You may already know the look you love. Or you may want a little time with your new piece before deciding. An unstyled wig gives you room for both.
At Fortune, we offer new wigs uncut and unstyled so you can choose your own finish. If you love the natural look as it arrives, you can enjoy it that way. A cut or styling appointment is a choice, not a requirement.
This guidance is for a piece listed as uncut and unstyled. Fortune Pre-Owned, already styled pieces, and orders with personalization may have an existing cut or finish. Start with your own listing and order details.
Why leave the choice with you?
Length, layers, and the way hair falls around your face are personal. Starting with an uncut piece lets you decide which changes matter to you, with the help of a stylist if you want it.
There is no single best look for everyone. Keeping the natural finish is just as valid as choosing a softer fringe, a shorter length, or more shape. You do not have to decide everything at once.
If you choose a stylist, bring a clear starting point
A little preparation can make the conversation easier. These are the three things I would focus on:
- Choose someone experienced with human-hair wigs. Ask about their wig work and look at examples. Discuss your piece's construction and the changes you are considering before any cutting begins.
- Bring inspiration photos and say what you like. Save a few looks from your own research. Point out the length, layers, parting, or movement that appeals to you. Photos help explain your preferences; your stylist can talk through what is realistic for your piece rather than promise an exact copy.
- Agree on fit and length before cutting. Explain how you usually wear your hair and what you want to keep. Fitting the wig and checking the finish while you wear it helps your stylist see where the length and face framing fall on you. Some work may be done on a stand; ask how the final fit and shape will be checked.
You do not need to know your face-shape category or the right salon vocabulary. “I like this movement, but I want to keep my length” is a useful place to start. Ask your stylist to show you how much they plan to remove before you agree.
If you would like Fortune to help
Working with a local stylist can make an in-person fitting convenient. If you prefer our team's help, we also offer optional paid personalization for online customers. You do not have to visit a salon to request it.
Our stylists first confirm what is possible. The remote process includes written specifications, payment before work begins, and a video review before the personalized piece ships. Confirm the length and requested changes carefully, and read the personalization terms before proceeding.
For a new order that has not shipped, contact us so we can confirm whether there is still time to add a service. Sending a request does not automatically hold your shipment. If your piece has already arrived, ask us about the current process for sending it in.
Before making lasting changes
Hair that is cut from a wig does not grow back. Take your time with decisions about length or thinning, and discuss any color changes with an experienced wig professional. Your piece's condition and construction should guide the plan.
Check the return and personalization conditions before authorizing alterations. Once personalization is added to your order, the piece and the service are non-refundable. You can review our terms and conditions and ask us to explain anything that is unclear.
