    Terrible experience! Ordered 9 wigs and sent 8 back as they were horrible! Was told I could get a refund, but since new orders took over, they would not honor my refund. They kept the wigs and my money!!. I am OUT over $500! I am pursuing legal action. I am a senior and cannot afford to throw $500 away.

    This website Paula Young or customer service is not a trusted company. I placed an order. I called customer service directly on November 12 telling them that I needed a wig by Friday, 14 November they said not a problem, I can pay extra to have it expedited. Well, the 14th came and no wig so I called customer service and they said the wigs not gonna be here until the 18th or 19 November, I made it very clear that I was going on a cruise and I was doing chemo and lost a lot of hair so it was important and imperative that I got this wig. They said that they would reimburse me the shipping which they never have and it was over $15.

    When the wig gets here, I have to send it back and pay for my own shipping. The problem I have is they utilize customer service employees from different countries like the Philippines, Korea, etc. Half of them don’t even speak very good English and I was questionable on that, but I was in desperate need of a wig in the future, do not order from this company. They don’t live up to their expectation or the words are nothing but liars. I’m a liar and I will definitely send them a nasty letter.

      While I have ordered many wigs from Paula's Young in the past and they were great for starter wigs, I have started ordering elsewhere as it doesn’t seem the styles are up to date, plus I like lace front and rooted colors but Paula Young has very few choices in this category.

      Apparently Paula Young wigs is going thru a transition HOWEVER there is no way to get in touch with them in the meantime, not even by phone. I have ordered thru their catalog and paid with a Postal Service money order. I hadn't received my order so I did my best to get in touch with them. Paula Young sent me back the money order.. which obviously is no good to me SINCE IT'S MADE OUT TO THEM! I cannot cash it. So now I have to mail it back to them and insist they send me my product. Otherwise I'm out this money completely. The fact that they're not available to their customers during this transition phase is infuriating! I will be mailing a letter back with the money order. Whomever is transitioning this company is doing their customers a disservice.

      Stay away!!! Horrible deceptive marketing product and customer service. Purchase says can return or exchange even clearance item in 30 days. Called customer service same day as receipt of product as wig color and size not right. Despite their own invoice stating item can be returned or exchanged, they refuse to make an exchange or return. Called twice spoke to two diff reps who each said I could not return but they would transfer me to a supervisor and each cut me off before I could speak to a supervisor. They are cons not honoring their own stated return policy which is on the back of the invoice. Now stuck w/ product wig I can’t use after upcoming brain surgery. Big mistake to trust this con artist company!!! Stay away!

      Paula Young will NOT TAKE BACK ANY WIG OR HAIRPIECE MARKED CLEARANCE AND EVERYTHING IS MARKED CLEARANCE. They are not even exchangeable. Make sure you know this before purchasing because if you hate it, you are stuck with it.

      My elderly mom has bought Paula Young wigs for years and in the past, it was easy for her to place an order over the phone. This week, after we had sat down together to pick several out from the catalogue that she liked, she called to place her order, but the customer service agent was very rude to her and raised his voice to her to reiterate that the wigs she wanted didn't come in a grey color. (Even though the catalogue showed that it came in a variety of grey colors). The whole interaction didn't set well with her, and now she will look for a wig elsewhere. The Paula Young company needs to train their representatives better, especially when dealing with elderly customers.

      Last week I tried making an order from Canada. I ordered one wig and then phoned same day to change my order to two of the same wig. Paula Young debited me incorrectly. I phoned back and cancelled the order, same day, as the wigs had not been processed to ship yet. They are not supposed to debit us until the order is processed (what Paula Young told me) but they debited me twice for the same order regardless. Buyers beware. PY is no longer a company you can trust to process your orders correctly. I now have my bank dealing with them to get my money back. 😢

      Paula Young presents wigs as inexpensive via promotions. "Try the wig, return, no problem" - except USPS $$$ to return & restocking fees $$$ take back more $$$. Use local salons instead. Save $$$. Plus wigs are very slippery, shiny and really far looking compared to photos and colors do not match their palettes shown. Really an awful experience for an elderly person on a fixed income. Returned for one and gave her $$$ from my own pocket to make up her loss to Paula Young promotion she believed.

      I've bought many styles and tried hard to justify spending any money with this fraud company, but they are by far, the absolute worst wigs on the market, so now I will say it plainly. BUYER BEWARE! :-( I have wigs going back over 40 years from other brands, and I have wigs from Amazon and Walmart dot com for $20.00 bucks, and those are all far better made, BETTER FIT, better design, better lasting, more comfortable, than anything out of the factory-seconds that PaulaYoung is selling as first quality with wig caps that are the most atrociously bad fitting wig cap fit on earth, with wigs that shed like a sick dying dog, and large noticeable bald spots in the cheap flimsy thinning design.

      You don't dare go to dinner in these wigs, or to a buffet of food, or serve food in these wigs because others will be choking on your shedding disgusting hairs.

      I'm writing this review, because I've purchased and returned so many, and even after they bait and switch their fraudulent pricing and coupon lies, that I had to warn others, that these wigs come with scalp mites in them. The last wig I ordered was worn, smelly, disgusting, and had carpet powdered deodorizer in it and rat mites too. When I contacted customer service, they warned me that if it was "returned in anything less than perfect, there would be no refund, and it was my job to absorb the cost of the loss." So, "Buyer beware."

      My best advice to any customer: Buy anything off of Amazon for $19-28 dollars, and you'll get a far better wig at a far better price that will last a long time, than any deal at Paula Young. But on Amazon, just do your homework studying there between the brands and styles and colors, because the advertisers put no money into faking photos on a junk wig to make it look better the way Paula Young does.

      I've been awesomely surprised by various Amazon wig qualities which have been really well made. And I've been horrified by Paula Young half-bald, skimpy, flimsy, shedding, mite-filled wigs, which ALL ITCH, because they're infected with rat mites and disgusting. I have had to soak the wigs that I kept in bleach and Dawn, which killed the itch very well. And I had to wash my own hair and scalp in Tea Tree which I left it in to kill the contagious mites.
