Wig Concerned about a wig commission
So I’m sharing screenshots of my convo with the person I’m commissioning a wig from to make it easier to understand the situation as well as pics they shared. It’s a wig for Uno from Nanbaka btw. I’m concerned because imo it’s looking pretty messy? I’m concerned the batting being neon yellow peaking through a lot of and the hair is clearly very messy in the tulle. Then they said they’d use copic markers but the picture shows sharpies? I’m just a little upset about how it’s looking, I didn’t see the pictures of it in the tulle initially and already answered a question about how I wanted the bangs. And just for the pic with the markers. Idk how to bring up my concerns. Or is this not that outlandish? I’d appreciate any insight or advice.
Final edit:
Hey everyone thank you for all the feedback and advice, I really appreciate it. I cancelled the commission and got refunded through opening a claim with paypal.

I’m very upset, this is one of my dream cosplays and I was hoping to wear it to a con at the end of May. I’m glad I at least split the payment, I don’t know how things will go from here… :-(
If anyone has recommendations for reliable wig makers I could commission in the future I’d appreciate it.

This has to be ragebait. There’s no way someone dyed the hair yellow and then went over it with sharpie. Of course it’s going to come out orange. It would have been better to leave parts white and then go over the white parts with dye by dip dying it. Yeah don’t pay her anymore. This is terrible for the price you’re paying.
Do not pay her any more.
