This past week, I shared a list of Black dermatologists and estheticians in New York City on Instagram. Based on the feedback it sounded like people are in need of such a list for other cities so I’ve compiled this list of Black dermatologists and estheticians in other major cities such as LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas and DC. This list is not exhaustive, if it were, I’d probably have to blogging my full time job based on how long that it would take to make a full list (lol). But if you have suggestions for additions to this list, feel free to leave their name and city in the comments! I hope this post serves a resource and jumping group for you to find Black skincare professionals in your city!
Atlanta
As you can imagine, there are MANY Black dermatologists and estheticians in Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs. I did not have the capacity to list them all. If you want to continue the search for an esthetician or spa beyond what I’ve listed, I suggest taking a look at #atlesthetician on Instagram.

I hope you found this short list helpful. I know for certain once New York’s shelter in place procedures are lifted, I will be treating my skin to a facial by a Black esthetician! Let’s do all we can to support Black owned businesses post coronavirus shut downs!
