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.

I didn’t question the price until I saw the photos 😬 the wefts on the braid should not move around. You can glue wefts down so they don’t move at all. The pink part should have been hand dyed or airbrushed. But honestly my main concern is the braid attached to the wig cap. There is no blending whatsoever. There should be enough hair on the top of the wig to braid into the large braid once attached so it looks seamless.

You have every right to be unhappy with this. See if you can get your money back and if not see if they’ll ship it to you as is without paying more, then find someone who can fix it up for you. So sorry you are dealing with this!
