Allow me to reintroduce myself.
My name is Jay Laird
AKA... JAY, “THE PRO BARBER”
Barbering isn’t just what I do,
it’s who I am.
Jay is a Pittsburgh native, a U.S. Army Veteran, and the visionary behind The Pro’s Barber Shop. With over a decade of experience, Jay’s barber journey ignited at Fort Lee, Virginia while serving in the Army. What started as a practical necessity, maintaining a fresh cut every week, quickly sparked a lifelong passion. After honeing his craft at the Barber School of Pittsburgh and graduating in 2017, Jay earned his Barber Manager’s License and set his sights on building something lasting. In March 2022, Jay took a leap of faith, opening his own multicultural shop in the midst of a global pandemic. For Jay, barbering isn't just a career; it’s a lifestyle rooted in purpose and community.
To Jay, every haircut is about more than just a look, it’s about confidence, presence, and preparing clients for life’s most significant milestones. "My favorite part of this profession is being a part of those special moments". Whether it’s a wedding, a graduation, a first date, or a milestone birthday, we prepare you to show up as your best self. To say I love what I do is an understatement; it truly defines who I am. "
When he isn't at the shop, Jay is a devoted father to his two daughters, Jaelyn and Lailah, who serve as his daily inspiration to lead by example. Clients are also likely to meet Luna, Jay’s loyal black lab/boxer mix and official shop companion, who ensures every visitor feels right at home.
An enthusiast of the outdoors, Jay also enjoys shooting pool and traveling to coastal destinations like Florida and Puerto Rico to recharge by the ocean. Whether you’re looking for a sharp transformation or a welcoming environment, Jay, The Pro Barber is committed to excellence in every detail.
Hello, I’m the owner of The Pro’s Barber shop. I am a Veteran and served 6yrs in the US Army. I started cutting hair while I was stationed down at Fort Lee, Virginia, and that sparked my interest to do it as a career. I have been cutting hair professionally since 2016. I’m a girl dad to two beautiful daughters and my loyal black Labrador, Luna. 🦴
My favorite thing about being a barber, is that I get to play a small role in everybody’s special occasion. The first thing you do for any special occasion is, go get your haircut. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, playing pool or spending time with family and friends. Summer and Fall are my favorite seasons.
I am thrilled to bring my multicultural Barber Shop to Ross Township. We specialize in men’s modern hairstyles and beards. We cut all hair types and textures. Looking forward to building relationships with our community.
My name is Evan Ferguson, and I’m originally from a small town 65 miles north of Pittsburgh - Greenville, Pennsylvania. I studied communications at Penn State Behrend and have built my professional experience in sales, public relations, and journalism. Since 2016, I’ve also been cutting hair, something that started as a hobby and blossomed into a true passion. I’m as loyal a fan of all things Pittsburgh sports, as well as Penn State! I love writing, spending time with close friends on the North Shore, and traveling with my longtime girlfriend. At home, I’m a proud cat dad of two, Pancake and Piper.
I would say that my specialty for men’s styles would be all forms of fading. Drop fades, burst, taper, high and tight, etc. I specialize in culturally diverse hair textures, from thinner to finer and more coarse hair. As for shear work, shorter-mid scissor cuts I am extremely confident and comfortable. I’m excited for the opportunity to serve the Ross Township and surrounding areas of Pittsburgh alongside Jay. I take the craft very seriously, and I want you to leave my chair believing that every single time.
My name is Jack Riley, I was born and raised in Southern California. I've been a barber for almost 10 years now. What I love about barbering is all the connections, good conversations, and networking that can happen through the job, you never know who is going to sit in your chair on any given day. I also love the art of doing a haircut and putting the whole thing together and making that person in my chair feel good about themselves.
I'm also a big sports fan of the Steelers, Dodgers, Penguins and Lakers. I love traveling and seeing my teams play in different cities and states and meeting new people that have that same love for the team in common with you while also exploring a new place.
