Afraid to go to the Hairdresser

Saudi police arrested a Filipino disguised as a female hairdresser at a women’s saloon in the conservative Gulf Kingdom.

Only women are allowed to work at female saloons in Saudi Arabia in line with laws banning gender mixing in public places.

After reading the story, I am afraid to go to the hairdresser now.

Last week I went to get my hair cut at Rizks’ Emporium and Salon.  I just remembered that the legs under the Lungi were really smooth and waxed.

Should I go back ?

Ishu: Don't go there.

Last week I noticed that Rizks had dirty hands.

"Its not my fault," said Rizks. "No one’s been in for a shampoo two days."

forget about hairdresser, I am afraid to go to any normal barber shop for a hair cut.

The first thing they ask me - where is the hairs to cut ? :(

Saudi Arabia has some Filipinos present who are "gays". They are commonly known as "baklaa" (not to be confused with the Arabic work "Baqaala") and I guess the word comes from Tagalog, the Philippine language. They are easily recognized due to their style of walking, talking and other actions which distinctly different from the others. They are center of jokes in an office. Possibly, one from this group thought of using his "artistic qualities" to sneak into a female saloon but could not manage to last long, and got caught.
