashion Week model credit their healthier hair to Viviscal PRO supplements.
One of Viviscal PRO’s biggest fans is Ramon Garcia @ramontgarcia. He’s a member of the renowned Ramirez|Tran salon in Beverly Hills, where owners Johnny Ramirez and Anh Co Tran pioneered the “lived-in hair” phenomenon. Garcia is the only stylist chosen by Ramirez to cut and finish his color clients, and the pair, along with a “rock band” of assistants, is often on the road, meeting up with clients in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Paris, Moscow, Mexico City—wherever effortless, beautiful hair is in demand. “We never pitch our clients on this product or that. We have real conversations that come from a place of honesty. So when I say, ‘Hey, I have this amazing product that will add thickness, help your hair grow, make you feel better,’ they know I just want them to feel more beautiful,” says Garcia.
One of the reasons Garcia feels confident recommending Viviscal PRO is the fact that it’s backed by real science and recommended by top MDs like Drs. Alan Bauman and Doris Day. “It varies from person to person, but if a client takes Viviscal PRO twice a day, I’ll start seeing improvement in about two months,” says Garcia. “Even better, those exhausted new moms who have lost their confidence, or a menopausal woman who no longer feels attractive, will start to feel confident and sexy again and that’s what we love. I even gave it to my mom. It’s also a stronger formulation than what is available at drug stores like CVS and Walgreens, making it a point of difference for clients when prescribed by a trusted stylist.”
Garcia recalls one client—who he describes as a ‘bad-ass mom of two and leader of an all-woman motorcycle club.’ He says, “Before she had her kids, she had really thick, beachy, beautiful, California, magazine ad hair. Then she suffered from some post-partum depression and she lost a lot of thickness in her hair. I put her on Viviscal PRO and eight weeks later she walked into the salon, took off her helmet and we all stopped and stared. Her hair was amazing and best of all, she loved it. I had nothing to do with it—it was the Viviscal. It helps clients feel like themselves again.”
According to Garcia, Viviscal PRO supports hairstylists with endless amounts of information, like a new, comprehensive e-learning programthat delves into the science of thinning hair. After completing a 30-minute course, stylists get a displayable certificate that positions them as hair loss experts with their clients. Plus, stylists working with the product are embraced as part of the Viviscal PRO family. “I talk to my mom and my sister and brother multiple times a day,” says Garcia. “Family is important, and I would never want to work with a company that didn’t treat me like family. Viviscal is all love. If I have a question or something comes up, they’re always there for me.”
