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!

They are terrible. They send a different wig from the one your ordered and will not refund your money. They are in China. Don't do business with them.

DO NOT BUY!
April 26, 2018

These people are scam! The pictures on their website are taken from legit wig companies. The wig you order won't even resemble the wig you will get from them. Don't even try to get your money back, they won't give it back. I sent 29 emails back and forth and nothing's happened. They wouldn't give me a return address, so I couldn't sent this terrible wig back to them. At one stage they offered to make another one, but wanted me to pay for postage which they offer for free on their website. Now I don't even get a reply to my emails.
Stay away from these chinese company!

Don't, Please don't waist your time with this company! They are nothing but a SCAM! I can't say this enough! They Will Not refund your money. They don't stand behind their refund policy or their product. I paid them $268.00 for two crappy wigs, I wish I knew at the time I ordered and paid this amount what I was going to be dealing with. They don't have any other way of communication except for constantly emailing. No address, no phone to call! No nothing! You deal with Sara or Lucy through emails only! I have come to the conclusion I am fighting an uphill battle, and I am on the losing end! I go back and look again at their wigs, and found another wig I liked that was a Human hair wig. I told them to just swap me out with that wig, keep in mind (they are still overpaid by $46.00). They said they could do that, but I need to send the other 2 wigs back first! "TELL ME WHERE!" "WHAT IS YOUR DAMN RETURN ADDRESS? Then I was told to send another $14.00 for shipping. I said just take part of the $46.00 owed to me for the $14.00 shipping. I'm already in the hole with them! I told Them I wasn't spending another dime with them! Again I asked for the address, to ship the other gorilla wigs back, and so far I've received no response! They need to be shut down or caught scamming people! Does anyone have any recommendations I should do to get my money or the other wig? Please advise!

Absolute scam
April 11, 2018

The 2 wigs I received were totally different to those described and pictured. I ordered human hair, lace front and mono filament. I received synthetic hair, no lace front and not mono filament. So upsetting that consumers are taken advantage of by this site. I refused all offers of money from this company insisting the wigs were not as described and only because I had paid with Paypal and paid the return postage did I receive my money back. I hope this helps others caught by this company.

I hope people do read and take heed to reviews. I hope this will stop others from having to deal with the loss of money, time and a huge disappointment. Look for another company and read their reviews. I actually found a great wig company near me. The prices aregoodand you can see quality. Wowigs is a scam. There is no customer service and they will not stand behind their products.

They lost my wig and I have been harassed ever since. Harassed to let them make me another one with a %age off. This Sarah, who I'm sure isn't her name, keeps saying she will get in trouble if my money is refunded like I should care and pay for their mistake and it looks like they make nothing but mistakes by the reviews here. It is truly another Chinese rip off. I will never order from a Chinese company again. Again, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!

NO customer service
March 17, 2018

I ordered a wig approximately 3 months ago. It finally arrived. I was excited as the box was opened only to have extreme disappointment when I saw it. The hair was the wrong color... Maybe it can be colored. I put it on and discovered a flaw in the front of the wig. It was as if a few rows of hair was put on going in the opposite direction of the rest of the hair. I tried contacting them via the website... Nothing. After waiting a couple weeks I contacted them again via the website... Nothing. I have yet to hear from them. The next step is to contact the credit card company. I would advise anyone to stay away from HoWigs.

I wish I had read the reviews first - this company is a total rip off.
Sadly, a lot of the women who order wigs have cancer & this is the last thing they need BUT this company in China dont give a stuff. I ordered a real hair wig and got a wig that was absolute crap & didnt look anything like the wig I ordered. I would happily donate to the Cancer Council but I am sure they wouldnt want it.
My fault- should have checked reviews etc - a lesson learnt & of course this company advertise a lot but have no accountability at all.

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

To WIG or not to WIG
February 5, 2018

Howigsau will not get a positive review... Howigsau do not refund your money but will encourage you buy another wig, they will also charge you more to redo another wig with an extra charge My price changed 3 times from AUD $20 to AUD $25 to AUD$30. The wig I ordered looked nothing like the picture... very disappointed. I ordered a wig stand with the wig. I did not receive the wig stand and to date still have not received. Placed first order 2nd January 2018... to date it is 5th February - 35 days later and still waiting. DONT EVER BUY FROM HOWIGS

DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE PICTURE! They told me they would give me partial refund. Then kept reducing the price. DISHONEST. DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY. I sent them copies of email they sent me stating price they would refund. They changed their mind. No refund. Its awful going through cancer and trying to look better and having to deal with them... Don't buy!

Bad wigs and bad service
January 22, 2018

I ordered 2 wigs after reading on their website that returns are possible in 15 days. The wigs looked nothing like the ones on the website, they were made from bad quality plastic and looked awful. They were also way to big for the size I ordered. They were sent by DHL, so I had to pay an extra CAD30 $ to receive the parcel. I tried to return them but after 4-5 e-mails where the customer representative said a definite NO to returning and tried to make me feel compassionate about people who worked on these wigs, I gave up. I am 250$ poorer. I will complain to the trade bureau and try to close their website. Thieves! Please stay away from them.

OMG what have I bought!
December 27, 2017

I wish I'd read these reviews before I placed an order. It looks nothing like the wig on the model. I was worried that the one I'd chosen would be too blonde. I wish it was blonde. It certainly looks like a wig. I won't return it as everyone seems to have difficulty in knowing where to return it. I'll put it down to experience

RIP OFF
December 22, 2017

I'm $274 poorer. The wig I received was not the one I ordered. The fringe is cut bluntly and coarse, can't recut to save it. I ordered a petite size, but received a large.
Hair feels like horse's hair. A total rip off.

They will take your money and send you a bogus wig. Don't do it! Got a wig that was not made for me. Sent the wig back and now I'm just out! No wig, no money! Plus I have no hair due to chemo.
