Black Owned Beauty Supply Stores!
There's one industry that has been profiting off of Black dollars without even giving the community a second thought. What industry is that you might ask? The hair care and beauty supply industry! For decades this market has been dominated by every other race, but our own, and we've strengthened every hand and fattened every pocket to boot.
Now, (cue Aretha Franklin) the sisters are doing it for themselves!
In the new millennium, Black owned businesses have started popping up in every industry and, now we've branched into the beauty supply market. There are several stores that offer online shopping but tons more that are brick and mortar all over the country. Below you'll find both types of stores and, hopefully, decide to share your wealth with them and keep those Black dollars circulating in our community.
