Amadiz Beauty questionable ethics, questionable service

Amadiz Beauty is a highly controversial doll company, and its owners Georg and Kate Ramensky are unscrupulous businesspeople with a tendency to publicly attack people who provide any kind of criticism of their work.

Please note the thread on Holywarsoo.net dedicated to Amadiz Beauty and especially the headpost.
The headpost contains links which in great detail expose Amadiz Beauty's lies, attempts at concealment of such lies, blackmail, stalking and overall unethical activity in Russian BJD community. The information comes from clients and customers of the company who suffered either a faulty item or psychological pressure exerted by Amadiz representatives Georg and Kate Ramensky, some information is provided by a former tailor of Amadiz Beauty.

The most striking examples of Amadiz Beauty's unethical idea of doing business and providing prizes are summarized below.

▼Historical Myth 2017 event defective prize wig; Amadiz Beauty wigs reviews⬍

Amadiz Beauty has a history of providing failed goods as prizes for doll events. They market themselves as a luxury segment studio and yet the prizes they provide are far from being any kind of luxury items.
One notable and recent situation involves the prize wig for the winner of Historical Myth 2017 Moscow event.

The photos here show an elaborate wig with beading and flowers, with a complex hairstyle. When the winner received the actual wig, the paper flowers fell off and some of them fell apart.
The top part near the parting had a piece of weft just cut and glued in place, the glue was visible from many angles.
The left part of the wig had glue spots (previously covered by fallen off roses) and the glue damaged plastic faux-pearl beads. Discoloration and deformations are clearly visible in the photo.
Also some locks were showing discoloration due to hair styling products.

The winner posts a review of this prize wig in her personal blog. Another Historical Myth event winner of a similar Amadiz Beauty wig also adds the photo of the prize they received, with wig cap being clearly visible between hair wefts.

Commenters ask whether or not the winner is going to contact Amadiz Beauty for repairs, which brought up an earlier story - where the same winner also received an Amadiz Beauty wig as a prize and did contact them when it was too small to fit her doll. It ended up with the wig cap being cut and an elastic fabric being sewed in, instead of thorough repairs.

Georg Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty rushes to comment with the offer of help and repairs for their clients as stated in the warranty section of certificate of authenticity.

The winner replies that she presumed she was not eligible for their customer service due to her winning the wig as opposed to buying the wig.
Georg Ramensky states that the service Amadiz Beauty provides is equal for all the Amadiz wig holders and they're happy to make their clients happy. They also agree to pay the postal fee of sending the wig in question for revisions.
So far so good? Yeah. But not quite.
The situation with the prize wigs is being widely discussed on the anonimous BJD community BJDLeaksBranch where Georg Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty is a moderator.

Anons state that this level of quality for a wig submitted as a prize for one of the most important Russian BJD events, is unacceptable no matter how good a customer service the Studio provides.

Offended wig maker Kate Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty makes her statement.
Kate Ramensky quote, abridged:

"[] I am saying this as a person, not as a firm representative. I am an educated hairdresser [] and started my doll wig making career in 2012. Since then I have made many wigs with creative technologies and tried my best to make them as realistic as possible. Now I am teaching other wig makers of our studio. [] If a wig has obvious faults then it's wrong and needs to be fixed or remade.
But every mistake is the responsibility of the one who made it. But all mistakes save fatal ones can be fixed. Therefore I can never understand people who are unsatisfied with something but wait and keep silence, or those who talk behind the master's back about being unsatisfied. Every adequate master is always ready to fix their mistakes.
[] I am making 4 wigs a day regularly and 5-6 a day before any events. For Historical Myth event we decided to provide 3 complete wigs and 3 certificates, totaling 750 usd. [] But I am making these wigs for free out of respect for the event organisers and guests who worked very hard. Georg and me are always happy to see others' meticulous work and we wanted to thank them by making these wigs. Maybe we should've given prize certificates but we wanted to make more material prizes for people.
I admit that this is the mistake of the wig maker. And it is very sad when it's a gift and it disappoints. But sometimes people make mistakes and they deserve the chance to fix them. It's not good to post anonimous statements saying our quality is "shit" instead of contacting us directly. []
I will answer several queries that have been brought up here.
Why did we use the plastic beads? Because we didn't have any others. It was not a commission wig, but an experiment. If a client wants Svarovski beads they will receive Svarovski beads whether the client is Russian or foreign.
Why the flowers fell apart? I dunno. They were fine. They're easily removed as it is a feature of Amadiz Beauty wigs.
Do our wigs always have defects? No way. If there are faults, we always pay for shipping the wig back to us for fixing. But Russian clients contact us for client service five times less often than foreign ones, preferring anonimous bullying instead.[]
My husband Georg is always professional in dealing with clients and their demands, always polite and friendly. [] That's why it's very hurtful to see all those lies from the person who never told us she was not satisfied. This is hypocrisy. []
As to that first problematic wig, it was due to unusual doll head that it didn't fit. We have done our best to fix it and we have proof of that. [] The client left us a neutral but well-meaning review and that was that. If only the client told us properly she was not satisfied, we'd refund her happily and did everything in our power to rectify the situation. But she never did. Not then and not in this situation. []
We do not hate Russian clients and never call them names. This is lies. We work to make every commission a success. []"

TL;DR - Amadiz Beauty representatives Kate and Georg Ramensky state that they made the wig, faulty as it was, but those unsatisfied with the quality of the prize are stinking liars.
(Important note: customer service in Russia is notoriously bad, that's why Russian clients avoid using it for the most part.)

Also, Amadiz reps have a tendency to make blogposts where they heavily allude to their clients and make unsavoury comments about them, all the while pretending to be speaking "in general". They remain true to themselves in this situation as well, on one hand saying that the client shoud contact them directly, while on the other hinting that posting your personal thoughts about their product in your personal blogspace somehow makes you a hypocrite and a dishonourable person overall.

The Historical Myth 2017 winner decides she doesn't like this level of customer service with masked insults from Amadiz Beauty and forfeits the prize altogether. Amadiz Beauty refunds her to save face, but boasts about selling the prize wig to someone else, someone foreign, as it was for its full price of 149 usd. Amadiz reps claim that the foreign client was elated to buy this wig, unlike the ungrateful Russian rabble.

However, according to True BJD Confessions Tumblr, not all foreign clients of Amadiz Beauty are satisfied.

There's also a review from DOA user in the same vein.

This discussion also brought up a situation where the client explicitly forbids the publication of the photos of costume she commissioned from Amadiz Beauty, wanting to show it on her own doll first, only to see the photos posted on their blog the moment costume was completed.
Amadiz Beauty will not let you show the stuff you commissioned from them first. They will always beat you to the punch, so don't hope to wow your friends with something made by Amadiz.

▼Dollscar 2017 event prize doll is a trial product; Amadiz stalks anons of BJDLeaksBranch; second-hand owners aren't eligible for anything⬍

The second instance of the quality and customer service level also involves a prize, this time a Yolande doll by Amadiz Beauty submitted as a prize for Dollscar 2017. The Yolande doll was to be showcased for the first time ever at Dollscar as well, along with the new male body and revised female body.
The winner received the prize and left a very thorough review on Russian BJD forum, stating that they liked the doll but it didn't fit their collection and would be found a new home.
The photos of the prize here clearly show that resin the doll was made of has dirty particles (in the chest and thigh areas), weird lumps and scratches (forearms, ears, nape), either non-existent or very rough sanding (hands, toes).

IMPORTANT!
This level of quality for the prize that Amadiz Beauty themselves market as luxury item without a fault sparked another heated discussion on the anon community BJDLeaksBranch. Following that Georg Ramensky is kicked out of the BJDLeaksBranch moderating team for attempted blackmail and extortion, threats to the anon community, threats of suing, and for using his moderator position for collecting anons' personal information for persecuting and stalking them.

But following that Amadiz Beauty revises the body further and many changes are made, which in turn lead into the Magdalena controversy (more on that later).

Then, Yolande doll finds a new owner who posts a review of her own. Once again we can see the same lumps and scratches and horribly sanded fingers and toes. While enjoying the doll overall and its resin particularly, the new owner shows the foot joint that limits the doll's posability. She laments that she will need to change the feet of the Yolande doll for something else because the doll cannot stand by itself on those, either barefoot or wearing shoes. The owner considers contacting Amadiz Beauty after Kate and Georg's vacation ends about changing the feet and hands for the new, revised versions.

Unsuprisingly, Georg Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty rushes to comment in his charming passive-aggressive style.
Georg Ramensky quote, abridged:

"I am very happy to see the doll made by me in my friend list. [] It pleases me to see you note the quality of resin, the beauty of the doll and detail work, posability and joints, as it is important for me in my own dolls.
[] This doll you own was a one-off and was never part of any batch due to technical and aesthetic imperfections you mention. I never liked them and revised them as soon as I learned how to do it better. I started revisions even before the Dollscar event. And a month later Yolande mold was being sold on a revised body, with revised joints, new hands, feet, calves, and you had the opportunity to purchase the doll whose look you liked during the sales period.
Now, you obtained this doll second-hand from the Dollscar event winner, and I am sure you knew what you were buying from the winner's photos. Neither the winner nor we concealed any details, which do not even deserve to be discussed since no one else in the world has a doll like this except you. Your doll is unique.
About faulty sanding on the head and foot.
I admit that doll making is quite a new line of business for us, and we strive to learn as fast as possible to provide our clients with the best service possible. We learn fast, after 3 months from the creation of your one-off doll we already provide sanding of a much better quality for customers who order it.
About changing the parts.
Since I'm writing here as a person on vacation, I will write my honest thoughts here.
I'm the author of this doll and I sincerely love my dolls. I want them to have all the best, and to admire them either at home or on owners' photos. Of course, I am also saddened by the imperfections of your doll which was a testing sample. And, stating this, I would have gladly offered you to change all eight parts (two pairs of hands, two pairs of feet and two calves with the new joint) absolutely free of charge because I want both me and you to enjoy the doll completely. I would have gifted you even the ballet feet simply because I could spare them and they become the doll very much. I would have sent you the original box, and the new revised certificate [of authenticity], and the pretty glossy guidebook instead of the rushed works made for Dollscar when we didn't have the time.
I would have given it to you just so you could have it.
But you should have acted like an honourable person for that. And before writing about us as a "controversial firm" while we never sold you anything, you should have written me directly, via PM, something like "I bought old Yolande second-hand but I like the new hands and feet, could you help me?" and I told you what I would have replied you with.
From the firm's point of view, you should've written to our official e-mail. From the firm's point of view you purchased the old trial version of the doll, as a one-off, with the defects and imperfections that you have known about, and now you want to change the old parts for the new ones, which you never purchased. I can't recall any doll company that exchanged the doll bodies bought second-hand for their new revised ones. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Therefore, the exchange cannot be made for free. The cost of materials and our workers' time must be paid for, since the doll was provided to a completely different person as a prize for the win, and our firm cannot and must not bear responsibilty for the second-hand buyers. The warranty only covers the broken parts, and your doll doesn't have any. The doll can stand by itself, as you can see in the review of the previous owner. The doll's inability to stand in the shoes not intended for her and without the doll stand is also not an issue of it being broken.
The price for the parts you want will be provided to you by our manager, when their vacation ends, but you can look up the price of the hands and feet on our official site.
The decision is yours to make, and you can contact either me personally or the company mail."

TL;DR - Amadiz Beauty would exchange the doll parts for free but only if you prostrate yourself enough before them. Oh, and failing to do so makes you a dishonourable person.
Also, the prize submitted for the most important Russian BJD event is a "trial version" and Georg Ramensky learns how to sculpt by selling his first attempts at the high price of a finished and polished product.

The owner replies, reminding Georg about warranty terms he stated in the Historical Myth prize wig situation.
Owner's quote, abridged:

"[] I do think this doll is not bad, all her faults can be attributed to her being a trial product of your company, even as a prize.
[] I wanted to hybrid her body but I am considering leaving her as is now. But seeing the photos I could never imagine that it would have such an ill-conceived design of its feet and hands. It wasn't shown. Maybe I should've looked harder, but I'm used to buying dolls from official companies and seeing that the doll has all the fingers and toes and can stand on its own. I tried many dolls, and even though making the 5th Motif Venitu stand was a total pain, it was still incomparable with this Yolande's inability to stand. And if we're really talking here like two private individuals, I state that I couldn't care less about this particular uniqueness.
[] You declared that you're ready to make changes in accordance with the owner's/the prize winner's wishes, when the Historical Myth prize wig was discussed. If I recall correctly, you stated that warranty covers both direct buyers and second-hand buyers for 14 days period. You say that it's the course of action of any luxury firm. We have discussed this topic previously and I remember being slightly disappointed and giving up on the idea of commissioning a wig from you. But you seemed to have fulfilled your responsibilites.
[] I wrote this review in my personal blogspace and never posted it on DOA or BJDClub. [] You, on the other hand, are on vacation (I think?) and I wanted to have the doll arrival date fixed to not lose my warranty eligibility. Also, many of my acquaintances wanted me to make an honest review, and my blogspace is enough for this purpose - for now.
[] Please confirm it for me here:
- Is free warranty available only for those clients who never review the doll's imperfections and failings?
- Then, can I have the parts my doll has defects in exchanged for like parts for free? The defective parts being:
1. Hands (crude casting)
2. Feet (crude sanding, visible sanding marks)
3. Head (lump behind the ear, crude sanding marks)
4. Torso and hips (casting lumps and protuberances)
If I am eligible for warranty, then I will contact your firm after your vacation period to have hands and feet recast, this time smooth and without lumps. It will make them easier to customize.
Also, I'd like to submit this review to your Review Contest.

TL;DR - The owner recalls Amadiz Beauty providing 14 days free warranty period and wants to have faulty and crudely made parts exchanged for fault-free and smooth ones. And to be a part of the Amadiz Beauty Review Contest.

Kate Ramensky's answer to the owner's queries throws shadow on the eligibility for the Amadiz Beauty Review Contest.
Kate Ramensky quote, abridged:

"[] You can see the same foot joint in Iplehouse dolls. Even if you haven't encountered those, you could clearly see it in the Dollscar winner's unpacking photos. This joint indeed limits the movement of the foot. That's why we discarded this joint which couldn't replace the original ball joint of this line of dolls. But the doll can stand perfectly either on these flat feet or the heeled feet, which you can again see in the unpacking or the promo photos on our site. We don't acknowledge as a defect the issue of doll not standing in shoes of other companies not intended for our doll. If you have our company's shoes, you can see that the doll can even stand in heels. You cannot demand us to bear responsibility for other companies' shoes and their balance, it's absurd.[]
You didn't buy our company's doll looking at the promo photo. You bought it second-hand and if you couldn't see some defects or failings of the doll it means that the information the seller provided was insufficient, or they didn't consider that a defect. Anyways, warranty only extends to broken parts or failings which were discovered in 14 days period of receiving the product. If the winner sold the doll the next day or even a week later, it wouldn't be a problem. But what is your claim to the warranty when the original owner received the doll more than two months ago and never reported any issues? Please understand that no manufacturer, even in the luxury market, will bear the responsibility for a used product and bought second-hand.
Georg wrote the Historical Myth winner, to whose situation you appeal now, that if you behave honourably, we will help any owner of our item and we will never refuse to help them, to exchange or to remake the item. And this is what we're talking about, if you personally ask us for any help, we won't refuse you. We'll try to help and solve your problem.
But you do not ask us, you appeal to some absurd responsibilites that our company must bear for you personally when you never was and never will be our client. Your logic is absurd, because according to it, if Person A owned a doll for 3 months and then sold it to Person B with some spot on doll's head, and Person B wouldn't notice the spot on the photos they will blame the doll company. The company has no idea how Person A treated their doll and what the origin of this spot was. The company cannot know whether it was a casting mistake or the owner's treatment result.
What does your review have to do with it? Georg thanked you sincerely for it and for pointing out the doll failings even though these defects are irrelevant now since they've already been fixed. []
But our offer cannot be considered a warranty service, because our warranty only covers the lodging of a claim during the 14 days period starting from receiving the doll or item and excluding the shipping time. Any item can have many owners and as long as it still fits the warranty period, the warranty remains the same. Also, if any doll part breaks, we offer our customer a free and immediate exchange. But your issue is not of a broken part, and you personally are not our customer (or winner).
The old casting molds of Yolande were scrapped since its release because our company didn't produce the doll you own for sale and never intended to. Therefore you cannot exchange the hands and feet for like parts. We do offer you the initial solution while not accepting it as a warranty case, no matter how offended that could make you.
The head, torso and hips sanding, that you suddenly mentioned (and I understand why), can only be done if you send us the whole doll back for checking and casting of the new parts which would have to be colour checked for your particular doll.
You cannot take part in our Review Contest, unfortunately, since only the clients who bought the dolls directly from our company can take part in it, it's not a contest for owners of second-hand prize doll, never publicly released."

TL;DR - Amadiz Beauty provides free warranty of their dolls. Except it doesn't. And if you got your doll second-hand, boohoo, you're totally out of luck, because Kate and Georg Ramensky will blame previous owners to ditch their responsibilites.

Funny how their Contest ad says "all who possess dolls of our company", no mention of second-hand owners exclusion.

▼The case of Dollscar 2017 prize doll continuation, Amadiz Beauty tries to weasel out of providing warranty service, both sides talk of legal actions⬍

The owner thanks Kate for her answer and says that since the original winner got the doll and made photos of her, she (current owner) wrote them and reserved the doll. The doll was packed and awaited the money transfer that came a month later. It was only unpacked again when the current owner got it, so it was not used, played with or customized in any way in that month's period.
The owner appeals to Amadiz reps' own words about them admitting their mistakes and wonders how she suddenly became "not a client" and a persona non grata for writing her honest review and choosing to wait with contacting the firm during its vacation period. The owner also wonders about Amadiz Beauty’s idea of ethics and how it allows the company to provide prizes they themselves later call "defective" and "trial products".
She also appeals to the Review Contest rules which do not exclude any Amadiz Beauty dolls owners and do not differentiate them.
Georg Ramensky replies, repeating the same song about current owner being "not a client", and calling his doll both a play-doll and an artist doll and offering his personal help instead of admitting his company's responsibilities.
The owner declines the offer of personal help and demands an official answer from the doll company. She also explicitly forbids Amadiz Beauty reps to mention her and her case even in passing in their personal blog, which they tend to do with all of their clients they have issues with.
Georg's lengthy answer to this is (abridged):

[] I will once again repeat my wife's words and mine. You didn't buy this doll with its particular set of options from our company because no one sold it to you. You bought it second-hand from the Dollscar event winner, with the options and doll condition they offered and paid the sum they wanted.
Since then two months had passed. Any claims to the warranty had to be lodged in the 14 days period by whoever owned the doll during that time. If the doll parts are broken, our company accepts claims from our direct customers for a long time.
The old joint system and feet/hands design, however you dislike them, are not an issue of broken parts and not a warranty case. This engineering design is not and will not be used by our company in any of the ordered dolls. The doll can stand perfectly on its own as you can see in the first unpacking.
We recognize as casting defects bubbles on the outer surfaces, lack of resin and unevenly coloured spots. Seam sanding marks and seams themselves are not a defect, the same as with other BJD companies.
Therefore, your case is not a warranty case.
Since your art doll is unique and is not the same as the current versions sold and sent to our clients (since Yolande mold was never sold on the old type body), you cannot take part in the Review Contest, especially since you're not the company's client. This Contest is for the purpose of getting reviews of our current doll version, received directly from the firm and intended for our immediate clients. Any other Contests for our doll owners will be available to you though.
If only you bought the doll directly from us, you could get all the options, revisions, Contests eligibility and whatnot. But that is not your case.
But, we, as the doll's authors, offer you our free and personal help in following issues:
- exchange of the old feet, hands and calves for the new parts and colour match them.
- smooth out sanding marks so the doll could be enjoyed by you and us fully.
- gift you the ballet feet.
- send you the official box and doll documents for the current version of the doll.
We have offered to discuss it privately via PM. []
If you want the firm's official answer, you can contact our official mail, as do all of our clients, although you're not our direct client, since you didn't buy anything from us and do not plan to buy anything in the future. The cost of doll parts will be sent to you after 18th of September, when the firm's vacation ends. []"

TL;DR - Georg Ramensky makes it a point to differentiate himself from his firm, and stating that while the firm won't accept a warranty case, he himself will be ever so kind and actually change the doll parts in question. Is there any sense to that? Not really.

The owner appeals to Russian laws of consumer protection which differentiate the periods of lodging warranty claims, returns and the product's lifespan. Amadiz Beauty’s certificate of authenticity only covers the return period duration and says nothing about lodging warranty claims period OR the product's lifespan. According to Russian laws, the warranty claims period for this type of item is 2 years. And since the firm is also the manufacturer of the doll, the product's lifespan is set to 10 years. All this is time for the current product owner, whether they're the second owner or the twenty-second one, during which they have a right to demand fixes or exchange for the like product from the manufacturer.
Stating this, the owner refuses any offers of personal help from Georg, and wants the doll parts fixed as the laws oblige.

You'd think it could be still resolved here to both sides' satisfaction. But no, Amadiz Beauty won't accept a peaceful solution if it means they have to swallow their baseless pride and apologize.
Instead, they make a blogpost about their own interpretation of Russian consumer protection laws, sparking another discussion with the current owners and banning those users who don't agree with them.
They also threaten that, if legal action is taken, Georg Ramensky will claim that the Dollscar prize was submitted by him personally as a private artist, which would make the Dollscar organizer (BJDClub owner) as well as the prize winner responsible for the doll provenance and for selling the doll without paying the necessary taxes. So, Amadiz Beauty reps not only ditch their responsibilities, they also want to make innocent people responsible for their mess. And, as a cherry on the top, Georg claims that the current owner is a swindler because she asks for something he doesn’t want to do.
Georg, I'm sorry, but you're wrong on many levels here.

According to Russian laws, if Georg does make that claim, it would mean that - from legal point of view, he committed a forgery of the Amadiz Company doll, and submitted it as an individual, unlawfully obtaining or forging the doll's COA issued by the company as one of the proofs of manufacture in accordance with Russian government standards.

▼Materials Amadiz Beauty uses for clothes they sell; the tailor's privacy violated by Georg Ramensky⬍

The tailor who previously worked for Amadiz Beauty tells about the working conditions and the materials the Studio owners Georg and Kate Ramensky used for sewing outfits for sale.
Amadiz Beauty hired people with no sewing experience and violated Russian employment acts by not employing the workers officially. The sewing process' priority was "We don't care about anything as long as it looks good in the photo". The clash of working ethics was one of the reasons the tailor left the firm, being fed up with having to work only for the sake of photos, with inexplicable deadlines, and with subpar materials.

The tailor claims that some lingerie sets were made out of Kate's old sweaty blouse, and the Etsy sold mint skirts were made out of old pillowcases, which were also used for soaking up water when the pipes in the office leaked. The tailor begged Georg and Kate to purchase new and clean materials, only to be fed excuses about keeping deadlines and them being too busy to actually go and buy fabric. "You'll have to make do", the Amadiz reps told the tailor.

They did purchase the expensive fabric and materials. But considering that they also brought several bags of fabric from their home, fabric that was covered in cat fur and had a cat smell, what are the chances that the outfit you bought from Amadiz Beauty, a luxury-priced outfit, was actually made out of a new fabric? Not extremely high.

The working conditions for sewing were also subpar, because Georg liked to create chaos in the working room, by messing up the stored fabrics and cut patterns, and spilling glue on the work table among other things. This sometimes created plucks in the thin fabrics, to which Georg replied "So what, it's part of the creative process".

The main reason the tailor left Amadiz Beauty was that the reps did not respect other people's personal boundaries. Georg Ramensky thinks it's absolutely okay to read other people's private and personal mail, and to comment on the subjects he read without permission. Even now, he continues to stalk the tailor and keeps writing lies that all of the outfits' recent problems are the tailor's fault.

TL;DR - Georg Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty WILL read your personal mail without permission, WILL make you a scapegoat, and WILL sew you a luxury-priced outfit out of second-hand fabric.

▼Amadiz Beauty dolls resin choice - Task9⬍

According to their official site, Amadiz Beauty uses Smooth-on's Task resin for their dolls, particularly Task9.
While seemingly okay, it's not the smartest choice for a doll maker.

First, these resins have great hardness which means greater weight. According to Amadiz Beauty's site, their doll weighs 1,5 kg and that means that the resin parts are no more than a couple millimeters thin. It's very risky for big hollow parts such as doll torso, since they would shatter like glass if they ever fall. For the doll to have safe thickness of parts, it has to weigh about twice the stated weight, about 3 kg.

Second, most resin dolls, when they fall on a hard surface, get dents or small scratches which could be relatively easy to sand. But Task9 resin would get a big chip or a through-the-thickness crack from the same hard surface contact. Such defects would be impossible to repair. Also, if you try to bend a Task9 detail, it will most probably break. In case of a ball-jointed doll it means that all of its joints are its weak parts and will be prone to chipping. Also, the joints will soon polish themselves to glass smoothness with usage and friction.

Dolls made out of Task9 resin will also be difficult to customize. The resin surface is too dense and won't hold the pastels or the sealer well. It might be less reliable than our usual BJD face-ups and blushing. They will also have slight translucency to them, since Task9 is a clear amber resin made to be colourized.

During casting, Task9 is a fussy material and may create a lot of bubbles inside the doll part which could make the parts less durable and more difficult to modify. Task9 part may shatter if you try to drill it.
With time, things made out of Task9 resin tend to discolour in an ugly fashion and may get sticky.

For examples of dolls made from Task9 and what becomes of them, please look up Mooqla.
Please note that most doll makers and Russian doll makers in particular have abandoned Task9 as the resin choice and prefer SmoothCast resin. DollsheCraft is one of the examples of SmoothCast resin dolls with their Honey skintones.

▼The Magdalena controversy⬍

Amadiz Beauty showcased their very first doll Magdalena in December 2016. The reception was mixed at first, but the doll found some fans and several people considered ordering her, especially after seeing the doll in person at Historical Myth 2017 Moscow BJD event where she was showcased in a Harley Quinn outfit and face-up.

Then, the doll in a Harley Quinn outfit and face-up was also present at Dollscar 2017 Moscow event at Amadiz Beauty's stand, and the studio reps Georg and Kate accepted orders for Magdalena doll from those people who didn't get to order her during the pre-order period.

Some time later, Amadiz Beauty wrote about changing the size of Magdalena head slightly - but the reps only wrote this in a locked blogpost, unavailable to general readers without subscription to their blog.

But it soon turned out that "resizing" of the head was "creation of a different mold" instead, and because of Harley Quinn's bright and colourful face-up the clients who ordered the doll at Dollscar event didn't see the difference and thought they were ordering the original Magdalena doll.
The clients were greatly surpised to see how different the doll slated for shipping was from the original promo and the Historical Myth one.

▼The comparison photo, original one on the left, revised one on the right⬍

Amadiz Beauty representatives claimed that all the clients saw the Magdalena doll at Dollscar and ordered her knowingly, seeing the mold changes. When the outraged clients objected and insisted on getting the original Magdalena instead of the revised one, Georg Ramensky tried to prove that the clients knew about the change and wanted the new one. After his subscribers kept insisting, he wrote that he contacted all of the Magdalena buyers and offered them a choice between the original Magdalena and the revised one.

We saw no indication or discussion on DOA about the Magdalena head change or any deliberations. It's no proof that Amadiz Beauty didn't send out the choice letter, but also not a proof that they did.

All the while Georg Ramensky kept insisting that all the clients knew and knowingly chose the revised Magdalena head, sparking suspisions that the original Magdalena doll was not made by him.
Seeing how different Magdalena and Virginia are from the later Amadiz Beauty dolls Yolande and Magdalena New there's a lingering suspision of the first two dolls being made by someone else - but when the shipping out time had come, something happened with the original molds which made Georg redo the heads altogether making Magdalena New a completely different sculpt.
It is only a suspision and there is no direct proof, but Georg is very reluctant about casting the original Magdalena and keeps promoting the revised Magdalena New head, and also revised Virginia mold to the point of complete irrecognizability.

▼Revised Virginia on male body⬍

The disturbing part here is that Amadiz Beauty keeps all the revisions in secret and who knows what doll the clients would actually get.

TL;DR - Amadiz Beauty present Magdalena at one event cosplaying as Harley Quinn, they present revised Magdalena New in the same cosplay outfit at another event, insisting that the clients who ordered the original Magdalena ordered the Magdalena New one insted. All the revisions and changes were secret.

▼Amadiz Beauty: Faked doll sculptor Georgy Ramensky⬍

CEO of company Amadiz Beauty Georgy Ramesky officially presents himself as the one and only sculptor of Amadiz Beauty dolls. This was indicated on the company's official website:
https://www.amadiz-studio.com/single-po … ach-Of-You
https://www.amadiz-studio.com/single-po … dalena-New

▼screenshots⬍

But there are strong cases for suspicions that this information is a fraud, and Georgy Ramensky is not the real author of the dolls. He just bought from other people a ready-made 3D model, in which he makes his own adjustments, presented it as the MM and casted it.

On one russian website for making 3D models for sale was found ready-made model which seems very similar to one of Amadiz Beauty dolls, Magdalena. Approximate cost is 17$. Proof link: http://3dtoday.ru/market/games/toys/sha … e_sustavy/
Also here is comparison between head of 3D model and head of Amadiz Beauty Magdalena:

▼heads comparison⬍

Faces seems almost identical, but with some adjustments which are easy to make in program for 3D modeling. These adjustments are so insignificant that could be made even at the 3D-printing stage.

This website with ready-made 3D models http://3dtoday.ru has its own public in russian social network VKontakte: https://vk.com/3dtoday. Georgy Ramensky is among members:

The other member is Ivan Plastmaska (https://vk.com/i_plastmaska), which has his own 3D-modeling company and is befriended with Georgy Ramensky:

On the Instagram Ivan also has some suspicious photos:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BWRtJqTgbj4 … plastmaska

▼screenshot⬍

As seen above, it's reasonable to suppose that this ready-made model with minor adjustments is Magdalena itself and Georgy Ramensky is not a real doll sculptor. The confirmation of this fact is also the lack of WIP photos of sculpt modeling from Amadiz Beauty. Georgy never wrote about doll production project anywhere and didn't show primary or mid-stages of sculpting but at one moment demonstrated finished result of hard and complex process of doll-making. Georgy Ramensky has no suitable core education and he never worked in sculpting or 3D modeling, but dolls from Amadiz Beauty doesn't seem to be newbie works.
Also, there are mistakes in face anatomy, typical for people with lack of basic knowledge about sculpture, who corrects someone else's ready-made base. That fact also confirms the possibility of purchasing of ready-made 3D model.

▼Amadiz Beauty's Georg Ramensky possibly not the sculptor of the doll⬍

Georg Ramensky of Amadiz Beauty claims to be the sole sculptor of the firm, which is stated on their official site, while, in fact, he bought a pre-made 3D model of a BJD from a different author (3D maker Ivan Plastmaska) and only tweaked it a little.
The original model was freely available for purchase for a small sum of 1000 rub (about 17-20 usd).
See the link to the 3D model here.

The other member is Ivan Plastmaska (https://vk.com/i_plastmaska), which has his own 3D-modeling company and is befriended by Georg Ramensky.

▼Screenshot of their Friends page⬍

On the Instagram Ivan also has photos of doll parts closely resembling the Magdalena parts.

▼Screenshot of Ivan's Instagram photo⬍

Georg made some changes to the purchased model which became the first Original Magdalena doll, now marketed as Magdalena Old.
He changed the eyes area and made lips fuller. Also, the rear area of the body seems to be enlarged in comparison to the original 3D model.
The nose and the ears are the exact same shape as the purchased 3D model, which was confirmed by the original 3D sculptor.

▼The comparison photo⬍

▼Sideview overlay⬍

▼Transition GIF of the original 3D model and Amadiz's Magdalena Old⬍

After tweaking the 3D model of the doll, Georg presented it as a master model of his entirely new and completely unique doll, and casted it. The adjustments to the original model are so insignificant that they could be made even at the 3D-printing stage.

The WIP photos of the Magdalena seem to be faked to appear genuine, with smears of Magic Sculpt on the cast doll. There are no colour photos of the process, also, there never were any other WIP photos, no primary or mid-stages of sculpting with rougher or different shapes that could allow to trace Georg's creative process of the doll making.

Georg never wrote about the doll making project anywhere prior to unveiling his almost completed Magdalena doll, and while he doesn't have relevant education or sculpting or 3D modeling experience, the dolls from Amadiz Beauty don't seem to be newbie works. On the other hand they show mistakes in face anatomy typically made by people lacking basic sculpting knowledge when they try to mess with a ready-made base provided by someone else.

All the abovementioned facts point strongly to the possibility of Georg Ramensky purchasing a ready-made 3D model and minutely adjusting it to pass as his own creation.

Hello there- could anybody give me their experience about amadiz-wigs? am struggeling to get a wig there and am not quite sure if i should get an existing (see the Picture) or a custom one (with deeper pink on top)... hope you can share your experience with me. In case of custom orders- did it look like you expected?
Jana Ha I never ordered a wig from then but I heard stories that the pictures are heavy photoshopped and one story that a wig that not fits the doll they where supposed to do.

Kaci Danielle Peach
I personally haven't ordered from them but had been considering purchasing one- but after seeing a lot of reviews for their wigs I'm on the fence. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews. It seems some people have really good experiences with them, but some people have absolutely awful experiences with them. There was just a thread about someone getting a wig that looked nothing like the picture(&someone else posting their wig on that thread that was supposed to be the same color & style & both looked completely different & nothing like the original pictured wig). But I've also seen pictures of people's wigs that are AMAZING & absolutely perfect which makes me want one. I'm not sure why there seems to be such a discrepancy, it seems the more recent orders have had a lot of problems(wrong colors, style looks nothing like the pictured wig, colors that fade extremely quickly, wigs that shed & have major fallout, style not staying intact/becoming 'ratty' very quickly, etc), compared to the older reviews which were more positive.
I definitely suggest doing TONS of research before spending that much on one of their wigs to see if you're comfortable with the wide range of reviews. They're very expensive wigs, & when they look like the advertised wig- they're definitely beautiful, though the wigs I've personally seen sent out lately do not look like the advertised wig or the color swatches provided, sometimes they're kinda similar(as in the colors are the same colors, i.e. purple/purple- not the same shade i.e. lavender being dark purple, the styles are sloppy versions of the advertised style), but as a cosmetologist if I did someone's hair with the discrepancy shown with these wigs lately it would not be acceptable.

Jessica Whitehall
I've heard nothing but bad about them lately, wrong colors and wigs that shed and fade really quick that look nothing like the pictures.

Elizabeth Gallant
Personally I wouldn't order from them. I have a wig by them and it's OK however their customer service is not great. I never got photos before shipment so I had no idea what the custom wig looked like. One of the owners George told me that I was supposed to request photos (not true?) And they only do photos for etsy orders not website orders (wtf?). I then called them on their lie since I have a close friend who got photos of her wigs by them and she ordered on the website. They were like "well our bad it's already shipped have a 20% off coupon for your next purchase". The wig arrived but the colors are not as expected. I still like it but honestly I don't think it's worth $115. I got nothing but attitude from them when I explained my sadness about not getting photos. ALSO the wig is too big ?
Fabiana Palmieri
Too pricey for the sloppy work they do. Some one of their wigs IRL and I swear I thought it was one of thosw cheap looking wigs you can buy on ebay....
Fern Bay
Never really like amadiz because they are quite bias?? they seen quite slezy.?
I saw one of their wigs before though and it looked nice althought it didnt fit the doll head properly. Was small for her even though they said it was her size so the owner had to give it to another doll. Their sizes run really small so...
Have alot of doll heads!

Kavarr Damian
I have received several beautiful wigs from Amadiz and find both George and Kate very friendly to deal with. All the wigs fit perfectly as well. I also saw the picture posted from a person who did not like the colour they got as it was darker than the picture and after seeing the post they said they would make another wig for them. I would recommend them as they are very beautiful and good quality.

Alena Hale Glen
I'd get one to try and see for myself. But get one already made and photographed for this sale. Don't make custom order from stock photo

Lynz Clarke
I have had multiple experiences with them and I'm not sure I would recommend or not. I don't like discouraging people so take this with it being my review only.

Her wigs are over priced. Period. Good alpaca is great and pricey and that's fine, but she uses a lot of mixed fibers so it's a ton of money for not pure alpaca. The result is a wig that isn't the softest too. Her wigs are very thick, very poofy, so prepare for that.
I have had both a completely custom wig and an in stock wig experience. The custom was a disaster. The colors were not what I wanted and the dye work was extremely sloppy. But keep in mind this wig was pretty custom.

If you get one or two colors on a wig and you want that full bodied hair look then hell yeah. Go for it. You will love their wigs. If you want some braids or fancy hair styles I would recommend them, but I would also take it as a general braid style since their braids have been known to come out differently too. They do good work, but not for the price.

I don't recommend custom unless it's a simple color or fade. But I would get one and try it for yourself.

Also I have never heard anything about wigs not fitting. If anything mine were a little big, but they fit great

Im writing this review, but my tastes are also different. I prefer natural looking hair. Natural colors, good silky alpaca, simple styles. My favorite wig makers would probably be people like fantyfoo, her work is literally perfect but she doesn't even charge as much as Amadiz. So.... It's up to you. The only other person I know who charges as much or more than Amadiz is eclipse21 and her wigs are pure alpaca (as far as I know) and amazing.
Jana Ha
I wouldn't say overcharging. Amadiz and Eclipse21 charge for all work hours a fair amount the other don't do that.
Just my two cents to the pricing.
Lynz Clarke
I get the work hours thing, but I'm not sure how much that matters when the product at the end is less than satisfactory for a lot of people. Eclipse and Amadizs final product is vastly different in quality
Jana Ha
Yes, thats true but Quality is always a different thing not just at the bjd hobby. You can buy a chocolate between 50 cent and 10 €. The one for 10 € coud taste horrible if the manufactor doesnt care about quality of the ingredients.

Indi Walter I've heard bad reviews of custom orders but I'm not sure how much of that is their photo editing
Katie Mulligan
I had a great experience with Amadiz, and the wig is one of my favorites. You can see there's a slight color difference between the production photo (left) and my photo (right), but the wig IS very vibrant and looked like the style in the photo right out of the box.
https://scontent.fvno3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/ … e=5B57C979
Fern Bay
I dont think it looks like the wig at all.
Katie Mulligan
Well I'm using a crappy camera so the colors in mine look duller. Also mine's in outdoor light and the Amadiz one is in a studio. But my initial reaction on pulling it out of the package was, OMG, it looks exactly like the photo!
Shannon Williams
I think it actually looks quite similar, just more poofier and more dull because obviously the wig maker took their photo in professional lighting to make it look shiny and whatnot.
Katie Mulligan
It's very shiny! Here's one taken with flash that shows it better.
https://scontent.fvno3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/ … e=5B940C9E
Katie Mulligan I have seen instances where the wig colors looked drastically different from the photo (or when it seemed like different colors were used than custom ones chosen). You need to keep in mind that there are variations in dyed natural fibers like this, and things change even more when you're making a wig in a smaller size than the one shown. My only real gripe against Amadiz is that I know of one case where they shipped a custom wig without sending the buyer photos first and allowing them to say yes or no. I agree with the poster above that custom wigs can be kind of a crapshoot, especially complicated color combos.
Sharon Harmon
I have several from them and just ordered another last night. Every one of them has been EXACTLY as shown. They are fabulous! Their customer service is excellent. If I didn't like their work and trust them I would not have ordered yet another $150+ wig. Size 4
Jessica Grey
Jessica Grey A friend of mine ordered one and she was not happy as well, but hers was a custom one. From another one I heared, that the wig was .... stinky? like perfume? is that true?
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Never had a bad experience with them.And my wigs never smell like anything other than just clean.
Jessica Grey
Jessica Grey is there a thread on DOA where I can check experiences? I did not find it
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Here is one of the wigs.

Jessica Grey
Jessica Grey is it a hardcap or bit softer? just got a wig of Kagami and it was like a helmet
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon A bit softer.
Jessica Grey
Jessica Grey cause... is it stretchy then like on Monique and so?
Katie Mulligan
Katie Mulligan Mine is a soft cap. The wefts are stitched onto a mesh wigcap with elastic around the edge.
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Maybe because this one is tiny.
Katie Mulligan
Katie Mulligan The cap itself is not that stretchy, but the back edge is.
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Isabeau has a magnet imbedded in her headcap but the Amadzi wig stays on even without a magnet.
Katie Mulligan
Katie Mulligan Wait, I'm wrong... There is actually elastic all the way around the wig. It's not super stretchy elastic, but it lets the cap grip and provides a little give. The mesh of the cap itself is not stretchy.

Eli Llama Beans
Eli Llama Beans My serenity wig is perfect in every way. Soft, and so nicely styled. I'm waiting on 2 more, and plan to buy 2 others in the future. I haven't ordered custom, though.
Also... these styled wigs are definitely for display only; i wouldn't use the wigs for extended play. A few photos and stuff. But i definitely wouldn't do anything crazy.
I personally love them. They are a little pricey, but I'm happy with my wig

Hello, guys! Someone has ordered from Amadiz in the past? How long is the waiting time for the wig?

Nicole Richter yes, i did. it depends on the wig and how many orders they have. could be a long time waiting for your wig. arround 2 till 4 month are normal plus shipping.

Hadley James
Hadley James 3 months for the wig. But use caution. Amadiz wigs often do not resemble the photos. My wig was nice... but it was not what I ordered.

Alicia Fernández
Alicia Fernández I've had my fair share of disappointment with natural fiber wigs too! To be honest, there're some wig makers that I don't understand how they've gotten the reputation they have

Sandra Dee
Sandra Dee Alicia Fernández and their prices are not worth the money. I ended up dyeing a wig cause amadiz was just able to send me a kind of splisse my hair my mainecoone gives you when you cromb him
Alicia Fernández
Alicia Fernández Aw, what a shame. I had placed my order before my last encounter with crappy handmade wigs... I think I'll keep to Monique wigs from now on.

Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Alicia Fernández It's not true, Sandra Dee sold this wig for $176, and Sonia Insua who bought it is very happy with it. I'm sorry that Sandra is so angry at us that she writes only unpleasant things everywere, but I believe that this will not interfere with my work. I will continue to try my best for my clients so that they are happy.
Sandra Dee
Sandra Dee I think I can share my experience here. And it was bad. I ordered this wig to like it and not to sell it. And it did not turn out like I wanted. People asked for experience and those I wished to share. And if i wrote unpleasent things everywhere I would have wrote on DOA as well. And it´s non of your business if I sell that wig or eat it or just throw away or burn it down. It was not like the pictures. It was not nice. It was like splissy hair and not the style i wished to have it. and the first pics you sent had nothing to do with what i wished to have. So if you can not deal with critics... not my issue

Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Sandra Dee A beautiful and neat wig was made for you, but you did not like it, it happens, all people are different. You could tell us that you are unhappy and we would refund your money when you received your wig. I'm very glad that you sold this wig and new owner is happy and her doll is very beautiful in it. I do not hold a grudge against you and I really regret that our cooperation did not satisfy you, although we tried very hard.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Dear Hadley James you can always write to us if you are not satisfied with our work. Unfortunately, I did not do your wig by myself, but it is very important for me that you are happy, I am always ready to help you. Since end of September, I do all the wigs with my own hands, in order to be able to bear full responsibility for everything that is done under our brand.

Eli Llama Beans
Eli Llama Beans Well I completely disagree. All 4 of my Amadiz wigs were very well worth the money. Georgy keeps in touch, especially once I told him that my inquiries are never intended to rush my order, as I've noticed a lot of people complain about how long their wigs take.
All 4 of my wigs were well worth the money spent, and the time waiting.
It's obvious to me that Kate puts a lot of heart into her wigs, especially since she hand makes them just for you. Amadiz is not a mass production company. They are 2 lovely people working hard to make us beautifully styled wigs that can't really be found in mass production.
Nicole Richter
Nicole Richter I ordered one wig and I am still happy with this. So I can not say something negative about Amadiz Studio. It is well done, nice quality and the colours are still the same as they were when I got the wig

Zozie Brown I loved the wigs I received but after 2 years they have both faded quite a bit. The black one is grey now, and the red one is brown. They wouldn't assist me when I asked them about it. Said I've got to pay $90 to fix it. I think lighter colours might be safest with Amadiz?
Zozie Brown
Zozie Brown Unfortunately yeah... very frustrating! That being said, they did take on a number of special orders for me so I felt bad complaining.

Max Meiselmaus
Max Meiselmaus Sounds as though they aren't using the proper dyes. Semi permanents will fade over time and with light exposure (I know to my cost, with all my fibre experimenting). They should be using something like acid dye, which is much more robust.
Zozie Brown
Zozie Brown Yeah you're probably right. It's very annoying when you pay so much for something, just to have it change completely over time.

Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Dear Zozie Brown I found your correspondence with the r. I'm sorry that you received such an answer. Please send your wigs and we will fix any problems for free. Now I make all the wigs myself and are fully responsible for the quality. It is important for me that you like our work.
Zozie Brown
Zozie Brown Thanks very much for your response, Kate, I really appreciate it Don't worry, I actually don't mind the colour they are now. I have replaced the wigs for the dolls I needed them for so all is well. You have done some lovely work for me and this didn't ruin my judgement of your products– I think it was likely just the colours I picked.

Zozie Brown
Zozie Brown Thanks for that, Kate– I really appreciate your contact. I would still buy from you, because the styling was lovely on both wigs. I'm sure I could fix them, but I don't mind too much. I have replaced the wigs and put them on different characters so no need to worry

Kensie Jack Speaking from experience with natural fiber wig making, I have no idea why Amadiz doesn’t just use synthetic hair. The look in their photos is very similar to that anyway, and they are basically false advertising since the style will never, ever stick for long on natural fiber. I give curls a good week of standard picking up your dolls and ‘playing’ before they’ve completely fallen out. The natural curl pattern of the fiber is a different story of course, but will sometimes need to be washed to be reset, and braids and stuff like that will hold for longer because it’s a fixed style, but it will grow to look sloppy. It’s like if you left your hair in curls from an iron and expected it to last forever. I don’t know if they’ve never kept a wig for long or if their dolls stay in a glass cabinet or something, but it makes no sense to make a styled wig in mohair. For 95% of collectors it will grow to look like crap at no fault of their own. ?
Jude Olson
Jude Olson I completely agree with heat set styles, they will eventually fall out. However, in my experience with alpaca wet set styles stay a lot longer! Alpaca will hold any position it dries in to very well. Even over time and playing with it! So there is hope for natural fiber wigs. ?
Kensie Jack
Kensie Jack Jude Olson Oh that’s true!! I don’t have a ton of experience with wet setting but that’s great info to keep in mind. I do hope that’s how they style their wigs for the sake of the longevity.

Lyz Rovira I've never ordered custom wigs from them, and probably never will. Every single person that I know who has done so has been incredibly dissatisfied with the customer service, the wait, and having the product NOT look the way it was commissioned to look.

However, I have purchased an in-stock wig that they listed and I got EXACTLY what I wanted, and very swiftly.
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner OMG YES, you´re so right. The promo pics are really photoshopped! The work is maybe otherwise okay and nice, but sorry, in my case the worst. The wigs in stock could be okay, and I think long-hair wigs are good to. But I ordered a custom Sherlock wig and was very disappointed. :( sadly.

Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Alex Tate Meißner To ensure that our customers are confident that all our promos are real, my husband shoots numerous videos with our wigs. You can see them on our page: https://www.facebook.com/amadizstudio You made an order almost 3 years ago, a lot has changed since then. My experience has grown and technology has improved. I really will be happy to help you with your Sherlock wig so that your doll is beautiful, and you are happy.

Kelli Loki Chapman It’s good to know all these things, I just received my custom order of my Sebastian wig and am generally happy with it.

Wendy Neiderhiser
Wendy Neiderhiser I have alpaca wigs from moderately vivid and I’ve had zero issues with the color staying true. There are good wig makers. Don’t give up!!
Kelli Loki Chapman
Kelli Loki Chapman right? ? my wig was from Amadiz and I’m pretty happy with it ^^
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Thank you for this amazing photo! I tried very hard on this custom wig for you and really happy that he likes you. ?

Kelli Loki Chapman
Kelli Loki Chapman It shows! I love how it feels and the cut is perfect for him! ?

Kirsty Lyle Around 2 to 4 months. I ordered mine in August and it's been shipped now. :3 I heard mixed reviews. I ordered one from their etsy shop so hopefully it will be fine I've admired their wigs for a long time now.

Gigi Szili I ordered from them one wig as their photos were always amazing. I ordered a wavy Sailor Neptune wig in Lati Yellow size, and added many photos to my request. The first photos of the wig were disappointing not that wavy hair what I was expecting according the previous Amadiz photos and the photos I provided. I asked for definite waves, showed more photos to be very exact. The second batch of photos were okay-ish but I realised that the wig will be no more similar to the wig I wanted. I waited more than what they said (if I remember correctly it was 4 months but I am not 100% sure) but eventually I got my wig. The first weird thing was tiny coloured dried glue like bits falling off the wig and coloured our hands, but it was not that visible on the first day. My doll was still at the Spa, but when she arrived with a brand new Pearls of Danube face up I opened my wig's box and the tiny turquoise bits were all over the box (but I only realise the bits after I removed her wigs from the head) so the wig was less than 1 minutes on the head and I wanted to change her clothes when I saw a clear and visible round mark on her whole head where the wig touched her. Her brand new and expensive face up was ruined by vivid turquoise marks. I was crying, couldn't remove the colour from the face and this is when I realised those bits in the box. Eventually I sent back the wig and got my refund, but I won't order from them anymore. I am happy with Sophy Molly's wigs, and I am sticking with her.
Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Oh no. Sounds like you went through a nightmare :( sorry to hear this hun. I'll keep this in mind when my wig arrives

Lyz Rovira
Lyz Rovira I remember when this happened! It was HORRIFYING! I didn't realize it was an Amadiz wig that was to blame!

Gigi Szili
Gigi Szili I am sure they can do the perfect wig as they had these amazing photos, but yeah I think I can show the WIP photos...

Kelli Loki Chapman
Kelli Loki Chapman omg D: idk I’d be very disappointed with it too!
Gigi Szili
Gigi Szili I was very specific about the waves I wanted, however I am sure it was a busy time to them so I was not on the priority list. I would be okay with it and would try to curl it but the discoloring and the glue bits were scary :( and it ruined my expensive face up.. :(

Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle The wig looks pretty but i would be disappointed too. Oh no, i would be pissed if it ruined a face up. :'( >:(

Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Dear Gigi! I am always ready to ask you for forgiveness for this situation, it was the most terrible of all that happened to us. It was very painful and sad that our doll was hurt because of us, but I'm glad you could fix it. I sincerely sympathize with you and understand your insult, but I can do nothing more than apologize again. Thanks to you, we learned about the problem with a bad dye and could solve it.
Gigi Szili
Gigi Szili Thank you Kate. That is the silver lining that you have improved of that. It is very important for the future business. And your stock photos are always pristine there is no doubt in that. X

Alex Tate Meißner Was sadly not happy with Amadiz work. Custom wig came out very bad. Package was not good, just wrapped in a kitchen paper. Wig lost hair pieces, so I had to glue. I was very disappointed. Should be a Sherlock wig, I don't know, what ist is now. Just ...no. -_- Amadiz promo pics are good and maybe the long hair wigs are good. But promo pics are promo pics. Photoshopped.
Willeke Faas
Willeke Faas I tried to have them make me a custom wig for a doll cosplay a few years back. But im so happy that it did not go thru. They did not respond to my message
Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Thats rude of them to not respond... :(
Willeke Faas
Willeke Faas Yeah , but im happy now
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Kirsty Lyle I admit that this could happen, we had different rs in these years and dozens of letters a day. If you have not received a response, then this is an accident. And I can only apologize for this. Now my husband Georgy Ramensky is leading the whole correspondence, he also creates dolls, sometimes he answers for a long time, but he tries very hard.

Elizabeth Gallant Please do not give them your business. They have the customer service skills of a feral cat. ? apparently asking for photos of a finished custom wig is unheard of and they were total jerks to me. I will never give them my money again! Edit: they had already shipped the wig and never sent me photos. Then claimed they never send photos from website orders of custom work? Which is a lie. Then offered me a stupid coupon because I wasn't happy I wasn't able to see my wig before it shipped :/
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Your case has taught us a lot. Now we send photos to customers always on site and Etsy, we did not do it on the site. Now we coordinate each photo with customers. I'm sorry that you were upset that you did not receive a photo of your site order, although you liked the wig and you made beautiful photos in it.
Elizabeth Gallant
Elizabeth Gallant Kate Ramensky yet many friends of mine received photos of their wigs without issues when they ordered from your website. The wig was OK. The colors were not as expected and your customer service has room for improvement.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Elizabeth Gallant It's true, before we did not send photos of ordinary wigs ordered on our site, they became too much and it became very difficult. But we always sent photos of wigs, if they were ordered in custom colors. Maybe that's why many of your friends received photos. I'm really sorry that it was you who did not get the photo and for you it was so important. We have fixed this mistake, and from that day we send photos of ready wigs to all our customers. It helped us, thanks to you we improved our service. Your honest feedback is very important for us, we are always grateful for it.
Elizabeth Gallant
Elizabeth Gallant It was a custom wig nothing ordinary which is why photos should always be sent if it's a custom order. ? I've never worked with anyone in the 10 years I've been in the hobby that did custom work and didn't send photos before shipment. It's just unheard of. I'm glad you take these complaints seriously and I appreciate you replying to my review. I have since sold the wig second hand because I was so disappointed in it. So I just moved on. Just wanted to share my experience.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky We always acknowledge our mistakes, but the most important is that we correct them. Only in this way our service can remain quality, and our customers are satisfied. We are glad that you were among them. Thank you ?

Alex Tate Meißner Bad-experience: Here ist my custom Sherlock wig reference - as you can see the promo pic on left side and my wig on the right side. Wig on my Sherlocks hat down below.

Elizabeth Gallant Omg D:

Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Seeing all these reviews, making me doubt my own incoming wig. Sorry you had to go through this. Thats terrible
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Kirsty Lyle I wish you all the best for your wig.

Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Thanks, once I get, I will share photos. Just praying it will turn out okis. Paid a lot for it. X_X
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Kirsty Lyle Oh yes please.
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Here is my Sherlock with the ordered custom Sherlock curls wig. The thing is big and looks more like Mick Jagger. It´s not what I expected. :(

Clarisse Ivanova
Clarisse Ivanova Kirsty Lyle im in the same boat with you. seeing all of these comments arent really giving us a good feeling .x.x.
Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle It's still a nice wig. To be honest, you could just say Sherlock just got out of bed lol
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Kirsty Lyle Yes, I could. ^^
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Clarisse Ivanova Like I said, hope your wig is fine. And you are happy with. And problem is, the wigs are okay, sure...but not worth so much money. In my case 150,- Euros.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Kirsty Lyle I know that you are waiting for your wig now and it hurts me to read that you are worried because of this. We have a lot of orders and good reviews for all these years. I tried very hard when I created this wig for you, but I ask you if you are unhappy, then write to me about it, it's important for me, then I can help you.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Alex Tate Meißner I'm sorry, but your wig was ordered almost 3 years ago in March 2015. Natural hair needs to be laid after a while, curls on a natural wig can not last forever. We have made more than 1500 wigs over the years and all wigs are completely different, have different materials and have different operating times. The wig did not fall apart, but it lost the original styling. This is normal for natural hair. But it can be restored. We can remake your wig using our new technologies, you should just write me about your problem and I will always help. This is an important part of our service. I really hope that you will give me a chance to help you.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Clarisse Ivanova We made a lot of wigs over the years and have hundreds of reviews and a huge number of satisfied customers. Many people got their wigs a few years ago and could always write to us if they were dissatisfied with anything, we are always ready to help. If you do not like the wig I'll make for you, you can also write me about it. But many years have passed and our technologies have changed, I'm working alone now and doing all the wigs myself to avoid quality problems. Because of this, there are delays in work, but only so I can be sure that everyone will get really good quality wigs.
Alex Tate Meißner
Alex Tate Meißner Kate Ramensky Okay, and thanks for answer now and I know that I ordered in 2015. And I know also you don't reply my last message and yes, it would very very perfect, you could make another one. That would be a great service. And I will message you over etsy - thanks in advance.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Alex Tate Meißner Thank you for this reply! I'm very sorry that we missed your letter, I found it. And we really are willing to help you to make Sherlock wonderful. I will look forward to your letter.
Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Kate Ramensky Hi kate, no worries at all. wig is perfect :3 Would def get another from you in future. <3
Ren Vuong I have bought one in stock wig from them and it was so unpleasant. I’ve never owned any alpaca wig that was so rough. Either they are using a mixture or they overprocess the hair to make it feel brittle. The color was completely different than the sales picture due to oversaturation. The flexible wig cap was too small, 7-8 instead of the 8-9 I purchased. Oh, and the color RAN with just a small spray which meant to me they didn’t rinse the fiber well enough.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky I'm sorry if this situation happened. Please email us about this at [email protected] and we will fix any problems for free. Now I make all the wigs myself and are fully responsible for the quality. It is important for me that you like our work.

Mary Smith I think I ordered two in August...must go check my info.. Haven’t received them yet.. I believe the expected wait time was at least 3 months, anyway, and then received a message that went out to all, about delays because of someone no longer with them.. Something like that.. I did the layaway, but that’s been paid for a couple of months. Thanks for the reminder! Must get in touch with them!
Kirsty Lyle
Kirsty Lyle Yeah I got a similar message. I ordered a wig in August too and it's just shipped. Hope you get yours soon.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Dear Mary! I make wigs as quickly as possible, now I have to work alone, only so I can be confident in the quality of what I'm doing and take full responsibility for my work. I changed many of the technology work over the years and the quality of the wigs has now grown several times, we have more and more satisfied customers thanks to this. But I am always ready to correct any of my mistakes, whenever they are committed. If you are unhappy with my work, just write to us and you will receive help. For me, honest feedback is very important. And it's very important that my clients are happy when they get their wig.
Kiki Kawaii I haven't ordered from them, but a few years ago I messaged them about a wig they restock frequently--it was out of stock at the time, and I asked if they could make me one... And their response was that for each color, there would be an additional fee. The result would have been half the cost of the wig again! A few weeks later they listed the wig again at the usual price, and I just passed on it.
Katie Mulligan
Katie Mulligan I love my Amadiz wig! It's easily the most gorgeous wig I own. I think it looks almost exactly like the Etsy photo (keeping in mind that my shot on the right is taken in outdoor light). It's of excellent quality — I've had it for more than two years and it still looks perfect.
But note that the wig I bought was an existing Amadiz design, NOT CUSTOM. I've heard that due to natural fiber variances, buyers have not gotten quite what they expected from custom orders.

Katie Mulligan
Katie Mulligan My wig shipped about 5 days after I'd ordered it, and then I think it took the package the usual two or three weeks to get to me in the States.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky Thank you for your kind words and beautiful photos)
Sharon Harmon I just got one this week. I ordered it in August 2016. Arrived Jan 2 2018. Absolutely worth the wait. I have 5 of their wigs. Their custom wigs are breathtaking. Photo to follow.
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Amadiz Sansa custom wig.
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky We are very pleased that you like your wig and you became our regular customer. The wig of Sansа came to you on December 5, 2016 ?
Sharon Harmon
Sharon Harmon Your work is amazing!! I will continue to be your most happy customer!
Laurie Andrews I have had several of their wigs, and at least one or two had to be repaired a bit because some of the wefts were coming loose. Two of them I am very happy with and the quality was great. One I got second hand and it was really good, but had the wefts coming out issue. Then another I got myself and the color definitely wasn't quite right and it wasn't as soft. The turnaround time seemed about normal though for any custom thing like this. Overall I think they are a good company, but of course small and still learning/growing and I don't fault them for mistakes made early on. They seem like really nice people who are willing to help
Kate Ramensky
Kate Ramensky I remember many beautiful photos of your dolls in our wigs, they always pleased me. I try to improve the manufacturing and dyeing techniques year after year and I'm learning to create new hairstyles, and I'm happy that many people notice this progress. When you put your whole soul into your work, then it's very happy that anybody value our work so highly. Thank you for your feedback, dear Laurie Andrews ?
Laurie Andrews
Laurie Andrews Aww thank you! <3 I'm sure that you are always improving and learning! Yes at least 4 of my dolls always wear wigs by you.

Сталкинг прекрасен. Следить не только за куклами, но и за париками, причем вести учет кто и кому на вторичке перепродал, и по какой цене?! :awe:

Анон · 2018-05-07 20:11:12

Блэт, я даже не спрашиваю о том как они за всем этим еще и работать успевают, один хуй понятно что не успевают. Но как они, блядь, срать то успевают ходить? Кажын день с утра до ночи покуда все париканы проверишь какой на кого надели, как причесали, куда перепродали, что по этому поводу кому сказали и пересказали, а ведь окромя париков еще ж и пошивухи...

Смеюсь комментов в инстаграме:
lohengrin.n:She is wonderful ? I also love my Magdalena

Писать под фото чужой куклы "я тоже люблю свою магдалену!!" - это какой-то новый вид самоубеждения? Типа если много раз повторить "моя магдалена прекрасна и я ее люблю" - то оно так и окажется?
