The blend on this balayage is just unfair. 🤌

I realized I’ve shared plenty of hair transformations, salon moments, and behind-the-scenes content, but I’ve never really taken the time to properly introduce myself.
So, hi! I’m Bella. The owner of Bellavie Salon, a hairstylist, a mom of two boys, and someone who’s always looking for ways to grow. 🤍
I’ve spent over 15 years in the beauty industry, and opening Bellavie has been one of the biggest and most rewarding chapters of my life.
I’ve always loved doing hair, but over the years I’ve realized that what I love just as much is learning, challenging myself, connecting with people, and creating something meaningful.
Opening my own salon gave me a whole new perspective on this industry. It’s pushed me to become not only a better stylist, but a better leader, business owner, and person. And trust me, I’m still learning every single day!
When I created Bellavie, I wanted more than just a beautiful space. I wanted a salon where education never stops, quality matters, and every client feels welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
Outside of the salon, I’m a mom first. I love my quiet mornings, a good workout, a book that actually teaches me something, and conversations that go beyond small talk. I love to laugh, spend time with family and friends, and I’m always up for something fun.
I’m a big believer in working hard, staying curious, and enjoying life along the way. I have big goals, but I also appreciate the little things.
I’m proud of what I’ve built, but I’m even more excited about everything I still want to accomplish.
To everyone who’s sat in my chair, supported Bellavie, or followed along on this journey, thank you. It truly means so much.
And if you’re new here, welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. 🤍
What you don’t see behind the photo… 🤍
Hours of work, thoughtful highlight placement, blending, toning, styling, and finally trying to capture it all in one photo.
Every color is customized to the person sitting in our chair, all while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process.
There’s so much that goes into creating beautiful lived-in color, and the finished photo only tells a small part of the story.

Low maintenance doesn’t mean NO maintenance. ✨
One of the biggest misconceptions about lived-in color and balayage is that once the warmth starts showing through, it’s time to lighten again.
Not necessarily!
Over time, your gloss gradually fades, allowing those underlying warm tones to resurface. That doesn’t mean your balayage needs to be redone.
For this appointment, we refreshed her gray coverage and brought her existing balayage back to life with a customized gloss to restore tone and enhance shine.
Just because your color is lived-in doesn’t mean it doesn’t need maintenance.
The beauty of lived-in color is that you can go longer between lightening appointments, but maintaining your tone in between is what keeps your color looking fresh.

Somewhere between brunette + blonde. 🤎
Soft contrast, brightness, dimension, shine, lived-in bronde.

For this transformation, we refreshed her roots and created a lived-in balayage designed to keep her brunette rich and dimensional without creating a high-maintenance grow-out. 🤎
The placement gives her brightness and movement while keeping depth through the brunette, so as it grows, everything stays soft and blended instead of leaving a harsh line.
And of course, we finished with a big, bouncy Bellavie blowout because the finish matters too. ✨

When full coverage starts feeling like a losing battle with resistant grays, it may be time to change the approach.
Gray blending isn’t about covering every gray. It’s about learning how to work with them. 🤍
For this transformation, we embraced her natural silver while adding brightness and dimension, creating a softer, more seamless blend without the harsh grow-out of traditional coverage.
Sometimes the answer isn’t more coverage. It’s a better blend.
And of course I used Shades EQ gloss to achieve this beautiful ash finish.

One year ago today, I opened the doors to Bellavie. 🤍
I didn’t have every part of the journey figured out, but I knew exactly how I wanted Bellavie to look and feel.
This year came with risks, lessons, growth, long days, wins, growing pains. Somewhere along the way, the vision became even clearer.
I’m incredibly grateful for every client who has trusted us, everyone who has supported Bellavie along the way, and for Sam for being part of our very first year. 🤍
I’m so proud of what we’ve built, but the vision is even bigger now than when I started.
Happy 1st Birthday, Bellavie. 🥂
This is only the beginning.
