My Stylist, Trinity, was excellent at getting my extra coarse and thick mane back in shape. She was able to add long layers and thin out the crown without cutting too much! She also spent considerable time teaching me again how to achieve the desired “ beach wave” style I prefer. She is also knowledgeable about…

Got in for a last minute appointment for a haircut today. That alone was great! First time with Trinity and she was amazing. She really took her time to figure out what would be a great cut for my hair. She took her time to cut it and style it. I love my haircut. It's the best one I've gotten in years! So glad I decided to come to Bella's today.

I had a fantastic 90 minute massage with Allison today and it was amazing. She was able to work out some really tight knots in my shoulder blades where I carry tension. I also had a shampoo and blowout with Ashley and will be going back to see her for a haircut in the future. The whole experience was relaxing from…
