Wig Review Thread
« on: January 20, 2011, 04:44:53 pm »
I see a lot of people coming in here asking "Where should I get wigs?",  "How is the quality of the wigs from x?" and other related questions.

I know we have a wig help thread but I thought it also might be beneficial to start up a thread with the reviews of wig stores we have bought from.

I will try my best to keep the front page of this update with links to what page each review is on, but with that I would like it if you guys followed this guideline for wig reviews so it will be easier to get the information that we need...

Pros Great service, heat resistant tangle free and wigs have a ton of volume.
Cons Sometimes you have to thin out the wig because of the sheer amount of volume. Wigs are also very bright colored and don't have blended fibers so It doesnt look exactly "natural". Also wigs are a bit on the pricy side but are worth it in the end.
Rating and would you buy from them again: FIVE STARSSSSSS IVE BOUGHT LIKE 6 WIGS FROM THEM ALREADY <3

I had also gotten a wisp before they started discontinuing their Cosworx line

Pros
They are ok wigs. Not terrible and they worked for what I needed.
Cons
Expensive. You can get a lot better wigs from other places for less money. The fiber quality isn't anything special and my longer wig tangled badly. The wisp that I received also had a lot of unnecessarily crimped fibers near the base.
Customer service is pretty terrible. They will take forever to answer your questions, if they answer them at all. And they have sent me the wrong color wig twice, each time taking forever and arguing if they should give me an exchange or not. Shipping also takes a lot longer then other wig shops that I've ordered from.
Rating and would you buy from them again
4.5/10 They will not be getting my money ever again due to bad customer service.

Pros
Again, decent wig and it worked for what I needed it for.
Cons
Kind of thin and agian, nothing special. You can get a better wig for a cheaper price. Shipping was also god awful and took about a month to arrive.

5/10 Due to sub par wigs I will not purchase from them again.

Pros
HANDS DOWN THE BEST WIGS I HAVE EVER OWNED. They are defiantly worth the price. The wigs are EXTREMELY thick, probably the thickest I have ever handled. We had to actually thin out the second wig to make the bangs lay a little flatter. The fibers are beautiful and look very natural, they do not have any weird gloss to them. They are also very, very soft.
They can take a beating too. They don't tangle much while wearing them. My poor first wig went through a rough time when I let a friend borrow it and she threw it on the floor of a car and left it there for 2 weeks (3:) but with a bit of work I managed to get it untangled and it's surprisingly still wearable. I forgot to mention that they are also heat resistant.
Cons
The cost. The wigs are $70-90 dollars and shipping is $30. Order in a group if you plan to buy from them to split up costs and I do not suggest buying a wig unless you plan on using it a lot.

9.5/10 I will defiantly buy from them again.
