Discount coupons:
 
Donate Hair http://www.locksoflove.org/donate.html When I cut off all of
my hair (~14 in.), the salon offered to take it to donate to Locks of Love. I imagine that any salon
would do this, but I would call ahead to check. The Cosmetology school in town (behind Outback steak
house)almost certainly a participant in Locks of Love; trust but verify. I also understand that hair
can be sold if it is in the right condition. "Virgin" hair that has never been straightened or dyed
is apparently in high demand. (Where'd I leave that ponytail again?) -- From what Ive heard and read
any place can cut your hair to the guidelines and some places will give you a discount if you mention
your doing it for Locks of Love. The only thing is not a lot of places will actually send it off like
they used to, you may have to send it off yourself!!
