November 17, 2018

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

Discusting
November 4, 2018

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.

HoWigs is TERRIBLE
October 21, 2018

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.

Do not buy from them
October 16, 2018

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!

How do you say "JUNK"
August 14, 2018

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".

Happy and satisfied
August 6, 2018

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.

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.

Don't do it.
June 19, 2018

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.
