Swing by any beauty school anywhere in the country and there's no shortage of sistas walking through those doors.
Where are they when they graduate?
Re-Re's basement. Pookie and 'nem's front porch. In their own front room.
We need nail salons run by us. We already have plenty of us that have the skills necessary, they just need a proper place of business to work out of. We need Black women to patronize those establishments. We need the people working there to do quality work at a fair price and the customers need to pay for that service without expecting "the hook up", as has been said earlier. And we need to spread the word about those establishments to drive customers there and ultimately our communities will be better for it.
Only then will the money from these types of services stop leaving our communities and have people in our communities that have little to no respect for us will be driven out.
the issue is getting business loans to open these places or having the resources to start them on your own
THEN you need support....and like its been mentioned here, black folks aint really gone fuck w/ you if you dont have lower prices and serve free drinks
they gone swear you gettin over or your products arent up to par
and in my city, any owner of a black business has to be popular in the streets first....if the hood didnt already fuck w/ you and you're not popular or cool to be associated with, they shut it out.....but if you got ties they'll have you on the radio, doing barbeques and fundraisers and all type of shit
