"Real beauty grows where kindness, gratitude, and self-care meet.”
This season reminds us just how thankful we are for our Bella Trio family, both our amazing team and every guest who walks through our doors. Your trust, loyalty, and energy make this space more than a salon and spa. It is a community that shines from the inside out.
Thank you for choosing Bella Trio as your place to relax, recharge, and feel your best. We are truly grateful for you.
What Is an Aircut and Why Everyone with Curls Is Talking About It
If you have curly, wavy, or coily hair, you know one size never fits all. What works for straight hair usually does not work for curls, and a regular layered cut can leave your hair feeling bulky or uneven. That is where the Aircut comes in.
The Aircut is a new haircut technique made just for textured hair. It was created by stylist and educator Tippi Shorter with the goal of helping curls move and breathe. Instead of cutting your hair wet or straightened, the Aircut is done on dry, natural curls so your stylist can see how each curl lives and falls in real life.
By creating small “air pockets” inside the layers, this cut removes extra weight while keeping your shape and volume. It works with your curls, not against them. The result is hair that feels lighter, bouncier, and more defined — the kind of shape that grows out beautifully and still looks great between appointments.
If your curls have been feeling heavy, flat, or shapeless, the Aircut could be exactly what you need. Ask your stylist if it might be a good fit for your hair type next time you visit Bella Trio.

This month at Bella Trio, we are celebrating women who inspire strength, wisdom, and confidence at every age.
Welcome Sabia Health to the Bella Trio Neighborhood
If you are a woman over forty, you know that your body starts speaking a little louder than it used to. Sleep may not come as easily, energy dips in the afternoon, and the mirror sometimes feels like it has a mind of its own. We talk about beauty and confidence every day at Bella Trio, but true confidence starts with feeling good inside. That is why we are so excited to welcome Dr. Abigail DeVries and Sabia Health to our building.
Dr. DeVries created Sabia Health for women in midlife who are ready to understand what is happening with their health and to feel like themselves again. She listens, educates, and helps women find real solutions, not quick fixes. Her care is evidence based and personal, designed to help women thrive now and age strong. We are thrilled to have her as a neighbor and to share another space in Durham that puts women’s wellness and wisdom first.
Dr. DeVries has so much more to share about thriving through midlife and feeling like yourself again. Click here to read our full interview and learn more about Sabia Health.
Lifted, Bright, and Effortless
This season’s most popular look is all about natural lift and brightness. Pairing a lash lift with a healthy skin glow gives an instant “wide-awake” look that lasts. Lash lifts enhance your lashes’ natural curl and length, while radiant skin draws attention to your eyes and smile.
Our estheticians recommend combining your lash lift appointment with a brightening facial or gentle peel to boost your glow and keep your skin hydrated through cooler weather.
Join Us in a Month of Gratitude
This time of year always reminds us how much there is to be grateful for, not just in the big milestones but in the quiet, simple moments that make up our days. At Bella Trio, we are thankful for our team, our guests, and every shared laugh, conversation, and transformation that happens inside these walls.
Gratitude does not have to be grand. It can be as simple as that first sip of coffee in the morning, the warmth of the salon lights, or the feeling you get when someone compliments your new haircut. Taking a few seconds to pause and notice those moments can shift your entire day.
We invite you to join us in a Gratitude Practice this month. Each day, write down one thing that brings you joy, comfort, or peace. It could be a person, a memory, or something small that made you smile.
To make it easy, we created a Gratitude Template you can download, fill out, and share on social media or print at home. Tag @BellaTrioSalonSpaNC when you post so we can fill our feed with thankfulness and positivity all month long.
Because when we slow down and look around, we realize we already have so much to be grateful for.
Fall Hair Revival: Repair and Restore
As the air gets cooler, your hair often needs a little extra care. Fall weather can bring dryness, dullness, and static, but the right treatment can bring your hair back to life.
At Bella Trio, we love using Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatments and Kevin Murphy masques to repair and rehydrate the hair. Fusio-Dose delivers a powerful, customized blend of nutrients right at the shampoo bowl, giving instant shine and strength. Kevin Murphy’s rich masques provide deep conditioning at home, leaving your hair soft, smooth, and full of movement.
Ask your stylist which treatment is best for your hair type during your next visit. A few minutes of extra care can make a big difference in keeping your hair healthy, hydrated, and beautiful all season long.
Relax, Restore, and Reconnect: The Power of Massage
When life gets busy, it is easy to treat rest like a reward instead of a necessity. Massage therapy reminds us to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with our bodies. It is more than relaxation — it is a reset for the mind, muscles, and spirit.
At Bella Trio, our licensed massage therapists customize every session to your needs. Whether you want deep tissue work to ease tension, aromatherapy for calm and clarity, or a hot stone treatment to melt away stress, each service is designed to help you feel balanced again.
Massage improves circulation, supports better sleep, reduces stress hormones, and can even boost mood and energy. It is one of the simplest ways to care for your body and quiet your mind — a gift to yourself that lasts long after you leave the spa.
This season, we invite you to schedule time to unwind. Step away from the noise, release what no longer serves you, and let us help you feel renewed inside and out.
