According to the Associated Press, local police were tipped off by townswomen who had begun to suspect that their significant others were getting more than a shave and a haircut. After a two-month undercover investigation (I wonder why it took two months?), the cops raided the salon and found its 28-year-old owner and her client "naked, playing with a sexual toy and oil."

Eight people -- employees and clients -- were arrested in all. Laval police spokesman Guy Lajeunesse said the "hairstylists" would talk dirty, strip, perform erotic dances and copulate with their clients -- for extra money, of course.

Despite the charges, Lajeunesse conceded that some men really did get their hair cut. "We found some hair on the ground," he said.
