In a latest round of restrictions, the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan has imposed ban on women beauty salons, giving them one month to wrap up their businesses.

Last year, authorities put a lock on most girls' high schools, barred women from going to universities and stopped many female Afghan aid staff from working. 

The Taliban administration also closed many public places including gyms and parks for women.

The business of beauty salons witnessed a boom after the Taliban government was toppled in late 2001 following the 9/11 attacks. 

Many of them remained open after they regained the power two years ago but they covered up their signs and windows, providing services to women in hidden.
