ANGELICA Wig #1625 designed by Noriko for Rene of Paris, Bundle - 2 Items: Wig and Wig Lift Comb (Color Selected: CHESNUT)

I received this Noriko Angelica Model 1625 in the color Butter Pecan today (February 11th, 2017) and am beyond impressed with its styling, color, cap design, and softness. I am attaching pictures in different lighting to (hopefully) show how realistic the hairline appears and how lovely the color is in the varied lighting changes. The pictures were taken basically after a shake, straight out of the box. I am new to wearing wigs so this also seems like it will be perfect for me because it doesn't seem to require a lot of fuss.This unit is just gorgeous and will be lots of fun to wear! I highly recommend this style and color.Update May 5th, 2017: This is definitely my go to for a fun and relatively inexpensive longer wig! I now own Maple Sugar-R, Crimson LR, Creamy Toffee-R, and a second Butter Pecan-R. Everyone just thinks that I color my hair frequently and can't believe that the Angelica is a wig. Joan River's Great Hair Day Fill-In Powder (it is waterproof, so as someone who seems to perspire a bit more than other ladies, it's a miracle!) really makes the difference but any fill in powder might work just as well to blend the wig line and help if you have some bio hair to pull forward, if you're like me where the bio hair is sparse. Check out Blondielocks' YouTube channel on tips for making wigs look like it's your own hair, she does an incredible job explaining her tips on dealing with and without bio hair and her very realistic strategies. There are other channels that have great information as well but so far, she is my favorite. I will try to post photos of the other colors that I have so that you might have a better idea of the color in real life on a regular looking head!

I must start by saying that it is very difficult to select a wig color based on the pictures provided here (or any website for that matter). Being blonde, I wanted a fairly blonde color without going too light. After looking all over the internet for a decent representation of the colors I was considering, I finally chose Nutmeg-F. Well, the color swatches varied so much that I just went for it and hoped for the best. Nutmeg-f went from looking light blonde to dark reddish blonde. Upon receiving my wig, I was a bit disappointed because it ran on the dark reddish blonde side. Now I had to decide what to do - keep it or send it back.This seller is amazing! Initially Nutmeg-F was out of stock from his supplier then suddenly they sent it to him and he got it to me right a way. It seems that the supplier can be inconsistent at times. He worked with me and offered to waive the restocking fee if I wanted to return it for another style that was available in another color or a reasonable credit to my account if I wanted to keep it. In the end I decided to keep it and I have grown to like the color on me. Jack was terrific and provided the best customer service I've had in a long time. Great communication. I will most definitely buy from him again.About the wig: It is beautiful! The hair is soft, silky and smooth. There are long layers through out which give it some volume but not too much. I may have to cut some thin wispy bangs into it to better suit my face. Otherwise the long side swept bang is really very nice. The overall length is more manageable than I expected so I may not trim it as originally planned. I can see why this is such a popular wig style.

I have orders several times it is always packaged along with factory box and tags on wigIs this fake?This was not packed or wrapped in anythingNo color or style number on boxThe wig looks ok but I have not combed or tried onThere are no tags on wigUsually it has tagsShowing color styleName brand this is so weirdShould I send back

Update to my original review: I purchased a total of 15 of these over the past few years. They were reasonably priced, since they don't last very long. (Six weeks before completely drying out.) It was affordable. The price has been doubled making them significantly more expensive than any online wig store. Sadly, no longer a value.Angelica is my go-to and has been for four years. When I first started wearing her, the 'bangs' were 12" long! Made for a beautiful off the face look with a ton of volume. They changed it two years ago and cut back to a five" fringe, making it difficult to keep the overall design balanced.Noriko makes the finest wig fibers hands down!!! I have spent thousands of dollars over the years on every brand such as JR, (thin and stringy), RW, (Matted, sticky mess in a matter of days), Gabor, (same as RW. Sticky cotton candy in days). None those Manufactures take ownership of their product, and have no idea how that could be. (They will however tell you how to wash and comb it)Noriko colors are the best, and never lose their luster. I live in New York, on the North Fork near the water where were have constant humidity and high dew points. Occasionally she fluffs out a bit, but these fibers are dependable and always manageable.This Vendor shrink wraps the boxes which is brilliant! They're sealed and protected from high heat and moisture. This price is a steal! They aren't 'first run' so they are a slight bit off. For someone like me that modifies anyway, I have to reshape the back to crown to add the coverage I need in the back. The average life span on daily wear for these is about four weeks before she needs a rest. I always have a new one in rotation. I can afford to that with this price, whereas spending $140 and higher, makes it difficult.I gave it 4 stars since they are a bit off, but definitely nothing that anyone would notice!I can't recommend this Seller or Angelica enough!

Thought it was ok. Color ok. After few days I thought I’d order another one cause I’ve worn wigs for 40 years. Few days later strands started sliding out. Even with gentle combing with comb included. I had already ordered another and sent it back. I am sure I’ll order another style before long. Thank you.
