Ive been a wearer for about a year and a half, im no expert but can successfully wear my hairpiece vomb back style exposing the front undetectably.
I always ordered chinese and the density was always great.
However ipon hearing the hype about a new superior korean piece at another site i jumped on the bandwagon because I always yearned for better ventilation.
The promise on the site is stock pieces ready for immediate shipping.
Superior ventilation and awesome piece second to none according to the hype.
So i dropped $255 to have one express shipped ovetseas to me,
I paid express because i needed one urgently and was promised to have it in 3-5 days.
It took almost 3 weeks to arrive.
I wasnt happy i paid express surchage for something that took longer yhan airmail but at least it did arrive.
My chinese piece had lasted 1 year but was falling apart, so i eagerly took the korean piece out and it looked somewhat sparse in density but ok initially
i proceeded to attach then cut it in anyways to see if it looked better wearing.
Thats when the piece started showing all its defects and shortcomings.
Really impossible to hide thick lace.
When the hair was cut to medium length the long frony hair that was covering front to back was cut to medium, then at yhat point the middle and sides of yje piece revealed a sparsity of hair only 45-50% coverage.
The piece was supposed to be 65%.
I took it off and saw how terribly sparse the thing really looked- i wad shocked
The piece was the worst looking I had ever seen.
The lace was extremely thick, no chance of it disappearing in any amount of glue and you could easily see the gridlines.
I applied not sealer to make sure shedding wouldnt occur however the piece shed frequently even with it.
So i emailed a certain well known individual about the problem and his response was thst he could get me a custom piece for another $175 all up.
2 weeks later i was furyher fistressef due to the increasing shedding and inability to hide the lace even aroynd tje sides due to soarseness of hair on yhe piece.
I had applied a second costing of knot sealer all to no avail.
I was realky teed off because the piece was really expensive considrring it was stock, it took weeks to arrive even tjoygh i paid thr extra money to have it fedexed to me.
And it wasnt what i ordered.
I ordered 65% 1b korean
I received a patchy 45-50% piece thst was falling apart brand new?
Also the hair had been dyed to 1 b from a sandy brown and along the back the dying was done so poorly that you could see the patches of undyed hair making it look splotchy, something unoticeable until the cutin.
I emailed the fella again and poted pics,
He agreed he he imnediately ship out a sgs 65% replacemt bh airmail.
That was 3 weeks ago, i emailef him again to check where the thing was...
No reply.
Im somewhat traumatised to go out now becsuse i have been busted so many times its no longer fun going out.
I became a wearer to regain confidence and look better.
I now look like bozo the balding clown due to yhat companys lack of QA and insincere custmer service.
I will order from toplace exclusively from now on, i regret not having stuck to toplace and trying out the korean piece from thst new site.
I recomend anyone considering a korean stock piece to forget about it, total waste of money.
Stick with a sure thing, stay with toplace.
I had a similar experience.. Got a Korean, and my density was not even enough to hide the lace on the edges. That lace can't hide anything under like 80% density. Luckily, I was able to wear it for a week, and just threw it in the trash.. Waste of time, and money. Problem is I had to wait 3 months to get that piece of trash.
IN fact, there were spots were it was like 40% density.. It was so thin that I had to use thickening styling products to try and help it just a little bit. Basically, it was trash, and the base was too thick to make it worth fixing b/c I can't wear a high density piece.
And to boot, the knot bleaching was weird/not good. Hard to explain, but it showed the dreaded knot grid pattern, but was at least a little faint, unlike some pieces.
Oh, and it shed too.. So, I'll NEVER order a Korean piece again, even if the problems have been fixed. I was not impressed about anything.
