I’m an African-American male recently moved over to San Francisco and I need a good place to cut my hair, and since Super-Cuts and other name brand barber shops have no idea what a ‘tape’ is, I need to find a nice place. Any help?

if tapeing is what i think it it, you may want to ask them to block off
but if im mistaken, then disregard this
By downtown, do you mean the financial district or Civic Center? You won’t find what you want there. Hop the 38 Geary and get off at Japantown. At Divisidero/Geary is the New Chicago. Or you can cross Geary into several blocks of Fillmore District shops where they know the latest ‘urban’ styles
My brother lives in Oakland, on Shattuck real close to Berkeley. Walking or biking up and down that road every day, I must have seen fifty barber shops. Okay, maybe 5, but coming from Pennsylvania where you never see any, I was pretty impressed.
Guess this doesn’t help you, but if you don’t find one downtown you could take the bart across the bay ;) haha
Fillmore st in the renamed “Jazz District” and Divis have shops.
There is also one on McAllister at Divisadero. Not sure of the name, but it’s definitely a spot that is owned by, and seems to cater to African Americans. I agree that you might have a hard time finding something in downtown.
have no idea :) i live way down here in Yuma, but theres a good black barber shop by 16th street here.
i guess what im telling you is useless, but good luck on finding one :)
LAWLZ @ African american!!!
