As a licensed cosmetologist I can tell you for a FACT I have looked through about a dozen different monat hair and beauty products. And to start off their ingredients range from kinda dangerous (hair loss can be very likely and scalp irritation and etc) to just not healthy for skin/hair (blocking pores, ingredients that coat the hair that lead to build up, etc). Not to mention i didn't find one thing that justified the "luxury" tag they put on themselves. In fact as a stylist I'd prefer you'd use drug store shampoo or skin care, over monat.

If someone wants to sell monat who cares. You don’t need to buy it nor use it. I don’t understand why people hate MLMs they know from the get go whats expected to be successful and not everyone is going to be successful. We are all adults and made those decisions on our own.

​@ms.annthropic6341 We actually pay the exact same price you do, it's just looks like less.

I appreciate this video so much! I just witnessed a Monat “boss babe” use her platform to confront the lawsuits red flag - she said “I dare you to google any brand you have in your home - cleaning brand, hair care, skin care, any brand - you will find lawsuits. Because that’s what happens when you’re successful.” Which was absolutely hilarious to me... so out of curiosity I googled my favorite hair care (Kevin Murphy) and what do you know.... NO LAWSUITS.

I recently joined, then backed out because my “mentor” was making me lie to people. I haven’t even received the pack of products yet, and she told me to copy and paste a text that said “I’ve been using new products, and I think you’d love them.” The “mentor” was WELL AWARE that I hadn’t started using the products yet, and still told me to follow the “guide” to reach out to people. I felt like a fraud after. My mom also told me about the lawsuit, which I was completely unaware about until after joining. I’m now anti-MLM 😝

Monat literally made my hair fall out. I bought it to support a casual friend. I was told my scalp was "detoxing". Which was a huge red flag because I was using either Pureology or Aveda products on my hair for years (I would switch back and forth depending where I could get a better deal) before giving it a go. Interestingly, when I stopped using her products, this friend, who was a hairstylist, suddenly didn't feel a need to reach out...🙄. To be fair, Monat is not the only shampoo that has caused hairloss for me. I've also had similar issues with very cheap grocery store shampoos in the past.

If anyone has to watch past the point of “94.03% didn’t make it past the ground level rank...” which is a mere $183/year then there’s literally nothing that will convince them that Monat isn’t a good idea.

it is sad that a company like this hasnt been boycotted in 2021, my blood boils every time I see someone I follow on Instagram getting involved or "becoming a business owner". This MLM is the worst of all of them because so many young women who have yet to build a legitimate career for themselves are targeted by this false reality of "financial freedom" and set up for failure and potential long-term debt. :(

A girl I know joined Monat she's so strapped for cash and I understand why she would want to do this but I'm very anti-mlm and I cannot believe how they targeted her when she's in such a vulnerable state. I don't want to say anything because I don't know her like that but it's just sad how she thinks joining Monat will actually help her

I stopped going to a hair dressed that I had gone to for 10 years. She started selling this crap. My entire time in her chair was a monate pitched. She even had her husband try to talk to me about “joining”.

I just watched MLM Top Fails #72 & I just needed me some more Hannah after last week’s break. This was an excellent video, lots of great info told expressively yet educationally, as only Hannah can do!

Any time there was a sale she sent me voice messages saying “I want you to love your hair. I want it to grow long and shiny” well, guess what: I love my hair. And the reason why it’s not long anymore is because I got tired of long. She was a really nice girl and I’m a people pleaser so I had a hard time saying no, and kept coming up with excuses, until one day I finally said “look, I’m sorry it’s not gonna happen” and out of nowhere she was not nice anymore and it bothers me so much when people put on an act.

I'm Canadian and watch your videos from a city just outside of Toronto, cause livin' in the big city is way to expensive! The prices of the Monet products here are JAW DROPPING. I use good quality shampoo and pay about $8.00 for a 350mL bottle. 250mLs equals 8oz for you guys down south. The ingredients are clearly listed and after some quick investigation are all safe and have been approved by Health and Agriculture Canada🇨🇦. I'm an older gal, 58, and have seen my share of friends go down with the ship with MLMs. Breaks my heart. A few have spent thousands and ended up deeply in debt. Keep doing what you do.

Also the percentages of success aren’t job pay it is running a business and not everyone wants to run a business they just want a larger discount and some don’t want to run a million dollar business bcz you have to work on a million dollar mindset for that! It’s a business but one very real way to get out of the 9-5 rut. The author of this video says she just asked one person in the company.

Lately I have learned to take better care of my curly girl hair and then found a company named Lucky Heart. I found them on a visit to Memphis TN and they looked at my hair and encouraged less products not more. This one on one family sort of experience with people who have been doing this for generations gets you a good hair product. MLMs do not care about any of this.

my friend just joined and tried to recruit me. It’s so strange because his personality has changed completely and it is kinda eerie now. He tried to sell me a dream. They pay for a car and vacations. You don’t have to work for a boss. Make your money just in your phone. All that good stuff people wanna hear. But he never talked about the product. I don’t wanna work for a company that I have no clue what the product is. And yes you’re working for a company, this is not your business. I turned it down and he kept asking “why” “you don’t know until you try” “so much negativity coming from you”. I feel like MLM’s prey on people’s lack of confidence and manipulates. But hey, just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️

They’re trained to “prey” and “manipulate” by their uplines so the big guys at the top can get rich.

I don’t think I’d the company I think sometimes is the MP leaders that push you and do anything to get a good bonus but you don’t have to be a MP

They have training in the back office about the products and stuff but the majority of the time, product training came from the upline. Especially if the product doesn’t work for a customer and the upline tells you what else to recommend them. I used to do Monat unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️

I would love to see a deep dive on Mary Kay. Specifically about the pink Cadillac. I was told by a rep that she just drives into a dealership, picks her car and drives off and don't have to pay. Hmmm

I think you are probably right on the money in guessing that a lot of MLM people don't use their products long enough/for three months to see if it helps them. I joined plexus to get a discount on the product and never got the starter pack because I really just wanted to see if the product would help with my some of my health conditions. After 2 months nothing had changed and at the 3 month mark I started to get sick every time I drank the pink drink or the workout drinks. I stopped ordering and cancelled everything and after being super friendly and helpful for so long, my "sponsor" or as you call it upline, just disappeared.

Me, a Canadian watching this, happy I can finally follow along with prices: 😄

I needed to hear this! Thank you! So much valuable information, you’re the best!

I don’t understand how they get the cars. There are 3 factors that go into car buying. 1. Income 2. Credit Score 3. Loan to Value (LTV) 1.Judging by the stats that you pulled a person selling this on their own is not going to bring the income to get approved on this vehicle in the first place so their SO basically needs to be on this car note as well. 2.Probably bad for me to say, but I would think that if you are selling this, you may not have the best finance record, which could mean that your credit isn’t in the 700s, so you’re getting a higher interest rate. Higher rate, higher payment. 3.Cadillacs are expensive, now any given time you can get 10k off a new one but still. They aren’t worth what they are sold for and tank in value. So LTV is usually above 100% which gives you a higher rate. $1500 does not cover sales tax on a purchase that big unless you’ve traded in a vehicle with it. Just seems like you have to go into this with your spouse, and that financial strain when things aren’t going perfect, could be a huge negative on the relationship. Just drive your own car.

@@HannahAlonzo I just feel like the people flashing their cars, probably have a SO that’s doing well income wise. But their pictures are of course making it seem like it’s all their own sales. Seems very dishonest to get more people to buy in. But who knows I could be wrong. But judging by those stats again, I don’t think i am

I can't find it, but Chelsea did a reaction video to, I believe a Monat rep, posting an IG story with her family at the dealer... Ostensibly to pick up her "fully paid for Cadillac", only to NOT get approved for a loan! Rather than delete the story or not post any follow up, she tried to save face and spin it like this was on purpose, and she was ok with it?? 😂 Bizarre.

I'm speechless about the Monat berry scrub being straight up canola oil....

Hello everyone, good evening! I liked so much this video! Very interesting for its content. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽👍💖

Great Video!

I wish I could send this to my best friend who joined Monat and won’t stop trying to recruit me 😓 I don’t have the heart to tell her it’s a scam.

Sorry if this comes across as apathetic - im autistic - but why cant you just send it to her?if she reacts super horribly and mean then not very good friend anyway. Should be able to tolerate criticism and debate, and this antimlm KZreadr is definitely the kindest most tactful I've seen

"Any color, as long as it's white" applies to both the Monat Motor Club and the demographic of most MLMs

Hi there I’m new here, love your channel. I am selling on Poshmark so I put all your poshmark videos in my favorites. Anyhow, about the Monat skin care there is a biochemist or chemist loll not sure called Kenna on KZread and she talks in details about the ingredients and most of them are either mediocre or ok and way too pricey.

I’m Canadian so your mess up was very helpful to me haha

I’m 47 years old and let’s just say I’ve seen some shit in my life. However, I’ve never seen any shit like this. Story time: A good friend of mine is a Monat partner, whatever the fuck that means, excuse my French. I asked about a shampoo I saw her and a bunch of other friends using. I said I wanted to buy it. She gave me this whole cockamamie speech talking about “if you but this, you get this,” and so on and so forth. Before I knew it, my fiancé was like “Babe, did you order $160 worth of product?” Now, I’m not saying it’s her fault. I never asked how much everything was. I knew I was ordering a few things. I never dreamed it would be 160 bucks though. In my defense, I ordered a shampoo, a conditioner, and a detangler. That hardly seems worthy of 150+ dollars but whatever. I’ll never order again though. The first real inclination I had about all these MLMs being bullshit was after reading some of my friends posts. These people can’t even put a whole sentence together and now they’re sharing personal stories about these products complete with correct grammar? 😂😂 I’m glad my friend got the money but I’ll never order again. I’m just glad my hair hasn’t fallen out.

Ditch these lame “friends” for people who aren’t gullible & greedy.

I’m from Canada so thanks!

One thing I learned. If you want a new Caddy get a real job and put your money in the bank!!!

It's so scummy that they tell you the car is free but it's really not

They're going to end up with a liability lawsuit when someone assumes their use of Monat will turn them into the human torch and make them fireproof, and that's going to be an issue.

The prices are still outrageous. 😳

Your anti-mlm videos are clear and well-researched. Just wondering why you stopped making them. They are so good!

Look at her now, she didn’t disappoint!

In addition to what you are personally responsible for if you are in the Cadillac motor club is the personal property tax that you will have to pay that comes with a car of that caliber.

"Naturally based" is literally meaningless in this context. Even the most synthetic and toxic chemicals started life as naturally occurring substances. Not to mention 100% naturally occurring highly toxic substances.

Glad I came across this video even a year later. Years ago my hairdresser started selling Monat, and was raving about it. It was the best product she had ever come across etc.. I used it for about a year. By the end of that year I had noticeable bald patches all over my scalp. I was completely stressed out and would cry when doing me hair because I thought I was going bald. One day my hairdresser looked through my scalp and said “ omg you have little bald spots everywhere, you should stop using this product.” I had never heard that Monat caused hair loss and just thought it was because I was getting older or unlucky. ( I was in my early 30’s) I stopped using Monat and within a few months my bald spots were gone. But sadly my hairdresser is still selling this shit. In fact she just got her Escalade a few months ago. It bums me out because she knows that this can cause hair loss, as she was the one recommending me to stop using it, but because she has devoted so much energy and time to her “team” as well as curtailing her actual hairstyling business to devote time to selling Monat, that she sadly probably can’t walk away anytime soon.

You know, whenever I feel that old nagging guilt about having taken out student loans without fully knowing what I was getting myself into, I’ll just remember at least I’m not depending on an MLM for my car payments, and I’ll feel better.
