Wouldn't Yelp be of use in finding a black barber?
I am guessing you could find some old ones down by the train station downtown. (I bet my cohort, Kim, would know.)
I can steer you to some good ones in SF.
I'll give you the advice I got my from ex with curly hair on how to find a curly hair specialist: "Find somebody with hair like yours that has a decent haircut and ask them where they get it done."
Yelp's search for "black barber" or "african american barber" gets really random results that don't have icons of black men next to the testimonials. They sound like random white barbers.
If it's not nearby I might as well cut my own hair. Downtown isn't near. And I don't know any black men in my neighbourhood.

My hair now has too many textures for me to get it all trimmed to the same length. And I'm beginning to envy guys with good edging.
But making an appointment? That's counter to my whole being. Hmm.
The BBC website is where I usually go for disaster news. They report hundreds dead...
I haven't had my hair cut by a woman in forever.
Well, they did have two guy barbers.
