BeyHive buzzing in Chicago salons ahead of Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" shows at Soldier Field
Soldier Field soon will be packed by the BeyHive, as Beyoncé prepares for three nights of her Cowboy Carter Tour in Chicago.
One place that's already buzzing is the beauty shop.
The Beyhive was buzzing Wednesday inside Keystylist Salon in the Beverly neighborhood.
Nia Miara Payne is going to see Beyoncé at Soldier Field on Saturday. It's the first time she's ever attended a Beyoncé show.
"I told myself after the Renaissance Tour, when I didn't buy a ticket, that the next concert that she had or the next tour that she went on, I would actually buy a ticket," Payne said.
After spending a pretty penny for floor seats, she had to make sure her hair was done just right.
"I knew I wanted to wear a cowboy hat, so I knew that my hair needed to be down, but my hair is natural. So I needed some protective style," she said.
She's getting a wig made, and Keystylist owner Kesha Levy is making it. Levy said Payne has been a loyal client since 2017.
Levy, a stylist for 27 years, said she knew something was up when her clients asked for last-minute favors.
"It's too many people calling to say, 'Can you fit me in?' When I get too many, 'Can you fit me ins' then I know something's going on in Chicago," she said.
Levy's salon is normally closed on Wednesdays, but she opened her doors this Wednesday specifically for Beyonce fans.
"My loyal clients, I had to come in, and I had to make sure I was there for them. And it takes no time," Levy said.
Crews at Soldier Field were busy Wednesday setting up the stage for the first night of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Chicago, which kicks off Thursday night.
As crews make final preparations, Levy will be spending her time in Beverly making sure her clients look their best.
"We make sure we come sharp. Everybody in Chicago wants to be sharp," she said.
Although Levy won't do Beyoncé's hair, she said Beyoncé's sign language interpreter will come to her salon this week to get her hair done for Saturday's show.
Beyoncé's three shows at Soldier Field are set for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, at 7 p.m. for each concert.
As of Wednesday afternoon, some tickets were still available in the so-called "Sweet Honey Pit," a standing room only section right in front of the stage for $687 each. Available tickets range from $103 for limited view seating in the upper deck at Soldier Field to more than $9,500 for front-row seats in the floor section.

Summer concert season has officially begun
Happy Saturday! How would you feel if you were invited to a wedding on a Thursday? While some guests were pretty angry, this writer thinks it's pretty smart. Find out why! On the agenda: The most common sign of colon cancer is one that can be hard to talk about. The "Taylor's Version" era is officially over. A cosmetic surgeon says she has to steer some clients away from " ab etching." Sex work was supposed to be a fast track to financial freedom. Not anymore. But first: Summer sing-alongs. This week's dispatchThe great outdoor jam session Beyoncé kicked off my live-music summer earlier this week, turning New Jersey's MetLife Stadium into a proper rodeo when she brought her tour, Cowboy Carter, to town. Even though it's nearly June, it sure didn't feel like it last Thursday. In fact, Beyoncé performed in the pouring rain. (Thank God for ponchos.) Still, a little bad weather wouldn't stop me from having a good time. I'm a die-hard concert lover. And I'm not alone. According to EMARKETER, a market research company owned by Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, Gen Z and millennials are more likely to attend a live event this summer than other generations. In fact, nearly three-quarters of people age 18 to 29 and 59% of consumers who are 30 to 44 are expected to attend at least one concert this summer. If you want to grab a ticket, there's no shortage of acts to see perform this summer, no matter what type of music you're into. From Kendrick Lamar and SZA to Mumford & Sons, Lady Gaga, and Oasis, you're in for a treat. Let's just hope the weather is better for you than it was for me and Bey. An embarrassing sign of colon cancer Colon cancer diagnoses are on the rise among young people, and stigma is one reason it can be hard to catch. Symptoms like rectal bleeding and changes in bowel movements are early signs of colon cancer, but some people don't know how to talk about it with their doctors. Fortunately, there's a movement to destigmatize words like "poop" and "stool." The push to make poop talk less taboo. All the versions are Taylor's After a record-setting tour and plenty of NFL game appearances, Taylor Swift noticeably disappeared from the public spotlight this year. The superstar's vacation even seemed to frustrate some fans, who had grown accustomed to seeing her in public for the past year-plus. But on Friday, Swift showed them what had kept her so busy: acquiring her original music catalogue. The deal ended the musician's long fight to own and control her art. It won't be a cruel summer for Taylor. Not even Taylor Swift can take a vacation without backlash The rise of "ab etching" More men are requesting cosmetic procedures, and their abs aren't off limits. "Ab etching" is a type of targeted liposuction that makes abdominal muscles more pronounced. This kind of fat removal can be painful and requires an ab-defining lifestyle to maintain. BI spoke with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright about who may be the right fit for this procedure. Some should steer clear, though. The one filler this cosmetic surgeon is begging you not to get Stuck in sex work Ayesha Kazim for BI Faced with a brutal job market, some Gen Zers turned to sex work to make ends meet. For many of them, it was the quickest way to achieve financial freedom. Because of the economic downturn of the past few years, many strippers, escorts, and camgirls have had to slash rates to compete for clients.
