Heres the Real Story:
The couple mistakenly had the wig laundered at the laundromat. They never authorized it knowingly. When the wig was returned to them, it was badly damaged in the spin cycle of a commercial grade washing machine, as would be expected. As a shaitel wearer for many years, I would expect a long haired shaitel to look like a nest once it got laundered in the machine. There is no repair for such a wig. It is a total loss.
For the judge to ACCUSE them of attempting to pass a cheap wig off as a $3000 wig, I believe is completely unwarranted. Judge Milian claims to have called “Georgie” and read of the serial number to a secretary who informed her that they dont sell that. I have many wigs and they have many tags and numbers in them. I dont believe that manufacturer can conclusively label every serial number in each wig. Also, a $3000 wig is a custom made piece specifically made for a specific person’s head. “they dont carry that line” makes no sense in this case. There is no “line” when it comes to a 100% custom order.
Also, for those of you who claim that she bought a new wig to get a receipt to prove to the judge the price, that is completely obsurd. SInce the receipt says the purchase happened in May, then the laundromat error mustve happend at a later time than the purchase. Also when “georgies” secretary said that this woman has recently purchased a long wig from them, she was probably referred to the wig that was on her head that she purchased to replace the one that got ruined. That receipt would have to be dated at a date after the laundromat fiasco.
So for all you people that are so ready to accuse these people of trying to win a quick buck, you need to do some serious sould searching. Just Saying.
