I wish I could give 0 stars! I ordered my hair last month and didn't get a notice until it was 2 days before my trip that they were out of stock! Days after I ordered it mind you. So I requested a refund almost a week ago and still nothing. Lily is very snappy! You should be able to answer basic questions without catching an attitude. She then went on to tell me that I have to contact my bank to see when they will release the funds?!? That doesn't even make sense. Be sure to read there fine print about processing times. Spare yourself the headache and drama and just don't order from this place!

I just hung up with Kenisha who claimed to be the top manager. I bought 12 packs of hair of the same brand of hair I always use (Freetress); but this hair was course and kinky and matted together within one day, plus it did not retain its curl/wave pattern AT ALL. Kenisha says that the product is not faulty; it is just not my preference of hair. The hair not retaining its shape has nothing to do with PREFERENCE! They will not accept my return because it is not within 14 days of delivery. I foolishly trusted SamsBeauty and assumed they sent a good product.
DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE

Horrible service and horrendous customer service. My box was shipped with missing items and their reply was "our system is 100% accurate so there's no way it is missing". This was not the first time I am ordering but it will definitively be my last. These are items I paid for and did not receive but they did not care. That's the definition of stealing. Sam's Beauty stole my money and if you value your money, stay away.

This is my first time using Sam's Beauty. I never received package. USPS said that it shows it was delivered to the mailbox. I live in an apt complex so mail gets misplaced. I contacted Sam's Beauty and told them The whole situation. They wrote me back saying there was no resolution. They were so unhelpful and not willing to give me a resolution despite informing them of how many times I had followed up with USPS. NEVER USING SAM'S BEAUTY AGAIN. Waste of money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I placed an order on the 29 of November 2018. For some reason the order was delivered and then returned to this seller's company without my knowledge and permission. I have been begging for my refund ever since.

What I hate most is, if is me that return it then sure go ahead and remove return fees, but hey I ain't the one who returned it. I NEVER received package. Now I asking for my refund is another problem!

GOT my refund, and 40% removed for restocking and returns. I honestly find that percentage to be a huge rip off and if you have to consider, NO one would like to be reaped off like that. The bible spoke of Honest business & also treat others as you would like to be treated. This is the 2nd time its happening to me from THIS company, and it surely won't be happening to me again.

I won't lie, they do have good products, and I very much liked some. I even over looked some of the faulty products I gotten from them but right now, that's a final straw. This restocking fee is absurd, especially for persons like me whose salary is small and have to lost that big a chunk of it to a company like that!

I usually use other hair sites bc I get my items within 1-2 days of order since they ship the same day. Decided to use Sam's bc the shipping was cheaper at the moment. $4.99 vs $8.99. Had I know shipping takes about 5 days, I would have just paid the extra $4 on my usual site. Other than that, no complaints.

Sam's Beauty work on your shipping time please! Your competition is beating you there!

RIP OFF!
November 28, 2018

DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! I spent over $100 on a lace front wig. The day that it arrived I tried it on and it was too small. I contacted them that same day and advised them that I wanted to return it. They told me to filed out the online request for the return and they would let me know in 1 to 2 days. After 1 day I received a email stating that I can not return it because I tried it on. I advised them that their return policy does not state that. AGAIN... DO NO USE THIS COMPANY!

I ordered a wig from this company that I had to return because I did not like the style. It was my fault that I did not notice the 30% restocking fee. That being said, the wig was returned in perfect condition hence the minimum restocking fee of 30% charged. To lose $40 just like that is plain wrong. I will never order from this company ever again.

SHIPPING
November 17, 2018

Why is international shipping so ridiculously expensive, the cheapest shipping option to Australia is $53.15 which costs way more then the actual product I am purchasing. This shouldn't be the case, I would love to purchase from you guys but the shipping is way to much I believe you would also gain more international customers if your shipping wasn't so outrages. I suggest looking into this and making some changes.

We are definitely aware of the prices for international shipments with our current carrier. We are working towards a solution for this issue. We hope that in the near future we can use a carrier that provides us a more reasonable price for international customers. Thank you for your review.

Monday was Veterans Day (observed) so the post office was not able to pick up any of our packages that day which is why they received your package the next day. All packages are picked up at the end of the business day. Your tracking shows delivered to you today, 11/16/18. If it was not for the holiday your package would have arrived on 11/15/18. Holidays can delay packages especially if the carrier is a government company. Please keep that in mind when ordering online. We apologize the holiday caused a delay and inconvenience for you. Thank you for your review.

Scam
September 13, 2018

I purchased 8 wigs and returned 3 because the wigs look crazy. I paid and shipped them back and was told that there was a 30% restocking fee because I took them out to look at. I was told I should have looked at them through the box and not taken them out. I WILL NEVER order from Sam's again.

I ordered a wig and it took it off my card. But the site said it was a error. The items were still in. The cart but there was no order history or email. NOTHING! I work hard for money as a single mother and deserve answers.

Purchase several items from this company and they continue to ship defective hair to me. Their customer service is horrible. I spoke with a girl name Lily and she was very unprofessional and uneducated. I will never order from this company again.

Poor customer service
August 30, 2018

I placed my order August 26,2018. The money came out, the same day. At first it showed a tracking number, on my order history. Now, it shows nothing. As if I never placed an order. I have tried calling, and emailing, and no response. I will not be ordering from Sam's beauty again.

So far so good
August 22, 2018

I've ordered from SamsBeauty twice in the last month or so, and have had no issues. I live in Toronto, Canada and was quite hesitant and anxious about ordering from the states given that I most likely would not return defective or wrong orders due to the cost. I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed. Thanks to the SB team. I appreciate the service... so far. Let's hope they continue to deliver.

I purchase a 100% Human hair remi wig from Sam Beauty Supply and with 1 week it was unusable. The hair was matted like a furball or rug. I sent an inbox and they were rude and said they sell the product, but they don't make them. A $80+ dollar wig should last longer than a week. RUN..

Our items are sold as is as available as we are not the manufacturer of the item. Remi Human Hair wigs need proper care and storage to ensure the longevity of the item. Please contact the manufacturer of the item for further assistance. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I don't mean to sound like a cliche, but take some of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. I'm also aware that sometimes competitors leave negative reviews for obvious reasons. Sure I read the reviews before ordering. It didn't deter me. I'm really glad they don't accept returns on open wigs. Would you honestly want a wig that's been on someone's dirty head? I don't. I've ordered from Sam's a few times, the shipping is speedy and I received everything I've ordered. Don't forget to read the return policy to be sure it's something you can live with. I truly don't find it that unreasonable. Also keep in mind, they are not mega billion dollar amazon where you can return things for any reason for free. They cannot have a liberal return policy and continue to offer the lowest prices. They'd be out of business in no time.

Last time i ordered from the comapny they sent me the wrong items. I had to do a charge back to get my money back. So this time when i ordered after the transaction was completed i called and asked them to plz make sure my order is pacjed correctly. The lady was super rude with a bad attitude she stated she was a manager and her name was "kanisha" if i could give zero stars for ger attitude i would. She was a real poor lady i will never buy from them until she is fired.

We apologize for the inconvenience. A prepaid label was sent to you, after you provided us with photos of the wrong item, so you can return it for a full refund or a reshipment. You were requesting a refund of the item without having to send it back to us. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with a wrong item claim until the item is received back at our facility. On 7/26 you called and spoke to Canisha and, requested to have a memo notated on your order so the warehouse department can double check your order but, our warehouse team cannot see any comments from customer service. She simply informed you of this and that we also have taken the necessary measures to ensure this issue does not occur again. You called back and a customer service representative simply wrote the memo on your order as requested. Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. As soon as we have the tracking number for your current order it will be sent via email. We appreciate and value your feedback. Thank you for shopping at SamsBeauty.com!
