How long do custom wigs take?Updated 14 days ago

Custom wigs typically take 4–8 weeks to complete before dispatch.

This timeframe reflects the full production process required to create a made-to-order wig.


Why custom wigs take 4–8 weeks

Custom wigs are not pre-made or held in stock.

Each piece is:

  • Created after your order is placed
  • Constructed by our production team
  • Carefully coloured, styled, and finished
  • Quality checked before dispatch

This level of detail requires time to ensure a natural and consistent result.


What happens during production

Your custom wig goes through several stages:

  • Hair preparation and selection
  • Wig construction and lace work
  • Colouring and toning
  • Cutting and shaping
  • Final quality inspection

Each step is completed with care to meet our standard.


Why timing can vary

Production time may vary depending on:

  • Length and density
  • Colour work or complexity
  • Current order volume

Some wigs may be completed sooner, while others may take closer to the full timeframe.


Important things to understand

  • The 4–8 week timeframe is an estimate, not a guaranteed date
  • Production must be completed before shipping begins
  • Tracking is only provided once your wig is dispatched

Common misunderstanding

Custom wigs are often expected to ship quickly.

However:

  • They are made to order, not pre-made
  • Production time is required before dispatch

Our recommendation

If timing is important:

  • Plan ahead when ordering a custom wig
  • Choose a ready-to-ship option if you need something sooner

Important

Custom wigs require full production time and cannot be rushed. Orders cannot be cancelled once production has begun.
