Are there any African American barber shops in the Iowa City area?

My fiance just moved to the Iowa City area with me. One of the challenges of the area is that there aren't many businesses that cater to African Americans. Does anyone know about an African American barbershop in the area?Are there any African American barber shops in the Iowa City area?
he might need to learn how to clean up his own fade, or possibly visit a regis, jcpenney, some chain salon where they might have clue what he is talking about when he asked for a particular style.


Thats not racist, blacks and whites have always had separate businesses, you just can't discriminate against someone who wants to patronize. But I can choose not to patronize if I don't want to!! It don't make it right though, I now live in a predom white town and drove all the way to another town to let a sista do my relaxer cheaper than the white salons and some black salons closer where charging- and she did not do a good job. I know now to do it myself til I make a pilgrimage home, cause I still I ain't got to where a caucasion person can tough my head, but I will do their hair in a minute. Thats like sending a diabetic to the dermatologist. i believe you have a med degree, but I don't believe you are gonna be able to give me what I want or need.Are there any African American barber shops in the Iowa City area?
Big J's Barber Shop is what you are looking for. Its on College St. between Gilbert and Linn.

I'm in another part of Iowa, and i can tell you the best thing to do is get a phonebook (maybe go to a payphone or try the library) and start calling all the barbershops listed in there until you find one that does african hair. Hope this helps
dude a barber shop is a barber shop
iowa is full of whites. so probably not
