Black barbershops in Philly? (moving to, place, venue)

[melatalc]

Did a forum search and didn't see this topic discussed. Will be moving to Philly soon and looking for a good barber, preferably in/around U-city and West Philly. Anybody have suggestions of where I could get a clean cut?

i know there's one on the corner of 4th and South streets.

I don't know W.Philly/UCity well

I know for sure there is one on 11th St near Chestnut as well as another one on Chestnut Street itself. But again that's not in West Philly.

I'm going on a six-year-old recollection, but I remember there being a barbershop on Baltimore Avenue near the deli at the crossing with 46th(?)St. There was also another one on 46th, I believe, north of Baltimore. My memory is a bit outdated though. But Baltimore Ave. is such a major thoroughfare, you're bound to find a place on or near it.

There are a lot depending on the area. There's a good one at 42nd and Baltimore. There's another one (as noted) at 46th and Baltimore. I'm not too familiar with other areas, but there are bound to be a lot on Woodland Ave. and Walnut and Chestnut past 48th St.
