Wig Retailer Scams | Wigs 101

[@AndrewMacLaine]

Other red flags: -the sample photos are pictures of celebrities, not wig models/headforms. -the sample photos are recognizeable pics from several different companies. -"easy returns" require a photo of you wearing the wig >> t&c states returns not accepted for wigs that have been worn. -the on-site reviews are ALL positive and sound like they are written by the same person. -Instead of a refund, they offer to sell you another wig at a discount.

Good info, really needed in 2019. Facebook is a problem with wig sellers. If you have shopped online you are probably receiving ads from sellers of fake wigs. Watch out people!

[@robbiedavis108]

after my cancer surgery I have been buying my wigs from Paul Wigs I have had the best luck with them,I am ready to try out your company and see if I like your wigs too,thanks for these helpful videos

[@violetsky2601]

So many ladies in Facebook groups are getting scammed, these are great tip! I love Roxie! Thanks!

[@SuperRocketdog1]

I bought a wig I'd seen the ad on face book! It took ages for it to arrive when it did I was so disappointed it was aweful, no invoice, and no advice on how to look afteryourwig. No return address so my hubby sent an e mail to ask for a returns label got reply asking why I wanted to return it . So sent my reasons why looked terrible on and poor quality. Got reply wanted photos of said wig. Next reply from them was to take it to a hairdressers . Company was Ur hair. Hope no one else gets scammed!😍🇬🇧

[@karenvogler4546]

Another tell is if the video showing the wig has no audio....just music. And many of the videos are of reviewers we know very well which means the video is pirated. I always call them out. They disappear shortly after or the comments are turned off.

I am new to the wig world in the last month. So many questions!! This was great info in general! The "padlock" and "S" were very eye opening, never realized that! I went online looking for a wig forum but didn't find one that seemed very active and/or current. It's such a difficult decision given "SIZE", "COLOR" "BRANDS" "EXPENSIVE RETURNS" etc. I am ok with the two I purchased (Ellen Wille & Noriko) but unlikely to wear them out in public. I was looking at a couple of Raquel Welch wigs but have seen a comment about them running small and another one about how they don't last long. Where's does one find this information at one place. Such an expensive proposition to learn from trial and error. Thank you for sharing this info!

[@openyoureyes4799]

I bought a Raquel Welch Editor's Pick in shaded Biscuit and it's the most beautiful wig I've ever worn! Straight out of the box it's beautiful!

Thanks for the tips. I've bought a few wigs on line. Probably with success because I received items, but I really wasn't sure what I was getting and have yet to wear them. Maybe it's time for a real tutorial and get something authentic from a reputable seller. 😎

[@Lucypetuniaggm]

I began looking for my first wig online. The first day (as a newbie) I learned terms like lace front, human hair, hand tied, etc. and knew those features usually came at a higher price than others…often significantly higher. As I continued my search the next day I began to find sites claiming to sell wigs with these features (and yes…one used pics of celebrities) at what I first thought were fabulous prices. I thought I’d struck wig gold. They were so cheap, so I made a list of several I considered buying. Suddenly I thought, “wait a minute…something doesn’t feel right.” I searched for info online about the seller’s reputation, & the first word that came up was “scam.” Now, whenever my search results include sites I’ve never heard of the first thing I do is check to see if they’re reputable. There are lots of sleazy people/businesses out there. Be careful!!

[@denisekinzle1672]

Luna is a scam.Ali Express & Rosegal are my fav.

[@openyoureyes4799]

Kami wigs.com are a big scam!!!!

[@openyoureyes4799]

The pictures online look like they were swiped from other online companies and the wig I thought I was ordering was a vanishing act. The real wig that they sent me was a cheap, non mono wig that looked nothing like what I ordered. They did that TWICE in the same order.. Terrible and you thinking you are getting this great price. Take my word for it, if you order a mono front lace wig for $25 you will get a no mono no lace front knockoff not worth the shipping!!!!

[@natalijamartina]

Among that, I can’t understand how can sintetic wigs from ‘reputable’ company cost more than lace front human hair wigs available online. For me that’s a scam to.

[@allykatt1849]

Perhaps it's because the lace front human hair wig websites you are referring to are not legitimate, trustworthy companies?

[@harleyhui5344]

Some synthetics actually have good quality but other than that Idk why they can be expensive... for me I like using brazilian hair

Good info... not sure what type of wigs people are expecting for under $50? Lol I managed to find a lovely curly bob wig at the beauty supply a couple of years ago and it’s still in good shape. That’s rare though bc I’ve bought $200 wigs that morphed into birds nests 😳 most recently I bought a half wig and u part wig from Luvme hair and to me the hair is beautiful.. I installed both wigs and leave them in like extensions and each wig was under $150... in the wig game though, you definitely get what you pay for

[@kristenelliott7098]

They sell crap and then will not give a refund saying you wore it or damaged it

Love the content of this video so much I visited your site to see if you might become my new wig retailer. Your homepage turned me off immediately because there are no women of color. I'm not just saying no black women. ZERO women of color. In 2020. #shameful #outoftouch #missedopportunity Do you have any idea how much money black women in particular spend on wigs every year? I'm an actress in Hollywood so I definitely do.

It happened to me 2x. The wig was garbage from China. But they pretending they are USA company. They use American wig websires immages of wigs. But when it arrived, it wasn't enen close to the posted puctures. Looked like Halloween wig, ended in trash can.

Hi Blair, unfortunately we are unsure of the legitimacy of that site. But, judging by the prices, and the use of our videos it's safe to assume that it is a scam site. We're so sorry!

Question: does anybody know if remy-wigs.com is legit? They don't mention lace front but from my experience you can't get the flat to your forehead natural look without lace front. I think you know what I mean. And, has anybody here ever bought from remy-wigs.com? Saw them on IG. I have made some fab purchases off IG but I'm afraid this place might be way off in China or somewhere and if I get a shit wig they will want me to pay through the nose to return it. Also they only accept Paypal. I don't mind artificial hair so much as long as it's a very well made one with lace front but I've only been able to get one that suits me. It came from China but they did a superb job. As much as I would love a human hair wig they are just really way out of my budget. The remy-wigs.com wigs are stunning and range from £25 and 50 or 60 depending. That's my budget. Any one having bought from them your advice would be invaluable.

Soz, that was remy-wig.com, not wigs. I'm on their site on my laptop right now and there is the padlock but no sign of or in url bar
