Saudi Arabia has banned the construction of women’s hair dressing and cosmetic saloons near cafes, public parks and stadiums within a campaign to fight gender mixing.



Authorities also banned the construction of coffee shops near women’s saloons and stressed that all such shops must not have any window overlooking those places.



“Authorities also stressed that all women’s saloons must close before 11pm for the day and put a board clearly showing the work timings,” Ajel daily said.



Early this year, the Saudi cabinet said all employees at women’s saloons must be females and that all new jobs must be restricted to Saudi women.
