Iran shuts 'Western' barber shops http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6960959.stm

[Men also are subject to scrutiny over their clothing]

Iranian police have closed more than 20 barbers' shops in the capital Tehran.

The authorities say the barbers were encouraging un-Islamic behaviour by offering Western hairstyles, tattooing and also eyebrow-plucking for men. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6960959.stm
