BUYER GUIDE
The wig sampling process, step by step.
A representative sample converts a visual impression into an approved standard. Run this workflow before any bulk commitment.
Why sample first
A sample is the only way to agree on construction, fibre, density and colour before money is tied up in production.
The sampling steps
Brief, representative sample, documented review, corrections, approved reference. Each step is recorded against the brief.
What to document
Construction, fibre, density, colour, and any deviation from the brief. The document is the reorder contract.
Cost and timing
Samples are supplied at sample price plus shipping at the buyer’s cost; timing is confirmed per construction.
QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK
Before you shortlist a supplier.
Are samples free?
No. Human-hair samples are high-value and supplied at sample price plus shipping at the buyer’s cost.
How long does sampling take?
A few working days to a couple of weeks, depending on construction.
What if the sample is wrong?
Request corrections and re-approve before bulk — do not approve and hope.
