About Detroit
Detroit is Michigan's largest city, on the Detroit River directly across from Windsor, Ontario. Known as the "Motor City" for its role in the American auto industry and as the home of Motown Records, it covers a large area, with neighborhoods that stretch from the riverfront and downtown out to Eight Mile Road, the city's northern boundary. Its major avenues, including Grand River, McNichols (Six Mile), Seven Mile, Gratiot and Livernois, serve as long commercial corridors through the city.
Detroit is a majority-Black city, and Black-owned businesses, including barber shops, are woven into daily life across its east and west sides. Many shops sit along the same main roads, so you can often find one close to home rather than traveling downtown.
This guide lists 16 Black-owned barber shops in Detroit, MI. Each is listed because its Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership. We summarize each shop's address, rating, accessibility details and booking style so you can compare options before you go.
Businesses are listed in no particular order.
