Hair donors, please be advised that interest this year is
significantly higher than ever before. Our Policy has always been
to leave our donors with a simple haircut and style that they can
be proud of. We will do our very best to maintain this policy,
however due to the increase in donations, our stylists will be
challenged to process all of our participants.
Haircuts will be very basic, as well as a blow dry. Providing a
"salon experience" is unfortunately no longer possible. Follow up
with your hairstylist may be necesary
We will do our best to accommodate walk-ups but we strongly
encourage you to make an appointment by calling
780-444-9467.
We thank you for your kind and personal donation of hair to make
wigs. Our priority is to ensure that local children benefit from
these donations. Once collected, donations go to Alfred's Hair in
Edmonton, who ships it overseas to be manufactured into wigs. They
have, for years, had a policy to help children suffering from
cancer, most importantly children from Edmonton and outlying
areas.

A minimum of 10 inches is required for wigs. Hair to be donated
must be unprocessed (not dyed and no product in it), clean and
dry.
Hair donation at the event is quite simple. Beginning in January,
you can book an appointment by calling our appointment line. When
you get to the event, the stylists will consult to determine if you
are shaving after the donation or are keeping some hair and will
need a new style. Everyone at the event understands what a huge
sacrifice hair donation is, so be prepared to be "fussed
over".
Hair donations can be made throughout the year. Gather hair into
small sections, put an elastic at the top and bottom to keep it
together, and cut it. We have been asked to NOT braid the hair.
Ensure that the hair is collected carefully, as this is the product
that will go into a child's wig. Hair can be taken to
Alfred's Hair in Edmonton (alfreds@alfreds.ab.ca or 780- 454-5656) along
with your name, age, and mailing address.
