Donating long hair

[miraclaire.livejournal.com]

I have very long hair (hip length).  I've been growing it for 7 years, and am sick of it.  I would like to get my hair cut short, and would like to donate my hair.  My question is, are there any hair-cutting places in the area that might

a) do a good job and
b) might give me a discount for donating my hair? 

Money's a bit tight right now (as it is for many, I'm sure) and it would be nice to not spend much on this. 

I looked in the old posts under the "hair" tag and didn't find anything that quite answered my question. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I added the "donation" tag. Here's an old post with both tags:

but I don't know if it's really helpful. I also do not know why so many comments have been deleted from it.

Someone I know got his hair cut for free for donating it at DeKwa on newbury st in boston. It was a good cut, too.

I did Pantene Beautiful Lengths last year with two friends, but you don't get a discount. I liked the program because it looked like some women would get wigs made out of the actual hair.

If money is particularly tight, you could always go on hair ebay! http://www.thehairtrader.com/

Perhaps people with tricophagia...

Last year when I chopped my hair off, I went to "Creative Quality Images", a salon on First Street in Cambridge (across the street from the Cambridgeside Galleria). Because I was donating my hair to LoL, they cut it and styled it for free. You might check them out.

Charity is lovely but

You could always sell it yourself and keep the cash.
