RPGSHOW? NOPE
Welp, I think I'm finally done with online Wig buying! RPGShow was my last go at this. I was suspicious since I could find NO product reviews on their own website and very few on FB, IG, YT, and TT. Most if any reviews from this company are from Wig Influencers, which are useless if you are looking for honesty.
About Me: I have had alopecia universalis for 45 years now. Back then there was No community, No online vendors because there was NO internet, and alopecia was also very, very rare. Wigs were worn by grandmas only. Local stores only sold synthetic wigs. Most of my wigs were custom from NYC/Brooklyn. On the average EUROPEAN hair and hiqh quality Human Hair wigs cost between $4.5k-$10k (1990s-2018). What this means is I only understood high quality wigs. Period!
I started buying wigs online during covid. I had no choice - there was a hair shortage, and by then my vendors had mostly ceased to exist. At this point, there are now fewer vendors who support custom, or near custom wigs. EU, and 100 HQ human hair has doubled in price $10k-$20k++!
I first shopped OL at OMGQUEEN.COM they were ok, but they dont have much variety. I then turned to Hairvivi, and wasted thousands and thousands of $mo on their garbage wigs and a plumber @$600. Mostly because I continued to be influenced by the influenecers. I then purchased two wigs from HairQueen LA @$1600 a unit. I found there shop whilst I was in Miami. The first wig was 6.5 score on my scale of 1-10. I ordered the same exact unit 6 months later via phone, and she arrived as a dry, frizzy mess - another $1600 - but this time in the toilette! My last attempt at OL wig shopping was RPGSHOW a month ago. I was impressed with their virtual try-on method. I searched for reviews, and could only find one from a WI for the unit I chose. I pulled the trigger, and quickly learned that there is only ONE CS person that engages with customers. So the response time is pitiful. I asked for photos prior to shipping the unit (OMGQueen thoughtful does this) but of course she took too long to respond so the order was shipped without my seeing the wig first. I'm suspicious that she just ignored my request. They also take at least 1.5+ weeks to ship orders because they seem to dye all their wigs based upon each order - no matter the color requested - which makes no sense to me. Why does Auburn Brown and Natural color both require a dye job. They also do not follow directions and included hair combs in the cap. What does an alopecia gurl have to do with wig combs? I specifically stated no combs. Lastly, they ship from China via FedEx which takes three times longer than DHL.
Finally, I received the wig, and immediately ran water through it to judge the hair quality without the styling. Because they dyed the wig the hair quality was like straw. I gently combed it and it immediately started to break! Cmon! I took photos, sent them to the only CS human that works there and waited. I was then forced to return the wig at my own expense. I have never incurred shipping costs for a wig return. Not ever! Between the shipping (including addl. insurance) it cost me $40 + Tariffs + $599 for inferior hair quality wig, that does not look to be auburn brown, and included hair combs. All in all - complete waste of time, and money!
But for the bangs, I was 💯 underwhelmed by RPGSHOW!
Nope!
Done!
