The Return Policy Red Flag System: Protecting Yourself from "Box Open = No Refund"
The Return Policy Red Flag System: Protecting Yourself from "Box Open = No Refund"
You finally find a hair extension brand that looks amazing online. You place the order, excited — only to discover that once you open the box, you’re stuck with it.
No refunds. No exchanges. No second chances.
Sound familiar? Unfortunately, this is the dirty little secret of many hair extension companies.
At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, we believe trust is everything. That’s why our return policy is clear, generous, and customer-first — because if you’re investing in luxury hair, you deserve a brand that stands behind its product.
Let’s break down the red flags you should be looking for — and show you why CM is setting the new standard in honest, hassle-free returns.
🚩 Red Flag #1: “Returns Only if Unopened” — AKA, You Can’t Even Check the Color
Many brands say they accept returns—but only if the package is completely unopened. Here’s the problem:
-
Most people need to hold the wefts up to their hair to see if the color works
-
They need to feel the texture to confirm the quality
-
And they usually don’t realize this policy until it's too late
This policy forces you to either risk wasting money or guess and hope for the best.
At Christian Michael, we offer a color sample window in every pack, so you can inspect the shade without fully opening the product. If it’s not right, you can send it back — simple as that.
🚩 Red Flag #2: Hidden Terms Buried in the Fine Print
Some brands advertise a return policy — but once you read the fine print, it’s full of traps:
-
Restocking fees up to 25%
-
Returns only within 3 days of delivery
-
No exchanges, even if they sent the wrong color
-
Must include original, sealed shipping mailer (?!)
These types of policies are designed to discourage returns, not support customers.
At Christian Michael, we keep it clear:
-
You have 14 days to return
-
No restocking fee
-
We accept returns as long as the product is unused and the color-check sticker remains intact
We don’t play games. We back our product.
🚩 Red Flag #3: “Final Sale” Disguised as a Deal
Watch out for “limited edition” or “bundle pricing” offers that quietly turn your purchase into final sale. These often come with no warning — or are hidden in a pop-up or confirmation email.
At CM, we always clearly label final sale items — and most of our promotions still come with our standard return window. Because a great deal should still come with peace of mind.
💡 Why a Fair Return Policy Matters (for Stylists & Clients)
Stylists: You shouldn’t have to eat the cost of a bad batch or a mismatched color. Your reputation depends on product consistency.
Clients: You deserve the freedom to find your perfect match — and a brand that supports you while you do it.
A brand that hides behind restrictive returns usually isn’t confident in its product. At Christian Michael, our return policy is a reflection of our quality — because we know you’ll love what you get.
