What kind of Haircuts?
Any haircuts: from trims to transformations, or Mullets/Shags to ponytail donations, we’ve got it covered. If you’re looking to make a statement but not sure where to start, our staff are always excited to help you find something new that’s right for you.

What does is cost?
Just for this day Haircuts are a blanket $85*, and Student Haircuts are $65. 100% of your payment will be donated. Feel free to donate more. 

*Ponytail Donations?
If you want to donate your hair, your Haircut is free. We send your ponytail to Freedom Wigs, who will pay for it. This payment can be sent to the Mental Health Foundation. Freedom Wigs makes wigs for Kiwi’s through an ACC Subsidy so this is an awesome way to give something back. Our support for Freedom Wigs is ongoing, more information can be found on our website: https://blowup.co.nz/charity.

When does it start?
Next event will be in 2026

Ponytail Donations

We support Freedom Wigs in Dunedin for any ponytail donations and offer free haircuts in return for your donation, as long as you meet the following critiria:

•Hair donation must be 36 cm or longer
•Hair must be uncoloured or unprocessed

Freedom Wigs makes wigs for Kiwi’s through an ACC Subsidy so this is an awesome way to give something back. Freedom Wigs does pay for hair donations but the amount is according to length and weight, it is up to them to determin the amount. So this is an awesome way to get yourself a new haircut and some money that you could also forward to a charity of your choice, or buy a new pair of shoes.
