“LIARS CHEATERS THIEVES”

Linda R.
9/12/22

I bought a "Human Hair" wig and received a cheap cotton candy synthetic wig (Halloween rated wig). I tried to return it and received a lot of resistance. This wig came from China (don't need to say anything more about that). I found that if I wanted to talk to a person I would have to call at 9:00 pm and speak to someone who I had a very hard time understanding. China takes pride in cheating Americans. They refused to help me and finally after 5 months they agreed to give me back a partial refund. I'll just say this it was a $100 loss to me. If you're thinking about ordering thru them I caution you to DONT DO IT!

I don't know if all the connections is with one companies. But, anyway this particular one associates with the name Joseph is suspicious. Something isn't right with this Company's they give you a hard time with a refund and they don't want to give you most of your money back. I'm fighting right now trying to get my money back. Please go elsewhere. If you're mailing back the merchandise you paying an arm and a leg to send it back. It's not worth. And by the way that guy is obnoxious and it seems like he harassing you on the phone.

Tip for consumers:
When returning a product they take to long to contact you . And their response will be you send in the wrong tracking number. But you’re sending what’s on the mail. I deputed with my bank, but they seem to get upset with you, when you do that.

Wigs are not lace fronts, you don't get thick wigs even wen u order the 200% density the wigs i got were so thin the cap showed through 2 of them can't even be worn at all cuz there's no part in them so it looks like ir cousin IT, customer service was disgraceful, there return policy says they pay for return shipping if wat u received was poor quality or wrong color which mine were both. I sent them the pictures of the wigs showed them the flaws n eveything but they were declining to pay to return them n only wanted to refund me $10 n I could keep the wigs which aren't usable anyway. I went back n forth fighting with them for weeks I was even willing to settle for half my money back eventually they offered me $25 so I took it only because I was fed up with arguing with them. This site is a scam you o not receive wat ur seeing in the pics n u can't even leave reviews on the site. Since this happened I have been posting about them any n everywhere I can so they opened a new site to try n start over without all the bad publicity the new site is cexywig.com becareful!

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE!! GO ON EBAY LOOK UP STYLEVALLEY OR GLAMOURSYLEWIGS THERE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT THERE GOOD QUALITY AND U CAN ACTUALLY WEAR THEM. IM NOT SAYING THIS CUZ I MAKE MONEY OR ANYTHING CUZ I DONT THIS IS JUST WJAT I FOUND N NOW BUY ALL MY WIGS FROM. IM JUST SHARING SO OTHERS DON'T GET RIPPED OFF

COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE REFUNDS! Firstly, the colors are MUCH darker than what's pictured online. Received item and didn't like color. First Red Flag: Contacted site for RMA. Waited days. No RMA sent. Called company. Second Red Flag: The gal pushed and pushed for exchange, instead of refund. Finally told me what to do with it. Third Red Flag: Wig Salon received item and said my card "couldn't be refunded". They had NO PROBLEM taking the funds but BIG PROBLEM refunding. They even went as far as accusing me of having a fraudulent card! The emails from said owner were very uncaring and flippant. They now hold both the product AND my $150 and they refuse to understand why I'm upset! The company is a scam and I hope someone scams them as much as they have scammed me.

Wig Salon will PROMISE delivery of your items with pricey expedited shipping,. So they say! Wrong! They will lie and make any excuse in the world for why your item arrived days late despite paying the fee. I missed a wedding due to their unprofessionalism. I was dressed and waiting by the door for the delivery that never came. NEVER use them.

Barbara made my buying experience atrocious. Purchased two wigs for my mom's birthday; they arrived weeks after the order. Also, the website is soooo outdated with limited user functionality. Will never, ever, ever purchase from here again nor recommend to anyone. Would give zero stars if possible.

I wanted to return a wig and although I didn't see it on the website prior to purchase and I looked, I was told wigs over $150 can only be exchanged.
I don't want to exchange anything from a company with such horrible service.
The wig looked nothing like the photo which is why I wanted to return it. I have been a customer for years but never again. Wigs.com is much better.

Purchased 3@ $55.00 /wig. Wanted to return 2 of 3 but they will only give me refund on one minus a restocking fee and store credit for the other. Received the one I'm keeping two weeks before other 2 arrived. But my card was charged for full amount the initial day of purchase not shipping date. This company needs to catch up. Look elsewhere please.

Recently purchased a wig from WigSalon and the experience has not been pleasant. My biggest complaint among many is their return process. I am trying to return a wig by following their process and emailing them for a Return Authorization... but no response back from them. I've sent several emails but have heard nothing. I have called too, but their phone doesn't even ring on the other end. When I received the wig, it didn't contain an invoice, so I have nothing to identify the wig if I decide to send it back without an RA. If I type up something and send the package back, I have a feeling it will disappear into oblivion.

For the most part I'd say they are good, because they are no doubt the cheapest with respectable selection. The but comes in when you are expecting the quality to be A1; I have a friend who is an amazing hairdresser and like all wigs you do need to go to a hairdresser, put them on and let them reshape for your head. Unfortunately 80% of the wigs I have taken to her (which I do buy a lot, having extreme alopecia I look at this as my compensating factor) they have been defective in some way or another. A $250 Raquel Welch wig kept knotting up and the reason was the grains of the hairstrands were facing the wrong direction. I've had wigs my hairdressor friend swears were previously cut and as they were missing chunks. I generally don't return them as the cost of all the shipping and handleing increases the price too much. I have just had my friend make me a totally different look. Though in the 2 instances where I really needed to return the wigs as the problem was just too much, I couldn't make them usable under any circumstance, I found it so flustering I've considered just paying more and going to somewhere else!
So if you look at the reason I'm suspecting they are so much cheaper is because they are probably slight irregularities (they just don't tell you this) than you have a choice: do you want to take a chance because of the price difference or not? And do you have a good hairdressor to work with whatever you get? At least this is what I use as my determining factor as to weather or not I order from them again!

I bought a wig and chose the color from both the color samples and the pictures. The frosting/highlights shown in the pictures were almost totally missing from the wig, making it way too dark. I exchanged it for another, choosing a lighter color, but the frosting/highlights were missing from the 2nd wig also. They would not let me return the 2nd one, although it was their fault that the wigs did not match the color samples or pictures. Buy somewhere else! You have enough to deal with from losing your hair to chemo, without having anything to do with this company.

Allot of varieties of color wigs! Got the opportunity to take my mom and she bought 1wig! Helpful people, clean area, when you go here try to take your own cap hair protector otherwise they will provided you one and charged you for one at the cashier once you purchase a wig which i believe if its your first time they should of give it for free! Well its a way for them to make money.

Returned wig for exchange over a month ago. Customer service continued to say it wasn't received although post office confirmed delivery. Had to email several times for status and was told not received and that I should contact returns department. Finally, after I said that I would get post master and BBB involved they miraculously found my return. I'm still waiting for my exchange to be mailed. This unprofessional experience has been a nightmare. Ordering from this company is no longer an option for me. Other sites have excellent prices and customer service.

ZERO rating! These people will NOT refund your money or replace the wig. HORRIBLE COMPANY! They lie, too. After asking the status of my wig replacement (having waited 3 months), they said it was, "on back order." I asked for a refund, gave them a choice to replace the wig with one of two wigs, and they have failed to respond.

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

This is absolutely the worst site for wigs. I bought several from them because of the low price but you get what you pay for. They all looked like the ones they couldn't get rid of. Thin hair and two were mono tops and you could see the cap through the hair it was so thin. There customer service is terrible. I placed and order and was told that I could only send my purchase to the address on the card. Well that doesn't work since I have 2 houses and never live at the other one. I ordered one wig and it said it ships in 1 to 3 days then on the 5th day I got an email saying it was on back order. I told them to cancel my order and never got a response until after I notified my credit card company. I just do not trust them. I think they are scam artists and now I will only shop at Vogue Wigs. They are absolutely the BEST. So if you want the best pass on The Wig Salon and go to Vogue you'll be glad you did!

Having never worn wigs I was already distressed at losing my hair. My aunt recommended this website and I found and ordered a Gabor and a Noriko wig. I had a different shipping addressed than my credit card and Barbara wrote an email to make sure the card was indeed mine. I'm a senior citizen and so appreciated that extra service. The wigs arrived and were just as expected. The color and style were very natural looking and I feel very confident wearing them. Would I buy from this company again - YOU BET.

I have worn wigs for seven years and used WigSalon for five years. Kept telling myself I wouldn't use them again, but in a money crunch I did. Screwed once again. This time the first one was obviously a 4th or 5th on the throw out pile, and getting a replacement was like pulling teeth. Finally chose a different brand, more expensive only to receive a 4th or 5th from that line also. RQW would not be happy to see me wearing her name, that's for sure, not that I will show my face out the door in this hideous thing, which by the way I can't return. WILL NEVER GIVE THEM MY MONEY AGAIN! I am heartsick, bald-headed, and want to scream!

I have been going through a terrible struggle to get anything done through this company! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! They are only in the business to take advantage of others.

I placed an order almost a month ago. I received the wrong wig in the wrong color. Emails and phone calls, back and forth. Now I am looking like the one at fault because I don't want to risk the chance of another mistake. What do they do? They want to deduct money for restocking fee from my return, although it isn't MY fault! Not only that. They say free shipping, but they want to also deduct shipping costs from my refund!

This man I spoke with, Joseph, is a crook and a smarty pants! He has caused me so much grief, kept my money tied up for weeks, and refuses to refund all of it. I am still waiting on my refund. I suffer from panic attacks and other disorders. I am on disability, and I need my money. Do they care? NO!

Save your money and don't fall for their so-called cheaper prices. They will cost you grief and money in the long run. I will NEVER purchase anything from them again.

I have had a nightmare of an experience with this company and am currently being "blackmailed" to edit/delete my review of this company. I have paid a grand total of $105.74 in an effort to buy a Noriko Reese wig. Although we had an agreement regarding the Gabor Gala wig (referenced below in my original review), and I paid an additional $22.95 to exchange the wig for Noriko Reese, I am now told that they will not ship the item unless I delete my review regarding my truthful experience with their company. The following paragraph is my original review Wigslaon.com. Following that paragraph, I am copying/pasting actual emails between myself and Joe (the owner of Wigsalon.com) and Barbara (customer service rep). As you will be able to see, every time we have an agreement, he changes the stipulations of the agreement. WIGSALON.COM AND JOE ESTE HAVE NO INTEGRITY WHATSOEVER!

Original review: I received a Gabor Gala wig in a beat up box with no plastic, net or tags, and immediately contacted Wigsalon to let them know that I was not pleased with the wig and would be exchanging it for another wig. I received instruction on how to return the wig for exchange. The exchange instructions said to return the item with all packaging and tags attached... however, there were no tags or packaging... other than the beat up box. I returned the wig exactly as I had received it within the time frame mandated by them. When they received the wig back, they refused my exchange because there was no tag attached. I explained that the wig had no tag when I received it 7 days ago, so I could not mail something back to them that I never received. The company is refusing to exchange my wig or refund my money. I have done business for many years with Name Brand Wigs and have always been extremely pleased. This was my first (and last) experience with Wigsalon and I ordered from them only because this particular wig was on clearance at a good price on their site. I will not be doing any more business with this company and am working with my bank to recoup my purchase price since they are refusing my exchange. Save yourself a disappointment, as well as a headache and buy elsewhere. Name Brand Wigs is a class act company which can be trusted.

Hello Joe,
Your site advertises free shipping on all designer wigs, clearance wigs, etc. You are offering to sell me Reese for $104 ($18 more than i could get at Name Brand Wigs) plus $12.95 shipping when your website clearly states "free shipping." I will not pay for shipping under any circumstances. I have filed a complaint with the BBB against your company and will be happy to resolve this complaint once I receive my "exchange" wig under the terms which you advertise on your site.

If you are not going to ship my item, then refund my money in full. I'm sure several attorneys across the nation would be interested in your blackmail attempt and your refusal to deliver merchandise that has been paid for by a consumer unless your blackmail demands are met.

Excellent caring service."

Continuation of review...

Continuation of review...

I edited my original review of 04/16 to include the actual emails between myself and Joe Este (owner of Wigsalon.com) on 04/22/15. I gave Joe until 5:00 p.m. today (04/22/15) to provide me with a tracking # on my Noriko Reese wig which he refused to do unless I deleted my review of his company on Yelp or wrote a "false/glowing" review of his company. Having the integrity that I do, and not wanting to mislead other potential customers into the nightmare that I have experienced, I refused to do so and had informed him that I would make public the exact situation that I have encountered throughout my dealings with him and his company.

Here a few more emails... I'm limited to a 5000 character post, so I can't include all of them in their entirety.

To Joseph Este Today at 1:42 PM
Joe... I upheld my end of the bargain by paying the extra 22.95. Are you going to ship my product or not? My revising my review on your company was not a stipulation when i paid you the additional 22.95. Are you providing the product for which I paid or not? If you are not shipping... please let me know. I'm out of patience.

Joe,

Review boards exist to let others know one's experience/opinion. I have posted on Yelp only the truth about my dealings with your company thus far. In good faith, I paid you another $22.95 in hopes you would rectify the situation and deliver my "new" wig in a timely manner.

This has been my experience with your company...

I ordered a wig from your site... paid in full... received an apparently "used" wig with no tags, plastic, net or any retail packaging whatsoever which also was not a style that was suited to my face and one that I would never wear. I contacted your company within 10 minutes saying I was returning the wig in exchange for a wig that I wear year round. I returned the wig within your timeframe exactly as I had received it. I then was told you were refusing the exchange because there were no tags and would be returning the wig to me, and that you would be happy to sell me the other wig that I wanted. No one in their right mind would have bought another wig from you having received a "used" one on their first order. I posted on Yelp about my experience at this point and contacted the BBB.

Afterwards, you finally agreed on a somewhat reasonable price increase/difference to deliver Noriko Reese. I paid this invoice immediately (5 days ago) and then immediately received an email saying that the wig would ship "hopefully in about 5 days and that I should have it in about 7 days." It is now day 5 and your refusing to ship the product that I paid for in full unless I change a public review that I posted on your company... really?... Do you think thus far that you have given me any reason to change my review or opinion? I'm not going to be "blackmailed" in order to receive a product that I paid for.

The original amount that I paid to your company was $76.74 - received a "used/not my style" wig
Paid $6.05 priority mail shipping charges to return.
Paid another $22.95 in an agreement for exchange.
This brings my total to $105.74 that I have paid your company for a Noriko Reese wig.
This nightmare started on April 2nd. It is now April 22nd. I have no merchandise and am being harassed about a truthful Yelp review that I posted regarding your company.

I could have purchased Noriko Reese from Name Brand Wigs including shipping for $92.95 and had the wig within 72 hours, no hassles, no problems.

If you would like me to revise my Yelp review on your company, then I need one of two things by 5:00 p.m. Central Time today.

1) A tracking # for my package showing the product is in transit to me. I will revise my Yelp review upon receipt of the product.

2) A full refund in the amount of $105.74 by 5:00 p.m. today.

If one of these two things do not come to pass by 5:00 p.m., I will post other "truthful" reviews about my experience with your company on multiple comment boards. That is my right.

Janice

Final thoughts: Wigsalon.com practices blackmail in order to deliver their promised goods. They are asking me to be dishonest and mislead others about my experience. I would never recommend this company to anyone. There are numerous other online sites that sell great wigs at better prices including Voguewigs, Namebrandwigs, acewigs, etc.

I have been buying wigs from wigsalon for years. Probably over thirty wigs. Always great service and even though I live in New Zealand, they only take about two or three weeks to arrive. I've never had any problems. I love this site and their gorgeous wigs. Im happy to continue purchasing from them. More than satisfied.
