How long do custom wigs take?Updated 7 months 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.
