cuts | color | enhancements
Your hair is personal, and so is the way we approach it. Our customized service menu keeps the focus on you, the guest, and what your hair actually needs. Education is one of the core values at Bella Trio, and our stylists are trained in the current and advanced techniques in their field, from precision cutting to dimensional color, keratin smoothing, and reparative treatments. Every appointment is designed around your hair type, your lifestyle, and your goals, along with an escape from the everyday.
Hair services are available at all three Bella Trio locations: Bella Trio Salon and Spa at Sutton Station in Durham, Bella Trio Studio at American Tobacco Campus in Downtown Durham, and Bella Terra Salon in Hillsborough.
Our services are gender neutral. Every cut, color, and style is priced by the work involved and your stylist's level, never by gender. Whoever you are, you are welcome in our chairs, and your service is built around your hair and what you want.
The Consultation
Every customized service at Bella Trio starts with a consultation. Whether you are booking a haircut, a color change, or a reparative treatment, your stylist takes time to understand your hair type, its current condition, and the result you are hoping for before any work begins.
For color corrections, creative color, permanent waves, and extensions, a separate consultation is required first. This gives your stylist the chance to assess your hair, plan the process, and set realistic expectations so your appointment is set up for success. It is a conversation, not a sales pitch.

That might mean going lighter after a color turned out too dark, evening out uneven or banded color, toning down brassiness, or correcting an at-home color that did not turn out the way you wanted. Because every correction is different, this service starts with a consultation so your stylist can assess your hair, plan the process, and set realistic expectations before any work begins.
Creative Color - By Consultation Creative color is custom, multi-shade color work for a whole new look. That can mean blending several tones together, from natural blonde and brunette shades to high pigment, vivid colors like purple, blue, and pink. Whether you want a dimensional multi-tone blend or a bold fashion color, creative color starts with a consultation so your stylist can assess your hair and plan the right approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a consultation before a color appointment?
A consultation is required first for color corrections, creative color, permanent waves, extensions, and keratin smoothing treatments. Standard cuts, root touch-ups, and dimensional color can be booked directly, and your stylist will always consult with you at the start of the appointment.
Do you offer balayage?
Yes. Balayage falls under our dimensional color services. Because it is a hand-painted technique, your stylist will recommend the right placement and pricing for your hair during your appointment or consultation.
Do you do keratin treatments?
Yes. We offer keratin smoothing treatments that reduce frizz, smooth the hair, and cut down styling time. Because the right option depends on your hair type and goals, these are offered by consultation so your stylist can recommend the best fit
Why do your prices say “and up”?
Bella Trio uses a level system. Stylists are placed in levels based on their experience, training, and demand, so the starting price reflects the provider you book. This lets you choose the stylist who fits what you are looking for.
Do you cut children’s hair?
Yes. We offer children’s cuts and children’s barber cuts for kids under 10 at Bella Trio.
Do you cut and style curly and textured hair?
Yes. Many of our stylists are Air Curly Cut certified and trained to cut curls dry, shaping each one to your natural pattern. We work across every texture, from waves to tight coils. Learn more on our curly hair page.
Where are you located?
Bella Trio has three locations: Bella Trio Salon and Spa at Sutton Station in Durham, the Studio at American Tobacco Campus in Downtown Durham, and Bella Terra Salon in Hillsborough. Hair services are available at all three.
Are your services gender neutral?
Yes. Every service is priced by the specific technique involved and your stylist's level, never by gender. Whoever you are, you are welcome in our chairs.
What is the difference between a barber cut and a regular haircut?
A barber cut is a clipper cut, shaped and detailed with clippers for a clean, structured finish. If you prefer a scissor cut, our Shampoo, Cut & Style options are the way to go. Your stylist can help you decide which is a better fit.
What is the difference between creative color and corrective color?
Creative color is a custom, multi-shade color for a new look, from blended blonde and brunette tones to high pigment shades like purple and blue. Corrective color fixes color already on your hair, like going lighter after it turned too dark or correcting an at-home color. Both start with a consultation.
