SALEM - Local stylists known for their scantily cut outfits got their own eyeful of a local man who stripped naked and was promptly kicked out of the business.
Police said Kevin Bean, 48, of 40 Main St. took off his pants and shirt inside a bathroom at Lather & Lace, a men's salon, around 6:30 p.m. Monday. He emerged in his underwear, scaring the female stylists working in the salon, Deputy police Chief William Ganley said.
A female employee told Bean to get dressed and turned her back to him, Ganley said.
"When she turned back around, he was totally nude," the chief said.
After again telling the man to get dressed, she told Bean to leave and he did. Employees then locked Bean out of the salon and called police.
Bean was outside the salon when police arrived. He was charged with indecent exposure and lewdness, both misdemeanor charges. Bean later was freed on personal recognizance.
Ganley said it's the first call police have ever received from the business, which opened in January. The decision to allow the business to open at 88 North Broadway was opposed by some residents because salon owners wanted their workers to dress in provocative, low-cut clothing.
Four stylists work at the salon, which lists a suggestive line of haircuts that include the "missionary cut" and "the quickie."
The business did not have to go before the Planning Board because it replaced another salon. It did prompt town planners to tweak the zoning ordinance to define sexually oriented businesses.
