Page 1 of Advice – for charity

Giving away free haircuts for donations for Air Ambulance this Saturday in Newtown, Mid Wales. In the past people have given £2 for a £42 hair cut. Obviously want to raise most money we can. Is it best to...

a) Ask for a minimum donation (if so how much)
b) Have sign on bucket saying "for charity please give generously"
c) Something better I haven't thought of

Get them to pay up front and tell you what they want and if they are being tight, give `em a buzz cut.

Could someone please
Remove these cutleries
From my knees...

As them fo rthe money half way through the cut then if they don`t give you enough then don`t finish the cut or make it uneven!!

lol, why did I think I would get some sensible advice from here ;)? It's to raise money but also to promote family business so we can't give bad haircuts.
Think I'm going to put £50 &£20 notes in bucket to encourage people to donate generously .

I think a minimum donation of £3 or £7 is a good idea, people will most likely pay with £5 or £10 notes and give you the change.

£3 for a £42 haircut, Robert John Shepherd - that's robbery. It's for Charity come on! That doesn't even cover the stylists wages. Some people are really generous and give £50+ . £7 sounds more like it but worried it might mean people who would have given more, just give £7 instead :/ . Or they may think quality of haircut would be bad if you only have to pay £7.

What about a sliding scale?
They come in on a "free" cut of just a trim and tidy (the normally £5 jobby) and then have the option to have other styles or cuts.

Make it something like a 50% discount to normal pricing so that a £42 cut becomes £20.

Or what about the free haircut is the "tidy up" job but for a quid or two you can stick yer hand in a bucket, pull out a ticket and get a voucher ranging from a free wash n blow dry to a full blown £50 free cut either on the day or to be used in the family salon by appointment...?

I only said £3 because you said in the past people paid £2!!
