EXTRA O! AFRICAN BARBERSHOP AND HAIRDRESSING SIGNS, AT THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. Hairdressing has a long and rich history in Africa. While some styles have endured for centuries, others have long been obsolete. New styles are changing and evolving to keep up with contemporary fashion trends. Barbers and hairdressers are responsible for most meticulously faded men's hairstyles and intricately braided female hairstyles. Hair salons and hair salons can consist of a simple structure with a hand painted sign nailed to the outside. Sometimes a hairdresser or a hairdresser makes the signs themselves. Most often, these signs are painted on wooden panels by self-taught sign artists who work in the studio or independently. Such signs first appeared in urban areas to advertise services during the 1930s to 1950s. Often a portable sign with a handle can be hung outside while a hairdresser itinerant installs a chair, a hanging mirror and a small table for their scissors, razor, comb and clippers. The panels often detail the latest hairstyles. American popular culture has long influenced contemporary hairstyles in Africa with named styles such as Boeing and Ford. Hairdressers often hang multiple panels representing dozens of different braided hairstyles that customers can envision with smart titles, including Sweet Banana, Top Secret, and Mother Clear. A number of these welcoming establishments also serve as places for gathering and socializing while offering additional services, from video games to telephone service, which are also advertised on hand-painted signs. Extra O! African Barbershop and Hairdressing Signs, an attractive exhibit at the San Francisco Airport Museum, brings together a colorful collection of these commercials. This exhibit showcases a variety of colorful panels from the past 40 years of West Africa and Kenya, where hair salons are called kinyozi. A panel on the screen represents the beloved Ivorian football player Didier Drogba (born in 1978) while elegant heads posed against an American flag appear on another. The phrase Extra O appears on several panels, which means extraordinary customers, beckoning for exceptional styles. Hair-related items in traditional African culture are also on display, including headrests, hair combs, helmet masks, and sculpted Yoruba twin figures (ibeji), which reflect longstanding tradition and Importance of hairstyle in African culture. Extra O! African Barbershop and Hairdressing Signs can be seen at the San Francisco Airport Museum, Terminal 2, Level 2 Departures until September 13.
