CysterWigs CysterWigs Review: Great Selection and Video Reviews, But Some Delivery Issues

I gotta say, I'm a big fan of CysterWigs. They've got a great selection of wigs at prices that won't break the bank. And let's not forget about their video reviews - they're super helpful when you're trying to decide which wig to buy. But, I gotta admit, I've had a few issues with my orders in the past.

It seems like every time I get really excited about a wig and place an order, it ends up being backordered or there's some kind of delivery problem. It's a bummer, but it happens. The most recent time I ordered from CysterWigs, I was really looking forward to getting two new wigs. But when they didn't show up, I started to get worried.

I checked the tracking link that CysterWigs provided, and it said the wigs were on their way. But after a few days of waiting, I still hadn't received anything. So, I contacted my local post office to see if they had any information. They didn't have the package, but they said they'd look into it for me.

After a few more days of waiting and getting nowhere, I decided to reach out to CysterWigs for help. I spoke with a customer service rep named Jo, who was really nice and said she'd look into the issue. A little while later, I got an email from Annie, who took over and did a great job of handling my order.

Long story short, I eventually received both wigs and I absolutely love them. I'll be posting reviews of each one soon. I'm really grateful to CysterWigs and their staff for helping me out and making sure I got my order. Hopefully, I won't run into any more issues in the future, but if I do, I know I can count on CysterWigs to help me out. Thanks, guys!

CysterWigs Cysterwigs Review: High-Quality Wigs and Toppers with Easy Returns and Credits

I just started wearing wigs and toppers last fall, and I stumbled upon Cysterwigs. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I decided to order three wigs to see how they would look on me. I ended up keeping one and returning the other two. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to return the wigs and get credits for them. I later ordered two more wigs, but I had to return one because the color didn't suit me. Once again, I was issued a credit promptly.

I did have a bit of trouble with one return, as I couldn't initiate it online and had to call customer service. But for some reason, I was issued a refund instead of a credit. Despite this minor issue, I had no problem using my credits for other purchases once I figured out what styles and colors flattered me.

The Cysterwigs website is well-organized and easy to navigate. I found the online wig reviews to be quite helpful, although I wish there were more models who were more petite. Some of the wigs that looked great on Heather were a bit overwhelming on me.

I did have one minor problem with an order, but it was never resolved. However, it was such a small issue that I decided to let it go. One thing that would be helpful is if I received notifications about when to expect my orders. I've been waiting for an order for about a month now, and I haven't received any updates besides shipping notifications. More information would be appreciated.

Despite these minor issues, I've been very pleased with Cysterwigs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality wigs and toppers.

CysterWigs Cysterwigs: The Best Wig Store for Cancer Patients and Wig Wearers Alike

I lost my hair about 5 years ago due to chemo and because of my diagnosis of Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, I knew that I would never be off of chemo. I wanted to feel like myself again, so I started wearing wigs. I watched reviews on YouTube and Heather (owner of Cysterwigs) and many others, and I began to love wigs. I bought wigs from Cysterwigs, as well as big wig sellers.

It became apparent that the wonderful sales, information for wig wearers and, above all, customer service made Cysterwigs stand out. For example, there have been a couple times where I have seen a wig while I was perusing the internet and wanted to order it. Unfortunately, no one sold the wig online. I contacted big online wig stores, but they all said there was nothing they could do. I contacted Cysterwigs and asked about special ordering the wig and heard from Heather. This was before Cysterwigs had their CCHD.

Heather was wonderful. She let me know that the wig I was interested in was only sold in brick and mortar stores, but she would try and get it for me. Heather was able to get me the wig I wanted... this happened two times!

From then on, I have strictly bought from Cysterwigs and have seen the growth of Heather's store. And even though her store grew so much that she needed to enlarge her customer service and hired more help, the warmth of the small online store remains.

Thank you Heather for all you and your staff do for your customers. I am always referring your site to others and will continue to do so. I love the way you treat your customers and the way you make us feel like family. Keep up the good work!

CysterWigs Luxurious and Lovely: A Review of the Estetica Becky Wig from CysterWigs

Yo, so I gotta say, I was pretty stoked to get my hands on the Estetica Becky wig from CysterWigs. I mean, I had checked out some of their videos and stuff, but let me tell you, this wig looks way better in person. The hair is so freakin' soft and luxurious, it's like running your fingers through a cloud. And the color? TR613/27, baby. It's a light strawberry blonde with some pale gold tips, and it's the closest thing I've found to my natural hair color.

Now, I gotta be real with y'all. I do have a bit of a petite-average sized head, and the Estetica caps run pretty large. But hey, that's what the adjustable straps in the back are for, right? Unfortunately, when I start to sweat a little (which, let's be real, happens to the best of us), the cap stretches out a bit. But that's not just an Estetica thing, it happens with most wigs in this heat. That's why I always wear a bamboo wig cap or a wig grip, and I swear by this stuff called It Stays.

The only thing I would change about this wig is that I wish it had a little more hair on top. The other Becky wig I had was definitely thicker up there. This one's a bit sparse, and I worry about being able to see the wefting and wefting lines underneath. But hey, that's what wig caps are for, right? I've got a cream-colored one that I think will work well with this wig.

All in all, I'm super happy with my purchase. The Estetica Becky wig is a classic curl style that's perfect for my spring/summer wardrobe, and the color is just *chef's kiss*. And the price point? Let's just say it was a sweet deal that I couldn't pass up. So if you're in the market for a new wig, I definitely recommend checking out CysterWigs.

CysterWigs CysterWigs Review: Great Customer Service, Virtual Try-On App, and VIP Sales, but Some Improvements Needed

CysterWigs is a great website for buying wigs. They have excellent customer service and provide lots of information about wigs on their website. They also have two YouTube channels and a virtual wig try-on app, which is really helpful when trying to find the perfect wig. They also have great VIP sales and low prices, which is a plus.

However, there are a few things that could be improved. Firstly, it's important to note that Heather, the owner of CysterWigs, is 5'8" with a larger than average 23" circumference. This means that most wigs look great on her because she is very tall and has a big head. This can be misleading for people who are petite, like myself, as the wigs may not look the same on us as they do on Heather.

Another issue is that the website could use more filters. For example, if you want to look for a Raquel Welch wig that is blonde, synthetic, and has a lace front, you can't do that. This can make it time-consuming to find specific kinds of wigs.

The loyalty reward point system also needs to be fixed. I lost 2,000 loyalty reward points due to an error in the system, and there was no way to correct it. This can be frustrating for customers who have earned points and want to use them towards future purchases.

Lastly, the return policy can be a bit tricky. They don't really take returns, so you have to be very careful with your new wig. You can try it on, but you can't do anything to it, not even run your fingers through it. If you don't think the wig is for you, you can return it at your expense for an exchange for another wig. It's important to read their return policy carefully and then re-read it again to avoid any confusion.

Overall, CysterWigs is a good company and I would recommend trying it out. Just be aware of their return/exchange policy and take note of the issues mentioned above.

CysterWigs Unfair Return Policy and Poor Customer Service from Cysterwigs

I gotta say, I've bought a few wigs from Cysterwigs - four to be exact - and while two of them were great, the other two just didn't work out for me. The second wig I returned was called Girl Mono, and it just wasn't my style. So I sent it back, but then I got it back from the company! I was like, "What the heck?" So I talked to Enrique, who works in customer service, and he told me that they had actually sent me an email saying they couldn't accept the return because the wig had a strong human odor, had been messed with, and was all messed up. But I never got that email! And they haven't shown me any proof that they actually sent it.

I swear, I never wore that wig for more than five minutes at a time, and I always used a head cover. I was super careful with it, and I sent it back within the 30-day return window, with the tag still attached and everything. But now they're saying I messed with the part and altered the wig? That's just not true! The part is a mono filament, so why would I need to mess with it? And the curls are still perfectly intact, just like when I got it.

I used a store credit to buy that wig, and I even bought another wig from them while I was waiting for the store credit to come through. But now I just want my money back. I complained to the BBB, but Cysterwigs just accused me of trying to scam them and said I held onto the wig for too long. It's just not fair! They have no integrity, and I'm never buying from them again.

CysterWigs Cyster Wigs Review: The Best Place for Wigs and Hair Alternatives

Hey there! So, I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. I was experiencing hair loss and didn't know where to turn. That's when I stumbled upon Cyster Wigs. Let me tell you, I was blown away by what I saw. Heather Hershey, the founder of Cyster Wigs and HairKittyKitty, really knows her stuff. I was lucky enough to have a friend who let me try on some of her wigs before I made my purchase. It was great to get a feel for what I liked and needed before I made my own purchase.

When I finally ordered my first wig from Cyster Wigs, I was over the moon. It was a Limited Collection wig and it was love at first sight. I wore it all day and into the evening and it was so comfortable that I didn't even want to take it off. And let me tell you, I live in the South where it's hot and humid, but this wig held up like a champ. I've since ordered a couple more wigs because, let's be real, everyone needs a backup and a backup for their backup.

The hair fibers are so soft and feel just like real hair. I couldn't stop running my fingers through them. And the colors and styles available are amazing. I've never seen such a wide variety of wigs in one place. But what really sets Cyster Wigs apart is their customer service. I recently had an issue and their customer care department was on it in no time. They resolved my issue by the end of the day and I was blown away by their responsiveness.

So, if you're in the market for a wig or hair alternative, I highly recommend Cyster Wigs and HairKittyKitty. They have exceeded my expectations in every way and I'm so grateful to have found them.

CysterWigs Buyer Beware: My Disappointing Experience with CysterWigs

I've spent a lot of money at CysterWigs, well over $3000.00, but unfortunately, they haven't treated me very well. When I tried to use my rewards points, which included a $20 coupon, for a $500 purchase that had a discounted wig, I received an email from Heather's partner that was supposed to be intimidating but came off as rude and flippant. They told me that reward points can't be used for discounted purchases, only for accessories. They also said that if using rewards with discounted purchases is a requirement for me, then CysterWigs hasn't fit my bill in the past and likely won't in the future. Well, excuse me, John, but this is the internet. I can go to any web store, put in a promo code, and get a discount. I can use my points and rewards at Voguewigs and other wig stores on any purchases without any hassle. Only at Blysterwigs do I get pushback.

Another issue I've had with CysterWigs is their constantly changing policy on exchanges. Originally, you could exchange a wig for another wig without a restocking fee. Suddenly, there's a new policy, but who knew? I purchased a wig and didn't like the color, so I let them know I was returning it for another wig, the same one but a different color. In the past, I was able to do that without a restocking fee. However, this time, I had to wait two months for my "refund." I received a "gift card" of $39, which is less than half of the purchase price of the wig (shipping is an outrageous $11.00 when most companies are free). When I complained, I then got a PayPal "refund" of $20.00. Now, I'm stuck with a $39 gift card, which won't equal much when I have to pay $11 for shipping and can't use it with any discounts.

While CysterWigs' older videos had some good information on color, Heather does disparage other companies, and that's bad karma. Her new wigs are okay, but they're way overpriced when you tally in the shipping and return policy. I can get good information from Taz on YouTube, and there are some other great wig companies out there that don't soak you and are honest. So, buyer beware of Blusterwigs.

CysterWigs Cysterwigs Review: Decent Selection, Cool Customer Reviews, But Poor Customer Service

They got a decent selection and some really cool customer reviews with pictures, which is why I decided to give them a try. I mean, who doesn't love seeing how the wig looks on someone before you buy it? The prices are pretty much the same as everywhere else, so no complaints there.

But let me tell you, their customer service needs some work. I tried calling them a few times, but it seems like the phone people can only take orders or check on orders. If you want to know anything about the products, you gotta play email tag. And they don't keep you updated about your order status either. I placed an order and waited for two weeks, sending several emails (because I gave up on the long phone hold times), and they finally told me my item was on backorder. But get this, I wasn't even listed on backorder on the site! Who knows how long they would have kept my money if I hadn't stayed on top of them.

Another person mentioned that they found customer service combative, and I can definitely relate. I asked several direct questions via email in trying to sort out an exchange, and they didn't answer even one of them. I wanted to know about the color, and they basically just told me that color is subjective. I mean, I get that, but I specifically asked how a color from one brand compared to one from a brand I knew to make it NOT subjective. Then they just sent me screen shots that I had obviously already seen. Clearly, they didn't care about what I wanted to know. And if they didn't know, the answer was, "I don't know." And they accused me of being hateful. By the way, I was going for an exchange because their return charge is WAY too high!

So, I'm sticking to NameBrandWigs. They even call me when an item goes on backorder and help me choose an alternative. They are helpful with color, style, density, and are always sweet on the phone. Their prices are in line with Cysterwigs, and their selection is wider, and now they have reviews! Additionally, while Cysterwigs says that they don't accept returns on their clearance site basically because no one does, NameBrandWigs does!

But hey, some people seem to like Cysterwigs just fine. If you don't have any issues with your order, they'll probably be alright. But if you're like me and want good customer service, I'd only order something you've ordered before from here!

CysterWigs Disappointing Customer Service: My Experience with CysterWigs

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience with CysterWigs. I mean, I had read all these great reviews about them, but when I had a problem with my order, they treated me like garbage. And it seems like I'm not the only one who's had this issue - if you read the reviews carefully, it seems like they're only nice to you if everything goes perfectly. But if you have a problem, watch out!

I should have known something was up when I tried to call them with a question before I placed my order, and I couldn't get through. But I figured, hey, it's the end of the year, they're probably just really busy. But now I'm thinking that maybe they just don't care about their customers.

The owner, Heather, has been posting these videos where she complains about customers taking advantage of her. I mean, I get it, you don't want people stealing from you. But don't go whining to the internet about it, and then use it as an excuse to be rude to people who are just asking for help. I think I got caught up in that whole "customers are trash" attitude.

All I wanted was some help picking out a wig, and I couldn't get any on the phone. When I emailed them, they just told me that everyone's different and they didn't know what I wanted. When I tried to explain my question again, they got really rude, and then Heather accused me of being abusive. I mean, come on! All I said was that I didn't think they understood my question.

Heather tries to act all sweet and cute in her reviews, but really she's just whiny and harsh. And it's clear that CysterWigs doesn't care about customer service - they just want to be left alone. If everything goes smoothly with your order, you'll never know how awful they can be. But I wouldn't take that chance again.

Heather complains that other wig companies have bigger staffs and have been around longer than she has. But you know what? They do a better job. I've shopped with Wigs.com and Name Brand Wigs, and I've had to make returns with both of them. But they were both super friendly and helpful. I don't care why CysterWigs is so bad - I just care that they are.

And if you're thinking about shopping at their outlet site, be warned - it's like going through TSA. And no, Heather, not every clearance site refuses returns. Name Brand Wigs accepts returns on clearance items, and so do lots of clothing stores online. So don't let CysterWigs fool you - there are better options out there.

CysterWigs Disappointing Experience with CysterWigs: Unreliable Shipping and Poor Customer Service

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience with CysterWigs. They make all these promises about when your stuff is gonna get shipped out and when it's gonna arrive, but let me tell you, they don't even come close to meeting those expectations. And the worst part is, they don't even bother to keep you updated on what's going on. They just leave you hanging, wondering when your stuff is gonna show up.

I ended up cancelling my order and getting a refund, which was a whole ordeal in and of itself. And then, to top it all off, I got a package in the mail for someone who lives in a completely different state! Like, what the heck? How does that even happen? And when I tried to get in touch with them about it, they were just so slow to respond. It was like they didn't even care that they had messed up.

Honestly, all I wanted was for them to set some realistic expectations and then actually stick to them. And maybe show a little bit of concern for their customers while they're at it. Is that really too much to ask? I don't think so.

CysterWigs Cysterwigs Review: Growing Pains and Expensive Returns

I gotta say, I started shopping at Cysterwigs because of TAZ's reviews. That gal knows her stuff! But lately, this store has been going through some growing pains and it's starting to show. I had a bad experience where I lost 40 bucks on a $230 wig with no coupons. And then they wanted another 40 bucks just to reorder the same wig in the color I wanted. What a ripoff!

If you're not 100% sure about a wig, I wouldn't recommend buying from Cysterwigs. Returns are a pain in the butt and they take forever. Plus, they're super expensive. And don't even get me started on their stock. More often than not, they don't even have the wigs in stock. They're just a middleman, which is a total bummer.

Make sure you read the fine print before you buy anything from Cysterwigs. They've changed their policies and it's not for the better. But hey, if you're feeling lucky, go ahead and give them a shot. Just don't say I didn't warn you!

CysterWigs Cysterwigs Review: Be Careful When Choosing Color and Style

I decided to give cysterwigs a try because they advertised that it was easy to find the perfect style and color through their return policy. However, I must say that if you're looking for a wig in a specific color, you might want to think twice before ordering from cysterwigs. I ordered a wig that I absolutely loved, but I wanted a different color. Unfortunately, I was out of town when it arrived, and I didn't have a chance to check it out until I got back home. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted a different color, so I contacted cysterwigs right away.

I have to admit, it took a while for them to get back to me every time I reached out. It seemed like it was always a day or two before I got a response. By the time we finally got everything sorted out, the 14-day return window had already passed. I was pretty disappointed, but I guess it was my fault for not being more careful about the color I chose in the first place.

So, if you're thinking about ordering from cysterwigs, just be aware that their return policy might not be as easy as they make it out to be. Make sure you're absolutely certain about the color and style you want before you place your order. Otherwise, you might end up stuck with a wig that's not quite right for you.

CysterWigs Disappointing Experience with CysterWigs: Shipping Issues and Poor Customer Service

So, I had a bit of a rough time with CysterWigs. I've ordered from them before and had some issues, but this time was really frustrating. I ordered a wig and waited and waited, but it never came. I reached out to customer service and they told me to track it myself, which I had already been doing. The post office said they never received it, but it looked like a shipping label had been made. It's been three weeks and CysterWigs won't help me out at all.

I'm pretty disappointed because I really like their selection of wigs and I've had good experiences with them in the past. But this time, it just feels like fraud. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm going to reach out to my local news station's consumer reporter to see if they can help me out.

Honestly, I should have learned my lesson from the last time I ordered from them. They messed up my order then too and I had to wait almost a month for a clearance wig. The first time, they accidentally sent it to the wrong customer and I had to wait for a replacement.

Overall, I'm pretty frustrated with CysterWigs right now. I hope they can figure out what's going on and make it right, but I'm not holding my breath. It's a shame because they have such a great selection of wigs, but if they can't get their act together, I'll have to take my business elsewhere.

CysterWigs Beware of CysterWigs: My Experience with Their Return Policy

If you're new to wigs, you gotta do your research, honey. Don't just jump in and buy the first one you see online. Go to a store and try some on, get a feel for the colors and styles. And don't forget to read the fine print, girl. I made the mistake of buying a wig from CysterWigs and it was just too much for me. The hair was too long and it didn't lay right against my face. And the color? Don't even get me started. It looked like something out of a cartoon, not natural at all.

So I called up the store to get directions on how to return it and that's when I found out about their "fine line." I had to pay a restocking fee of 40 bucks and then pay for the shipping label myself. And they didn't even tell me how much that was gonna cost! When I asked why it was so high, the guy on the phone told me I should've read the return policy. Well, I did read it, but apparently I missed something.

And then he had the nerve to tell me they had to make sure the wig wasn't damaged and didn't smell bad. Like, what? That's just insulting. So needless to say, I'm never buying from CysterWigs again and I'm telling all my friends to beware. Don't make the same mistake I did, girl. Do your research and read the fine print.

CysterWigs CysterWigs Disappoints: My Experience with the Crowd Pleaser Wig

I was so excited to receive my Crowd Pleaser by Raquel Welch wig from CysterWigs. I had a big event coming up and needed the perfect wig to complete my look. I even paid an extra $45 to ensure that it would arrive in time. However, when I finally received the wig, I was devastated. It looked nothing like the Crowd Pleaser style that I had ordered. In fact, it looked more like the "man in the moon" than the wig I had been eagerly anticipating.

I was so upset that I immediately took the wig to the post office to return it. Unfortunately, I had to pay an additional $11.00 to ship it back. So, not only was I out $56, but I also had a headache from the whole ordeal. CysterWigs did refund my money for the wig, but they also sent me a letter suggesting that I look elsewhere for a wig. I was polite in my response, but I was still disappointed that they didn't take responsibility for their mistake.

To prove that I wasn't just being picky, I took a picture of myself in the wig and compared it to a picture of the actual Crowd Pleaser style. When I showed the comparison to my friends, they all agreed that the wig I received looked nothing like the style I had ordered. Despite this, CysterWigs only offered to refund my return shipping, which they never actually did.

If you're thinking about buying a wig from CysterWigs, I would highly recommend that you do your research and read reviews from other customers. Even though I did my due diligence, I still ended up getting taken advantage of. Save yourself the money and the headache by being extra cautious when shopping for wigs online.

CysterWigs Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Cysterwigs; Found a Better Alternative!

I gotta say, I was pretty bummed out by my experience with Cysterwigs. The customer service was just plain bad. I mean, come on, how hard is it to keep your website updated? I ordered a wig and had no idea whether or not it was even in stock. And get this, five whole days after my order was confirmed, I got an email saying that one of the wigs I bought was on back order for two months! What the heck, Cysterwigs? Why was it still on your website if it wasn't even available? And why didn't you let me know right away?

So, I decided to reach out to their customer service team. And let me tell you, it was a total disaster. I talked to a few different ladies on the phone, and none of them seemed to care about me or my concerns. They were totally unprofessional and didn't seem to know what they were doing. I don't know what happened to all the good employees that people have been raving about in past reviews, but they must have all quit or something.

Anyway, I decided to take my business elsewhere. I found this other wig company called wigsbypattispearls.com, and let me tell you, they are amazing. They offer the same 30% off and free shipping on $50 orders, but their customer service is top-notch. They really go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy and satisfied. I'm so glad I found them, and I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

CysterWigs Cysterwigs Review: A Reliable Source for Wigs or a Scam?

I gotta say, I was pretty impressed with Cysterwigs when I first stumbled upon their website. I mean, they had a ton of different wigs to choose from, and the prices seemed pretty reasonable. So I decided to take the plunge and order a few wigs from them. And you know what? Everything went pretty smoothly! I was pretty happy with my purchases, and I felt like I'd found a reliable source for all my wig needs.

But then things took a turn for the worse. I decided that I wanted to exchange a couple of the wigs I'd bought, and that's when things got really frustrating. I got an email from someone at Cysterwigs (I won't name names, but let's just say it rhymes with "Mandy") telling me that they wouldn't accept my return because the wigs smelled like smoke. I was absolutely livid. I mean, nobody in my house smokes, and I definitely didn't store the wigs anywhere near the kitchen. But apparently, that didn't matter to Cysterwigs. They made their decision, and that was that. I was out a few hundred bucks, and I was pretty darn frustrated.

And you know what really grinds my gears? If you read the fine print on almost any online wig store, you'll find that they all have ridiculous fees for changing anything in your order. Restocking fees, hidden charges... it's all a bunch of nonsense. And what really gets me is that companies like Cysterwigs prey on people who are already going through a tough time. People with cancer, people with alopecia... these are folks who are already dealing with one of life's biggest challenges. And yet companies like Cysterwigs seem perfectly content to take advantage of them.

So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm done with online wig stores. From now on, I'm only buying from my local wig store. Sure, it might be a little more expensive, but at least I know I'll be dealing with real people who actually care about their customers. As for Cysterwigs... well, let's just say I won't be supporting that particular travesty any time soon. And I really do wonder how the people who run these businesses sleep at night.

CysterWigs Warning: CysterWigs' Refund Policy Requires Printer Access & Poor Customer Service

I recently bought a wig from CysterWigs on March 22, 2019. It cost me $70.81, but luckily there was a 30% off sale at the time. However, I want to warn you all that if you don't have a working printer, you won't be able to get a refund because they require you to fill out a form. I shipped the wig back the day after it was delivered, but I waited patiently and still NO REFUND. Finally, on May 10, 2019, almost 7 weeks later, I sent an email to ***@cysterwigs.com. Unfortunately, they do not have a phone number for a real customer service department, all you get is a recording.

I got an email back from them stating that they had issued a refund for $52.03 and that it would take several days. However, I copied my response to their email and let them know that this was so bad and so wrong. I mean, it's been almost 7 weeks now and I still don't have a refund on an item purchased on March 22, 2019. And then they had the nerve to steal $19.00 from me. I need to know the date the refund was issued. How many is several days?

STOP sending me Emails. Your company can't issue a refund, but you can send me an email every other day. I would have been a really good customer. Not that anyone will care, but I will never order from you guys again. Not after this experience. It's just not worth it.

CysterWigs Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Cysterwigs: A Review

Last autumn, I decided to try out Cysterwigs for the first time. My usual go-to retailer, Namebrandwigs, didn't have the Aspen Estetica in stock, so I thought I'd give Cysterwigs a shot. I was really impressed with the video reviews that Heather did, so I had high hopes for my purchase.

Unfortunately, when I went to order the Aspen, it was out of stock. However, the website did give me the option to receive a text when it was back in stock, so I signed up for that. About a week later, I got the text and immediately placed my order. However, a week later, I was told that the item was actually out of stock. I was really disappointed, so I reached out to customer care to see what was going on.

To my surprise, the customer care representative was really combative with me. They claimed that they had sent me an email letting me know that the item was backordered and that I hadn't placed my order right after the text. I was really shocked by their response, as I hadn't received any such email. I even checked my junk folder to make sure. I expressed my disappointment to them, but they just told me that the wig was backordered and that other retailers would be in the same position.

I decided to wait it out and see if the Aspen would come back in stock. In the meantime, I placed an order with Namebrandwigs, but even they were backordered. However, it only took them a week to fill my order, while Cysterwigs took an additional two weeks. I was really disappointed by this, as I wear wigs for Alopecia Universlalis, not just for fashion. I need a retailer who is more sympathetic to my needs.

Overall, I was really let down by my experience with Cysterwigs. While I appreciated the video reviews, the customer service left a lot to be desired. I hope that they can improve in the future, as I would love to give them another chance.
