Locks of Love

I've been growing out my hair for a long while now. It was pretty long, and to be honest, I was getting tired of it (Ever closed your hair in a car door? Not so fun I assure you...). Anyway, I decided it was time to start fresh. Which leads me to....

Locks of Love is an amazing non-profit organization that takes donated hair and makes them into hairpieces for disadvantaged children who suffer from long term hair loss due to medical conditions, cancer treatments, and other causes. To date, over 2,000 children have been helped. I had heard of Locks of Love, and other similar organizations, as I'm sure many of us have. While doing the research though, I realized how I had never appreciated something as simple as having hair. So, with my ruler and ziplock bag in hand, I headed over to Kepare Salon in Capitola.

Here I am, seconds before the cut!

Katie, at Kepare Salon, did an AMAZING job styling my hair. If you're looking for someone who is not only an amazing stylist, but a totally awesome person too, swing over to Kepare Salon in Capitola, ask for Katie, and you won't regret it. Here it is!

Sassy!

So here is my new challenge for my clients this year:

Obviously I know you don't want to change to a drastic new style before your wedding. BUT, once the wedding is over, and you realize you're tired of growing your hair out for your sassy wedding day 'do, here is my offer. If you go for to big "chop" and donate your hair to Locks of Love, Childhook Leukemia Foundation, or a similar non-profit organization, then I will give you a $150 print credit to be used for your event! Don't forget to take pictures!!

A few things to know:

-Carefully research which organization to determine which you would like to donate to.
-Donated hair must be 10 inches for Locks of Love, 12 inches for Childhood Leukemia Foundation, 8 inches for Pantene Beautiful Lengths (as seen on Oprah).
-Depending on which organization you choose, hair may be colored or permed, but many do not accept bleached or highlighted hair.
-Hair must be secured in a loose braid or ponytail before being cut.

I have been trying to grow my hair out for Locks of Love. My hair is verrrryyy curly, so it has been making me crazy lately, especially when it is foggy. I do understand the frustration of closing it in a car door and all that crazy stuff. So thank you for reminding me this is all worth while!
