From the moment you sit down, Stephanie wants you to feel one thing: that you are in a judgment-free space where you will be truly listened to and cared for. Building real relationships is her favorite part of the work, so she takes time to understand your lifestyle, your goals, and what makes you feel your best before any color or cut begins. You will find her at Bella Trio Salon and Spa at Sutton Station, our RTP location in Durham, and at Bella Terra in Hillsborough on Wednesdays.

She specializes in blonding, balayage, highlights, precision and air cutting, textured hair, keratin and conditioning treatments, and tape-in extensions. A certified L'Oreal Professionnel Expert and Kevin Murphy Session Stylist, she brings advanced training in color, scalp health, and editorial styling to every appointment, which means customized results and looks you can actually recreate at home. An educator at heart, she will always explain the why behind her recommendations so you leave confident about keeping your hair healthy between visits.

If you have ever felt frustrated with your hair, this is where that changes. Stephanie loves turning that frustration into confidence and a routine that genuinely fits your life. Whether you come in for a full transformation or a simple reset, she meets you where you are and creates an experience that feels personalized and relaxing, more like a true partnership than just another salon visit.

For anyone noticing thinning or less density, she often recommends Kevin Murphy Plumping Wash and Rinse alongside Kerastase Genesis Scalp Serum to support scalp health and fuller-looking hair.

Outside the salon, Stephanie is happiest cooking for the people she loves, working on a creative project like crocheting or sewing, and spending time outdoors near the ocean, the mountains, or the water. She is a devoted animal lover and a lifelong learner who stays current so every guest gets her best.
