The extraordinary creative energies of six Lafayette hair salons will explode on stage at the new Acadiana Center for the Arts Theatre during The Independent Weekly’s Big Hair ’Do Ball & Benefit. Co-presented this year by The AcA, it’s the city’s most astonishing fashion event and takes place next Friday, Aug. 27. The VIP preview reception starts at 6:30 p.m. Doors open to the general public at 7:30 p.m., and the show will start at 8:30 p.m.
Artists from six salons will weave their magic through the tresses of models representing different fantasy themes chosen by each team of stylists.

A limited number of VIP tickets are available with extra perks, including a preview reception, reserved seating and complimentary cocktails. Supporting restaurants this year include Tsunami, Artmosphere, Poupart’s, Prejean’s, Crowne Plaza, Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro, Don’s Seafood, Don’s Seafood Hut and a la Carte.
