I like this it was positive and nice. Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I hear “black barbershop”. Is it what I think it is, why is such separation needed?
There’s no requirement, and there’s no reason a white person can’t go to a black barbershop, but black people’s hair is often much different to cut than most white people’s hair, and preferred styles quite different.
It’s not so much “this barber is for black people” and more so “this barber is owned by black people, so black people can assume they’ll be given the experience they’re looking for”
Kind of a nice message but I don’t like that this reinforces expectations that going to a barber shop run by a different race is “strange”.
Black barbershop are different because black people generally have tight curly hair, which requires different skills and techniques to cut than straight hair.
They are also seats of culture in a way that your local Supercuts isn’t.
