Help A Monrovia Salon Haircut Their Way into the Guinness Book of World Records

A Monrovia hair salon will join a national effort to cut hair on Apr. 22 to raise money for environmental causes.

Monrovia's Xylem Salon & Spa is participating in a "global 24-hour cut-a-thon" haircut effort that seeks to set a record for the most money raised for charity by cutting hair.

The Aveda network of salons, of which Xylem belongs, hopes to raise $5 million for clean water charities through a worldwide haircut campaign on Earth Day, according to the My Monrovia Business Blog.

"The aim is to set a Guinness World Record for most money raised for a charity by haircuts in a 24-hour period," the blog states.
