The wedding isn't until 3:30 and the bridal party will be at the hair salon for five hours in the morning. What are some ways I can entertain them while we all get our hair done. They will have a lot of down time when they aren't the ones getting their hair done.
Re: Morning of wedding
Can you allow girls to come at staggered times? They may want to hang out the whole time, but this gives the option of know when their time slot is and coming/going as they please.
I'm assuming you won't be getting dressed at the salon so you will still meet up with everyone where you are getting dressed, which is far more exciting that watching people get their hair done.
If you're really adamant that they are all there for the full hours, I'd definitely provide some food at the salon and let them know that it will be one person at a time getting their hair done. Let them know that there will be a ton of down time so bring something to entertain themselves.

5 hours--UFFDA! as we say in the north.
If you are not getting your hair and makeup done at the venue, I would suggest either adding some additional services, like a mani/ pedi, or maybe even get your make up done there.
Also, feeding them. At my FSIL wedding, we all got ready at the venue, and when someone wasn't getting their hair done, they were setting up the venue, or having their make up done.
My FMIL aslo had a cooler full of apple slice packages, carrots packages, a bag of rolls, some deli meats, cheese and some crackers, as well as some bottles of water. This was a life saver.
