What size of Wig Will Fit Me?
Not everyone will fit perfectly to a single size, but it is important to measure your head and have this done regularly.
We have a guide by Michelle showing the recommended method to measure your head
How Long Do Orders Take To Arrive?
We always say that it can take 10 working days for your order to arrive with us, although normally it is much sooner as we place DAILY orders with all of our manufacturers. We have no control over any delays with manufacturer stock, or with the customs and import times if affected by any external situations (ie. COVID-19).
What happens if my order is out of Stock?
If we do not have your wig ready to ship immediately, and the manufacturer does not have any stock - it can mean that there will be an additional wait time. We always try to inform you of this as soon as we are told by our manufacturing partners.
If there is a delay to your order, and an item is on back order - we will ALWAYS offer you the option to exchange for another item, wait, or have a refund. You always have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days when your item has not yet shipped.
Do MiMo Wigs Have Stock Available to Ship immediately?
Whilst it is not possible for us to hold every single style and colour of every manufacturer….. we always aim to hold a large volume of stock to ensure that we have many of the most popular styles of items ready for dispatch for you.
Are There Delays Due to COVID?
Many items from our manufacturing partners can be subject to delay at present, as the safety of factory workers and staff is pivotal in ensuring ethical and safe production of product.
Although there are some delays at present, we will always have a rough estimated time given to us if your items re back ordered, and we will inform you of this.
At MiMo, we continue to work daily, and if any items are handled by staff - they are done so with staff using appropriate PPE.
Are all of the wigs and hairpieces new, or could they be another customer return?
We are extremely vigilant when it comes to the stock we sell. We are also very aware of the fact that many of our wonderful customers are undergoing treatments that mean they are immunocompromised and at risk of contracting infection from external pathogens.
We will NEVER resell any item that has been tried or returned to us by another customer in accordance with the UK hygiene law. Your safety is absolutely pivotal.
This ensures not only your own safety, but ensures the wigs / hairpieces are not compromised with multiple people having tried on.
Your safety is our priority.
Why does MiMo Wigs not accept a return to resell?
The reason we do not accept a return and resell the items is due to the fact that wigs and hair pieces / headwear are considered to be hygiene and health items. We are happy to act as an intermediary/“middleman” on occasion if a manufacturer will accept back a return - please see our RETURNS & REFUNDS policy
Why don’t all manufacturers accept back a return if the item is unwanted?
Some manufacturers will accept a return if the wig is unworn / still factory packaged and has not been tried on. Many manufacturers will not accept a return unless there is a fault to the wig. This may be for health & safety reasons (due to wigs being medical items) and can also be to ensure there is no compromise to the integrity of the wig caps by multiple people trying on.
What do I use to wash my wig or topper?
You should always follow the manufacturer advice and guidance with wig care. We do supply a range of hair care for synthetic and human hair wigs.
Can I use a hairdryer or tongs / straighteners on a synthetic wig or hair piece?
If your wig is standard synthetic, you must NEVER use any heat as the fibres will melt, and the wig or topper will be damaged.
You can use heated tools on a HEAT FRIENDLY synthetic fibre, or on HUMAN HAIR only. You should ALWAYS use a heat protection spray prior to this and ensure you stay below the safe maximum temperature recommended for your product as per manufacturer guidance.
How Long Will My Wig Or Topper Last?
This is a question that we are asked very often. Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this. Longevity depends on care very often. Other factors like fibre type (synthetic, heat friendly, human hair) and more come in to play.
A ROUGH guide that many manufacturers state is that
• Synthetic wigs / toppers could be expected to last 6 weeks with good care and handling and with use of the appropriate products. Longer wigs will last a shorter time due to the friction and static damage that can be incurred with rubbing against clothing.
• Human Hair wigs are estimated to last around 5-6 months. However, this depends on hair type (eg remy or non-remy) and manufacturer. The lifespan is also VERY dependent on using appropriate care products and ensuring that you wash at the correct intervals and deep condition as required with appropriate products.
• Please note that FOLLEA state that they would expect at least 1-2 years of life to the wigs they supply with good care and maintenance.
Why are the wigs and hairpieces on this website so expensive?
We sell MEDICAL GRADE wigs and hair pieces. These range in price dependent on the materials used / hair type and cap construction.
If a wig is 100% hand made, that can take 60-70 hours of work just to have each hair individually tied to the base materials. It is such detailed and incredible work.
Sourcing of human hair has become particularly difficult over the past year particularly, so the cost of this is high as demand can be higher than supply.
