About Birmingham
Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama, founded in 1871 and built up around the iron and steel industry, with the Vulcan statue overlooking it from Red Mountain. Today the University of Alabama at Birmingham and its medical center are among the area's major employers, and the city is a significant place in the story of the American civil rights movement, with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and Kelly Ingram Park downtown.

Using This Guide
This guide is a starting point for finding a barber in Birmingham, and the order is not a ranking. Every business is listed because its Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership, and DiverseDirectory does not independently verify that.
Ratings, amenities and hours come from those profiles and can change, so confirm hours and appointment rules with the shop before you visit. Open any business page for the full address and contact details.
