Very good.
October 16, 2019

Everything about this wig is nice. The hair I light and realistic. All those lace fronts are good. But it does not have a color that I like right now. But it is now a little too dark for me. Hoping they come out with a light version soon.

The first time I put it on I got about 30 complements. A hair dresser loved it and asked me who did my hair. I told her it was a wig. Lol. I showed her the site she will and will tell people about you color streaks. Maybe sell more wigs. I would have give a 5 star but the top is weird little hairs sticking out everywhere and a little dark but oh well.

WONDERFUL!
February 8, 2017

I am doing my happy dance. Thank you HoWigs! My previous tries at wigs locally were a disaster - too big, too much hair and I looked ridiculous. My hair is thinning at a fast rate due to medication so I had to do something. The style is exactly how I once wore my real hair, so it all works. I was able to take it out of the box and immediately style it with my fingers - away from my small forehead - just like the pictures showed. So once again, thank you, for thinking of customers that fit my category of needs. I am going to order more!

Super fun
September 29, 2019

I love this wig, though for the price, I was expecting a less costume-y texture and higher quality. I have nothing but positive comments about the look. Just wish the texture made it wearable all day long, instead of just for a few hours going out at night.

After ordering using a full exchange from a prior order that wasn't right for me, I realized a different shade would be better. Not only did customer service change the order in time, it came with free brush and hair cap. The new color is just what had been recommended and I am getting compliments and respect.

I received the wig yesterday. Firstly, I was expecting a parcel from the UK. This looks as if it came from US as the contents value = 14.00 USD. £67 was paid for a cheap and nasty item. If you saw this in a costume shop for £5 you'd pass as it is so poorly made. The hair (if you can call it that?) is attached in rows some so badly that it's all in a clump that would be at the top of your head. I thought I was ordering a layered 8" wavy blonde bob style with dark roots. Ain't what I got! I don't think a clown would wear this. I've just opened a Paypal case so will escalate as soon as possible. Just wish I had read these reviews first and I would NOT of ordered.

Update: I escalated with PayPal. Howigs have not yet responded via open case but have emailed through a gmail.com account. Basically asking for more money. I need to pay for a new wig and they will give me 3 free gifts. Obviously, I will not be responding. Hopefully PayPal do the right thing and issue a full refund.

Scam Scam SCAM
December 28, 2021

I ordered the buy 2 get 1 free. I had to pay for all 3. But I like what I saw so I said that's OK. It took over a month to get in-stock items. I got 1 wig and 2 packs of crochet hair. And they were nothing like web site. I had to get PayPal to get them to respond to my email to get an return address because they would not respond to me and the addres on the website was not deliverable. I sent back all they asked for in May 2021 afterpaying a large shippingfee. 12/28/21 I received my package back with no explanation. Please save your money.

I am another person who has made a mistake with this company address is the same but company name is OPO Hair. I purchased the wig through opohair.co.uk but it's not koi n the UK, It's the same issue as everyone else - charging £180 for fake synthetic wig with absolutely no shape or style, it took 5 weeks to arrive and it's a shapeless, disgusting, rough plastic nonsense - an acrylic mess. Not only false advertising but they are trying to run me around in shady email circles saying they'll give me 30%, then 35% now £100 it's just wicked. 3 weeks of going back and forth acting like they don't understand me - after some digging it turns out the company is hidden behind 2 fake companies here in the UK, they have given me the same address as you all have sent your returns to - I have started action with PayPal but something tells me God Almighty will need to get involved now to even stand a chance of getting my money back. It's my fault I felt in my heart to stay with Amazon but I really wanted a Human Hair wig. I saw there was 127 people who have had the same problems.

Wrong colour... Should have been Wavy Brown, arrived straight and blonde.
Awful hair. Remy? Really.
Pic. Was a lovely tapered short cut. The one arrived, is not tapered and hair coming out.
I have received so many e mails back from mine, re excuses for not giving me my refund.
SO disappointed and angry.
Hope Pay Pal will help.

Thank goodness for PayPal as without them I would have been out of pocket. The wigs I received were nothing like the pictures shown in either style or colour. The company refused to supply an address for returns but instead offered increasing amounts of money to keep them. Even after PayPal found in my favour they were offering money for me to keep the shoddy wigs. No thank you!

Terrible service.
February 19, 2020

Do not waste your time and money with Howigs. I received a wig that looks nothing like the picture on their website. They won't refund period. They just send a lot of unhelpful emails. They say they will exchange but they want more money. (Even for a cheaper wig). In my opinion they should be taken to task for their terrible business practices. Feeling very ripped off.

Received wig from Howigs today for $128.00 got a wig that looks nothing like the pictured wig on site i ordered. Ive emailed them and expect a full refund. Do not buy from Howigs in China, they misrepresent their product and send anything in stead.
I will return with follow up as have no clue what response will be sent.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
February 9, 2018

Please do not use this company. I wish I had looked at these reviews first. An absolute rip off. My wife is fighting cancer and did not need this trouble. The wig was nothing like the picture on the web site. The customer service is a joke. Excuse after excuse. No chance of getting our money back. I hope these people get treated the same one day. Please avoid

Scam website
September 25, 2017

This is a scam website. The wigs are coming from China, even if you order from co.uk site. When they arrive, you have to pay extra money because of clearance taxes. They did not tell me anything about extra taxes... My order did not arrived at all and they wanted to refund me just 20%, than 30% and now 40% only. I lost a lot of time talking on email with a totally unprofessional customer care. Today I raised a dispute on PayPal and hopefully I will get my money back.

Worst company ever
October 1, 2017

Don't do business with this company. After receiving a wig that could only be used at a costume party i have tried unsuccessfully to return this thing for over 6 weeks. After over 20 emails I have now filed a complaint thru PayPal and hope to receive a refund. Of course, it would be nice to have an address to return this thing but evidently that is not something any customer can find. Probably because there would be a mountain of returned packages and create a fire hazard. I am a cancer patient and really resent this company and it's deplorable lack of customer service.

Return
April 11, 2019

The website says it allows returns on goods not tried on or worn. How does one know if it fits or the right style without trying on? I bought four wigs and wanted to return two. After three attempts they will issue a return if I purchase more with their "discount". I keep what I have and buy more... Oh yeh. Good business for them, but dives into my pocketbook more. BEWARE... what you buy is what you keep.

Wigs were rubbish when they arrived, returned them to address on parcel, have had many emails from them saying that they were never returned, and now they will not refund my $276, bad enough having to buy wigs because of illness let alone be ripped off by company...

The wig isn't even good enough to wear to a fancy dress party. It is absolutely hideous. They won't give you a refund and will even have the nerve to try and get more money out of you by offering to make another for a reduced cost. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. They even give the impression they're a UK company with their. co.uk website address when they're actually based in China, which is totally dishonest and misleading. I'm still fighting for a refund.

The wig was poor in every aspect. They refuse to reimburse me for returning. I spent 32$ to return and it was sent back to me after 2 months. Address does not exist and company quite the scammers. I am out 132$ and feel victimized and abused by this company. Please do not purchase from them. Don't go through what I did.
