Скачать или смотреть Rev. Jackson law office, Cut Therapy offer 100 free haircuts for Black History Month

A Southeast Texas law office is marking Black History Month by offering free haircuts to community members this Saturday.

The law office of Reverend Jackson has partnered with Cut Therapy to provide 100 free haircuts. Reverend Jackson said the idea came together as he and barber Jerry LaPoint looked for a way to give back to the people who have supported their businesses.

LaPoint said giving someone a haircut can be an immediate boost. “It always make you feel better about yourself,” he said, adding that he has wanted to give back to the community since he started his career.

The event is expected to include multiple barbers. LaPoint said he and an associate, Asian Wheels, who owns the shop, will be cutting hair, and he also recruited his barber from Houston to help fill a chair Saturday.

Because of the time involved, organizers do not plan to complete all 100 haircuts in one day. The goal is to provide at least 30 free haircuts on Saturday. The remaining 70 people will receive a voucher for a free haircut that can be redeemed within the next two months. Organizers said an entry process for those vouchers is expected to launch this afternoon.

Organizers are also considering offering food, but said they were not sure they would have approval for a food truck and were still working through logistics.

Reverend Jackson said the barbershop has long held cultural significance in the Black community, calling it a hub where conversations happen and a place with deep historical ties.

People interested in receiving a free haircut can look for a flier with a QR code to register and reserve a time slot. Registration information will also be posted on Facebook on the Office of Reverend Jackson page.
