A couple months ago, I left a five star review because at the time, that review was one hundred percent true. As time passed, and experiences changed, I need to update my review. The owner used my phone number to reach out to me after blocking me on social media with zero communication regarding reasons why. Refunded my last order with zero reasons. Other than, her texting me the assumption of me not liking her the next day. When you order, your shipping time is longer than listed with the same short staff excuse yet launches new products. Price gouging is through the roof.

I refunded your order because you were stating you were about to report the transaction the PayPal. I texted you because you were posting my address on a social site that contains a person who has been posting about my life, every aspect of it, for 4 years.. That person terrifies me. So yes, I texted you and kindly asked you to remove my personal address from a social site, you then said “like she has the audacity to text me”, my response back to you was “yes, I have the audacity to protect my children”. When you removed my address, I texted thank you, and that was the end of the text.
Yes, I blocked you, for reasons you’ve made clear by your actions, i.e. participating with a lunatic who has been following my life and posting photos and videos of me, my children, my husband and more for YEARS. This person boasts about knowing where I live and poses a threat to my safety.
Talk bad about me all you want, but if it were you, you would feel the same.
This entire situation is insane. Move on.. Find a hobby. Go to church.. Stop sitting around and talking about someone you don’t even know.. Stop participating with someone who keeps claiming over and over that they aren’t someone when they clearly are..
That girl is a stalker and you posted my address in a place where she also is.. I asked you to remove it, I refunded your order because I do not want the energy or bad karma that comes along with accepting that money.
I wish you the best!

Don't Risk your Money
I'm sure the owner will make some rediculous reply to this review, but reddit will give you the whole truth. She literally blocked and banned me from her page and app, deleting my cash back because she didn't like that I'd joined another Facebook group. That being said. I've had a lukewarm experience with RG. I've been disappointed with several of the wigs but their no returns policy makes it so there's nothing to be done. I've discovered many of my Rebel Gypsy wigs have no tags and loose threads where a tag could have been. I have purchased identical (not similar) but identical wigs from other retailers for the fraction of her price. This goes beyond normal fair retail markups and I believe she is preying on vulnerable women who don't know anything about the wig market.
I am not an entrepreneur, I do not sell wigs, I do not run multimedia platforms. I am a woman who lost my hair and was taken advantage of by a business that preaches love and acceptance but will turn on you if you do anything or say anything the owner doesn't like.
If you want to support a mean girls club, that rips you off then you've found the right place. See their reply for how classy their customer service is.

SCAM ALERT DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Update: Rebel Gypsy is paying for five star reviews. Trustpilot knows and doesn't seem to mind. You can't trust any positive reviews on this page, especially not the ones written in the last ten days or so. She offered store credit to her followers for positive ratings on this site around that time. Trustpilot has the messages including the owners real name on her account and the link to this page. It's verified already, they just don't care. In the last several days it appears that she's started actually buying and/or writing her own reviews. Look at the suspicious stream of five star reviews on August 19th alone! I doubt you can trust the likes of Ginger Mask and Urban Bond LOL! It is my opinion that she is attempting to ratio the truth into non existence. The reviews talking about mean girls and jealousy sent me. She scammed a lot of people out of a lot of money and then tried to bully, harass and doxx them into submission. They were already angry, now they're REALLY ANGRY! Before she starts her, bs, flagging nonsense again she should look up defamation. It's saying something you know isn't true in an attempt to inflict financial harm. Everything I've said, I can prove or I have seen enough evidence to believe that what I am saying is true. There's a lot of evidence to support the idea that she is buying other vendors' wigs, removing their tags and marking them up sometimes 500%. In fact, one of MY wigs has ripped seams at the nape and loose threads. There is a video of her showing the cap of a unit, talking about how good of a job she did yet you can see what looks very much like a Bobbi Boss tag inside. Not defamation. In my opinion, that is evidence of her commiting fraud. I truly believe what I'm doing is altruistic. I hope to stop at least a few people from suffering the same fate as myself and many MANY others. Any financial hardship this might cause is the direct consequence of a complete lack of integrity, honestly or quality on the merchant's part.
If you want the truth go to Reddit. You won't find much of it here. She spends a crazy amount of time and energy trying to suppress the honest negative reviews she gets.
End of Update
Absolute TRASH. Nearly 400 dollars for three unwearable wigs. If you're like me and suffer from hair loss please, don't take a chance on this company. You'll end up worse off than you were before. These are absolutely not acceptable for daily wear. Personally, I wouldn't even wear them to an extremely dark nightclub. Well maybe on Halloween 🤣
I took the leap because I was looking for contemporary styles that felt more like "me" than what I could find from traditional wig retailers. I also like to support small businesses whenever I can.
When the parcel finally arrived I was immediately suspicious when I saw her packaging of the wigs. They came in pantyhose boxes crammed into cheap mesh bags. When I took them out my suspicions were confirmed and my heart sank. The wigs were all horrendous.
I paid good money for the lace front called Just a Dream. When she arrived she was more bald on top than I am while being way too thick everywhere else. The fibers throughout the lace top are horribly placed. She looks like the head on a balding Barbie. You know the one, we all had her. The result is, frankly, comical. Or, it would have been if I hadn't wasted so much money on what was supposed to be my birthday present.
It's a shame that "Just a Dream" really was just a dream. The fibers themselves were actually pretty enough although they've broken down and gone fuzzy at the ends. Definitely not something you expect to see in a brand new wig.
The other two wigs I purchased are crazy thick, hideous, AND dreadfully uncomfortable. One of these also appeared to have broken down fibers.
I've ordered lace front, human hair wigs from AliExpress that were vastly superior for less. I have also purchased synthetic from Paula Young and while their styles are mostly too dated for me, I would still recommend them over this company. Their fibers (especially the Versafibers) are of a much higher quality and as a result the individual wefts aren't ridiculously thick. A stark contrast to these wigs, which have insanely thick wefts of what appears to me to be low quality fibers. Putting on these other two Rebel Gypsy wigs feels a lot like donning a protective helmet of itchy, tangled fishing line.
Someone keeps flagging this. Please know, I will do whatever Trustpilot asks to keep this review live. I've removed the bit they recommended as I can't prove it. That's fair enough. I did, however, also decide to add more information about my experience, both with wigs in general and with this company in particular. Hopefully this will give extra weight to my review and prevent others from making the same mistakes I did.

Pretty units..
If your cap size is on the smaller side, these won’t work for you.. for reference I’m 21 circumference, so not super petite. Even with trying different cap styles, and the adjustments as tight as they go(even crossed over), and wig grips they are still too large, and the 1 that is “secure” with glue, bunches in crazy ways.
Thankfully, I realized after the third purchase that these units won’t work for me. The one long unit, tangles so so bad within the first 10 mins of wear. So, I decided to order a shorter one to hopefully help with that.. unfortunately that didn’t help, but that unit was even worse with the tangles. I brush it out before putting it on, and just from the movement of putting on my head, it becomes so tangled that I can’t run my fingers even halfway down. So, let’s try an above the shoulder length… I get a little longer wear time than the others, but not long enough.
I did reach out to customer service, but the response I received was not helpful at all. The information I now know, was found on YouTube, not from the help of customer service.

RIP OFF
Update - they did give credit again for more of their crap and still receive d wigs I didn’t order so I donated all to cancer Katie ts and I really wish them well… just don’t buy from them - I only bought from this vendor because someone I knew had a wig. I ordered 2. First wig was wrong and no second wig stating on back order. I reached out and after sending multiple emails with tons of photos they realized they had sent wrong wig. They said keep it. I donated that wig and eventually correct wig came but still waiting on back ordered wig. It's now late May. First they were talking credit plus additional $25 gift card on more of their crap then they said store credit as in getting another wig and $25 gift card because they can't get the wig I wanted - like I want more crap from them after this experience. Wish I'd seen other reviews - DON'T BUY from them

Hi there Joan, I’m super sorry we were unable to fulfill your special order for the wig named “Animal”, I do see we issued you a gift card for the wig Animal and we shipped your order for heading south which I see was delivered on 5/30. Although we did issue you a credit, as per your request, and I do see you gifted that to someone named Erin, I went ahead and I refunded your full order ❤️

Trust and believe Amanda Lawrence will…
Trust and believe Amanda Lawrence will have to address her lack of integrity, poor customer service and FRAUD. Amanda Lawrence will be held accountable for receiving compensation for a product that was completely split in half. I will take an ad out tomorrow and make sure no one else has to deal with her fraudulent business practices.

Hi there Colleen :) I'm glad we had a text conversation and got everything resolved today about this review. After speaking we concluded that we did in fact email you and take care of all of these issues you had within 24 hours of you emailing us, we did what you asked in those emails as well and today we decided that we were just going to refund your order that you wanted the credit for and move forward. Thank you!

Scam artist - 300% + markups
I purchased 3 wigs from this shop. one was ok , the others are straight trash. They looked frazzled and as if they had been used (prob for a live, gross) One day, I actually heard the shop owner talking on a live one day about a whole subreddit with "her haters" so I got curious and researched it . I found that other websites selling the same wigs for 300% less. I also looked in my wigs I purchased from her and found the remnants of tags from other companies were cut out of the wig. I started looking at her stock and finding the same wigs on Divatress for a fraction of her costs. AND I GET THEM IN 3-4 DAYS NOT 4-6 WEEKS. I now only buy wigs from them for a fraction of what she charges. She is a liar and a scam artist who is scamming people left and right. A lot of her clothing can be found on Shein.com for way less.
She does not allow reviews on her page and if anyone complains on lives or even in email she blocks them and deletes comments . She is literally very good an hiding negative reviews so she can continue to scam the unknowing women out there.
She also does not accept refunds for her trash so your stuck with it. So the only thing you can do if file a PayPal dispute . Ladies DO YOUR RESEARCH. I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner.
