Virgin Hair Directory has been created to help hair buyers research hair vendors, learn more about hair, read other buyers’ experiences and make better-informed decisions before spending their money.
This page explains how to use Virgin Hair Directory, what the information on the website means, what you should check for yourself and how you can help other hair buyers by sharing your own experiences.
Virgin Hair Directory is a research and information platform. We do not sell hair directly and we are not involved in transactions between buyers and hair vendors.
You can use Virgin Hair Directory to:
Our aim is to bring useful hair-buying information together in one place.
The Hair Vendors section allows you to search and browse businesses that sell hair and related products.
A vendor listing may contain information such as:
The information available will vary between listings.
Some listings may contain considerably more information than others.
Being listed on Virgin Hair Directory does not automatically mean that Virgin Hair Directory recommends, approves, guarantees or endorses that vendor.
A business appearing in our database means that information about that business has been added to the directory.
You should still carry out your own research before purchasing.
Hair businesses can change their:
Although we aim to keep our information useful, we cannot guarantee that every piece of information in every listing will always be completely up to date.
Before buying, check important information directly with the vendor.
Our directory may allow you to search or filter vendors using information such as:
Filters are designed to help you narrow down the database.
Being shown in a particular search result does not mean that the vendor is the best vendor for that category.
Use the results as a starting point for your own research.
Do not feel that you have to buy from the first company you find.
Use Virgin Hair Directory to compare different businesses.
You may want to compare:
Different buyers will have different priorities.
The right vendor for one person may not necessarily be the right vendor for someone else.
Buyer reviews are an important part of Virgin Hair Directory.
Reviews can help you understand what another customer experienced when dealing with a particular vendor.
Where available, reviews may discuss areas such as:
Reviews may also contain written comments, photographs or other information submitted by the reviewer.
A review represents the experience and opinion of the person who submitted it.
It does not necessarily represent the opinion of Virgin Hair Directory.
Two customers can buy from the same vendor and have different experiences.
For this reason, we recommend reading several reviews where possible rather than making a decision based on one review alone.
Look for patterns across different customer experiences.
Reviews submitted to Virgin Hair Directory should reflect a genuine customer experience.
Depending on the circumstances, we may ask a reviewer for evidence relating to their purchase.
This could include:
Please see our Review Policy for full information about how reviews are handled.
Even where a vendor has received positive reviews, this cannot guarantee that every future customer will have the same experience.
Businesses, products, suppliers and individual batches of hair can change.
Use reviews as part of your research rather than as a guarantee.
Businesses can receive complaints.
One negative review does not automatically mean that every customer will have a bad experience.
Consider:
The purpose of the review system is to help buyers see different experiences and make their own decisions.
Virgin Hair Directory may offer vendors paid advertising, sponsored placements or enhanced visibility.
Where required, paid commercial content will be identified appropriately.
Paying for advertising or additional visibility does not entitle a vendor to:
Advertising and customer reviews are separate.
Unless we clearly state otherwise for a particular service, Virgin Hair Directory is not the seller when you purchase hair from a vendor listed on the website.
Your purchase is made directly with the vendor.
The vendor is responsible for matters relating to its own transaction, including:
Always read the vendor’s own terms before purchasing.
Vendor listings may contain links to external websites or social media accounts.
When you follow an external link, you are leaving Virgin Hair Directory.
That external website will have its own:
Review those before providing personal information or making a payment.
Virgin Hair Directory is designed to help with research, but the final buying decision belongs to you.
Before making a purchase, consider checking:
If something important is unclear, ask the vendor before purchasing.
Hair can be expensive.
Some buyers spend hundreds of pounds on bundles, wigs or extensions.
Take your time before making a large purchase.
Do not feel pressured into buying because of:
Research first and make the decision that is right for you.
It can be useful to keep:
If something goes wrong, this information may help when contacting the vendor or explaining your experience.
It may also help if you later decide to submit a review to Virgin Hair Directory.
The Hair Articles section is designed to help buyers understand the hair industry.
Topics may include:
Hair terminology is not always used consistently throughout the industry.
Our articles are designed to help you understand the terminology and ask better questions before buying.
The Hair Buyers Forum gives members a place to discuss hair with other people.
You may use the forum to:
Forum posts are created by members and do not automatically represent the views of Virgin Hair Directory.
Your experience can be useful to another person.
If you have purchased hair, consider sharing an honest review.
You can talk about both good and bad experiences.
A useful review may explain:
Keep your review factual and based on your own experience.
Reviews are not only for complaints.
If you received good hair or excellent service, share that experience too.
Positive experiences can help other buyers discover vendors worth researching.
They can also give good businesses recognition for providing a positive customer experience.
If you notice information in a vendor listing that appears to be:
please report it to Virgin Hair Directory.
We want the database to become more useful and accurate as it grows.
If you believe a review, forum post or other content may be:
please report it.
We may investigate content and take action in accordance with our policies.
Do not publicly post information such as:
Use care when sharing screenshots because they may contain information you did not intend to make public.
If Virgin Hair Directory provides a way to contact or visit a vendor, remember that the vendor is a separate business.
Virgin Hair Directory does not control how an independent vendor operates its business.
Always confirm important information with the vendor itself.
Virgin Hair Directory is a growing website.
The directory, reviews, forum, articles, categories and features may change as the platform develops.
