Hi!

A little bit about myself- I'm from the east coast, 25 years old, and looking to relocate to Missoula, Montana. It probably won't be a permanent move, but at least for 2 years time. I've visited 3-4 times (Kalispell, Missoula, Bozeman) and stayed for more than 2 weeks each trip. Unfortunately, one of my concerns (my boyfriend does not see the big deal) is finding an African American/Latin hair salon in ANY part of Montana. It'd be a shame to travel to somewhere like Seattle, WA for that purpose whenever needed.

I've read through other posts, asked around a tiny bit- trying to find answers (while also using google) but have been unsuccessful thus far. I don't need an ENTIRE hair salon catered to ethnic hair but perhaps just 1 or 2 stylists that have good experience with African American hair in any salon? I'm not quite sure that I'll be able to find this but I figured that I'd give it a shot here anyway! Thanks so much in advance!!

I googled "African American Hair Salon Missoula Montana" and got 8 hits on the first page that specifically advertise "African American Services".

So you shouldn't have any problems.

Hi!

Thanks for responding! I've actually done that too a few times and what happens is-- it sends you to a few websites that are hair salons but not actually what I am looking for. BELIEVE me, if it were that easy-- I wouldn't be posting for help, hehe.

There isn't, to my knowledge, an African-American salon in Missoula but we do have a lot of salons in general, so I would think you'd be able to find someone. You can go to Beauty and Spas Missoula and see info and reviews for lots of different places.

Sorry I can't give you more info.

I don't think you are going to find anything to your liking. We've offered up shops that advertise for what you want and You've refused them. So be it.

It was a long time ago, but they may still have one in the mall in Great Falls. Businesses come and go, but you could call and check.
I screen-capped the number for ya.

The reason for not finding African American Hair Salons is that the African American population in Montana at only about 0.3% of a low population state, does not supply enough population for a minority population hair salon as in the bigger cities, and some other parts of the country.

Anyone that opened a such a specialized hair salon in Montana is only waiting to go broke real quick due to lack of possible customers. If there was a more populated state, it would be different.

Even so, she shouldn't have an issue finding a beautician who knows how to do black hair, even if, she has to shop around a little. Particulary, along the younger hair stylists, it's not as hard to find someone, since just about all beauty schools teach it, even all of the students are white.
