Another successful cutathon for Locks of Love

BRATTLEBORO — Shear Designs Hair Studio on Putney Road recently held its annual Locks of Love Cutathon.

According to owner Joy Boyd, the salon has “sent thousands of dollars and ponytails over the years to help medically disadvantaged kids.”

The staff donated all their time and earnings for the day to Locks of Love, a nonprofit that accepts hair donations to help provide free high-quality fitted hair prosthetics for children in need.

While Boyd said the salon will do Locks of Love donation cuts anytime, the special day has taken place annually on the last Saturday in June for the past 19 years.
