Take it off–take it all off!
…your hair, that is…
May Day is coming to Harvard Square, and the big May Fair promises to make this Sunday afternoon, May 1, a wonderful outdoor party.*
Food, crafts, merchant displays, buskers, the strolling crowds–and something special and wacky from Diego Salon–“a haircutting event to raise money for breast cancer and to donate hair to be made into wigs for children who lose their hair to chemotherapy.”
Don’t you absolutely love Cambridge, MA?
Last year, Diego’s event collected $3,000 for Mt. Auburn Hospital, from pledges made by friends of 30 participants. This year, they’ve got lots of pledges and want some more.
You don’t need to get a close shave to participate–anybody who donates 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love gets a free Diego haircut and makeover. Considering that Diego Salon has been voted “Best Haircut in Boston” for the past ten years, that’s a pretty good reason to cut your old ponytail down to size for summer.
