The Hair Salon Great Cup in a Nutshell
Register your salon and recruit your clients to participate in the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge; in exchange, offer to shave their heads for free at the end of their fundraising effort. View the donations raised through your commitment to families affected by pediatric cancer. Will you be the big winner of the Hair Salon Great Cup thanks to all these donations?
We are pleased to inform you that, thanks to our partnership with Novyco, you will benefit from an exclusive 15% discount on their products when you register.
How Does it Work?
-
Register your salon
- Click “Register Your Salon” below.
- Select the option “Create or join a school challenge, business challenge, or private team”
- Create a team with your salon’s name, then personalize the team’s web page. (The system will ask you to create a personal sub-page, but you are not required to fundraise in your name. You will simply be the team captain.)
- Bookmark the link to your salon’s team page.
- A tool kit is available on request. Contact us!
-
Tell clients how to take part
Tell them it involves the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge. They must collect donations for children with cancer using their personal donation page. When they reach the minimum goal set by your salon, you will shave their head, free of charge.
To register, direct your client to tetesrasees.com/salons and tell them to join your salon team. Leucan can provide you with stickers to place on your mirrors; they include a website and a QR code to facilitate access to the registration page. Contact your Leucan representative to obtain these stickers.
-
Schedule an appointment for your client’s free shave
Schedule a convenient time to shave each head. Your shaving schedule is entirely up to you: you can schedule a shave like any other appointment, or you can set aside a specific time slot for multiple shaves.
Contact us if you wish to hold an event at your salon!

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Hair Salon Great Cup begin?
The Hair Salon Great Cup was launched on October 16, 2024. There is no participation deadline; you can join at any time. Be aware, however, that the Hair Salon Great Cup will end on March 16, 2025.
Does my salon have to make any financial investment in order to participate?
No financial investments are required from hair salons. All fundraising will be conducted by your clients. Only your time is needed to provide free shaves to your participating clients when fundraising ends.
Will Leucan provide tools to help me recruit clients for my team?
Leucan will provide you with stickers to post on your mirrors and front door. These stickers will help communicate the theme more easily when styling your client’s hair. They will contain the necessary information to help clients sign up easily on their own. We are also developing other products to assist participating salons in the future.
How many free shaves should I provide each month?
According to our estimates, a maximum of five (5) participants per month will agree to a free shave at any participating salon.
Which client is eligible for a free shave?
Clients who wish to obtain a free shave in a salon that is taking part in the Hair Salon Great Cup must be enrolled with the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge under the participating salon’s team. You can also agree with clients on a minimum personal fundraising goal before qualifying for a free shave.
Visit the salon team’s web page to consult a list of clients enrolled with your salon’s team, along with their fundraising progress.
How many donations will earn a client a free shave?
The salon is responsible for setting the minimum amount required. We suggest a minimum of $500 per client.
My client has very long hair and prefers to avoid shaving his/her head entirely. Can he or she take part by cutting a sufficient amount of hair?
Yes, under one condition. Above all, the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge is intended to fully shave the participant’s head, but participants are allowed to simply cut a minimum of eight (8) inches.
What if a client prefers to shave at home, or on his or her own?
In these cases, offer the client a free haircut upon their first visit after shaving outside of the salon.
How and when can I shave my clients?
You have complete autonomy over the time and method. You can schedule it with your client as you would any other appointment, or you can set aside a time slot in which to shave several heads in succession. We recommend that you complete your shaves before Sunday, March 16, 2025, so that most donations will have been collected before determining the winning salon.
Contact us if you wish to hold an event at your salon!
Can I view the total number of donations collected by my salon?
Of course! You can easily track your and your clients’ fundraising results by visiting your salon team’s web page.
When does the Hair Salon Great Cup come to a close?
Hair salons and their clients must collect as many donations as possible by Sunday, March 16, 2025, inclusively. After this date, your clients may continue to collect donations for children with cancer, but these donations will not be counted when determining the winners of the Hair Salon Great Cup.
Must clients receive their shave before March 16, 2025, without exception, in order to qualify for the Hair Salon Great Cup?
No. Clients may receive their shave before or after the March 2025 deadline. Please note that donations collected after March 16, 2025, will not be considered when determining the winners of the Hair Salon Great Cup. They will, however, be greatly appreciated by families affected by pediatric cancer.
When will the results of the Hair Salon Great Cup be announced?
The winners will be announced via our social networks before the end of March 2025. The winners will also be contacted by a Leucan representative following the announcement.
What will the winners of the Hair Salon Great Cup receive?
The winning salons in your region will receive a trophy in recognition of their commitment to Leucan’s cause as part of the Hair Salon Great Cup. The winning salons will also be mentioned on Leucan’s social networks (including the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge Facebook page).
I have been told that Marcus Villeneuve produces short videos on participating salons. How can I obtain such a video for my own salon?
For a chance to obtain a short video about your salon by Marcus Villeneuve, spokesperson for the Hair Salon Great Cup, please write a few lines about the history of your salon and the reason for your involvement in the Big Shave Challenge and send them to your Leucan contact person. If you do not have a contact person at Leucan, please write to us at tetesrasees@leucan.qc.ca. We will contact you if your salon is selected for a short video.
