Abstract

This qualitative study assessed stylists' and clients’ perceptions of the physical, cultural, and social constructs within the settings approach theory to inform health promotion intervention development in salon settings serving Black women. Stylists (n = 30) were predominantly Black (96.7%), women (83.3%); clients (n = 39) were well-educated (89.8% with college degree). There was concordance that the physical environment poses challenges to healthy eating; the social environment facilitates information exchange and social support; and the cultural environment embodies a “safe” space for Black women. These results further support the “Black” salon as a viable setting for health promotion education and interventions.
