Summary

The experience of a barbershop is unlike any other. Barbershops in the African-American community, in particular, have served as a cultural staple dating back to the 19th century when most black-owned shops serviced white men. But, it was one of the founding industries that boosted the African-American economy after slavery was abolished and truly helped get some families on their feet. It was one of the first industries that allowed black men to become entrepreneurs and that all communities could support. Things may have changed here and there, in order to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of America, but the foundation for the barbershop has remained the same.
