"Mr. Man" Hand-Painted Barbershop Sign

Swinging from trees or mounted to buildings, barbershop signs are fascinating examples of pop and folk art in Africa. Each sign takes on the unique personality of its owner, expressing both their hairdressing options, and the promises that come with them. In this case, it's the promise of suave masculinity. From bald to high top, this barber will make his customers into the cool men they see in American films.
