Terrible Company
September 14, 2018

I only put one star because I can't review with negative numbers. I purchased a "custom" wig from this company and received a matted mess. The wig I purchased was a wave pattern I received a too small wig that had a kinky curl pattern. I have tried for over a month to get a refund and got nothing. This company is a scam and I'm sure any positive reviews are fake. When I complained about the state
Of the wig she told me to wash it which I knew would not fix it. This company also had me send the wig back only for her to say she received no tracking and I'm unable to get my refund. I will be filing a complaint with any and everyone I can until this company is shut down!

I needed a wig for my birthday and decided to buy a wig from Wow African after watching their reviews on YouTube. What upset me is some of these YouTube gurus get better wigs than they send to the actual paying customers.

The Wow African wigs are good quality up until you wash them. I think they put something in them to make them appear silky and soft. After washing my wig it started to show its ugliness! Lesson learnt I started buying wigs from different companies and washing them too and realised a lot of these chinese vendors are putting something in the hair to make them appear silky. I ended up trying that moramode UK and first thing I did was wash the wig and it was still soft and shiny but thought let me wait 3 weeks so it can show itself but no it held up very well. I am happy with her wigs and at least I know if I buy one it will last. As I've had this one for 6 months.

Hi Evangeline, so sorry to hear that. We check the shipping record. The wig has been used around 5 months and you only deep conditioned it for 4 times. Bec our hair is 100% human hair. Usually, we suggest customer wash and deep condition it at least once a week. We would like to free repair the wig to you but you refuse it. If you are willing to repair the wig, pls feel free to contact us by email. We will arrange to free repair to you ASAP :)

WORST COMPANY EVER
July 5, 2018

I ordered a full lace curly wig, it did come on time, but the carrier put it on top of my back porch table (and I live in a townhouse where there all evil people) so someone stole my hair. I called the delivery service, and they confirmed delivery, and when I spoke with Wow African they basically just didn't care. I asked for a replacement, I didn't even want the money back, but they wouldn't refund or send a replacement. I wasted $287 and some change with this rip off company, and will never order from them again.

Hi Kiarra, so sorry to hear that. We confirmed with DHL service. They tried to find your package. But it fails. DHL service told us that you authorized the package left somewhere. Bec of this authorization, DHL refused to claim for the package. We are always investigating with DHL service and try our best to find the package, Could you pls check your house again? We will confirm with DHL again and reply you by email later.

Disgusted
July 3, 2018

Im Very unhappy with this company. I ordered the hair on 25 may. I knew that i had to wait 15 days extra because of the color i choose. So first the seller mailed me that it Will be done on 20 of june. I thought that almost takes 30 days instead of 15, but i waited patiently. Then i heared nothing so i went asking when the hair wil be shipped. The seller told me to wait a week. I waited now 27 june still not ready. I have to wait another week now 2day (6 weeks later) the seller mailed me its done but instead of 22 inch (which i ordered the hair is processed in 21 inch of this is a probleem to me) after waiting so long and hear stuff like this i made the disccision to be done with wowafrican what a terrible factory is this.

Hi Esther, so sorry for the inconvenience to you. Due to the material shortage, so sorry for that there is a delay with your order. Before shipping, we double check the hair length. The hair length is 21in to 22in. There are lots of hair are reached to 22in. But it doesn't meet our shipping requirements. So we contact you by email and confirm to refund the extra price difference to you. It is our fault that we didn't process the order with your requirements. Really sorry for the inconvenience and confusion to you. We will improve our customer service and quality in the future. Hope you understand that.

I ordered my wig in the beginning of April (it has now been a month and a half.) When I was ordering the wig it did say 30 days for customizing but at this point it's just been way too long. I emailed them and they said it would be ready on June 6. Thats nearly two complete months to make a wig? Really? That doesn't even include shipping times. I wanted to wear the wig for a family event and its not going to be ready in time because this company is so slow

Hi Sasha, so sorry to hear that. Bec our factory didn't work on weekends, the 30 days is working days. Since the wig is made by hand. To make sure hair quality, it needs to take more time to process. Hope you understand that. Could you pls tell me your order No.? We will check the shipping date for you and reply you by email later :)

WowAfrican SUCKS
April 18, 2018

I ordered 360 FRONTAL WIG 180% DENSITY CURLY BRAZILIAN VIRGIN HAIR [TLW06] and from the jump the ends of the hair lost its curls. The straight hair might be nice from this company, but to pay $273 for a curly hair wig and the curls started to get loose and straggly from the day 1. Also, I ordered 18inch hair and the bag said 16 inches. It took way too long to arrive, especially knowing that the entire wig wasn't hand made. Come on man! I will NEVER order hair from this company again.

Starting from the moment i ordered the hair i wanted, which i saw my girl Kennedy from youtube rockinnnn, i watched her video to slay my hair sense i am a beginner to false hair... anywho confirmation and processing seem to be very fast, within a blink of an eye. I received my hair about two days after ordering it. Packaging of the hair was decent looking and well intact. Inside the box came the hair inside a satin bag, wig caps, also a brochure on how to properly take care of your hair. What i LOVE about the wig is the total natural look it gives me sense i am new to this. Also the best part is the non shedding ive had installed for about a week and half. Everything was as expected. I even thought the 16 in would look short but it was perfect for me. Tear. I will be ordering again from Wowafrican, - aka naniunknown ( youtube)

Wig dyed with fabric dye
January 15, 2018

I purchased a 10 inch bob in the color 1. WHen I receive the wig I loved it, I cut the lace plopped it on my head with a hat on and it was lovely, no shedding or tangles... I decided to stop being lazy and actually customize the wig. This is where the problems began. I went to bleach the knots & nothing happened. So I tried again and again for a total of 3 separate bleachings for 30 minutes each. I started researching the issue and found that the hair must've been dyed with FABRIC dye. So I had to use fabric remover to bleach my knots which worked wonderfully except the hair became a bit rough and now falls out aggressively when I run my fingers through it. I wish they wouldn't have used fabric dye and these issues could've been avoided.

Hi Lan, for color 1, bec it is jet black color, darkest color, the knots couldn't be bleached. Even if you bleach knots, knots won't changed. We suggest you use concealer with knots. It will make it more natural looking. Or you could order natural color in the future, we could bleach 2in knots to you :)

SCAMMERS!
November 26, 2017

Still awaiting TWO custom wigs that I ordered at the beginning of September! Several emails back and forth, then I stupidly ordered another, in their sale - which they said they had in stock (needed a wig desperately!). They are now saying I cannot have it as I have had to open a claim through Paypal for the other wigs!
They are trying to blackmail me by saying unless I close the claim theyll be keeping my money!
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPKE! Nothing but fraudsters!

Custumer service on top.
September 2, 2017

Its when things go wrong that you can judge the serious of a website.

I have ordered for the first time end of July and I will order again for sure. I bought two wigs that were in sale on the 22nd of July and the wigs were delivered on the 26th by Fedex (I live in france). I was scared to have to pay costums taxes but as they wrote the content as a 20$ item so I had no extra cost upon delivery which I was pleased about. The wigs are both very good quality and looks real but unfortunately one of them was not the one I have ordered.

I emailed the custumer service and in less than a half day I had a reply from a certain Oliver (so quick). He apologized, asked me to send me pictures of the wig and made a little investigation on their side to understand what happend. It appeared that they sent the right wig (references) but when they upload the picture of the wig on the website, they put the wrong picture by mistake (s*** happens). He proposed me to keep the wig with a discount of 20% on my next order or to send back the wig with a full refund which I chosed. As soon as they received the wig Oliver emailed telling me that they received the wig the same morning and informed me that the refund will be arranged the same day. He emailed me again couple of hours before later telling me that the payment was done and at the same time I received an email from paypal to inform me that Wowafrican had refunded me. All the way though I spoke to only one person, Oliver and he was absolutely understanding, helpful, nice and efficient.

I'm surprise to see the others comments because my experience with them was the completely the opposite and I can only recommend it. Really happy with the wig I kept and with the outcome of the situation.

Placed an order on August 7th. It is August 29th and still no wig. I have had to endure some of the most unprofessional and unsatisfactory email correspondences. After finally being sent a Fed Ex confirmation # today after 3 emails said my order had already been processed, i was sent a photo of a wig that looks like I could have bought it for $19.99 at a Halloween shop. I spent over $200 and I was offered a wig grip as a consolation. I am in disbelief that this has occurred. I have reported this business and await a refund. Below is the wig I ordered at 16 inches and then the pathetic photo they are sending out at 12 inches. The density IS SUPPOSED TO be the same so there should not be such a drastic difference.

Bought 3 pieces of curly hair with a closure. It is supposed to be a closure of 16inch, 1 bundle of 18 and two of 20 but they all have different lenght all together but in a misleading package showing the right length. Their customer service is very poor with no attention to details. The hair is very expensive yet very poor quality. I cannot stress enough. Do not order from them. I would give a negative star if I could.
