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.

“I am particularly fond of PAGODA RED as we have known the family for so long. Betsy is a professional in every way and her intelligent taste comes from a long line of family knowledge in the arts. She and her team are the very best to work with and we find treasures with every visit!”
