This time is based on the pick-up appointment or day/time of delivery to client’s address. If a fault is found, the client is required to schedule a drop off appointment or share a tracking number within the 72 hour period. Beyond the 72 hour return period, The Wig Station will not address any faults that may come up after the piece has been under the client’s care. Lessons for caring for your wig or topper are strongly encouraged to make sure that you are handling your investment hair with proper care to ensure the longevity of your pieces and the integrity of the services completed.
