Welcome To Jean Percy SchoolOf Barbering

Barber School In Cypress

​

​

Alfred Ross, owner and instructor of the Jean Percy School of Barbering in Cypress, welcomed his first student in 2023 and has since graduated 16.
Opening the school was a dream for Ross and another chapter in his search for redemption.
How it started
Jean Percy School of Barbering is named after Ross’s mother and mother-in-law, who were both educators. Ross, a former drug addict, said he opened the school to share his knowledge of haircutting with anyone seeking a second chance in life.
“[Barbering] is considered a second chance industry,” Ross said. “Did some things we’re not proud of, but after that, got my life back on track. ... I’ve always loved hair, so I began to barber in my neighborhood.”

Jean Percy School of Barbering:  Building Stronger Communities Through Service and Skill

At the heart of every great barber is not just talent with clippers, but a deep connection to the people they serve. That’s why the Jean Percy School of Barbering is proud to actively partner with the local community—not only to shape great barbers, but to help shape a better future for everyone.

A Mission Beyond Haircuts

Jean Percy School of Barbering was founded with a clear purpose: to train the next generation of professional barbers with excellence, discipline, and purpose. But our mission doesn’t stop at the edge of a haircut. We believe barbers are leaders, role models, and voices in their neighborhoods. That’s why we’re committed to community engagement, outreach, and service as part of our curriculum and culture.

Giving Back While Learning

We regularly host and participate in free haircut events, school supply drives, and back-to-school community days. These events serve two purposes:

1. They give students real-world experience.

2. They provide dignity and care to individuals and families in need.

From working with homeless shelters and youth centers to supporting veterans and low-income families, our students learn that barbering is as much about service as it is about skill.

Teaching Responsibility and Leadership

Every student at Jean Percy is taught that their barbering license is also a license to lead. By working in the community, students see firsthand the impact they can make—whether it’s boosting someone’s confidence before a job interview or mentoring a local teen interested in the trade.

Building Trust and Connection

In today’s world, trust is more valuable than ever. By being present in the community, our school builds strong relationships with local residents, organizations, and businesses. These connections open doors for job placement, apprenticeships, and long-term professional success for our students.

A Win-Win for Everyone

When a school gives back to its community, everyone wins:

• The community receives valuable services, support, and care.

• The students receive meaningful experience and personal growth.

• The industry gains well-rounded professionals ready to lead with integrity.

At Jean Percy School of Barbering, we’re not just cutting hair—we’re raising standards, creating opportunities, and investing in the future. Our work with the community reflects who we are, what we believe, and the kind of professionals we aim to develop.

Because when a barber serves the community, the community stands taller—one fresh cut at a time.
