About Durham
Durham is a North Carolina city in the Research Triangle, along with Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Duke University and its medical center are major presences, and the city is nicknamed the Bull City, a nod to its tobacco-era history. The restored brick buildings of the American Tobacco Campus downtown reflect that past, and North Carolina Central University, a historically Black university, is also based here.
Durham has an important place in Black business history: Parrish Street downtown was long known as Black Wall Street for the Black-owned banks and insurance companies once based there. Barbershops have remained a steady part of neighborhood life since, along corridors like Fayetteville Street, Main Street and Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard.

Using This Guide
Think of this list as a starting point for finding a barber in Durham. The order is not a ranking. Each business appears 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 its full address and contact details.
