Anyone remember the review where the girl got the horribly mangled wig and shoddy customer service? TTLY not true u guise.

One of the worst run small businesses I have ever encountered- immature, gossipy, irresponsible, and frequently tactless, not to mention a bit greedy these days. Clean up your act GLW, before it all goes to hell.

>>4678674
I agree, the only reason they sell so much is because the brown nose beautiful/popular lolitas so much and use their pictures to promote their items. Who wouldn't want their picture to be used by a brand?


Well not me, if they use to sell stuff with it and don't pay me. They ask a LOT for their wigs, they don't live up to their quality and they don't even pay their models?

>>4678664
What the-

>>4678658
GLW's wigs are already horribly overpriced. Another $20? No thanks.

>>4678690
No but really, 75$ for a wig? I take 10!

*heavy sigh*

It's stuff like this that makes me miss the good ol' days when lolita was about emulating "natural beauty" - we didn't have these silly wigs to worry about.

They stole their ideas from MintyMix anyway.
It's time for a new, better and more affordable wig shop to rise and do justice to the western lolitas that do not wish to pay the prices of Cyperous wigs, but still want nice quality wigs with good customer service that does honest bussiness.

But that might never happen :(

>>4678664
I really want someone to reply with links to the reviews.

>>4678766
I can't find the reviews, are they deleted?

>>4678770
Just go on egl. The tag you want is "Review: wigs".

I haven't started wearing lolita until recently, but I liked reading GLB when I was younger and I remember something about how you should use your natural hair and limit makeup.

Then I start getting into lolita [years later] and most girls have crazy wigs and makeup.

>>4678977
Oh wow that's horrible.

I like how GLW just ignores it.

>>4679315
I had the same problem as Tracey. I bought a wig they claimed was heat-resistant - I used it on the very lowest heat setting, well under the heat range they told me. Fibers melted and GLW told me it was my fault and I must have been doing it wrong, lol

Arda offers split wigs and are honest to goodness high heat...

>>4678736
Non-lolita here, But I think natural hair looks better than wigs. I mean, if you have healthy hair, which probably all of you do, it looks better to me. Some wigs look really tacky, like those split wigs. I preffer it when you guys choose natural colored wigs like blondes, browns,etc. They look really cute. I've seen some lolis with colored wigs in public and they just look plain silly and they sometimes look like somekind of cute clown. Maybe because im kind of a normalfag who knows nothing about lolita. But I mean, it's just like..my opinion,man.
/rant

>>4679976
Lolita here. I agree with your opinion. I prefer seeing lolita with natural hair (or if you MUST wear a wig, a natural-colored one).

>implying heat resistant fibers will make their wigs any less shitty

>>4679651
seconding arda, they are much higher quality and you can use all hot tools on them.

>>4679976

I like split wigs in natural colors, like half brown, half light brown or blonde.

>>4679976

It seriously takes me hours to style my hair. I have really long, thick hair and to curl it to get those ~perfect natural waves~ that last all day in all temps and weather... it fucking sucks. Wearing a wig would be such a relief, honestly.

bought a wig from them, it frizzed after 4 wears, tried to gently comb it out and it totally poofed, no about of wig spray is helping D:

bampu for more horror stories

More evidence of their bad customer service? I've had an awful experience with them, but I'd rather see how they handled other people, or if I was just there on a "bad day."

I know none of you want to hear this on this toxic thread, but I've had nothing but great experiences with GLW. They're very courteous and if I have a concern, they address it. You guys bitch and moan and say go shop at Cyperous because their quality is so great, and now GLW is asking if you want the option of Japanese fibers and you're still not happy? Go ahead and pay $120 (with shipping) for cyperous and quit your bitching.

>>4682304

GLW? Is that you?

>>4682324
Wow it really does sound like them.

>>4682304

>MY GOOD EXPERIENCE RENDERS ALL YOUR BAD EXPERIENCES IRRELEVANT. SUCK IT UP, BITCHES.

This is the worst argument out there.

>>4682331
>ALL YOUR BAD EXPEDIENCES MEAN IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A GOOD ONE

Just saying.

>>4678658
remember how no wig on the planet, wheather it be $20 more or $2000 more than the cheap shit you guys are wearing will make you attractive?

>>4682344

No one here is saying that. But you can't invalidate all the bad experiences people have had by saying, "Oh I had no problems, you just need to stop complaining."

GLW has their issues but what is with Arda hyping their stuff to lolitas and on every thread? It really gets annoying and it's blatantly obvious. I've taken a look at their lolita wigs and they're hideous. Especially their blends.

I can tell they're pretty conceited just by how the respond to negative feedback.

>>4682365

Arda has kickass customer service.

I like Cyperous. They are normal looking wigs, but I'm not OTT or sweet so it works. Although people say i should just stick to my own hair which is pretty thick and long.

>>4682369

Thanks. Good to know Arda. *roll eyes*

>>4679976
>>4679987
I'm a lolita (and cosplayer) here who LOVES wigs and I just realized that I actually don't like all wigs with lolita

I have short, dark hair but I love sweet lolita and I feel like it doesn't fit and I look unbalanced, so I like to wear longer blonde or whatever natural color wigs, I even like pastel ones (like light pink or mint), but I also love hair that's been dyed that color.
Several girls at our most recent meet had really bright, weird colored wigs. They definitely weren't bad quality or anything, they just were... Off. And I just realized why I thought so.

/cgl/ you just made me realize something about myself, for that I thank you.

So, would anyone be interested in thick (we're talking two regular wigs combined here), wavy or straight Lolita friendly wigs for about $20 less than GLW but with higher shipping because it would come from Europe, where every wig is put together or styled by hand? Seriously considering doing this myself, I've had lessons in wig combining from my boyfriend who has to do so because his head is too big for any wig.

Can easily combine wigs, put in lace fronts, if I can upgrade to heat resistant wigs you could even throw in curls yourself.

>>4682392
care to share some links?

>>4682402
probably street level stores in china, RMB = chink dirt currency dumbfuck

>>4682408
Considering that the "chink dirt currency"/USD rates have hit a new high, you'd better get used to it because it's not going away anytime soon.

>>4682408
>Not knowing what Taobao is
>/cgl/ has a Taobao thread every 5 days or so

Oh summer.

>>4682377
>*rolls eyes*
Stop.

>>4682392 here, a couple popular shops.

Fantasysheep.taobao.com
Cckids.taobao.com
Phoenixiaoio.taobao.com

>>4682400
I, for one, would be totally interested and I'm positive plenty of other people would, too.

Not trying to whiteknight, but they're trying to say they're bringing a better product for more money. Their wigs are cheap as it is, so you get what you pay for. Paying more for a product that theoretically is better isn't much to bitch about.

However that's just a theory.

Also, they said "Deluxe version". I assume that means it'll be, you know, a version of their other wigs that's "deluxe". As in, they'll be selling them alongside their other wigs. As in, you can choose to pay $20 more for the small chance of a better product.

But again, theories.

>>4682469
Guess I'm going to have to get off my lazy butt then and work on combining my too-thin-GLW-quality wigs for example once I'm done using one for a Fluttershy tail.

>>4682478
Their shitty products are not worth the money. They'd better just make sure their current products are up to par. Their first line was great and worth the money, now? Not so much.

I'd rather wait how Chokelate's wig shop turns out.

>>4682478
>Their wigs are cheap as it is
Hate to break it to you, but this wig from the top looks exactly the same as a shoulderblade length wig I bought from eBay for a ridiculously low price while they sell it for $43.

>>4682482
Oh, hey. That gives me an idea. I might be able to team up with Chokelate if she's willing to and open up an online webstore for Lolita wigs.

There's one cosplay wig store in my country, but it takes a ridiculous amount of time with shipping because they only order from Taobao and only in giant groups. Plus, I think it ships at most to Belgium.

Of course, I'll just be updating the store and sending out wigs, she can order from her area/send them to me and be the face of the store so she's not too busy.

>>4682331
I bought from them once when they were just starting to be posted on /cgl/. Good wig, wearing it now. Then the bad reputation started. Was wary of buying again, but did anyways because I had money to burn and they're easy to buy from (I'm a fucking sucker for free shipping, even when I've bought a bad product). And...

Surprise surprise, it's also a good wig.

Now, not to say they're godly or anything. If you want a great wig, buy from Cyperous. But if you want something wearable that's not shiny with no hassle (in buying, I mean. The wigs frizz a little on the ends, but it's not the end of the world), then GLW seems to be the way to go. Looks better than Kammie's did.

>>4682491
Also meant to add.. Uh. Their customer service isn't the best. They don't answer certain questions, and others are answered kind of coldly. But they do their jobs, so I can't complain.

>>4682426
2 things i hate are commies and squints

now why would i want to get used to a squint commie?

>>4682484

Someone brought that bob up and they replied that it was taken off the mkt. as soon as they found out, but they only sell them for $31 not $43. Here was their reply: The bobs in question were removed from the market the moment we discovered that very pale fibers need a different technique. They weighed the same if not more than our other bobs, but pastels tend to be translucent and some of the wefts showed through.

I'm not white knighting, i'm just showing how they handled it.

>>4682511
Yes but was the person in question refunded?

>>4682545

I'm not sure what happened as it wasn't my wig.

>>4682501

I didn't know they had regular tripfags on /b/

Why the Hell would you girls buy from these guys in the first place? The wigs look super tacky and you can't even use heat tools on them and heat-resistant is common place nowadays. There are much better wig stores around with higher quality fibers. Why keep going back to these people!?

i got a snippy comment back from them the SECOND time i asked them about a restock on the himegyaru wigs,
The first time they ignored me so i had to reply again till they answered me and i got a snippy "no we will not restock the himegyaru, but please pay extra for the longer version and cut it yourself"

>>4682624
>and you can't even use heat tools

But... I did? And it turned out fine? Uh..

Man, you girls are really negative and give lolitas a bad name. I wanted to be a lolita because it seemed so dainty and ladylike, but you are a bunch of horrible, mean-spirited, and pathetic sheep who probably make a lot of us reconsider if we want to continue this lifestyle. If you really want to see how they treat their customers, go to their facebook page and see all their customers raving about their wigs and customer svc. Yeah, I'm sure you're going to say they're just blind, and all these beautiful girls who look gorgeous in their wigs look "tacky". And what's all this talk of cyperous? They sell normal looking wigs that you can find at your corner wig store. Why do you have to spend a $100 buying from Japan? Maybe you should get your fat asses away from spewing negative crap on the computer and visit your local wig shop. You girls keep spewing out the same shit over and over like they're Milanoo or something and they're totally not. And before you go accusing me of working for them, I most certainly do not. I just wish we as a community would start acting like refined ladies instead of trailer trash mean girls.

>>4682441

I've heard so much about Taobao and how a lot of you people like to use it but have no experience in purchasing from there myself due to it looking way too complicated for my simple mind. Could somebody give me the rundown or should I just stick to GLW and other stores that are more simple to order from?

>>4682745
Oh, fuck off with your gentlelady bullshit. Clothing means shit all, and people are going to have their personalities regardless of what they wear. Don't try to act like bitches who wear lolita should magically become sweet and demure. It's fibres and dye, just like any ordinary item of clothing, not unicorn hairs dipped in a rainbow.

I'm glad I'm not the only one they have been snippy to on FB. They don't come across as professional at all.

Also, they don't need to be getting all of these new wigs in. I mean, just look at their site. Almost everything is Out of Stock! They need to figure out what to do with what they have now, I don't trust them enough to ask them to get even more styles, and to somehow keep everything stocked.

>>4682745

HAH. Yeah, and you sound like a super lady-like girl, anon. Fail on your part.

>>4682745
Are you saying that writing a bad review makes you less ladylike?

>>4682745
Excuuuuuuuse me, princess. Lolita is not a lifestyle for all of us.

>>4682758

I kind of think everything being out of stock means that they're selling a lot? And they shouldn't restock because you just don't trust them? Kind of a warped logic, don't you think?

>>4682765

Or it means they never stock enough as is. I bought a wig from them once, and then days later got an email saying they were out of stock, and all other wigs I wanted after that were ALSO out of stock. It's just not very professional.

>>4682771
Are you me, anon?! I had the same thing happen!

>>4682745

I see where you're coming from but you're at the wrong place to be talking about being a lady. This is the place where photos are taken of our fellow lolitas and ripped to shreds, so don't ever upload anything less than flattering to the internet because it will be heavily judged on this page. That being said, you are probably better off on a page like Daily Lolita and you can talk about your outfits at tea parties. Here on 4chan, noone wants to hear it.

>customers raving about their wigs and customer svc
GLW deletes anything negative posted on their wall jsyk

>>4682745
You must be very new here.

>>4682745

I guarantee you will never find a wig up to par quality-wise with cyperous on a "corner wig store"

And in regards to your "lady-like" crap, yea this: >>4682757

>>4682753

taobaolove.livejournal.com

There should be some helpful posts there.

I know it can seem overwhelming at first, but really all it is is eBay in another language.

All you need is a good browser translator and you're good to go.

>>4682745
Did you see that even meow_tan, one of their "muses," commented on the negative review post that she was having problems with them?

>>4683194

The problem must have been resolved because they're doing hair tutorials together.

>>4683363
Lol that's funny, I hadn't seen that she went back to them. But still, just the amount of complaints I've seen...both here on cgl in past threads and in the comments on http://egl.livejournal.com/17358330.html.

Here is meow_tan's comment btw: http://egl.livejournal.com/17358330.html?thread=388759546#t388759546

>>4683375
totally off topic, but what's up with meowtan and charolette now?

>>4682745
>And before you go accusing me of working for them, I most certainly do not.

Then why is it that in EVERY thread we have about GLW the most aggressive whiteknights ALWAYS say something very similar to "Look at their facebook page's customer photos! Are you trying to say those gorgeous girls look bad?? Thousands of satisfied customers rave about their wonderful customer service and high-quality wigs!" I swear, it's the exact same fucking wording every time.

And now when I see GLW use the same wording it makes me a little skeptical. Recent example, pulled from their FB response to the price increase: "You can see from the customer photos on our wall that there are 1000s of satisfied customers w/very beautiful wigs." As well as them abbreviating "service" to svc all the time just like >>4682745 does...I don't see many people do that. Just sayin'.

>>4683472
Let me add that I wouldn't suspect they were GLW if this whiteknight was just posting once in one thread, but I have personally seen those comments with that same wording 5+ times now in different threads where the quality of GLW was questioned. That's what makes me suspicious.

>>4683472

I am not the other poster but i love GLW, they have simplified my life as a lolita tremendously and i love them for that. Their prices ARE very reasonable and they're very nice to their customers.

>>4683647

Simplified your lolita life 'tremendously'? really? Did they open a brand boutique near you? Did they give you a shitton of money or something? If bad quality, cheap wigs are a 'tremendous' part of your lolita life, I shudder to think of what your outfits look like.

>>4681899

I like those curly poof wigs, what color is it?

>>4683647

There's NOTHING reasonable about those prices, imo.

Seriously you can get a better quality wig for 1/3 of the price on taobao.

So uh..speaking of wigs..I have a question..

I really love the egyptian blunt cut style Lady GaGa used for her fame monster photo..do you think if it was black I could work that look into gothic somehow or would I be shunned for it?

>>4683647
I wasn't trying to say that everyone that has posted about a good experience is GLW, just that I think a specific aggressive anon with a particular typing style might be. I know many people that have had positive experiences with them and that's fine. It's just that they are not nice to all customers (though they are nice to some).

>>4683647
I don't think that 60$ is reasonable, at all.

>>4683815
me either. especially when it's so obvious they are buying their wigs from china and pumping up the price.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9215716829
(not necessarily this shop but these styles definite exist)

>>4683815
And with the heat-resistant ones, they'd be $80 now. :/

>>4683827
That's generally how bussinesses work though. You can't blame them for asking more for the wigs than they paid for. However the amount they are asking is too much for the quality they offer.

>>4683827
I didn't save the link because I wasn't interested in buying it, but I saw their "Split Pink and Blue Wavy Lolita" wig a while ago on taobao for under 20 bucks.

The first wig I bought from GLW was very disappointing. It was the chocolatte 1st gen and it has little hairs under the bangs that stick straight out towards the wearer's forehead, making it unbearably itchy. The color is nothing like the stock picture. The wig tangled VERY easily and lost a lot of its curl after I washed and conditioned it.

I bought a second wig from them out of necessity. I needed it for a con and I knew it was the only place I could order this particular type of wig from if I wanted to get it in time (it was one of the long bobs in milk tea x chocolate). It is so thin on the top that you can see right through it if you hold it up to the light. The wefts are clearly visible. There is also a piece of wefting in the top back that sticks straight up. I wore it for two days for about 10 hours per day and it got really tangled underneath. I'm never fucking buying from them again.

>>4683842
Yeah, ha, i realize that. That's what I mean about the price though.
Their target market is girls who know their way around asian sites, so you think they'd be a little more competitive with their prices.
Like if i was spending and extra 10 on top of what i'd be spending to order off taobao with ss fees. Then i'd consider it cause of [allegedly] less hassle.
But it's a lot more money with apparently also quite a bit of hassle.
so fuck that.

>>4683844
This is the one that I saw on taobao.

>>4683901
Herp derp I just realized that could be taken weirdly. I mean, it was the same wig that I saw. But the taobao store was using their own pictures, not GLW's pictures.

>>4683892
They shouldn't have to worry about that TOO much, if their wigs were of a quality such as Cyperous or Gabalnara. In my opinion it's going to be quite difficult to beat Taobao group order prices, because they probably have to buy the wigs in bulk, wich means that they are investing more money in them and there is a chance that the wigs don't sell, wich results in money loss.

That said, they should charge the normal price now for their premium wigs and a cheaper price for the wigs they offer now.

>>4683830

$80?

Jesus Christ, for that much money I would take my ass over to Gabalnara.

>>4684157
Fucking seconded.

>>4683865
Please don't tell me you washed and conditioned your synthetic wig with regular shampoo and conditioner...... No wonder why it lost it's curl if you conditioned it :/

I bought one of their early one-piece pigtail wigs in black back in October. I really wanted a long black one but they didn't have it yet and after asking countless times if they'd ever get one and being told 'I don't know', 'maybe', 'Probably not'. every single time I just gave in and bought the pigtail even though I did not want it (I just badly needed a black wig at the time). So two days later they put the the long curly wig up for sale. I was so pissed.

After one wear it was a tangled mess. I kept asking them for help and kept being redirected to their "help" thread on their discussion board, which was so incredibly lame and unhelpful.

So I decided to straighten the wig and recurl it to fix it. It straightened and now the damn thing won't curl no matter how high or low the settings on my curler are and no matter how long I let it set in curlers (put curlers in it for TWO WEEKS and when I took them out it was as if nothing had happened - and yes I sprayed them with water on a daily basis.)

I asked them over and over for help and was never given any, I think once they just told me to buy a new one. I even asked if I could send the wig back and have them recurl it (I would even pay) and they wouldn't help me.

I think they only help you if they find you to be a pretty lolita as I have never recieved any helpful responses for any of my questions except "Can I buy this?"

>>4684263
I followed a tutorial I found on EGL. It worked fine on my other wigs and they retained their style.

>>4684263
>>No wonder why it lost it's curl if you conditioned it :/

Anon, you need to shut the fuck up immediately. You also need to refrain from advising anyone on wig maintenance or repair at any point in the future, because you know NOTHING.

I mean that. Nothing.

Wig hair is plastic. Human shampoo cannot fuck it up. Human conditioner cannot fuck it up. Neither of them can penetrate the shaft or change its properties IN ANY WAY.

The list of things you can put on wig hair without causing any change at all could reach the moon and back. The list of things that WILL cause changes in wig fiber can be written on the back of your hand with a fat-tip Sharpie, and you can't get most of them. The stuff you can get smells awful and you wouldn't want to use it anyway: acetone, gasoline, and kerosene. Other than those things, heat and UV are pretty much it.

Wig shampoo and conditioner are overpriced rip-offs, completely unnecessary. To wash a wig you want a basic liquid soap: use any cheap dish soap. Conditioning a wig is a misuse of the term, since as previously noted your product will not be penetrating the plastic's surface. But you can find a product that will coat the plastic with a slippery compound, and for this you want something with silicone. Most human hair conditioners have it, but some don't. You want something that has plenty of silicone and none of the oils/moisturizers in human conditioner that are useless to your wig and will make it dull and clumpy. You want the can from the hardware store that says "SILICONE LUBRICANT SPRAY". That can and the dish soap will cost about as much as the shampoo and conditioner and they will actually work. Use them.

And remember that wig fiber is made out of plastic. Please. For the love of god, just remember that one thing. You are unqualified to tell anyone anything about wigs until you understand that.

>>4684420

>I even asked if I could send the wig back and have them recurl it (I would even pay) and they wouldn't help me.

So GLW just straight up turned down your money?

Woooooow

>>4684925
They still turn down people's money all the time, with acting super bitchy to people who try to ask about their "special commission" option. I don't understand why they keep it open when they NEVER actually do them and it just makes people endlessly frustrated. I think they should just remove that option completely and just say they're not going to do them anymore.

I bought the curly black wig from them, the one with the bob cut with the curly pigtails. I wore the bob base very frequently so after a few wears I washed it using liquid detergent. After it dried however it became super shiny. I'm not sure if it's because I used the detergent (which I don't think so because that's how I wash all my wigs, and the rest of them are fine) or if it's their fault, but my lovely bob base now looks incredibly shiny and fake. I've tried soaking in in vinegar and using talcum powder, but nothing i've tried will get rid of that shine.

>>4684925

Yup. I was surprised too. Get more surprised every day considering how money hungry they've gotten.

>>4685164
When I tried to get them to do a special comission for me, they asked for pictures of what I wanted so I gave them some (those two-tone wigs you can get from Priscilla or Cyperous). I got a message back asking for as many reference pics as possible, so I sent them more. They then told me they were going to put the wig into production so I could buy it later when they had them all made. They came out with the wig like 2 months later -_-

>>4685346
Ahhh, at least they actually did yours though I guess. :( They led my friend on for like 4 months and then abruptly were like "Oh never mind we decided we don't want to do this commission anymore, special orders are a hassle." Ugh. My friend never complained during the whole 4 months either, just sent polite messages asking about the status every now and then.

I ordered a Blended Strawberries and Creme wig about 5 months ago, and I'm still waiting for it. It's apparently still in the pre-order stage, even though it was in that state in February when I placed my order and they told me they'd have the wigs in mid-march.

>>4685825
Oh god, you've been waiting since February for your wig? That's so terrible. GLW needs to get their shit together, seriously.

Why aren't you girls posting about your experiences on egl?

>>4686107
Last time someone did that, GLW posted the review to Facebook and essentially called them a liar and let a bunch of idiots trash talk the girl.

>>4686134
That's terrible. Shouldn't they expect reviews. Geeze.

>>4686134
Wait, how did I never see that?

>>4686145
Dunno. They did eventually delete it.
>>4686141
They've deleted negative comments on their wall before, as well.

>>4686152
And no caps? I have them on my FB and generally see anything they post, so it's curious that I wouldn't see it, and that the caps haven't been reposted to /cgl/ over and over.

>>4686107
for fear of ridicule and whiteknights

>>4686160
Not anon you're replying to, but I remember GLW posting it on FB (I don't know if/when they deleted it though). I didn't think to take any caps, but it involved some people calling the reviewer an "entitled princess" etc. The person in this cap from today >>4678664 also references this event. There was a post on cgl back when it was happening too.

>>4684420
>I think they only help you if they find you to be a pretty lolita as I have never recieved any helpful responses for any of my questions except "Can I buy this?"


....This so very hard. It's so painfully obvious how biased they are. They only ever help the well known lolitas and shun or ignore everyone else. Part of me wants to build a name in the loli community for myself just so I can hand it to them publicly. But I'm not an OTT Sweet loli, so I would never catch their radar no matter how well known I became.

They approached me on Deviantart a while ago, despite not owning any of their wigs:

"I am with the company Gothic Lolita Wigs. We believe you have the qualities to be our “Deviation of the Day”! The way this works is that we choose an image that we think our friends and followers on facebook would enjoy and place that photo along with your Deviant Art username for a day in that album. This way many people can enjoy your photo as much as we enjoyed yours as well, and you will probably get a few new followers from our page! We have over 18,000 followers that could gain inspiration from your picture, and even give direction to people who are new to Lolita as well, or inspire our well-seasoned lolitas to your unique style. All you have to do is consent to us reposting one of your photos and we will place it in our que to be uploaded in the near future. Of course the choice is yours, and if you would like to decline, we understand. Please visit our facebook page and reply if you are interested! "

Yes, great that you want to promote yourself while cleverly disguising as someone else. No, I'm not interested.

>>4686677
I forgot that they did that.

Does anyone own the bob wigs that they released for the summer? I keep hearing that there's reviews about them being thin but I haven't seen any and I am in need of a blonde bob.

>>4686700

Here, save yourself a whole lot of money and trouble.

http://shop33700042.taobao.com/

You can email her directly with her order so you don't even need a shopping service.

>>4686300
Ah. Sorr,y I just get so suspicious of the he-said-she-said nonsense when evidence is supposedly deleted and somehow no one got caps. You know how it goes, caps or it didn't happen? Anyways, it doesn't really sound far off.

>>4686645
This. Charms gets good service. I'm a decent looking sweet lolita but not OTT and they only seem to answer me when I have a good profile pic with shooping and the works (Get all my questions answered with great politeness when I'm shooped. Get a cold answer after waiting a while and some questions unanswered when it's a candid shot with my friends.)

>>4687191
they only helped me after I named dropped a person they knew. after exchanging several messages with them, they still only acknowledge me occasionally

>"Ayu Jochuu I think they are already fine the way they are but even if you give it better quality, there are always some dumb people that will ruin it no matter how good the quality is. Never had any issues with my straightener and one of your wigs I got from a friend thought, I even could use 130°C without any damage but some people just use the straightener to slow so it melts. <_<"

But a girl melted her wig fibers at 120°C...

If it was really heat resistant like the claimed, would it really melt? Even if you went through your wig slowly? That doesn't make sense to me if it's heat resistant, but then again, I don't style my wigs.

>>4687292
You don't even need to go up to 120 degrees celsius to style a wig, 90 degrees is fine. Some people are so stupid.

>>4687301
Okay, but if a wig was "heat resistant" and that was within the range... is it supposed to melt the wig? I apologize if my question is not clear.

>>4687311
No, that just means that GLW were lying dicks.

why do they mention that the fibers are from japan? does ~coming from japan~ make everything better?

>>4687454

OH SHIT! Good find, anon!

The fuck?! Girl should have stood up for herself

>>4687454
Idunno, it didn't look like they were starting any shit. Looked like they were just trying to save face in the presence of an awful review. Not the company' fault that their FB fans are fucking idiots.

>>4687765

No, trust me. They only posted that because they knew their fans would go crazy. The person who controls the GLW facebook is super immature and knew exactly what they were doing. Trust me.

>>4687181

I've never ordered anything from Taobao before so excuse me if question is stupid but is the shipping really expensive? The prices of these wigs seem almost too good to be true so I'm expecting the shipping to be a crazy amount. I tried navigating through the website to find out the shipping costs but it seems it only says how much shipping is to "mainland china" Hong Kong and Taiwan.

>>4687815

Nope, she lets you use registered airmail and it's not bad at all. If you email her she'll give you a quote.

Slgihtly off topic, but since I saw some posts about wig care..

how can I make my wig less shiney?

>>4687992
Powder the wig and brush it out to evenly distribute the powder. There are "wig powders", but cornflour works just as well.

>>4687765
If they weren't trying to start shit, they would have posted as soon as people started insulting the girl saying "please keep it civil, we are not trying to insult our customer, we're simply trying to explain what happened." But they didn't.

does anyone have any links to split wigs on Taobao? someone posted the pink/blue split and said they'd seen it on Taobao but didn't have the link. Excuse my ignorance, I just can't figure out how to search on there. I like the style and if GLW is just buying from China anyway, I might as well save a couple bucks and cut out the middle man.

>>4688007

I *think* Fantasy Sheep may have it. They use the english word Lolita.

If that fails then the chinese characters for split/two tone wig is 双色 假发

>>4688007

Also, to search you... use the search bar at the top? I'm not sure how else to explain that haha.

s.taobao.com (search page, if that makes it easier)

>>4688030
>one of the search results using those characters
I almost actually want to see someone use this wig in a coordinate.

>>4688034
haha thanks, I know I sound retarded, I just didn't know if you had to search in a different language or not. it's intimidating!

>>4688056

>>4688061

Oh, I know, it definitely is until you realize it's basically just eBay with 1000000 times more flash.

Then it's not so scary.

>>4688093
I found this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10893526550 which appears to be GLW's pink and blue blend for, if I've done the conversion correctly, $8.00. Holy FUCK. I'm just trying to figure out how to purchase it. $8 I might as fucking well, even with shipping it'll still be a good $20 cheaper than GLW at least.I just wish I could find some actual splits in that style.

bump for justice. I want that taobao wig too
HELP BUYING IT

>>4688111

Yep. Once I found taobao I was like JESUS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE.

All you need is a shopping service. Unless you see something on the homepage (in English) that says you can email the shop owner directly to place an order internationally.

Here are a few:

taobaospree
taobaofocus
pruany (their service fee is only 8% :3 )
taobaonow

There's also a taobao LJ comm

taobaolove.livejournal.com

You can also use airmail rather than EMS, that should help cut costs, especially if you're only getting one or two things.

>>4688157
THANKS ANON. What service would you suggest?

>>4688192

I've used both taobaospree and pruany, they're both good. Taobaospree did become overwhelmed with a huge order I had and declined to process it, and pruany took it over.

They're both good. Pruany has a cheaper fee, and if you add them to your msn they are usually always online and respond right away. It's really just a matter of preference and if you care about the 2% fee difference.

That's the reason this country is going to shit. Do you realize when you buy from Chinese sellers to save $5 that ALL your money goes to China and fuels their ever growing power. Buy from a USA seller and keep most of that money here to help our dismal economy. There are plenty of US sellers to choose from, take your pick.

>>4688202
the US seller charges almost double for a shit product.

>>4688202
>implying I don't make it an effort to buy from quality US sellers even when it costs more
>implying pity buying from shitty US sellers doesn't make a mockery of the whole BUY AMERICA thing

>>4688202

As if US seller's don't fuel the Chinese economy by buying their products to re-sell at ridiculous prices in the first place.

el oh el.

My last Taobao order had over 200 items on it.

I paid less than a dollar for each one.

Had I bought all those items in the US I would have paid close to a thousand, probably.

:3

>>4688201
did some quick googling/poking around the LJ comm, decided to go with Pruany. I made an account, filled out their form and now I'm just waiting for them to get back to me! You've been a huge help, anon, thank you so much. I'd always been kind of interested in that wig, but not $60 interested, shit.

>Been buying wigs from GLW since they opened.
>Not really posting pics because showing off is just not my thing.
>Considered a "valued customer" by GLW
>See their 3 styles in 1 wig image, see a girl commenting about whether or not you can restore the wig from backcombed state to curled state.
>Another says no, all synthetic wigs will stay like that, you can't restore.
>I chime in and say you can do that to Cyperous wigs.
>Comment is deleted. Am told again that QUOTE" you're a valued customer and are welcome to praise Cyperous all you want, but our wall is not the place for it."
>I comment on the image again saying my comment was unfairly deleted, I wanted folk to know what they were paying for.
>Comment is deleted.
>Receive this message from GLW "We thought it was a reasonable request that you not praise Cyperous on our page, but apparently you think it's OK to promote a competitor on our page. We have been most cordial with you but you are constantly trying to stir up conflict on our page. As of this moment, you have been banned from our page."
>How nice.

>>4688253

No problem!

If anyone has any other questions I'll see what I can do.

>>4688292
Oh, and "constantly trying to stir up conflict on our page" = calling them out on false advertisement. Like that lavender and pink wig, which is not at all the soft lavender and soft pink that they picture on their website but a hot salmon pink that doesn't work very well with lolita.

>>4688292
...wow. Can we get a cap of that message? I think people should start documenting these bitch ass messages they like to send people.

>>4688292

If you were continuously promoting a competitor on my business page, not that i sell anything, and you didn't listen to my requests to stop, i would have banned you too.

>>4688308
>>4688292
I remember you! You posted that picture saying something like "buyer beware - this is what the wig actually looks like" right? I saw your comment on the sale wig thing as well. Goddamn.That's not stirring up drama, that's just being real.

Seriously cgl - what do we know about the people behind GLW? Surely their "muses" or whatever could put a name to at least one face behind that facebook page? it's just weird that it's such a nameless faceless company and nobody knows anything about anyone behind it. Someone's got to know who's running it.

>>4688325
>continuously promoting a competitor
>mentioning Cyperous once
>complaining about comment being deleted once
>OMG THE CONSTANT ABUSE

lol okay

>>4688325

She wasn't promoting from what I can tell.

She was trying to clear up a misconception with an example and GLW overreacted.

I am tempted to cap some of these stories and tag GLW in them on facebook.

>>4688292

Oh no, I think I know who you are. I'm surprised they didn't ban you months ago.

>>4688314
here you go.

>>4688355

They sounded very professional and reasonable in their request. What made you think it was OK to promote Cyperous on their page?

>>4688325
I saw what she had written- she wasn't promoting. She was telling people that if you want to go with something that allows you to switch from one style to another, GLW wigs are not for you. Cyperous was a suggestion.

>>4688386

Hate to jump into you discussion here, but that is promoting another company if I've ever seen it.

>>4688380

>>cyperous is mentioned.
>>asked to refrain from commenting.
>>posts publicly about comment being deleted
>>banned
>>VERY PROFESSIONAL

>>4688393

What about that post was promoting? Please elaborate because I, and most others it seems, don't see it.

She mentioned another company ONCE without telling people to go buy from them, she was passing along information.

>>4688393
So I was in the wrong for suggesting to another girl that she should go elsewhere for what she wanted to do.
Whatever, take it or leave it. Sharing my experiences with GLW since that was asked in the thread. I'm done with GLW.

>>4688386
They sure do seem pretty scared of losing business to Cyperous, even though you can "easily get Cyperous wigs at your corner wig store"

>>4688399

Are you Elerronyar? If it is, you've been bashing them forever and kept telling everyone their wigs are great for cosplay and not lolita for months. And posting "Buyer Beware" on their page because you didn't like the color? There are better ways to resolve issues than posting it on their page. Have you ever thought about sending them a private message since this is your personal issue? I agree with the others that you should have been banned months ago.

>>4688421

>>buying wigs from them forever
>>posting a pic of wig that is very obviously NOT what was pictured
>>Definitely grounds to ban months ago

>>4688421

Did you know Gothic Lolita Wigs is part of the umbrella company Cosplay Wigs USA?

>their wigs are great for cosplay and not lolita for months
>cosplay and not lolita
>COSPLAY

You lolitas are so damn stupid.

>>4688421
You seem like the type of person to cry foul when someone posts a public review on EGL of someone's bad service.

"You can message them privately!!! It ruins business!!"

>>4688421
If the color wig she got was significantly different than pictured, then she does have a right to let other people know, so they won't be misled. That doesn't really sound like a personal problem to me, it sounds like a problem with the wigs.

>4688325
>4688347
>4688380
>4688393
>4688421

GLW, is that you? Or one of the o-so-holy muses?

>

>>4688421
hai glw

>>4688452

I have never cried foul for a bad review on EGL, but this board trashes anyone who says they had a good experience and base their "terrible quality" off one bad review. I read that review and the girl got an extra wig out of it. So anyone who says they had a good or even great experience is a Whiteknight or GLW themselves? You girls should do your research. And that girl you're defending for getting banned is one of the meanest lolitas you'll ever come across.

>>4688466
She got an extra, thin wig that looked terrible and wasn't the promised color. Whooop-de-doo.

Oho, so you're saying that people shouldn't base their opinion on one (or two, or three, or however many GLW covers up and denies has happened) review --- but that if someone has a bad experience, if they're a bitch outside of the situation, it doesn't count?

>>4688466

Not the person you are replying to, but if you come into a thread where people are venting about bad experiences with GLW and say, "Oh I had such a WONDERFUL experience, they are perfect you guys just need to be more understanding blah blah blah" what the heck do you expect people to think?

>>4688466

>one of the meanest lolitas

gurl, she doesn't come close to the two most powerful muses of GLW.

that purple and pink wig people are mentioning that is a different color....see for yourself

pics from sales comm.

<~ here is what GLW advertises

<~ the true color of that wig

>>4688528

ooooo that's ugly....

>>4688292
I remember your comment and I don't think you were promoting at all.

I'm taking >>4683472 >>4683491 a bit more seriously now lol

>>4688474
Plus didn't she say that the reason they let her keep the extra crappy wig was because she lived in the UK and for GLW to pay for shipping cost back to them was like the same cost as the wig?

>>4688528

Looks pretty nice to me. Did you try it on? I have one of their blends and it looks darker in the package. When it's shaken out like all new wigs should be once they're removed from the package, it softens up the color tremendously and takes on a fuller appearance.

>>4688393
>>4688380
>>4688347
>I know who you are
Obviously, you must work for GLW.
Wow...just stop. Professionals know how to take a bad review and learn from it. Obviously you haven't and the fact that you have stooped so low as to deleting and blocking people to protect your "oh so perfect customer service" is pathetic. No buisness is perfect.
Take a bad review and learn from it. Shipping takes forever? maybe you should hire people to help with getting the packaging out, don't you think? Then with faster shipping you'd get better reviews of that. Quality, if you were making your own wigs you could work on but it seems you're not so you can't control that. Those reviews are based on personal preference of the lolita/cosplayer.
I personally have been debating buying the mint/cream blend (which keeps selling out) but if this is how you deal with customer problems, shipping, bad reviews...Hell no.
Grow up.

>>4688638
We know it's you GLW. C'mon now.

I wonder how long it takes for Chokelate's wig store to go down the same path as GLW is going right now... There is something about western brands in Lolita fashion (be it jewellery, clothing or wigs), that always ends up not working out at all and failing miserably.

>>4688694

Nope, i don't work for glw, i just am stating my opinion. Is that against the law? And it's pretty obvious it was Ellerronayar since she's the one that posted the "buyer beware" grand statement on their page because she didn't like the color.

cyperous is way more expensive. I don't see how it's promoting since it's bascially, "if you want to pay the extra money, this brand is capable of that."
I mean of course a more expensive wig can do more with styling /derp

>>4688719
I wonder if it's because most of these businesses are run by those in their late teens/early twenties that have no fucking idea of what they're doing. Who runs GLW, anyway?

>>4688721
I saw the comments she made. None of them were out of line. It is not OMG HORRIBLE to point out that their colors are not true to the pictures, or that other wigs will be able to be reset.

You must either work for them or are one of their oh-so-highly-regarded ~*~discount coupon getting models~*~ to whiteknight them like this.

I had a fucking terrible experience. I bought a wig, after day 4 of wearing it, it started to knot. I found 3 knots (it's not like I mistreated this wig either), went home, tried to brush them out, the wig immedietly frizzed. Freaking horrible. I put in wig oil and tried to get it to relax, but it won't budge at all. It even developed more knots just from a gentle brushing. I sent in a question on how to maintain it, or maybe it was a problem with the wig. Very gently worded, and have been totally ignored!
So I looked up tutorials on de-frizzing wigs, turns out I have to use a conditioning spray and an iron. Use spray, iron on the lowest setting, the ends I tested it on melted. Not as advertised, way too expensive for only 4 wears, and shit customer service, will never buy from them again.

>>4688745
Do you have any pictures?

>>4688735
I cant help but think GLW is run by an OTT Sweet Lolita who may or may not have been well known and was bitchy before they were in charge of GLW.

>>4688776
I don't think so, because why wouldn't they use pictures of themselves to bolster their brand? Also, they have posted really tacky and weird photoshoots labeled "lolita" before so I doubt they are actually lolitas...they started as a cosplay brand and then branched out into lolita.

>>4688735
I think you're right, and when they're doing better than they expect they go in freak mode and don't know what do. I think especially of Crux here.

>their faces when

>>4688792
I dont think the person(s) in charge of the cosplay section are also in charge of the lolita section. I think it changed at some point. And still, just because that person may be or is a lolita doesn't mean they are a very good one.

>>4688745
>>4688763
I can take some. I even asked them if I could wear it day to day as a fashion wig, and they said I could. It knotted seirously after only day 3 (first big knot) then day four I had 2 big knotts by the end of the day. Obviously it was made for light wear, especially since it couldn't even handle brushing. I can see what they mean by cosplay wig, only worn for the costume and not fashion use. but they should have told me that when I bought it and not lied about the heat or about it's style staying power. Ugh, and not even responding to a customer complaint to even give me a tip on de-frizz or repair pisses me off too

>>4688814

I don't know if that's their problem. That's the nature of synthetic wigs. They tangle if not taken care of regardless of how much you paid for it. You have to take care of them. That's why there are whole threads on here about how to do so.

>>4688834

You may want to read the original post again.

Also the fact that GLW lied about the heat resistance AND ignored her emails is ridiculous.

>>4688834
You have to read whole comments before you respond to them, too.

>>4688834
LOL WAT. I'm not the anon you're responding to but no, this isn't about "the nature of synthetic wigs". I have synthetic wigs from Cyperous and Gabalnara that I have worn for daily use and they have held up just fine. My Cyperous & Gabalnara wigs have been curled, straightened, brushed many many times and they are fine even after 20+ wears. My GLW wig turned into a tangled mess after the 2nd day.
I know how to take care of wigs.

The anon you're responding to even said in her comment here >>4688745 all the different things she tried to de-frizz her wig (which she DID look up). Stop being a condescending douche.

Is it possible to brush a wig too much and cause the hairs to fall out, or if my wig is shedding does that mean it's just bad quality?

>>4678658
Sure, especially if you offered a wider variety of colors and styles than GLW has... I would KILL for their default wig style in a natural redhead red, for example.

>>4679987
Lolita is awesome with natural hair!
But I have really frizzy hair that doesn't hold styles well unless the weather is PERFECT and I get the exact right ratio of hairspray and product, so I use wigs a lot.

I really like the look of natural colored ponytail falls as pigtails, but it's hard to find a match for my natural color.

>>4688963
A little of both I think. Like if you're brushing it a LOT even if it's good quality, a few hairs will probably fall out (think about how when you brush your own hair some hairs fall out too). But if it's a ridiculous amount of shedding, then it's probably a bad quality wig.

>>4688995
Since your hair is frizzy I assume it's naturally curly or wavy? (I could be wrong) If so, maybe you could accentuate your natural curl/wave. Leave in some conditioner and maybe a curling product?

GLW sells their wigs for $20-$30 to their models/muses. I have this on good authority.

My favorite muse is Ciara.

>>4689022
It's sort of... wavy in some places, and loose ringlets in others. But even when I do that, the best I can hope for when styling my hair is a cute "messy uneven curls" look... it looks cute with my normal clothes, but not so much with lolita. And even with great products, on days with precipitation and high humidity, my hair is a nightmare.

>>4689094
She looks better without those circle lenses, but other than that she's really cute.

>>4689034
You supposedly become a muse if you buy 5 wigs or more. But this does not apply to everyone for some reason.
Interesting, no?

>>4688415
Uhm, saying that one wig company's wigs can do what their wigs can't is promoting the other company's wigs and subconsiously tells people to buy them because based on the example given, their wigs are better (and they are). That's promoting. And they told her to stop, and then she made a stink of it, so they likely banned her so she'd stop making a stink of it.

>>4688998
I brush it when I wear it, and I've worn it about 5 or 6 times? It's a lot of hairs coming off. The whole time I'm wearing it, I'm pulling about 4-5 hairs off of me every few minutes. So I'm thinking that's a quality issue. No more GLW wigs for me I guess!

I think this should be archived so there's a record of all these experiences.

http://chanarchive.org/requests

>>4678658

>>4689198
a friend of mine bought 5 wigs from them and posted on their wall excitedly asking if she could be a muse now.

They ignored her. Guess she wasn't tiny, cute or shooped enough.

>>4689309
LOL That's funny considering when they started the muse thing they stated that "anyone" who owns 5 wigs or more gets a muse page

I had just assumed that only a small percentage of people actually bothered to buy from them more than once, much less 5 times and that's why there is so few. Now I have my answer.

>>4689280
I made the last vote. It's archived.

>>4689326

I think anyone can have a muse album, but i think being their next "Ciara" is another story. I actually know a girl who has about 8 of their wigs and was asked if she wanted a muse album and she declined because she didn't want to be ridiculed on this board. I think some girls just don't want to put themselves out there.

>>4689376
Yeah, but what about the people who have more than 5 wigs and ask to have a muse album and are ignored/rejected? Not everyone can have one, obviously. Just the people they deem "worthy"

>>4689236
One of the girls in my local comm has a GLW wig that sheds like crazy, and she had to take her cat to the emergency room because the cat managed to eat some of the hairs that fell off.

>>4689460
D: That's horrible! I hope her cat is okay!

>>4689455

Do you have proof that someone was rejected from having a muse album? I highly doubt it because that would be really bad publicity.

>>4689476
Ask >>4689309
And it's only bad if that person makes a deal out of it. Obviously they don't care much about bad publicity since they put out bad wigs and shitty attitudes.

>>4689469
Yeah, she says her cat ended up shitting it out but she's afraid to wear the wig anymore.

I like how their whiteknights call everyone dumb.

>>4690501

They're the ones paying $50/$60 for wigs that fall apart, repeatedly, and everyone *else* is dumb.

haha, wow.

>>4689476
It's not that they outright say you're rejected; you just never hear back from them. I have nine wigs from them and I wrote them an email asking about being a muse and got no response (just like >>4689309's friend, except they posted on FB wall and I emailed instead). GLW would probably just claim they never received my email and never saw her post. Dunno, I think it's pretty rude to say "anyone" can be a muse if they spend enough money with GLW and then end up ignoring some people and not others.

>>4690844
You should post on their facebook and see what happens. I see them use that excuse a lot "We never got your email, sorry."

>>4690832
not only that, but for super shiney wigs.

>>4683901
is this it ?? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9305758499

I've reviewed their wigs several times before stating they need to fix the shedding. The shedding is constant and even gentle brushing will cause fibers to fall out.
I've also discussed the hime wig series as not being true to color and that I was upset. They ignored it and said "OH BUT THE COLOR LOOKS GOOD ON YOU."
I don't give a flying fuck if it looks good on a fluke, it's not the color I was expecting at all.
>It was blonde not brown.

>>4690939
Blonde not brown? Pics?
I bought one of theirs and the color was off...it was like...chestnut as opposed to dark brown like they stated, but atleast the color was in the same general area. They are getting more and more annoying.

>>4690882
No, the one I saw was the exact same as GLW's. That one is dark purple instead of blue. I'll look again for it! I like the one you found though, it's a pretty color.

>>4690977
I ordered the brown hime wig, and got this instead.
I have darker skin tone so naturally, this isn't gonna work out so well as far as color mistakes go.

>>4690977
Dropped my pic.

But it's blonde. Even if it's in my opinion, it's not a light brown at all.

about the promoting cyperous thing, yeah I guess it's not good to promote them directly on their page but honestly, if they're wigs are as good as they claim them to be, they should be confident enough in their product that their customers won't turn to another product.

and coming from a lolita who has never ordered from GLW but was considering it, I don't care if "just because there are alot bad reviews doesn't mean that you're gonna have a bad experience with them GOSHH!!1!!!" haven't you ever heard of probability?

if pretty much 80% of their customers have had not only terrible customer service but shitty wigs as well, the chance that I will get a bum wig/rude messages is HUGE.

I'm not going to risk my money and sanity on chances like that.

>>4691112
Yeah, that's definitely blonde, not brown. Not even a light brown. Just blonde.

>>4691306
Exactly this. I hate their whiteknights.

Pretty sure the muses get their wigs for free, at least I think that's what I heard. Also, I know of a long term muse who has had a lot of trouble with the rude manager of the FB page. He/She is super immature.

Wait, I must have missed something here. I own more than 5 wigs from them... so I can be a GLW Muse now?

>>4691525
Post a comment on their facebook wall and see what they say.

>>4691306
As someone who frequently gets called a GLW whiteknight, it's not about probability to me at all. It's that people are discrediting my personal experience by saying that I'm lying, hired by GLW, or whathaveyou. I know this thing sitting on my head right now isn't the holy grail of all wigs, but it ain't a pile of shit either. People are acting like these are the same quality as party city wigs or some shit. Overreacting. Sure, their customer service is pretty shitty, but I can't remember the last time I had particularly good customer service experience with anyone these days (even outside of lolita) so I'm not all that shocked.

TL;DR I think /cgl/ is overreacting on this.

>>4691545

I would, but with all this talk of how they turn people down, and how rude they are? Hell no, I'm not about to get my self-esteem shot down.

>>4691561
when im paying a shit ton of money for a wig, i better get some damn good costumer service! and YES it is about the Service, why do you think there are sites that review stores and why you can ate people on Ebay. No one wants to buy from assholes.

>>4691566
From my understanding they won't even reply to you. If I had more wigs I would post just for shits (and mostly to prove that they ignore you) but I wouldn't feel my esteem being shot down in any moment when dealing with them.

>>4691574
ALSO, Cosplay.com has some of the most retard service i have EVER come across online, and because of this i stopped (not just me but ALL of my friends) have stopped buying from them. Sure they have some of the best wigs, but they are such assholes its not even worth it.

>>4691582
yeah I guess you and a lot of other people because their selection has gone down a lot, and I think they might be closing (if they havent already)

>>4691590

Learn your facts, kid. They aren't working with the makers of their cosplay.com wigline anymore, that's why they're only selling the Sepia brand right now. They claim they'll have more selection soon. I wonder what happened with that wig company...

sage for no GLW dramu

Does anyone with access to a lead testing tool analyze the GLW wigs for lead content in the fibers? If it happens to be made in mainland china fibers, there could be lead content in it.

If there is lead content, then the Federal Trade Commission should be contacted so that they can send a request to GLW to perform a voluntary recall or if they don't volunteer to do it, the FTC will then issue a recall itself.

>>4691632
Seriously, I said "I think" I was making an assumption, no need to be rude when I obviously stated that I THINK

I've never bought from GLW myself, but I have a friend who does and she has one of the hime wigs; the light blonde one. I've borrowed it and worn it multiple times without trouble, so I guess their hime wigs are safe when it comes to quality? It's not the most amazing wig in the world but I like it.
I'd like it a lot more if it was cheaper and I could buy one myself.

>>4691112
Speaking of which, what color is this listed as? I think it's awful that the color is wrong, but I really like how it looks in this pic.

Also the friend I'm borrowing the wig from got an offer to be a GLW muse, she also placed in the second round of their "like" contest if that has anything to do with it.
She's also super tiny (both thin and short), has brand, and is completely adorable.

>>4691787
This wig was listed as a light brown hime wig. Considering that their typical light brown really is kind of a light auburn-y brown, I was expecting that. Not this creamy blonde color. :\

>>4691574
>a shit ton of money

If $40-$50 is a shit ton of money, I guess my closet full of Bodyline makes me one rich bitch...

>>4692071
For a low quality wig.
$50 for a hairpin is a shitton of money, but if you get a Ferrari for $50 it's really fucking cheap, if you can't understand a basic principle of that, then good luck in real life.

>>4692146
For a good quality wig.

I wouldn't pay $50 for a Party City wig. These are not party city wigs.

>>4692150
Yeah, if they were good quality wigs and they had good customer service then 50$ would be reasonable for sure. However, after reading all the experiences, it's pretty sure that their wigs USED to be good, now not so much and they are only nice to pretty girls. That's hardly good customer service. So 50$ for a crappy, non heat resistant wig, paired with horrible customer service and month long delays... yep that's a shit ton of money.

>>4692158

>if they were good quality wigs and they had good customer service then 50$ would be reasonable for sure

THIS

Especially considering they primarily get their wigs from taobao anyway for $10 a piece.

Holy shit, I went to college with the girl they're using as their model.

Sage for irrelevence.

>>4692249
who are you? because i go to college with her right now lol

Yea people need to see these stories, so bump

Under Ciara's photo that they just posted reads, "♥ All customers with 5 or more wigs from us will be given the option to have their own "GLW Muse" album to showcase the wigs. If shots are of high quality, they will considered for future collaborative shoots. ♥"

So they don't deny you the right to an album and do give you your moment to shine. But you guys should realize they're doing this as an appreciation to their customers and not an obligation to turn everyone who buys 5 wigs into a model. Hell, when i buy 5 lipsticks from Estee Lauder, I don't expect to be in their next Vogue campaign.

>>4692610
Funny how people were talking about it here and suddenly they add a clause to it.

>>4692610
That's not really the point. I don't think everyone who owns five wigs or more intends to become a model, but when they say that anyone who does own five wigs or more is allowed a muse album, and they ignore the person(s) who ask to have one, then, no, not everyone can have one.

>>4692613
This exactly, they only just started saying the "If shots are of high quality, they will considered for future collaborative shoots. ♥"
part

>>4692613

That clause has been there for awhile now. That's their stock answer when people ask how to become a muse.

>>4692619

I think high quality to be considered for collab. shoots is an incentive to get these girls to care what they're submitting since they do post it on their wall and all their fans will see it.

>>4692620
uh, no. I just went back to 10 March posting of Tempest which they clearly state "
♥ Customers w/5 or more of our wigs will be given the option of their own "GLW Muse" album ♥"

>>4692628

They do use Ciara the most so they might have thought the message would get out there. And what does having a muse album mean anyway. Some of the muses turn in crap photos, and you can tell, they still post them. And not all are beautiful.

>>4692610
...That wasn't there before. I was reading this thread last night and when I read >>4689309 and >>4690844's posts, I went to go check the rules for being a muse since I didn't remember what they were exactly. Last night, all it said was "Customers with 5 or more of our wigs will be given the option of their own "GLW Muse" album." I would've capped it but I didn't think I would need to.

I swear, there was no second sentence about the shots being high quality. Proof that GLW is posting here Y/Y?

>>4692628

What are you guys not understanding? muse album does not mean you become their spokesmodel.

>>4692641

They have been posting "quality photos" to be considered for collaboration for awhile now. Read their board on everyone asking about it. I would imagine they want everyone to be a muse. That means they sell more wigs.

>>4692641
Y

>>4692648
no one here said that, simply that if they say that you own five wigs and can have your own album, then they should stand by that. I certainly do not think--nor do many people here, I'm sure--that anyone with a muse album will automatically be a model, HOWEVER it seems that they only give it to people they do want to be a model. My impression of a muse album when they first started was simply to show off different ways to wear their wigs and satisfied customers, not anything about modeling.

>>4692660

I still have a hard time believing that anyone was ignored or rejected form having a muse album. They post customer pics all the time. And they're NOT all skinny porcelain dolls.

>>4692641
I got it.

>>4692666
That doesn't mean people have not been ignored by them. I was ignored several times before (but for different reasons) I would not put it past them to ignore an email/pm about having a muse.

At any rate, I just looked at their muse albums, and I hope you are not suggesting that any of their girls are fat, because known of them are. Nor are any of them ugly. I don't recall anyone saying they all have porcelain skin (I could be wrong, maybe I missed that comment) so I don't know where you got that from.

>>4692682
none*

If I made other typos, fuck it.

>>4692669
Thanks! Can you cap the ones linked in >>4692693
too? I'd do it but I'm on my phone right now.

>>4692658
No, they haven't.

>>4692641
Either GLW themselves or they've sent a whiteknight.

>>4692703

>>4692724

>>4692693

"muse album" and "collaborating on shoots" are two entirely different things. Not sure what you guys are arguing about. I was asked to have a muse album because i have 6 of their wigs and i'm not really model material. I told them I would think about it. That was awhile back. My main hesitation is that I am too lazy to get all dolled-up to take nice photos that will be on the internet FOREVER.

>>4692724
Her face looks like one of a SVU-driving middle-class mom who sends their kids to upscale private academies and attends every PTA meeting and bake sale.

>>4692724
>>4692749

She has a muse album, and she's not your traditional babydoll lolita. So all this talk of ignoring customers who want an album is kind of silly.

>>4692760
Yes, but she's not a jiggling hambeast either. I've seen plenty of enormous Lolitas try to make themselves look good with GLW and it just makes them look even more ridiculous. I wouldn't want them on my front page either...

>>4692736
I get that those are two separate things and normally I wouldn't read anything into that but when people are saying that sentence was recently added, it kinda reads like they're trying to justify ignoring some people (while continuing to ask others to be models). Maybe that's not the case, but seeing as many of the other albums don't have that same message to me it feels like that's the intent.

FWIW, I can easily see GLW ignoring people's PMs and emails about wanting to be a muse. I had a problem with a wig and I wrote them 3 emails, 2 fb messages, and wrote on their wall (over the time span of ~3 weeks) and all were ignored. They finally wrote me back and solved my problem when I included that I really wanted to buy several more wigs if I could just get my problem fixed.

>>4692760
>So all this talk of ignoring customers who want an album is kind of silly.

Except... it's not, becuase people have asked about wanting an album, and they have been ignored.

>>4692780

>They finally wrote me back and solved my problem when I included that I really wanted to buy several more wigs

Classy.

bump

moar stories

it's pretty clear that they're posting here. They don't even try to disguise their language.

any more luck on finding their wigs on taobao?

>>4696110

>>4688030

Also yea chinese shops use the english word "lolita"

I've been a customer of GLW for awhile now so I'll share a few things about their wigs.
1. They shed fibers like crazy,which means they won't last long before thinning out.
2. The base of their blended series is very thin. You can see the wefts and it's pretty pathetic without the pigtail falls in.
3. They get tangled beyond recognition if you wear them even once without combing them out before and after.
4. Some of the tangles are so bad that you need to CUT them out.
5. They're much easier to maintain when straightened.

I used to have a link to a shop with a bunch but for some reason the shop isn't the same anymore. It's got a bunch of wallets in it now. O_o

I do have these two wigs though.
