Locks of Love for Participating Salons

Everything that we do at Lock of love starts with a haircut. Thats why we are so grateful for for the thousands of salons who show support everyday by providing free blunt haircuts for anyone who donates 10"or more to Locks of Love. Not only do these salons play a vital role in assisting with hair donations, but they also spread awareness about Locks of Love's mission, helping us find more children in need of our services.

Participating salons can be found throughout the United States and Canada. Finding these salons is as easy as locating this decal in the window:

Salons can also be found easily online by searching "Locks of Love Salon".

Donating Hair

Before reaching for the shears or heading over to your stylist please consider the following before making a hair donation to Locks of Love.

• Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable.

• Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.

• Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process. **If the hair was bleached years ago and has completely grown out it is fine to donate.

• Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid.

• Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off.

• We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair.

• Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches. 

• Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.

• Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.

• 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.

Fraud Alert

Solicitations often occur on behalf of Locks of Love as part of an event being held to benefit Locks of Love. These events are normally registered with Locks of Love and have obtained approval to use our trademark name and logo in association with promoting the event. However, it has been brought to our attention that unauthorized solicitations are occurring from time to time. The organization Locks of Love does not solicit for hair or financial donations through any means including but not limited to: social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc., telemarketing or direct mailers other than the official Locks of Love newsletter. Unless part of an event, all donations should be mailed to: 234 Southern Blvd., West Palm Beach, FL 33405. This is Locks of Love’s only office and anyone instructing you to mail your donation to a differing location is most likely fraudulent.

Locks of Love provides permission for groups and individuals to sponsor events to benefit our charity. The event organizers have registered and received permission to use our name and logo for a limited time. Registered events may be confirmed by contacting our office. If you believe that you have been solicited for a donation by an unauthorized Locks of Love representative, please contact the Locks of Love office at 561-833-7332. Locks of Love also encourages that you report any fraudulent activity to your local police.
