I've wanted Editor's Pick Elite for a long time now, but the price point was always a bit too steep.
However, combining my points along with an incredible holiday discount from Raquel Welch, I was able to get the price point down to something more manageable.
This wig, oh wow where do I begin? This version of Editor's Pick Elite with its hand-tied cap is divine. It is comfortable and so easy to wear. I love that I don't have to worry about being caught out in the wind and someone might see wefting. But I also understand this hand-tied cap is what drives up the cost.
I am a 22 1/2" circumference, so I worried a bit after hearing that RW's hand-tied caps tend to run a bit small. But in my case, the wig fit snugly, but I was able to put it on with no issue.
However, as I wore it, I decided it would be more comfortable if I removed the Velcro adjusters entirely. Now it fits my average/large head perfectly! I don't even need a wig grip underneath. However, I will most likely use some It Stays when wearing it out just for some extra security.
The lace front is impeccable and melts right into my skin. It doesn't feel itchy or rough.
I ordered Editor's Pick Elite in my favorite RW red--Shaded Iced Pumpkin Spice (RL29/33SS), and let me say it's such a rich, beautiful color and flatters my pale, cool skin tone and green eyes nicely. The root isn't harsh or too dark. It's blended perfectly.
The only very small issue I had with this wig was taming the front of it. The nice thing about this style is it has bangs so you have the option to wear it that way.
However, I wanted to take advantage of the lace front so wanted to wear this beauty off my face. It took a bit of the heat from my hand, along with some heat tools to tame it into submission. So overall, this issue was an easy fix.
All in all, I am so in love with this wig! The fibers are soft and silky. I feel beautiful every time I put it on! The length is just right as well--not too long or short. It has zero permatease, but the one I got has a LOT of hair. I love big hair so no issue for me, but for others who don't roll that way, this style would be easy to sleek down a bit.
Thank you so much to Patti's Pearls for yet another flawless transaction. And thank you to Raquel Welch/HairUWear for offering such an exquisite wig. You all are the best! :)
Absolutely heavenly!

I have never worn a wig before but have always wanted to. I live in Florida and the humidity and my biohair do not get along. This wig is adorable. Everyone had said that wigs would be so hot, you don’t want to wear one, you’ll hate it. I love it. I have gotten so many random compliments. The gentleman checking me into the hotel at 10pm after traveling all day, the flight attendants who couldn’t believe my hair could look so good in “this” weather and even the pharmacist. Anyways I am thrilled and have now bought several styles. Love love love your wigs❤️❤️❤️
Love my Editor’s Pick Elite in Shaded Biscuit

Beautiful wig and great color. Does not last as long as a regular synthetic fiber wig, but it`s a very stunning wig. I get a lot of compliments.

This wig, my first, is adorable! I have a couple of toppers, but this is my first full wig. I am just tired of messing around with my thinning, tired biohair. I love this wig! I bought it in cinnabar, which is a darker red than my biohair, and the color is beautiful. The curls are so cute; the whole look is fresh and sophisticated. I look ten years younger! Shipping was incredibly fast, too. I can’t say enough about Patti’s Pearls, I would never buy from anyone else. All done writing, I have to go gaze at myself in the mirror!
Oooooo Pretty! Pretty!

I wasn't sure at first. This wig has voluminous curls that were much tighter than most photos and videos show. The best representation of the wig out of the box is the one that Patti did! It's pretty curly, which makes it seem kind of "big". In every other video (and I watched them all!) it looks more wavy. I knew I wasn't supposed to mess with it much if I decided to return it, so I packed it all back into the box and waited a day before looking at it again. I finally decided that it was too beautiful not to keep! The other problem is the way it fits my head. I apparently have a small crown. I have had to alter my open cap wigs to fit, but this is my first hand tied. The amazing thing about this wig is that it actually settled in with wearing and no longer sticks up two inches off the top of my crown! It magically molded itself to my head!
I'm still playing around with the curls, trying to relax them a bit. Haven't applied any heat or product yet. And I may cut a little length off the bottom all the way around. This is one gorgeous wig! The color (SS Wheat) is amazing - so much variation. Video reviews call it "dynamic" and it really is. No salon could hope to give you the multiple levels of shading that are present in this wig. Loving this wig and I've just begun!
Beautiful wig!

First of all I want to say the people at Patti's Pearls are the absolute greatest to work with. They are prompt to get back to you, polite, so up front and so helpful. Because of the popularity of this wig, they let me know it might not arrive until mid-April. To my wonderful surprise, it arrived almost a month earlier. The greater surprise was seeing it and trying it on. I have one other hand tied wig from Patti's Pearls that I love, but this will be by far my favorite!! It is even better than my human-blend hand tied wig. It is lace front, mono top, hand tied, extremely light weight, and just the prettiest style. I believe this is a timeless style that looks great at any age. I got the shaded cappuccino and it is absolutely gorgeous!!! I wish I could get it in every color. If you can get just one wig, this is the one. Even though this is heat resistant and can be styled whatever way you want, I can’t imagine any way to make this look better!
Amazing Wig!

Everything that a wig should have, Editor's Pick Elite has! It has a mono top and a great looking lace front. It's got a 100% hand tied cap. The 6.5 inch nape is perfect in my book. It even has a bang, which I like. I love those gentle soft waves.
Lets talk about fit........ Human hair hand tied wigs by Raquel Welch are way too big on me. This Heat Friendly Editor’s Pick Elite fits like a glove.
The price is possibly a bit high, but it is a VERY high quality unit with hand tied features. So I figured – I’d splurge. In fact I’ve gotten a second one on sale to “never run out”.
Great wig
