Before you go to shave or spray

The public Shavathon event is usually open from 09h00 to 15h00 to members of the public, but may be extended to 16h00. It is advisable to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Please contact the shopping centre beforehand to confirm the times that the Shavathon will take place and if the Shavathon will take place on Sunday, 4th March as well.  If you did an online donation, remember to take your confirmation e-mail to the venue as proof of payment.

How does Shavathon at a shopping centre work?

• After registration and making your donation (or producing proof of your online payment), you will be asked to move to the area where your head will be shaved or sprayed. You can choose the length of your shave or the colours to be sprayed.
• Please take note that CANSA Shavathon will no longer do a ‘clean shave’ due to risk factors – the lowest number you can shave is a number 1.
• If you would like to donate your ponytail, our volunteers are equipped to accept your hair donations – they will snip it and package it for you! Please remember that your hair must be 22cm or longer, clean, dry and free of permanent colour, bleach or other chemical treatments to be donated.
• The process could take between 15-60 minutes depending on the queue.
