Find a Stylist

A directory of hair businesses you can search by city and by what you want done — and that is honest about which of them have any relationship with BLK GLO at all.

What you are searching

Most of the directory was imported from open business data (Overture Maps, CDLA-Permissive-2.0). Those businesses never signed up, so every one of them is labelled unclaimed — on the card, on the profile, and on this website. An unclaimed listing has no service menu, cannot be booked, and gives you the business's own phone number and website instead.

When a stylist claims their listing and sets their services, the listing becomes bookable and says so. That is the only difference the badge means, and it is the only difference the app claims.

Distance you can trust

Distance is computed from the location you give the app, and a listing whose coordinates are missing reports no distance at all rather than a confident zero. A business sitting at latitude 0, longitude 0 — the null-island default that open datasets are full of — is rejected outright instead of being shown as the closest salon to you.

Black-owned is never guessed

Open business data does not say who owns a business, and inferring it from a name or a neighbourhood would be both wrong and insulting. The flag stays off until the owner claims the listing and sets it themselves.

Being straight with you

What Find a Stylist does not do

Every product page on the internet has this section. Most of them hide it.

  • Unclaimed listings cannot be booked and have no prices.
  • There are no ratings on a listing with no real reviews — no 0.0 stars, no placeholder.
  • Coverage follows the open dataset, so a city with no imported businesses shows nothing rather than a guess.
