At Ashka Salon Spa, we donate hair to Children with Hair Loss. Donating hair is a wonderful thing that many people are capable of doing. This gift can truly change someone’s life. We see people of all ages coming in to make the chop! I personally have yet to donate my hair. However, some of the happiest people in my chair have been there after donating 8, 9, or more inches. There is just something about giving back to someone who needs it that makes you feel more grateful than you ever have.

Who is Children With Hair Loss?

Children with Hair Loss was founded in September of 2000. They had done research and found that no companies were giving free hair to children who needed it. They wanted to give all children with medically-related hair loss a chance to feel whole again. Originally this company was focused on children with cancer, but they quickly realized that there are more reasons why children lose their hair than that. Some of these reasons include burns, alopecia, and trichotillomania. They are able to give 300 children a wig every year currently.

What Are The Requirements to Donate to Children With Hair Loss?

If you are considering donating your hair, there are a few requirements that need to be followed for it to be possible. The hair must be at least 8 inches long. When you come in for your haircut, your stylist will measure out the length of your hair. At Ashka Salon Spa, we will send in your donation for you. When we send it, it must be washed, dried, and ponytailed. It needs to have a ponytail on each end. Non-chemically treated hair is preferred, but they will take any hair as long it is in good condition. Gray hair is accepted.
