Video: Filipina hairdresser in Saudi turns out to be man

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

A YouTube film published in the Saudi Arabic language daily 'Sada 'showed the Filipino wore a wig, make up and women’s dress at the saloon in the capital Riyadh.

The paper said the film was circulated on local social media networks, but that it could not be verified.

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