Fake Wig Sites

  It struck me that almost all of the Tgirls here wear wigs - well over 95% I would guess; some of us are lucky enough not to need to of course. But for those of us who do wear wigs it can be a minefield buying on line - will it actually suit you (or me) rather than the RG model in the photo, and will it fit?

  Obviously not all of us can try a wig on - in a salon, or say at a social event - like one of Manchester Concord's nights when wigs are for sale, to see if it suits us; and its often only one style or maybe two that suits. I know that with a long wig on I look like one of Prince Rupert's cavaliers making a charge at some re-enactment of the English Civil War, which is not a look I want.  I worked out years ago that shorter wigs in a variety of colors (though never black) suit my face, and so if I buy on line there is above an 80% chance that it will suit my features (when made up and ready to go).

  However, how can we know that we won't be ripped off when buying on line? I received this message from Wigtopia today, they are a genuine internet wig retailer pointing out the potential pitfalls of buying cheaply on line, and asking us all to practice vigilance. Obviously if you buy through EBay and pay through PayPal the risks are considerably reduced. 

   

  Here is their message :-

   

  There are an increasing number of fake web sites currently on line and the authorities seem helpless to sort this issue out. All these sites originate in China. The latest (ukcheapwigs dot com) is yet another site actively targeting vulnerable UK customers to extract money fraudulently and supply a cheap shit inferior product.

  With the credit crunch still biting hard and the cost of living still rising every single pound we spend has to count. Wigs are not cheap products and with long term wig wearers having to budget more and more many people find it hard to replace their wigs as often as they would like to.

   

  Don't be tempted by the offer of a cheap wig, as there is no such thing. If the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is!!

   

  If you know somebody who wears a wig then please warn them to be on their guard and shop from trusted UK retails (there are many including Wigtopia) who will provide a genuine quality product to you.

  Here at Wigtopia we feel that this increase in fake sites is harming the business of reputable UK wig retailers and tarnishing the image of the industry. 
  

  
  
  I hope for all of you that you have happy and successful wig shopping; don't forget that a good wig makes you look more feminine - a cheap one that does not suit you will look always look cheap. I am not recommending Wigtopia as the only source for all of you; even though I have bought from them and their service is good as is their TG section. There are other responsible wig sites, like our advertisers   - Hair by Mistresses, who have a competition for a photo shoot. 

  Just be sensible and find wigs that suit you and make you look gorgeous, which is what all of us want to be.
