My God! Where did you get that hair from? A company claiming to sell virgin russian Hair? Looks like cuttings swept up from the floor! sorry to hear about your bad experience, it gives me a nasty feeling in my gut when people are so money orientated morals are left behind

Hi Marlena,
Please tell us the company you bought that awful looking hair from. If we know the name it will keep us from making the same mistake. Thanks XX

*shudders*
 
You poor thing Marlena! That hair looks like it was hacked off an old goat! How these kinds of people sleep at night is beyond me. Don't they have any conscience at all? Guess not.
 
Is there any way at all you can get a refund? Was it expensive?

Mail order bride.....next time I get spammed by one of these lovely ladies, instead of clicking delete, I'll ask her if she wants to sell me her hair.

it was the company that was mentioned on hairtalk several times with good reviews. so i am wondering if someone is just selfadvertising on this board.

hi goddes, what refund? are you kidding? that was western union transaction and the "supplier" tells me that the hair that was sent to me is the best of the best and my complaints are unfound because i am "ignorant in hair business" lol, it was $1200 per kilo.

You had a kilo of this? was it all in that state? was it raw hair? that sounds like alot of money if it is raw, blimey, is there a trading standards complaint you could do? At least get some of the money back?

it was "single drawn" 22" ponytails. i bought two kilos. about 300 grams were OK the rest was reversed, became dreads right after i washed it. the company is in russia, they are laughing at our complaints. i don't think i should mention the name of the company as i hate any legal battles but it was one of those three companies talked about on hairtalk that sell "virgin russian/ukrainian hair" with fancy websites. i guess they thought that i am one time customer out of the blue so i could be dooped.

i have paid for education, i am ok with that, but never again.

Oh my!! I'm russian myself (from Belarus, to be exact) and let me tell you that most of our women and girls are different shades of blonde. This hair doesn't look what I remember seeing on russian womens' heads at all!  Not native slav russian, anyway. Maybe its armenian or georgian??? By the way, my own hair is sooo fine... (sigh).

I want to apologize to Sampook, it was very unethical of me to judge her hair without seeing it first. BUT SHE'S STILL CRAZY.
