Refund policy
Returns and Exchange Policy
Real Hair Co supplies Premium Remy human hair extensions that are newly sourced and quality checked by our Brisbane team before dispatch. Because human hair extensions are a hygiene-sensitive product, returns and exchanges are assessed carefully and must meet the conditions below.
This policy does not limit your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Change of Mind and Incorrect Colour Selection
We may accept a return or exchange for change of mind or incorrect colour selection if the product is returned in original, unused and unopened condition.
To be eligible, the hair extensions must be:
- unused, unworn and not installed
- unopened or still sealed in their original packaging where applicable
- unaltered, uncoloured, untoned, unwashed and uncut
- free from product, odour, styling residue and handling damage
- returned with all original packaging, tags and pack details intact
For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept change of mind returns or exchanges once hair extensions have been opened, worn, installed, brushed through excessively, coloured, toned, washed, cut, heat styled, altered or removed from their original packaging in a way that prevents resale.
Colour Match Support Before Ordering
Hair extension colours can appear different depending on lighting, screen settings, natural hair colour and existing colour work. We strongly recommend using our colour match support before ordering if you are unsure which shade to choose.
Our team offers colour match support by phone, video call, live chat or photo. Send a natural light photo with your hair down and no filter, and our team will check the closest match.
Colour match support is a guidance service only. It does not guarantee an exact match, as final colour choice remains the customer’s responsibility.
Faulty, Incorrect or Not as Described Items
If you believe your item is faulty, incorrect or not as described, please contact our team as soon as possible with your order number, a clear description of the issue and supporting photos or videos.
Our team may request that the product is returned for assessment before a remedy is confirmed.
If the product is confirmed to have a fault or does not meet consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law, Real Hair Co will provide an appropriate remedy, which may include a replacement, repair, refund or store credit depending on the issue and your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
What Is Not Considered a Product Fault
The following are not considered product faults:
- incorrect colour selection where the product supplied matches the shade ordered
- colour variation caused by screen settings, lighting or photography conditions
- damage caused by incorrect installation, removal or maintenance
- damage caused by colouring, toning, bleaching, purple shampoo, chemical treatments or heat styling
- damage caused by unsuitable hair care products, product build-up, chlorine, salt water or poor aftercare
- normal wear and tear after the product has been installed or worn
Return Shipping
For approved change of mind or incorrect colour returns, customers are responsible for return shipping costs.
If an item is confirmed to be faulty, incorrect or not as described, Real Hair Co will assist with the appropriate return process and remedy in line with Australian Consumer Law.
We recommend using a tracked postage service for all returns. Real Hair Co cannot take responsibility for returned parcels that are lost in transit.
