Hand painted signs for barbershops and hairdressers have a rich history in Africa. Barbers and hairdressers are responsible for most of the intricately braided women’s hairstyles. Barbershops and hair salons may consist of a simple structure with a hand-painted sign nailed to its exterior. Female hairstylists often hang several signs depicting dozens of different braided hairstyles for clients to consider with clever titles.
