About Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city, built along the Willamette River near where it meets the Columbia. It is known as the "Rose City," and it is divided into quadrants and neighborhoods, each with its own character: the Pearl District and Slabtown in the northwest, the Alberta and Cully areas in the northeast, and the Foster-Powell corridor in the southeast. Food carts, independent shops and a strong bike culture are part of daily life here.
Black history in Portland is closely tied to Northeast Portland, where the Albina area was long the center of the city's Black community and where Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard remains a major street. Black-owned businesses are found across the city today, including several barber shops in different quadrants.
This guide covers six Black-owned barber shops in Portland, OR. Each is listed because its Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership. Below are addresses, ratings, accessibility details and booking notes to help you choose.
Businesses are listed in no particular order.
Using This Guide
This guide is meant to help you start your search, not to rank shops. Each listing comes from a business whose Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership, and we do not independently verify ownership. The order of the list is not an indication of quality.
Hours, prices and booking rules change, so contact a shop before you visit, especially one with limited or missing hours. Each business's profile on this site has its full address, amenities and website. If you know of a Black-owned barber shop in Portland that should be listed, let us know through the report options on the site.
