Manama: The owner of a woman's hair salon in Kuwait City had to call the police to end an argument with two gays who insisted on a full make up session.

According to Al Watan daily, the duo entered the salon dressed in women's clothes and requested a full hair and make up services. However, the owner, on discovering their identity, asked them to leave.

The duo refused to comply and insisted on receiving the services they claimed they needed for the evening, saying that they were ready to pay whatever amount the owner would request.

The situation was compounded when the argument became particularly vociferous and the women inside the salon started screaming after they became aware of the presence of the two "men."

The owner eventually called the police to settle the issue, but the duo fled to avoid legal complications, the daily said. Homosexuality is banned in Kuwait.
