About Milwaukee
Milwaukee is Wisconsin's largest city, set on the western shore of Lake Michigan where the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet. The city grew around brewing, manufacturing and the port, and its German and Polish heritage still shows in its neighborhoods, taverns and festivals. Today it is known for its lakefront, the Summerfest music festival, the Third Ward and Bay View, and a downtown that sits close to the water.
Black-owned businesses have been part of Milwaukee's story for generations, particularly on the north side along corridors like Teutonia Avenue, Burleigh Street and Center Street. Barber shops and beauty shops are among the most visible, and many are neighborhood fixtures where customers return for years.
This guide lists nine Black-owned barber shops in Milwaukee, WI. 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 find one that suits your schedule.
Businesses are listed in no particular order.
