The Wig Company has sold wigs since 1969, according to the store, and built its name on the Gabor brand. For budget buyers the useful tools are the price filters: the lowest band is $49.99 and under, and when we checked it opened at $38.95 for an American Beauty wig, with Vivica Fox styles in the mid $40s. The store also runs its own TWC lines with buy more, save more offers of up to 55% off on select styles, which lets you get a house-brand wig at a lower price than an equivalent name brand. Above that, the catalog covers Raquel Welch, Jon Renau, Ellen Wille, Noriko, Rene of Paris and Belle Tress in lace front, monofilament and hand-tied caps. Free US shipping applies from $49. Return rules are posted on a separate policy page, and the store notes that "From" prices may include open-box items, so read the terms for the item you pick.
