Black Beauty Shop Initiative

The Black BeautyShop Program Works with community stakeholders to empower Black women to take an active role in their total health by understanding and being responsive to their immediate health care needs through education, screenings and promoting healthy living strategies in Black owned beauty shops, barber shops and beauty businesses.
