Hi everyone, As the market for factory-direct hair systems grows, many of us are moving away from local salons and expensive re-sellers. However, quality consistency remains the biggest challenge when dealing with Alibaba/direct suppliers.

I’m starting this thread to create a transparent database of our experiences. If you've ordered directly from a factory recently, please share your feedback using the template below.

Format (Rate 1 to 5 stars):

• Date of Order: [Month/Year]
• Provider: New Times Hair, Always Hair, Shunfa Hair...
• Platform: e.g. Alibaba, AliExpress..
• Model/Base: [e.g., French Lace, Poly 0.03, Mono]
• Color: [e.g., #2 Ash European]
• Price: [$USD]
• MOQ: [Direct Sale vs Minimum Order Quantity]
• Quality (1-5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Texture, shedding, knots)
• Shipping (1-5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Speed and carrier)
• Communication (1-5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Ease of contact, English level)
• Customization (1-5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Did they follow specs?)

Personal Notes: (Add here details about the perm, hair type, or how it handled the first wash).

Let's help each other skip the middlemen and find the best hair for the best price!
