Because we’re constantly adding the newest hair products to our extensive inventory, we do not offer a mail order catalog. If you are interested in manufacturers' catalogs, please let us know.

We boast among the industry’s largest inventory with over 100,000 items in our warehouse, so there’s a good chance we have your item is in stock and can ship the very day you place the order. If the item or items are not currently in stock in our warehouse, we can usually get them in within one to three business days. Occasionally, an item can be on backorder from the manufacturer for an extended period. If this is the case, we'll notify you of the status of your order and when you can expect to receive it.

Choosing the right color can be trickiest part of selecting a wig, especially when your only guide is a color chart viewed on your computer monitor.

If you have purchased wigs before, you may already know the exact color you want. But if you're choosing a color for the first time, please remember that color charts on your computer can never be 100% accurate.

You may want to consider ordering a Color Ring to help you choose the color that suits you best. A color ring consists of individual swatches of fiber in colors that the product comes in, and they cost between $10 and $130, depending on the manufacturer. Each manufacturer uses its own color system, so be sure to choose the color ring for the brand you're interested in. When you're finished with the color ring, feel free return it for full store credit.

Another option would be to send us a small hair sample and request the closest available color match. 

Many people call and ask us to choose a color for them. While our customer service representatives and licensed cosmetologists are among the best in the business, it can nearly impossible to choose the right color for someone over the phone. We will do our best to suggest colors that work best for you, but we can’t guarantee that our suggestions will end up being exactly what you want. Keep in mind: any time you order a color without first seeing it on a wig or color ring, you're taking a risk.
