Wanted to return a wig and exchange for another..same price. Waited 2 weeks with no word till I called to find out status.. Was told they issued me a partial refund.. Very upset as No one called or emailed me. I called few times prior to today's call. They don't care if they have your business..I'm shopping elsewhere.

I buy wigs from many different sites. But most of them are inexpensive wigs because I'm on a budget. So I was extremely excited when Paula Young had a great sale and I was able to get one of her wigs. It was normally a $130 wig that I got for $19.99 plus shipping and handling. When I got the wig it was beautiful in the front but in the back you can literally see the cap through the hair. I'm so disappointed I can't even begin to tell you. The cut is beautiful on the wig. The hair is beautiful but it is worthless to me if I am worried that people can see the cap every time they look at the back of my head. I feel like people would be laughing at me. So I'm extremely disappointed!!

    My 92 year old mother ordered a wig because she is getting thin in back. The wig they sent her was too small so she sent it back. I called for her because she received a letter stating she would not be getting her money back because she ordered clearance. The wig she paid for was 29.99 and when I called they said she would get a 20.84 cent credit or exchange. I asked why 20.84 when she paid 29.99. They said they charged her 9.99 for shipping and a dollar(?). So my mom said she would order a 39.99 wig and apply the 20.84 toward it.

    When I called they said that equals 61 and some cents and with the 20.84 credit it would be 40. I asked how? And they said 39.99 wig, 12.99 shipping and tax and getting product off the shelf and anything else they could think of. Surprised they didn't charge us to talk to us. When I said you advertise free shipping on your catalog, she said page "2" at the very bottom in small letters it says free shipping on orders of 59.00 or larger. This Co. is deceiving, crooked and should be shut down for deceitful practices.

    I purchased The Shannon Wig and 4 other items at 30% off on 2/3/24. Wigs are advertised online to arrive from the US in 5-7 days. After tracking the order a promise of delivery 2/18/24. I have sent emails and have been since blocked. Customer Service has told so many different stories, and the order is not correct and the price is not correct. Today is my birthday and no refund or products. I am dying of Cancer and on Disability. Thank you Paula Young. You are a thief and fraudulent Company.

    Purchased 2 wigs and had to return them. I ordered another wig which I have already received and waiting for acknowledgment that my return has been received. I reviewed the packing list and the order total was $85.74 and the cost of the wig was $59.99. They added a $1.95 fee for staging (?) and $3.99 for staging (?) with sales tax ($5.82) and shipping/handling ($13.99). I will never order from this company again!

    Paula Young advertises free shipping and returns. However, they only returned 2/3 of the money I spent on a full wig because they charge for all manner of handling and shipping costs. For a $90 wig I purchased and returned, I was reimbursed $68. I'll never do any business with them again.

    I purchased a wig from Paula Young with a 30% off coupon and free shipping. The total was $213.29. Before the hairpiece came, Paula Young Co. withdrew $300.88. I called the company and they said that the wig I purchased was not subject to a 30% discount so they took the 30% away from my order and charged me a total of $300.88 which was tax included. They NEVER notified me of this error or change. I have a receipt from my initial purchase and I feel they should honor the price I agreed to. I never would have bought the wig at their regular price. Thank goodness I had the money in my account or payments I made to others may have bounced and I would have been charged a service fee. They will not budge on the price at all. I returned the wig which they can keep and I will NEVER buy another wig from them again. This should be illegal and very poor customer service.

    I ordered a wig. I called the company asking how I could work with them to make the wig look better. The woman had a heavy Asian accent and was hard to understand. Her attitude was clear: she didn't care. Since then Paula Young keeps adding on more charges to my credit card, in small amounts. What a scam!!

    I purchased two styles of wiglets. My hairdresser recommended one of the styles, however, she said the hair was so sparse that I should order two and she would try to "weave" them together. I returned them and was charged $10 for the return and $1 for ?????. The second order was for two of the "delicate touch", but they sent the wrong color-their error. After speaking with two "customer service" reps, I finally was linked to a supervisor who asked that I return them and she would send out the correct color with no return fee for the previous two. As of today, not only did they charge $10 return fee, plus $1 for ????, but did not credit me the amount I paid for them. So....I have paid $145.67 for two wiglets that were advertised to be $119.98. Besides the fact that the wiglets have hardly any hair in them (I never put either on my head), I am out $25.59 for what? I guess the old adage: "You get what you pay for" (cheap equals cheap) is true. Never again!

    I returned 2 wigs because they were not as expected and just did not look good on me. I returned the items (Meryl and Harlow wigs) on 8/31/23 using their return label for which I paid extra and will be deducted from my refund. They received the items on 9/11/23. They have a policy of giving you the refund, but you have to wait 7 to 10 business days to get the refund according to their Customer Service Rep. It's surprising to me that it should take so long to get a refund. On the back of their packing slip, which you get in the box with the wigs, it clearly states that it takes them 3 business days to process a refund or exchange. This means that I should have gotten a refund by now as it has been 4 business days (9/15/23). However, I was told by Customer Service when I called, that I will have to wait until 9/26/23 to get the refund. This means that they do not follow their own procedure on returns.

    You have to pay them immediately when you buy their product but have to wait what seems to me to be a very long time to get a refund and totally different from what it states on the back of their packing slip!!!! I think they should have a better system in place, being a very large company, to get you a refund more promptly and to also follow their own policy on returns and exchanges!!! I am very unhappy with Paula Young's service, not to mention they add on a charge of $1.95 which they call a "staging fee". There is no explanation as to why they add this charge to your bill.
