INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Many hair salons are nearly booked the first weekend in November when Taylor Swift comes to Indianapolis for three sold-out nights on her Ellas tour.
Dry Bar Bottleworks is fully booked from November 1st to November 3rd. The styling salon says it’s only open between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Fridays.
Swifties are in a “big war” over Taylor’s promise to get some “karma” into her hair this weekend.
The Dry Bar Bottleworks is a styling salon located in the Mass Avenue area. The team there provides hair services to customers in preparation for big events such as Taylor Swift concerts. They are ready to make everyone look “bejeweled”.
“We knew it was going to be pretty busy,” said Destiny Bonner, an educator at the driver shop. “The girls love Taylor, so we knew they were going to come get their hair done. We also do tinsel. So we like to put little sparkles in our hair.”
Wendy Fitch is in attendance Sunday with her daughter and several friends. She was one of the “lucky ones” who got an appointment at the Luxor Salon in Monument Circle.
“I think I got a little lucky because I got my hair appointment so early because I was getting turned away so many times for other hair appointments,” Fitch said.
The hair appointment and the concert itself were a surprise for Fitch’s daughter, who turns 10 a few days after Sunday’s show.
They are traveling from Kansas City, Missouri to see the show. She hopes it will be a “magical” evening.
“My daughter and I actually started this hat company to raise money to go to Taylor,” Fitch said. “So, like I said, she doesn’t know yet that her efforts have paid off and that we’re going to go.”
Dry Bar has had to hire more staff for weekend concerts to keep up with the demand for people to look “gorgeous.”
“I think we had about 20 people working that weekend,” Bonner said.
Moms and salons want people to leave their hair appointments saying, “Today was a fairy tale.”
