RETURN TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
We want your Goldylost Hair to be the best investment you’ve ever made and change your life for the better! Sometimes a hair piece needs some customisation for you to fall in love with it and by making some small tweaks, you may avoid the need for a return.
Sometimes it’s as simple as changing the part to where you are used to, other times its adding a dark root for a better blend.
We recommend reading our helpful guides, watching our “How to” videos on making a piece perfect for you or booking a free consultation to get help.
If you decide that your piece will not work for you, Goldylost Hair accepts returns on all stock wigs and hair toppers purchased online, this includes pre-orders.

Made an impulsive splurge, you’re now regretting? Don’t worry we got you.

But be quick as we often ship out next day and once your order is shipped, we can no longer cancel.
All cancelations made before the item has been shipped will incur a fee of $125AUD ($125 USD for international orders), per item cancelled. This amount will be deducted from the refund.
Faulty Items:
We are incredible but not perfect so a defect could happen, but this is very rare. Our pieces have many touch points from their hand tied construction to being hand coloured, washed and styled by our wig expert and then inspected, tried on for fit and product photos. So it’s highly unlikely a fault would be missed. But accidents happen and if any item is deemed as faulty, we will happily offer a repair or replacement.
Please inspect the item thoroughly once you receive it, before making any alterations such as cutting the lace you must contact us within the 72 hours return window, if you believe the item is faulty. We cannot accept claims of fault on items that have been altered in any way.
Due to the delicate nature of the product and the wearer responsibility to care correctly for the piece, we can not guarantee any time frame for the longevity of the piece. We do not accept claims of fault after the initial inspection time frame stated above. We can offer repair at a cost to the buyer.
To inform us of a suspected fault:
- Notify us via our Request a Return form, we will need your Name and Order Number (this can be found in your confirmation email).
- You will be required to send photos of the issue.
- If requested, return the item to us for inspection, and if deemed faulty we will repair or replace and reship to you.
