The Jersey City Back-to-School Giveback is a community event presented by Biscott Styles Barbershop to help local students prepare for the new school year with confidence.

Free Haircuts, Hair Braiding & School Supplies for Jersey City Students
Join Biscott Styles Barbershop for our annual community giveback as we help Jersey City students begin the new school year with confidence. Families can receive complimentary professional haircuts, hair braiding, and school supplies in a welcoming community environment while supplies last.
The Jersey City Back-to-School Giveback was created to ensure local students begin the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.
For many families, preparing for a new school year means balancing school supplies, clothing, transportation, and countless other expenses. Our goal is to ease a small part of that burden by providing complimentary grooming services and school essentials while bringing local organizations together to serve our community.
At Biscott Styles, we believe a fresh haircut or hairstyle can do more than improve appearance—it can boost confidence, encourage self-esteem, and help students walk into their classrooms ready for success.
Every child deserves the opportunity to start the school year feeling proud, confident, and ready to learn.
Every registered student will have access to complimentary services and resources provided by Biscott Styles and our community partners.
✓ Professional Haircuts
✓ Hair Braiding
✓ School Supplies
✓ Community Resources
✓ Family-Friendly Environment
Our goal is to create an enjoyable experience where students receive more than just a haircut—they leave feeling encouraged, supported, and excited for the school year ahead.
The Jersey City Back-to-School Giveback is open to local students preparing for the upcoming school year.
Appointments are required to help us provide every family with the best possible experience while minimizing wait times.
Due to limited services and supplies, registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Families are encouraged to reserve their appointment early.
Last year’s community giveback brought together local families, volunteers, and businesses for a day focused on supporting Jersey City students.
Together, we were able to:
✓ Provide Complimentary Professional Haircuts
✓ Offer Free Hair Braiding
✓ Distribute School Supplies
✓ Serve More Than 30 Local Students
✓ Receive Community Recognition from Hoboken Girl
This year, we’re building on that success by expanding partnerships, welcoming additional sponsors, and serving even more local families.
