Had my hair colored and cut by Trinity. I am mostly grey and she did a fabulous job in blending my color. My family can’t say enough about my cut and style. Great job Trinity!

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 absolutely love my hair cut with Morgan. It turns out so gorgeous. We did balayage, which gives such a soft, natural look to the hair. I love how Morgan was incredibly friendly and detail-oriented, and very meticulous in the best way. You can tell she really cares about her work. I also got massage in this place, which was incredible too.

I had the most awesome 60 minute facial with Jennifer yesterday. It was very relaxing and my skin just glowed afterwards. Doing it again next month. Can’t wait!! After my facial I was offered a complementary blowout from Dan. Also very relaxing!

Kendall does a wonderful job on my hair! New owner, Missy, has updated the interior. She's very concerned about her salon's clients. Very relaxing atmosphere. A bit pricey, but that's the area. It's worth it, though.
