UK Return Policy

At Wigs by Kirstie, I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Please read the following policy carefully before placing your order.

1. Refunds

I'm pleased to offer refunds on eligible ready-to-ship shop hairpieces, provided they are returned in their original, unworn condition, with packaging and lace intact.

In line with UK consumer protection law, customers have the right to return eligible items within 14 calendar days of receiving the order.

To help me process returns smoothly and prevent misuse, I kindly ask that customers notify me by email within 3 days of receipt if they intend to return an item. This is a request, not a condition of your right to return within 14 days.

2. Eligibility for Refunds

Eligible for Refund

Refunds are accepted on the following items:

  • Ready-to-Ship wigs
  • Ready-to-Ship toppers

To exercise your right to cancel, you must notify me within 14 calendar days of receiving your order. The item must then be returned within 14 days of notifying me.

Non-Refundable Items

Refunds are not accepted on:

  • Made-to-order wigs
  • Made-to-order toppers
  • Custom-made hairpieces created to a customer's specifications
  • Any item customised, altered or modified at the customer's request
  • Ready-to-ship pieces that have had haircut customisations
  • Ready-to-ship pieces where the lace has been cut
  • Discounted or sale items
  • Accessories including wig caps, brushes and other hygiene-related items

Made-to-order and custom pieces are created specifically to a customer's requirements and are therefore non-refundable and non-returnable once production has commenced. This includes pieces made to a customer's chosen colour, length, density, cap construction or other requested specifications.

Made-to-Order & Custom Pieces

Made-to-order and custom pieces are created specifically to a customer's requirements and are exempt from the standard 14-day cancellation period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Once production has commenced, these orders cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded.

3. Return Conditions

The hairpiece must be returned in its original condition, with the lace uncut and packaging intact. Customers may inspect and briefly try on a wig or topper as they would in a retail environment, however the item must not be worn beyond what is reasonably necessary to assess its suitability.

The hair must not be washed, cut, coloured, altered, or exposed to styling products, perfumes, smoke, or other odours.

Where a returned item requires cleaning, reconditioning, repackaging or other remedial work before it can be resold, an appropriate deduction may be made from the refund to reflect any reduction in value.

Returns showing signs of wear, damage, alteration, excessive handling, or use beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect the item may be refused or may be subject to a reduction in the refund amount.

4. Return Shipping & Tracking

  • Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility unless the item is faulty or incorrect.
  • A tracked shipping service is required, and tracking details must be emailed to: hello@wigsbykirstie.co.uk
  • Wigs by Kirstie is not responsible for return items lost in transit.

5. How to Return

  1. Notify me by email within 3 days of receiving your order (optional but appreciated)
  2. Ensure the item meets the return condition criteria
  3. Ship the wig using a tracked service, and send tracking details to my email
  4. Once received and inspected, I will process your refund.

6. Refund Processing

Once your return has been received and inspected, any approved refund will be issued to the original payment method.

Refunds are typically processed within 14 days of receiving the returned item.

Customers are responsible for the cost of returning items unless the item is faulty, damaged or supplied incorrectly.

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under UK consumer protection legislation.

International Shipping & Insurance
