YELP NAMES BLACK-OWNED BEAUTY BUSINESSES TO WATCH IN 2021
Expanding on its efforts to support Black-owned businesses, Yelp has compiled a list of Black-owned stores, restaurants and other establishments to watch in 2021. Included in its roundup is a list of Black-owned beauty businesses, spotlighting salons and spas that work with natural hair and darker skin-tones, which are often overlooked by stylists and estheticians.
Encompassing nails, hair, skin and tattoos, Yelp’s index spans cities across the United States. In New York City, Harlem’s Natural Hair Salon focuses on textured and natural hair styles while Monocle Tattoo in Los Angeles only uses vegan inks, soaps and aftercare products. Naked Bar Soap in Orlando, Florida, crafts handmade soaps and bath products and Vibe Nail Bar in Las Vegas, Nevada serves up coffee alongside manicures, facials and eyebrow shaping.
