Ordered a wig as I'm in my 60's and balding on top. I ordered a layered blond wig. I got a long curly ginger one. I Looked like Tim Healy in Benidorm! Unable to return. Its bad enough for me, but so horrible for people with cancer to be ripped of. Do not waste your money
I ordered 2 human hair wigs at curly shoulder length.
I was sent 2 long hair wigs & thought it was mix up. Despite emails etc and being told so much crap I am left with Wigs.
Even Pay Pal never got my money back. Nearlly a fortnight pension.
Dont even think about buying from them. Read private reviews and see how many cancer patients get ripped off. Definately a nasty site, I know its horrid but these people need a taste of what they put clients through.
May they all lose their hair.
I wish I had seen these reviews prior to purchasing a wig. The wig was very different to the product I required. The website advertised a money back guarantee. I contacted the company the day I received the product and asked to return the wig. Despite 20+ emails, I was completely unable to communicate my concerns and the company refused to acknowledge their money back guarantee and would not provide a return address.
I opened a PayPal dispute and it was assessed that I was eligible for a full refund, however Howig did not acknowledge the receipt of the returned wig and PayPal closed the case prematurely.
I then reopened the case and have now accepted a partial refund as after 5 months of trying to access the full refund, I have run out of energy to continue the dispute claim.
I feel Howig is a dishonest and unethical company that does not honour the terms that it advertises. I would completely avoid any dealings with them.
Product NOT as advertised. More like a Halloween costume wig, rather than something you can use. Maybe they are WHORE-wigs... Totally junk products, and totally junk communications (e-mails, out of China) with customers. If there is a "positive" review - it is a fake.
Do NOT order from HOwigs. Terrible product, 2 month delivery, rip-off. Outfit.
Thumbs down.
Wig came small and wrong color, can't color it because it is synthetic, when I paid for human hair. Can't return it for the last 4 months.
When I tried to brush it hair coming out in pieces. Total garbage. Don't waist your money.
Ordered a wig from the style and colour of Howigs chart. My hair was almost gone from chemotherapy when I received it three weeks later. I cried when I opened the box. Bright red when I ordered dark blonde. A terrible cut and adjustable clip pressed into the back of my head. I attempted to return it, and even though I meet all the terms and conditions, they would not accept a return with a full refund. Emails continued to go to and fro for months on end, continually asking for more money to replace this wig. I lodged a dispute with Paypal and also my bank. I posted the wig back at my expense of $48.00. Howigs continued to say they had not received it back, but I had a tracking number. I eventually got a chargeback through my bank, after lots of stress but it became about the principle of it. I am surprised with all the complaints paypal will still allow payments to go through them. If you need a wig for Halloween this is your shop. Janine M
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...
Wanted to buy a real hair wig that looks like my own hair. I found one on the Howigs online page. It was just what I wanted. It was the right color and style like my real hair, or at least the photo on that page looked like that. I was frustrated and disgusted with the lousy, ugly wig they sent to me. Wrong style, color and cheaply made. The top is thin and has odd black hairs running through it. It looks NOTHING like the wig they had the photo on the webpage. When I asked for a refund they asked me to pay another $60.00 and send back the wig. I said no, it not what I ordered or can use. We went back and forth too many times to count. I finally copied all of the emails and the photos and sent them to the fraud complaint department of my Credit Card company. The Credit Card refunded my money. Now Howigs is hounding me to pay to send that ugly wig back. I told them if they want this cheap wig back they can send a pre-paid shipping label. They refused. They want me to pay $22.00 to send it back. No way! They tried to cheat me and I will not be out a dime for the rotten company. The wig is so gross. I am sure they would send it to another unsuspecting customer thinking they are getting a beautiful wig when they are not. BEWARE!
Don't order from this site it is crap I order a wig months ago and only to receive a wig which was nothing like I order and I also had to pay 14.20 when the post man came and I was horrified when I open the box the wig was disgusting nothing at all like I order i have e mailed them maybe around twenty times and now they say it was the one I order omg and said I could return it. Me pay to send it back to them I have already paid money for the postage and the wig so I am going to let all the other company's be aware that this site is a con artist I have lost my money and the postage and no wig
Disgusting don't buy from here I order a light blonde straight with bangs this is what they sent the one I order was very much like Reese nothing at all like this
Do not buy from these wig suppliers. Wigsis.com, howig.com, Hairware.
They are scammers. Wigs are awful, nothing like pictured.
They will not answer you for return. That say that I did not order wigs from them, they chachange their e-mail. Scammers.

Their product line is nothing but JUNK. I wouldn't mop my floor with the wig I received. Nothing at all like the photo that represented the product. In fact, their site has taken the photo down as I write this. They are liars, thieves, scammers and I hope they choke on my $86.00. Karma. Karma will get them and I hope soon. (Along with PayPal. Not too pleased with PayPal either. I will not ever use them to purchase anything again.) Other company names they are 'affiliated with' are TopHair, Inc., WowWigs, Inc as well as HoWigs. Substandard products with a capital "S".
I am happy and satisfied with the wig I got from howigs.au. It is exactly the same as the one I saw and ordered from their website. It was delivered at me on the specified time as stated at their website. The wig I got is of good quality and I like it very much.
I will order another wig from howigs.
Wig received was not wig advertised - wrong style, wrong size, wrong color, very poor quality. They refuse to let you return... I have had to go through credit card company to file a dispute claim to try to have charge reversed. I would never recommend this company. Another fact - the company is physically located in China.
Horrible place to deal with, They are set up to SCAM you in a big way.
Please do not buy from they as you will not receive product that you have ordered.
Going to take legal action against them.
It's shocking SCAM!
Well if you want to get expensive Holloween wig this is a place to buy it. They do send product but its nothing what it looks like on a picture. I say stay away from this site. You can buy the same wigs for less just go to any china town.
Do not buy any wigs from HOWIGS.COM. I ordered a wig and it arrived. It was terrible. It was not what I ordered. The style was different. The hair was falling out from the wig. They did offer to provide me with a new wig free of charge as long as I was willing to pay for new shipping and handling. I was not going to send any more money after first disaster. The wigs are made overseas and they have no return policy.
DO NOT ORDER FROM HOWIGS. Howigs products are inferior and their return policy is not honored. Numerous request to obtain an address to return a product and a refund have been denied.
No quality control, labels are mixed up, colours are horrendous. What I got was nothing like the wig I ordered. I had seen the wig in a retail shop then ordered the suppossbly same on on line. This company is not honest. Wish I had seen the reviews before losing my money. Then they wanted me to try again and would give me 10 % off. No return on mop they sent me. I feel cheated. Never again.
I purchased a wig through this company it was completely the wrong color the testure nothing near to human hair and the prduct i got seem very cheap and style is totally wrong. Ive been corresponding with Lucy and begging for my money back. But they dont want to refund. I paid almost $500. They asked me to exchange now reading all review i am not happy to do so. The wig was never used. It was still in the bag. Dont buy form them they product is useless. I am taking this matter to small claims now.
I purchased a wig through this company it was completely the wrong color. Ive been corresponding with Lucy for months now begging for my money back. I sent them the wig back (which they made me pay to do). They now have my money, they have the wig and they still wont refund me. The wig was never used. It was still in the bag And in my most recent email I was offer 10% of what I paid. BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE BUT THEM. THEY ARE CROOKS
Answer: I got a full refund (after an avalanche of emails and ridiculous offers from the customer service reps). They refused to give me a return address but I got it once I lodged a claim through PayPal. Another customer went through her credit card company (not sure what she did but a phone call to their Head Office is where I'd start). Don't give up... if we all followed up they would soon be out of business). I'm in Australia; the return postage cost was definitely not too bad and worth it just to hassle them. Good luck.
Answer: Been trying since Nov 2019 to return my wig & won't send return label. Keep offering to lower purchase price to keep. Paid $65 and only offering to refund $25 even though I followed return policy. Still have not received my refund. Company is a scam
Answer: Receiver: Mr. Zhao Address: Room 521, Building No 1, ZhongXingCheng, Beiyihuan Road, Yaohai District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, China Postal Code: 230011
Answer: 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.
