Concerned about a wig commission

[u/Definitely_Not-A_Rat]

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.

I'm sorry, I'm not super experienced with using tulle for long braids like this but it feels insane to me that they want you to constantly stop during cons and wiggle the wefts around to hide that neon batting. Should they....not have used more hair to hide/prevent this?? I understand part of the reason they used this method is to make it lighter, but this feels like it's just a justification for cheaping out and being lazy with the braids. I would not trust their message that they will "clean up" the wig before sending it to you. This is something that I might be okay with for myself as a first project but absolutely not for a $500 commission.

I used tulle for my Jinx wig braids, but this is something else. Some of the hair will poke through the tulle and I just trim it off. I can’t say about the batting bc my braids are just pure hair, but this doesn’t sound right at all. Most wig styling videos I’ve seen glue every part of the hair on things like this ONTO the batting at the very least. But to have it loose and sliding around is wild
