“In Ghana, a barber shop is anything from a posh salon to one man on a wooden stool with a pair of scissors in hand, sitting under a tree. You don't have to flick through issues of Black Hair Magazine - instead, you peruse the various art boards and pick your style.


Style names can be taken from political, social and national events, popular music and many other influences. The boards are made from plywood and are individually hand painted - basically they make us smile!” Bashiri
