This is a barber's signboard from Nairobi, Kenya, displaying different hairstyles for the customer to choose from. It depicts three male heads: the central head faces the viewer, and the other two heads are in profile. There are also three decorative flowers. The board reads 'EXPRESS HAIR CUT' and is signed '© FRANCO '83'. The board was purchased by Brighton Museum & Art Gallery in 1996.
