About

salon shop, on Zanzibar, sits on Hurumzi St in Zanzibar 12345, Tanzania, within the historic lanes of Stone Town. First-time visitors should expect a hairdressing salon rather than a retail shop, with services delivered in a small premises on a busy street.

A rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 13 reviews gives salon shop a high standing among the customers who have used it. The Hurumzi St setting places it within Stone Town, and the island's other centres, including Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu and Matemwe, are reached by road from there. Stone Town itself acts as the island's main transport hub, so a visit to the salon can be combined with time in the old quarter.

Dalla-dalla minibuses and boda-boda motorcycle taxis are common, and traffic drives on the left, which is useful to know when travelling across the island. Pilau, biryani, urojo soup and octopus stew are common dishes on both islands.

Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech. Visitors heading north to Nungwi or Kendwa, or south-east to Paje and Jambiani, will find the salon within reach from Stone Town before continuing along the coast.
