How do I place an order?
To place an order, click on the pink "add to cart" buttons beside any of the items that you want to buy. Once you have added everything, follow the instructions in our shopping cart to complete checkout and place your order.



How do I cancel an order?
If the order has not yet been paid for, then no action is required to cancel it. The order will automatically be cancelled after the second month of nonpayment.

If the order has already been paid for, but has not been shipped, please contact us from the e-mail address that you placed the order with and let us know that you'd like to cancel. Please include your order number in your message.

If your order contains any custom hair items and we have already begun working on them, we will subtract the cost of any wasted materials from your refund. This also applies to any Premium Wefts; if we have already cut the section of weft, then you will not receive a refund for it.

If you order has already been shipped, then you cannot cancel it.



I am an international customer but the shopping cart is asking me for a US state. What do I do?
In the "Select your US State for sales tax" box, select "No state or province" if you are located outside the United States.



I am licensed retailer interested in your products; do you offer wholesale pricing?
We now offer wholesale pricing for all of the products in the catalog. Please e-mail us at hair@ikickshins.net with your business information and a scan of your business license and we will send you a copy of our terms.

You can also fax us your license at (480) 649-6422. Please make sure to include your e-mail address; we will not set up an account without a valid e-mail contact.

Wholesale pricing is available for licensed retailers only. If you are not a licensed business, do not ask for a wholesale account. Your request will be declined.



Do you accept returns or exchanges?
General: We do not accept returns or exchanges on Loose Falls, Silky Curls, Cyberlox Falls, Streaks/Fringes, Dreads, Braids, Twists, Cyberlox/Crin, Plastic & Foam, Hair Accessories, Purses, Bulk Hair, Premium Wefts, Jewelry, or Direct Sale items.

Apparel: We do accept returns on select* Apparel provided the garment is unworn with all tags and packaging intact. Returned Apparel orders are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Refunds for returned Apparel cover the cost of garment only; any other products in the order, shipping charges, insurance, and customs fees are non-refundable. We also accept exchanges if sizing is an issue. The customer is responsible for any shipping charges incurred when an exchange is made. In order to return or exchange a clothing item, you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the item and return it to us within 14 days of receipt of the item.

In the event that a clothing item is returned to us late, damaged, worn, or without tags, we will not issue a refund and will return the item at the customer's expense.

*We do NOT accept returns on intimate apparel. An item is considered 'intimate apparel' if it includes any undergarments. For example, a bustier would not be considered intimate apparel, but a bustier that comes with a matching thong would be intimate apparel. If the ability to return an item is a concern for you, you can request that any matching undergarments be removed from your order prior to shipping.





An item from my order is missing, damaged, or incorrect. What do I do?
In cases of incorrect (for example, the wrong color or size) or damaged items, we offer the option of either a replacement or a partial refund as long as the item is clearly unused. We will cover the cost of return shipping. As with apparel returns, you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the item and return it to us within 14 days of receipt of the item in order to receive a refund. We will NOT give refunds for items unless you return them.



The color printed on my cyberlox or bulk hair package is different from the name I ordered from your website. Did you make a mistake packing my order?
The names of colors on our website do not necessarily match the names printed on the bags of hair that you will receive if ordering bulk hair. Because we carry multiple brands, we have many colors with the same names; for example, we have two colors labelled as "hot pink," but we list one of those shades as "neon magenta" because the two colors are completely different from each other.

This applies to cyberlox as well; we oftentimes do not use the manufacturer's names for colors, so the name on the color chart will not always match up to the name printed on the bag that you receive. If you need to know the exact brand name/color name as given by the manufacturer, it is your responsibility to contact us BEFORE ordering.



Can I change my order once I have placed it?
Sorry, but we do not accept order revisions. Please make sure to order carefully. Once you place your order, you cannot change it.



Where are you located?
We are located in Tempe, Arizona, but will gladly ship to you no matter where you're at. I Kick Shins does NOT have a salon or retail location; we are strictly internet-based.



Can I come pick up my order in person?
Sorry, but we do not offer local pick-up.



How long does it take you to fill orders?
The processing time is the amount of time that passes from the day that you pay for your order until the day that we ship it. Processing times do not include the amount of time that your order spends in transit once it has been shipped. After that, domestic shipping usually takes 2-3 business days and international takes 4-14 business days.

Your order is subject the processing time posted on the front page of the website at the time of payment. If your order contains items with different processing times, then the longest time is the one that applies to it. If you pay via cash or money order, the processing time that is posted when we receive payment is what applies to your order; NOT the processing time that is posted when you place the order itself.

Rush processing is sometimes available on a case-by-case basis for 50% of the value of any custom items in the order, plus any extra charges for expedited shipping. Please check the processing times listed on the front page to see if rush processing is available; if it is and you are interested in rushing an order, please refer to our rush processing request form.





Will you rush my order?
Rush processing on custom orders is sometimes available on a case-by-case basis for 50% of the value of the order, plus any extra charges for expedited shipping. Please check the processing times listed on the front page of the website to see if/when rush processing is available; if it is and you are interested in rushing an order, contact us.

For items that are NOT custom-made, rush processing is available as long as everything in your order is in stock. The 50% fee does not apply to such orders, however any expedited shipping charges do still apply.



Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship via USPS First Class Mail International and USPS Priority Mail International. Please note that as of May 14, 2007, economy/surface mail is no longer available.



How much does shipping cost?
Shipping cost for falls and extensions begins at $5.60 in the United States, $9.00 for Canada, and $11.00 for all other countries, and increases with the size and weight of your order. Small orders (like accessories) can be sent in the United States first class for $3.00 and internationally for $6.00.



How many colors can I get in my falls or extensions?
As many as you want! No matter how many colors you choose, the price of the falls will not increase :)

Will [some color] match my hair?
We offer a custom color matching service as well as samples for customers who aren't sure what color will work for them. For custom color matching, just send a sample of your hair--or anything that you want us to match the color of--in a plastic baggy to:

Sarah Giaconi
PO Box 25684
Tempe, AZ 85285-5684

Please make sure to put the sample in a plastic bag and include your e-mail address in the envelope. When we receive it, we'll match it up and let you know what comes closest.

If you would rather see the colors in person, you can order color samples for $1.00 per three colors (so 1-3 colors would cost you $1.00, 4-6 would cost $2.00, and so on). Please use the shopping cart button below to purchase color samples. Samples are available for kanekalon bulk hair, kanekalon silky, and toyokalon. Samples are not available for other products, sorry.





Can you make my dreads thicker than the regular size?
Sorry, but we do not make dreads any thicker than what is currently available through the website.



What do I do if my dreads start to get ratty?
If your dreads come unraveled at all, twist them with your hands and heat them up a bit with a hair dryer or pour some boiling water over them. You can also send them back and we'll repair them for you for the cost of shipping; please contact us if interested!

When I Kick Shins first opened, we sold dreads at EXTREMELY low prices. We were able to do this by sacrificing quality; if your dreads fall into that low price/low quality category and you send them in for repairs, we will do everything we can to make sure that they come back to you looking better than they did when they were brand new :)



Can you make dread falls mounted on clips?
At this time, no, but you can easily put elastic mounted falls on clips yourself. This method also works for twist or braid falls:



How to mount your dread falls on clips
Just take the elastic and put it over the handle part of the jaw clip. If you use a large jaw clip, just popping it on should be enough. If you're using a smaller jawclip or don't think its secure enough, just wrap the elastic around a few more times. Make sure all the dreads are at one end of the clip and wear that part at the top; then the dreads will hang down over the clip and hide it. If you are really concerned about the falls coming off the clips, you can tie the elastics together through the little handle things on the clip with some string. This will also help the dreads from sliding down to the bottom of the clip.

More pictures are here and here.





How do I care for my falls?
Store your falls in the bags that they come in (or in plastic bags). If your loose falls get tangled, a wig spray or any spray-on detangler can be used to help. Do NOT brush dread, braid, silky curl, or twist falls. If you have braids, twists, curls, or dreads added into loose falls, take care to brush around them.



The elastics on my falls broke, help!!
If the elastics on your falls break or end up stretched out badly, you can send them back and we'll repair them for you. Repairs are free; all you need to cover is the cost to ship them back to you. Please contact us if you would like to take advantage of our free repair service.

If you would rather save a little cash, you can also repair them yourself. Dread, braid, and twist falls can all easily be dismantled. Just cut the elastics and pull the hair off. Each dread/braid/twist is made individually before being mounted, so they can withstand being pulled apart from each other. Once you've got them taken apart, get a new elastic and loop the hair over it again. It should be pretty self explanatory how to do so once you've taken them apart and seen how they're attached.

As for loose falls, we cannot stress this enough: BE CAREFUL WHEN REPAIRING THEM! The first thing you'll need to do is remove the rubberbands around the fall that create the little nub at the top. Then hang the fall over something (towel racks are great for this). Once you've got it hanging up, you can remove the original elastic and put a new one on. If you fumble with it and accidentally drop the hair, the towel rack (or whatever you hang it over) will be there to keep the hair from falling in a tangled, irreparable mess on the floor. Then put rubberbands back around the top and you're done!



Can I wash my falls? How?
Try to avoid actually washing your falls as it will wear them out quicker. The best thing to do is air them out or use a little Febreeze. However, if you absolutely must wash them, here's how:
Run your falls through water with some diluted shampoo if they become dirty. Do not use conditioner on them; it will build up on the hair. Let your falls hang dry when done. Wait until they are *completely* dry before you try to brush them.

These washing instructions apply to loose, dread, braid, and twist falls. DO NOT WASH CURL FALLS OR THEY MAY LOSE THEIR SHAPE!



Can I wash my extensions? How?
When washing your hair with extensions in, you only really need to get your scalp and you shouldn't have to wash them more than once a week or so. Try using a dilute shampoo solution, and be sure to rinse VERY thoroughly. After washing, do NOT dry your extensions with a hair dryer; the heat may melt them!



How do I put in falls?
Check out the instructions page :)



How do I hide that little nubby thing at the top of my loose falls?
Check out the instructions page; along with instructions on how to put it falls, it also shows how to hide the tops of them.



How do I put in my extensions?
Check out the instructions page :)



Will you put in my extensions for me?
Sorry, but we do not offer extension installation services.



I live in [some place]. Where can I get extensions done?
We recommend looking in your local phone book for salons in your area, doing them yourself, or finding a friend to help you.



What types of payment do you accept?
We accept payment via money order, concealed cash (at your own risk!), Google Checkout, Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Sorry, no personal checks, no bank transfers, and no foreign currencies. Payment must be made in United States Dollars (USD). Cash and money orders are sent at your own risk; we are not responsible for them if they get lost in the mail.





What is Paypal?
Paypal (www.paypal.com) is an online payment service through which you can instantly send funds from your bank account or credit card.



I want to pay with cash or a money order. Where can I send it?
Sarah Giaconi
PO Box 25684
Tempe, AZ 85285-5684



What kinds of money orders do you accept?
If you're in the United States, any money order you can get your hands on is perfectly acceptable. If you're outside of the United States, you need to send an international money order in United States Dollars (USD).



Why was my credit card declined?
When a card is declined, our credit card processor does not give a specific reason as to why it happened. Therefore, we do not know why your credit card was declined. Some possible reasons include:

- You typed your name or billing address incorrectly. You must give these EXACTLY as they are printed on your credit card statement. That means, for example, that if your card has your middle initial on it or if your zip code is hyphenated, you need to include that in the billing address. If you think this is the problem, let us know the correct address and we'll try running the card again.

- You made a typo when entering your credit card number, expiration date, or CVC number. You will need to place a new order if you think this may have been the problem.

- You are trying to pay with a debit card that does not also serve as a credit card. Some debit cards also work as credit cards, but some only work as debit cards. If you have to use a PIN number every time you make a charge to your card, it is a debit card.
