I bought a wig from a site that I thought was located in Canada. It was a short layered wig. I waited over a month for this wig to arrive. It was nothing like the picture at all. It wasn't short, it wasn't layered it was absolutely horrible. I contacted the company immediately and I got a song and dance and run around. I am suffering with cancer and going through chemotherapy I just didn't have the patience to keep fighting with them. I had a friend of mine style it a little better and I donated the wig to a cancer hospital. These people shouldn't be allowed to continue in business. I wish I would have read the reviews before ordering. The company is a scam through and through.

I ordered a wig from Howigs in December. It took forever to get the wig. I paid $500 for the wig. It was supposed to be 100% remy human hair. The wig was not human hair, and the color was not at all what was shown in the picture I ordered.It was the worst quality of hair and wig I have ever seen. I brought it to 2 wig specialists to attempt to color it. No salon would touch the wig, as they had no clue what fibre the wig was made of, and they ensured me it was not human hair. I immediately contacted the company to return the wig. After approximately 20-30 emails (and 2 months later) from Becky, who would NOT provide me a return address, I contacted PayPal. PayPal contacted the company for me to get the return address. Becky told PayPal I had accepted a 20% discount they offered. This was NOT true. I told PayPal I did not accept any discount the offered and I wanted my full refund. PayPal got the address. I recently shipped the wig back, and will receive my full refund in 5-10 days. This was truly the worst on-line shopping experience I have ever had in my life. The company really should be shut down.

Good luck everyone :)

WORST COMPANY EVER!
March 16, 2017

WORST COMPANY EVER! This company does not honor their return policy at all and continually emails me reasons to keep the wig! They have refused to send me a return address for over 20 emails! The hair on the wig was nappy and it only came with 2 clips to hold to your own hair! What a disappointment I'm product and customer service!

Beautiful Wig
February 25, 2017

Beautiful wig! A little edgy but tendrils cover the back of the neck and the does. The color was perfect. Exactly right. Feels good. Lifts my face. Just the kind of haircut I would have loved when I had hair (but not enough of it) Love it!

Why Are They Still...?
February 23, 2017

This company is an awful, deceptive, joke... except that it's not funny. They advertised a human hair, lace front wig. They used a great model. I think it may be Vivica Fox. My mother paid almost $200 for this wig. She ordered a large, but it's much too small. The "lace" front is just weird, like remnants of the veil of an old hat someone lost in the attic. When they were contacted so we could find out how to return for a refund, they only explained that the size was correct & my mom should "... measure her head..." They have found a clever means of extorting cash from the unsuspecting folks outside of their country.

WONDERFUL!
February 8, 2017

I am doing my happy dance. Thank you HoWigs! My previous tries at wigs locally were a disaster - too big, too much hair and I looked ridiculous. My hair is thinning at a fast rate due to medication so I had to do something. The style is exactly how I once wore my real hair, so it all works. I was able to take it out of the box and immediately style it with my fingers - away from my small forehead - just like the pictures showed. So once again, thank you, for thinking of customers that fit my category of needs. I am going to order more!

Would not make the right color, would not refund, crappy customer service. Fraud is a good word for it! If there was a "zero" star, I would highlight it.

I paid money through PayPal and ordered a wig on the 8 th November 2016. Paid 63 GBP and when I did not receive and complained they asked for more money to treship it to me, again I paid the extra 15 pounds and still did not get it s stupid story about authorities in USA destroying the wig and later another story about being sent to a bogus address! Now they are asking for more money to reship again. FRAUD

Run away - don't walk

The name says sooo much. My mom bought a $100-plus wig from SoCal... So she thought. The cheap, dusty, hairless wig came straight from China, with a $20 price tag attached.

DO NOT BUY
December 2, 2016

Do not buy from this site. They do not honor the return policy and will send a bogus return label and tell you that if merchandise is returned it will probably get lost! Terrible customer service! Beware before you spend your money, you wont get it back! The wigs they send do not look anything like what is shown. This site is not legit and somewhere in China!

Do not buy from howigs
November 20, 2016

I spent ninety dollars on a wig that was modeled by Kylie Jenner in the original picture. It had dark roots, was long, and wavy, and I ordered it in a platinum blonde color. The wig i received was about ten shades too dark, it was shoulder length, and didn't even have dark roots. I emailed the company and went back and forth with some illiterate woman who offered to send me five dollars for my troubles. I said absolutely not, and threatened to take legal action so she responded and offered to refund fifteen dollars. Needless to say, I still have this unusable wig, and I'm out 90 dollars. DO NOT BUY FROM www.howigs.com THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF

SAVVY UP LADIES!
October 5, 2016

Ordered a Wig from them then cancelled within 5 minutes of purchase. They kept sending me emails to please keep my Order offering discounts, gifts etc. Stated no thanks just want full refund. They eventually said ok no problem will refund full amount but are having trouble with processing the amount thru Paypal (problem on Paypals end). I'd had enuf and put in a Claim with Paypal to deal with them. Lo & behold I got my full refund within 2-3 days. Thank u ALSO LADIES THEY SCAM U BY SAYING CUSTOM WIGS WILL NOT BE RETURNED ETC BUT THEY WILL NOT STATE ON THEIR SITE WHAT IS STANDARD ORDER AND WHAT IS CUSTOM ORDER HOPING YOU WILL NOT PICK UP ON THIS POINT UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE ORDERED A WIG AND BY THEN IT'S TOO LATE - YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED!

HORRIBLE WIGS SELLER
October 2, 2016

Not only your wigs won't have the quality stated in their website but they'll also send you the wrong colour and refuse for any refunds or returns. Its completely unacceptable!
It's unacceptable that I was sent the wrong wig colours/size and they've simply refuse to at least correct it! No refund is actually done as stated here on their website, this looks like a scam website and I'm keen to denounce it online! Don't use this webpage

Woot possible customer service. Flat out lied about the incorrect wig color then claimed it was a custom order which it was not.

End result. No possibility of returns and I'm out the money.

Do not order from these people. They are liars and thieves

Received wig from Howigs today for $128.00 got a wig that looks nothing like the pictured wig on site i ordered. Ive emailed them and expect a full refund. Do not buy from Howigs in China, they misrepresent their product and send anything in stead.
I will return with follow up as have no clue what response will be sent.
