Kurt takes art and energy seriously, and he will take you just as seriously. With an undergraduate degree in fine art, he treats every guest as a canvas and every appointment as a chance to create something intentional. You will find him at Bella Trio Salon and Spa at the RTP location in Durham.

His work lives where modern and classic meet: transformational, unique, vibrant color paired with traditional cuts rooted in real technique. Kurt loves special, statement-making color and the way the right shade can genuinely transform a person, and his respect for classic cutting comes straight from his background in art and craft.

The experience he creates is quiet and rejuvenating, the kind of recuperative time and space you can truly sink into. His ideal guest is someone ready to slow down and let a confident hand take the lead. Guests often mention his positive energy, his strong hands, his quick wit, and the assurance he brings to the chair. His approach in three words: eclectic, direct, and kind.

To keep color and shine looking their best between visits, Kurt often reaches for Kevin Murphy Shimmer Shine.

Outside the salon, he is a devoted board game enthusiast and a proud dog parent.
