Abstract: Recent no-hair theorems have revealed the intriguing fact that horizonless stars with compact reflecting surfaces {it cannot} support non-linear matter configurations made of scalar, vector, and tensor fields. In the present paper we extend the regime of validity of these no-hair theorems by explicitly proving that spherically symmetric compact reflecting stars cannot support static configurations made of {it massive} scalar fields with {it non}-minimal coupling to gravity. Interestingly, our no-hair theorem is valid for {it generic} values of the dimensionless field-curvature coupling parameter xi.
