Well, I'm pleased to report I got my refund through from Pedro and the wig is on its way back to him.

In order to put this fiasco behind me (and I think you can read between the heated lines of previous posts that it's been very emotional and draining one, but I need to let it go now) I am in the process of writing up a full account of my whole Pedro experience .  It's my therapy!

It may surprise people that I'm not saying this guy should be avoided at all costs.  I know some clients are happy with their Pedro wigs.  I also know that some people may be pleased with the price/quality of what Pedro delivers.   If you're used to wearing  synthetic wigs, or ready-made, highly-processed wigs, and haven't yet experienced the difference of wearing luxury, top quality hair (or maybe can't afford to), a £340 Pedro wig might suit you.  But I've realised it's a false economy for me, personally.  I'd rather have one 'Rolls Royce' wig than 3-4 'Skodas'. LOL  Apart from the actual wig quality, the experience of dealing with a nasty, slippery, 'smoke and mirrors' character  is not worth my peace of mind.   (Yes, I know this is a heavy accusation, but I do not make it lightly and can justify it.)

Good luck to anyone who decides to take a chance with him.  I hope you get better service and a better product than I did.  But don't be naive - you are dealing with someone who requests cash transactions into a personal (not business) account... in a foreign country... with no consumer protection if things go wrong.  Yes, I got a refund, but that doesn't necessarily mean others will if they're not happy.

Jaye

Do one thing every day that scares you.
Change only feels hard because it's different. Suffering is easy because it's familiar.
