K18 tip
This generous 90-day window only covers orders placed directly on k18hair.com — if you bought it at your salon, K18 corporate won't take it back, you have to go through the salon itself.
Wigfever tip
You get one free exchange within 15 days on eligible orders, but Wigfever won't ship the replacement until the original wig is received back - budget extra time if you need the swap before an event.
