Black-Owned Businesses in Greensboro to Support in 2026

A soul food restaurant with a cocktail list, a cafe that also caters offices, a blow dry bar with rooms in two cities, a waterless nail spa doing medical pedicures, a streetwear store, a downtown recording studio and a professional engineering firm. Greensboro's record here is 33 listings, spread wider across trades and services than most Triad guides go.

Every business named here links to its profile, where the ownership tag shows the source it came from. For the whole set, filter the Greensboro hub.

Where should I eat?

Luxe Soulfood & Cocktails is the soul food room in the middle of the city. The Pines is the locally owned cafe for breakfast, lunch, burgers and sandwiches, and it caters offices. Miki Bowls cuts its fruit by hand at ripeness, and Savor The Moment Dessert Bar takes orders ahead so you skip the line. Little Poli's Playroom & Boutique puts coffee and a play space together, which solves a specific kind of morning. KimBees makes teas and gourmet sweets.

Hair, skin and nails

Manna Hair Sanctuary works Sundays only and does smoothing treatments and styling. Blowouts & Bubbles is a blow dry bar with locations in Midtown Greensboro and Winston-Salem, so it covers both ends of the Triad. Curly Girl Coach consults virtually on curly hair, and Greensboro Haircare supplies salons and barbershops as well as customers.

Cure Waterless Nail Spa is an eco-friendly, non-toxic spa specializing in medical pedicures and toenail restoration, which is a health service more than a manicure. Lucid Wellness Spa does facials and skincare for people who are short on time, and Luxe Fragrance Bar blends scent.

Health, birth and counseling

Progressing through Therapy counsels adults in person on anxiety, grief, burnout and trauma. Bump.Baby.Bliss. puts doula support, counseling and an ultrasound studio in one practice. Embodhi Yoga Studio teaches, and Archangels Transit runs the transportation contract at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

Trades, transport and professional work

BBFoster Consulting, led by Bellandra B. Foster, Ph.D., P.E., is a professional engineering corporation and a certified minority business enterprise. Bancar Services Group works with healthcare providers, government agencies, general contractors and facility owners, and Fermi Logistics does transportation management. MATEM Landscaping covers the Triad and the Triangle.

In law, Huggins Law Firm practices in the city, and the Law Offices of Cheryl David is an estate planning practice with a dedicated LGBTQ+ estate planning page covering wills, trusts, probate and elder law, tagged here as a welcoming business rather than by ownership. Sharon Bigelow Bail Bonding posts bonds.

Pictures, print and things to buy

Still Shots Photography shoots editorial, fashion and weddings from downtown, Magnolia Content Studio rents the space to do it in, Epic Drone Images in Browns Summit flies, and Ethos: Digital Media Lounge documents. Skymount Studios is a full-service recording studio downtown.

To buy: Social Status sells men's streetwear and footwear, PictureDā sells shirts, hoodies and sets, D. Scents Candles & More sells candles and runs candle-making sessions, and Boro Bucks puts local shops and restaurants on one card.

What the record does not cover yet

There are 33 published listings: 31 in Greensboro and two in Browns Summit. High Point, Jamestown, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Gibsonville, Pleasant Garden, McLeansville, Archdale, Asheboro, Reidsville, Eden and the rest of the hub's towns have none yet. High Point is the notable one, a city of nearly 115,000 with nothing in the record.

By type, the thin ends are real estate, education and arts. There is no dentist, no auto shop, no plumber and no accountant. That is a gap in the record rather than a description of the Triad, and part of it comes from the sources: North Carolina's certified firm directory carries no email or phone, so smaller consumer businesses are harder to reach from it. A free listing is the way in.

Common mistakes

• Assuming Sunday is closed. One of the salons here works Sundays only, and several of these businesses run appointment-first schedules.
• Reading a nail spa as cosmetic only. The waterless spa on this list does medical pedicures and nail restoration.
• Treating High Point as covered. It is inside the hub's radius and has no listings yet, so nothing here will point you there.
• Skipping the firms. Engineering, logistics, landscaping and bail bonding are all in this record, and they are the part that never appears in a food roundup.
