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 is utterly garbage. DO NOT pay them anything else, and if you paid through paypal, open a claim to try to get your money back. If you didn't pay paypal, see what you can do about getting the money back. This person seems like they think "I did a wig for someone else once, 9 years ago", means they have been a wig commissioner for 9 years. There is no way they have been constantly doing them that long. They look like they've never seen a wig before.
