100+ Black-Owned Beauty Supply Stores By State & 4 Reasons You Should Support

Photo Credit: Marrica Evans

Black owned beauty supply stores are outnumbered.  Although African Americans purchase 9 times more beauty and grooming products than any other ethnic group, we represent about 1% of the beauty supply store market share.

These numbers have probably grown since I last read this stat about five years ago, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. Although more black-owned hair care brands have emerged in big-box retailers like Sally’s, Target, and Walmart, there is still a strong need to support independent black-owned beauty supply stores.

In addition, footage leaked years ago of a Korean store owner in Charlotte, NC, placing a chokehold on an African-American woman for allegedly stealing a pair of false eyelashes. A purchase worth $2 caused this man to kick and choke her while another worker helped take the alleged thief down.

Although further video has surfaced insisting the customer was stealing, the whole event was disturbing, to say the least.  Immediately, the Charlotte community started to boycott the store. If the two scenarios above aren’t enough reason to start supporting beauty supply stores owned by us, I don’t know what more is needed to convince you. 

A few days later, I came across a Facebook post discussing why some black women choose not to shop at other black-owned beauty supply stores. Higher prices and product variety were the top reasons. The most obvious reason was not a surprise. 

So, here are 4 reasons you should start supporting black-owned beauty supply stores and where you can find them in your state.

4 Reasons to Support Black-Owned Beauty Supply Stores

1. Better Customer Experience

Nothing is better than going into a store and speaking to someone who understands your needs.  Specifically, with hair care, it is a great feeling to talk to someone who knows your hair struggles and can recommend a product based on personal experience.

No one wants to feel like someone is just trying to make a sale without regard to their concerns or wants. Shopping at a black-owned beauty supply store increases your chances for a more personal shopping experience.

2. Launching Pad for Other Black-Owned Beauty Brands & Small Businesses

Black-owned beauty supply stores also support tons of other small businesses. Several natural hair care brands launched in small, black-owned beauty supply stores before reaching the shelves of Sally’s, Wal-Mart, or Target.

Most of the time, black-owned beauty supply stores are the first stores to offer in-store distribution for up-and-coming brands. As a result, your support at these stores could be the difference in another small business getting off its feet.

3. More Competitive Prices

The #1 complaint I hear from women about black-owned beauty supply stores is the costs are too high.  Why shop here when “ABC Beauty Supply” has the same product for a dollar less around the corner? Yes, I get it. Everyone is counting their coins.

However, lower costs are available when stores buy more products in bulk. Unfortunately, your local black-owned beauty supply store may not be able to compete on price alone for a few reasons.

1) The in-store demand isn’t there for them to purchase hundreds of products at a time.

2) They might not be able to obtain certain distribution accounts due to limited access – weaves especially.

However, more support and shopping at these stores will in return help the store owner know what to purchase. If you want something, speak up and let your local store owner know.

4. Help Support Expansion of Additional Stores

If you want to see more black-owned beauty supply stores in your area, start by supporting existing ones. We all know there is no shortage of women who want to purchase hair and beauty products; however, expansion into additional stores can only happen with the initial support first.

Stores like BPloished Beauty Supply in Arlington, Texas, recently launched last year with hopes of additional locations.

Janice Fredricks, the founder of The Retail Genius, has made it her mission to help other black owners open their stores the right way.  Her first store opened in 2010, followed by a location in Bermuda. In 2012, the website- fabulousfreddys.com- was born and has moved to international water. With years of expertise, she has gained much knowledge about the beauty supply industry and can provide consulting services, webinars, and products to potential clients.

Help your local black-owned beauty supply store grow and expand simply by shopping at least 1 day a month. Trust, a little goes a long way.
