My Ericdress Wig Review: a Total Nightmare Experience!

by Leave a Comment

Here’s the saga on my terrible Ericdress wig experience – from getting the terrible wig to writing this review.

Update: EricDress has responded back and requested that I take this review off in exchange for a no-ship back refund. I declined, and shipped the wig back to them, and promptly received a full refund back.

There’s now a video you can watch on this whole fiasco. Hooray!

If there’s one thing you should know about me, an angry and cheap Chinese person AND a drag queen — is that you do NOT mess with my wallet. And you definitely better not claim to have a high-quality lace front wig, when you’re going to send me… this. Oh yeah. I’m definitely writing a bad wig review now.

EricDress, From Bad to Worse

First of all, they never let me know when the package shipped out, and when I finally inquired two weeks later, making the wig late for several drag king videos – they were making excuses and trying to send me coupons to get me to not refund. So, I said fine, and I waited. The “wig” arrived two weeks later.

Apparently, Chinese companies aren’t above bald-faced lies apart from just the misrepresentation of their products. Here is their initial email responding back to me, and their “100% satisfaction” guarantee on their website.

Unfortunately, what happens after you submit a ticket and they gaslight you, asking for pictures of the “damage,” is that they’ll inform you that you’ll have to submit a return via tracking which will cost $60-70, making your return useless.

At this point, this is the part where hopefully you purchased with a credit card (that’s not Wells Fargo) or PayPal, in which you contact them and file a complaint and they’ll run you your money back. I know Chase also will get you your money back if it is on a debit card.

As someone that’s been buying wigs for years, I should have known better, but one night I decided I was tired of not buying drag king wigs and made an impulse purchase on my phone.

Let’s Talk Actually Good Wigs

So what’s the lesson here?

In general, synthetic wig prices tend to be priced around $35 to $50. Anything less than that is suspect, and anything more, you might be paying more than you need to. There are sites like Wigs and Grace that sell synthetic hair well in the $100s. But at that point, you are paying for hair density, special colors, customer service, and branding. If you really just need a straight black or blonde wig to style, you really don’t have to look farther than Amazon. (And yes, we all wear Amazon wigs.)

Any long (10 inches and up) human hair wig under $40 is guaranteed to be fake. $200 seems to be the starting price for a general lace-front human hair wig for me. There are ones for $90 – $200 on Amazon with mixed reviews and I can’t say I’ve tried them.

Here are some wig websites and brands that I can absolutely vouch for:

…And Let’s Talk Bad Wigs too

So here are two websites you absolutely need to steer away from.

  • EricDress.com
  • LunaWigs.com (I have a really funny story about these guys too, on the same video, skip to 6:50.)

Does writing a bad Ericdress wig review work?

Based on the reviews I’ve read prior, Ericdress seems unwilling to refund you for a bad wig or dress unless you somehow publically drag their name in the mud in a review. In the meantime, I’m going to sit tight and keep browsing wig websites and wait for them to bribe me with a coupon & a refund to take this blog post off. Oh, I won’t though.

I am a cutthroat bitch with my money. But only if you scam me.

So in short, what did we learn?

  1. Read through reviews and return policy very carefully.
  2. If you get scammed, make sure to write a bad Ericdress wig review or whatever to make sure they know you mean business.
  3. Know that they’ll bribe you to remove the review in exchange for a full refund (possibly without having to return the product.)

With all that said, happy shopping! Let me know if you have an Ericdress horror story to share as well. Or if you have another wig nightmare story? Or any positive experiences? I’d be curious to know!
