I love this about Africa.
Instead of simply painting a sign that says ‘Hair and Beauty for Ladies’‘, this building was covered in murals depicting what this business offered.
This was spotted on the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania. In the western world, boring council by-laws prevents this kind of creativity from being unleashed!
Note that there is no actual written sign either!

Check out more cool signs at Signspotting!
I guess this didn’t appear in How To Start a Hair Salon or Beauty Salon Secrets!











These are all fantastic! Great quality too.
I stumbled upon your site looking for funny things in and around Tanzania for a video I am doing for a group of friends moving there. These are perfect.
I wanted to get your permission, of course, if I could us the pictures in this video.
The video will not be sold, and will be viewed mainly by my friends who know the people moving there, but I will gladly credit you and your site at the end so they know more about the location and can venture online to your page as well.
If you have any questions, let me know! Thanks!
