| rtv6 TheINDYchanel - Ericka Flye INDIANAPOLIS - It’s always nice to be pampered -- but how about a mimosa with your manicure? Maybe some pinot with your pedicure? A new salon along Fall Creek Road in Geist is serving customers alcoholic beverages while they get the full salon experience. The Beauty Bar at Geist offers hair, skin and nail care, along with beer wine and liquor. It is the only full-service salon in the city with a full liquor license. WATCH LIVE INTERVIEWS HERE |  |
The concept has become popular in other states like Florida where owner Erin Hunt used to live.
Hunt moved back to Indiana and opened her own salon-bar to give Hoosiers a taste of the unique combination.
"I think it just enhances their experience here, while they're getting pampered in their time away from their family or work ... it just kind of gives them a little bit more -- and for men and women, the men love it too. We have men's cocktails, so they come in and get their hair done with a beer or a pedicure with a cocktail," Hunt said.
The Beauty Bar must follow all the state regulations of a typical bar, including checking IDs.
Hunt hopes to expand her Beauty Bar to other Indiana locations in the future.
