We back all of our products with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
In the event your eyes don’t glaze over with tears of joy as if seeing the heavens opened the moment you receive your purchase, just let us know within 30 days and return any item to us in its original condition.
Our return and exchange information can be found here. It’s easy peezy lemon squeezy.
Used and/or installed products are not covered by the satisfaction guarantee. Quality of all hair extensions should be determined before the bindings are removed. Removing the bindings will void its return eligibility.
To determine the quality of your bundles, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the following tests.
We recommend these specifically as they can be done without disrupting the package and voiding most distributor's guarantees:
1. View the fullness to the tips - your extension hair should have a gradual taper and not just loose stringy ends.
2. Feel the temperature of the bundle in your hand. Higher quality hair will have a cooler temp due to the moisture trapped inside the cuticles.
3. Look for split ends and mechanical damage. Bending the strands over your hand will make the tips more visible.
4. If you are concerned about overprocessing, take a small strand and wet it. See how it stretches. Damaged hair will overstretch and possibly break. If it feels like rubber, avoid installation.
5. If you are concerned about it possibly being plastic, take a strand and remove it from the pack. Light it on fire and then observe the smell that is released. Human hair has a very distinct smell.
6. Run your fingers up and down one or two strands of hair - cuticle hair will be slightly rougher on the upward movement.
We have a video for this process too! Check that out here.

If you have placed an international order and you’re worried it’s late, we suggest first calling your local customs office to see if it’s being held there for any reason. Delays in international orders are typically due to the red tape of customs processing.
Doctored Locks does not add additional fees.
However, fees may be added by your selected shipping carrier or your local customs agency. Fees levied by your shipping carrier may include brokerage fees (for crossing international borders) and filing parcel entry documents with customs.
Your country’s customs agency regulates importation of goods. They may impose a tariff, tax, duty or other fee. These are commonly calculated by the type of item and the dollar amount that you have purchased.
Because these fees vary from agency to agency and country to country, we are unable to predict these fees for you. If you are concerned about the possibility of additional fees, please contact your local customs office and selected shipping carrier.
The United States Postal Service can be reached at 1-800-275-8777. UPS can be contacted at 1-800-742-5877. You will need to Google the customs office closest to you.
Any additional fees are the customer's responsibility. Your shipping fees will not be refunded if you refuse your shipment.
Note: We have received feedback from customers that USPS has been much less expensive than UPS in regards to international transport "brokerage" fees. This has been particularly true for our Canadian customers.
If a parcel is deemed undeliverable by the shipping carrier, we will try to contact you to make any necessary corrections. Additional shipping charges may be incurred if this was due to an incomplete or refused address.
We do not charge VAT on orders at checkout for customers in the European Union.
You will be responsible for paying these fees separately upon arrival to your country. Orders are shipped with your phone number and email available to the parcel carriers and processors, and the appropriate agency will contact you regarding the payment of VAT associated with your order.
