Recognizing black-owned businesses in St. Joseph

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- August is the month to recognize black businesses and how they contribute to our community.

St. Joseph salon KD's Beauty Bar is owned by Dai'Janise Wilbon and Kanei Jackson.

The two owners have exemplified the importance of being black business owners in their community, opening their business in May of 2024.

There has been a misconception among some customers since the salon is a black-owned business.

"We thought you only serviced a certain community. It's like, 'No, we're here for everyone.'" said Wilbon.

Wilbon is right, the salon has a variety of services for all customers, from hair to nails; the salon truly does it all.
