About Raleigh
Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and one of the three anchor cities of the Research Triangle, along with Durham and Chapel Hill. It is home to North Carolina State University and Shaw University, the state's capitol and several museums downtown, and its historic districts include Oakwood and the blocks around Moore Square and Fayetteville Street.
The city is wide and mostly built around driving. Major corridors such as New Bern Avenue, Capital Boulevard and Six Forks Road connect neighborhoods, and the shops in this guide sit along several of them. Because distances can be long, it helps to choose a barber near your home, your workplace or your regular route.
This guide lists 6 Black-owned barber shops in Raleigh, NC, all self-reported via Google Business Profile. Review counts here are high, ranging from 117 to more than 1,700, which gives a fuller picture of each shop than a handful of ratings would.
Businesses are listed in no particular order.
Using This Guide
Treat this page as a starting point for finding a barber in Raleigh. The order of the shops is not a ranking. Each one is included because its Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership, and we have not independently verified it.
Hours and appointment rules change, so confirm hours with the shop before you visit. Open a listing to see its full profile, and let us know if a Black-owned barber shop in Raleigh is missing.
