I am going to do the same. I think you have to donate 10 inches of hair. I am going to let mine grow for another 6 months and then do the mom chop.


Here is their website Locks of Love it will give the list of salons that participate.


ETA - It is under the donate/volunteer tab.

Re: Locks of Love

I just went to my regular stylist. She put my hair in a ponytail, cut if off and then cut, shaped and styled it as if I just went in for a cut. I downloaded a form from the LOL website and mailed the hair in a padded envelope.

I get this msg. when I click on the tab...


Beginning January 2006 the Salon Page will no longer be accessible on this site. Any salon wishing to become a registered Locks of Love participant may contact the office to receive a window decal for your location. Displaying this decal will represent that a salon provides free cuts and styles to anyone donating 10 inches or more of hair to Locks of Love.

We appreciate participation and hope this better serves the salons.



I could cut 10" and my hair will still be passed my shoulders....

The hair cut is free when you donate right?

They took the list of participating salons down Chat Icon I don't know why they would do that. Try emailing them, or going to your regular stylist as Dpli suggested. I have a friend (male) who donate 20 inches of hair twice and his girlfriend cut it, so it is possible to do it on your own.

I believe if the salon is a participating salon it is free.

That's what the deal was when I did it a year ago, if you went to a participating salon. My salon is not a participating salon, so I just paid for a regular haircut - I didn't really want to go to Ulta, even if the cut was free.

Re: Locks of Love

I know Harvey Allen in Islip participates at certain times of the year (during their Main Street Festival), but you could call.

I think I would go to my regular place and pay before chancing getting a bad haircut. A bad haircut with short hair is much harder to fix than with long hair.

This is where I went. There were a whole bunch of people donating there at one time. Unfortunately, I ended up with a bad cut Chat Icon
