Blondes: Which would you buy again? Irene, Sary, Miri?

Multitone blondes (between a 24/14/12 and a 16/10), Lace front/Lace top Sheitel wearers:

Which of these Sheitels do you like so much (because hair feels good, is comfortable to wear, it holds a set, it holds up well, doesnt oxidize quickly, doesnt need repairs for a long time, etc, that you would buy another one, again, without hesitation?

Irene, Sary, Miri, or other?

Seems like the Irenes, Sarys and Miris are about this price range (Between $2,000 and $3,000 for a 12 or 14 inch Lace front or Lace Top wig).

Which do you feel you got your money's worth with?

Any buying advice is appreciated.

I am pretty happy with my blond ( but w/ rooting / highlights / lowlights ) Sary , it’s about a year & half.
But I don’t have experience w/ Miri or Irene to compare to .

Thanks.

What stands out about your Fortune wig, relative to your other wigs?

Does Fortune do good blondes?

Thanks. Why do you like the Irenes better than the Miri?

I got an Irene as a Kallah and the color and cap faded and stretched within 6 months. I'm not so happy but I seem to be the only one.

No I wasn’t happy with my Irene either. It got puffier and puffier. I eventually just gave up and don’t wear it anymore.

My sary fall and full silk top oxidized like crazy within a few months of wearing them. They turned an ugly yellow-orange straw color. BH they lady I got them from recolored them for free and we went a bit darker than my color in order to avoid having the same issue. I got an Irene a few months later and LOVEEE it so much more. I did start out a bit darker than my sarys in order to avoid crazy oxidation, but I overall like the wig much better besides for the color quality. I know you asked about lace tops, mine aren’t but shouldn’t make a difference for color.

I have one Irene I got for dressy and Im happy with it, but I rarely wear it because of the length, so I wasnt sure about quality and longevity. I was thinking to try another brand now. Im thinking maybe to stick with Irene.

It's hard to really get accurate answers even from the same brand. Irene has a few styles. The older wavy ones are fuller and poofier than their blunts. So if someone says I hate my Irene it's poofy, you don't know what style she has. They also make now Soliel which is beautiful too.
Miri for example has 3 styles. Olympia, wavy and layered. Each one is different.
So you need to know what it is you want from the wig and then decide accordingly.

I voted other, didn't realize this is for blondies. I love my Eva & chloe!! I'd get another one in no time if I could afford a new wig! The hair is totally amazing and the hairline is very flat and natural (not lace)

I got one sary lace top two years ago and loved it. Also blond with darker top. The color is amazing, hair feels soft and beautiful. I bought another shorter one this year and I’m also thrilled.

I’m much happier with my sarys than shevys. I also have Israeli brand Rochi and for me it’s the same quality.

I used to say Irene. But recently got a new one and really don’t love it.
It frizzes and puffs up and doesn’t hold a style

Maybe I just got a lemon

If you're still within 6 months of purchase make sure to send it back to them for a Keratin treatment. Helps wonders.
What style did you buy? Was it lace or silk top?

I love my Yafi! They customed it to my face so it just frames my face so nicely as opposed to my other wigs that are just regular

Agreed and I am exactly the same color as OP! I have had Irene and Sary in the past and was very unhappy. Never had a Miri. I’ve had an Eva and Chloe now for about six months (so not long enough to have long term impressions) but so far I’m loving it. Lace front. Very comfortable and a gorgeous color that has so far not oxidized bli ayin hara!
