Over 200 warm-hearted and longhaired individuals turned up to donate their tresses to the Locks of Love Hair Drive at Yale on March 27 at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
Both the well-tressed and those with shorter strands (who donated $25 to the cause) received haircuts from shear-wielding artisans from Rimagé Salon & Spa and Nicole Pierre Salon.
