    I had the hair, makeup, and mani/pedi for my entire bridal party done at Bella, and they took great care of us! We had our nails done the day to help keep the Big Day from being too crazy. My only complaint was the time estimates were WAY off. They told me the nails would take about an hour and a half for all 5 of us, and about the same time the next day for hair and makeup. The nails took closer to 3 hours and the next day took about 2.5 hours. However, Marty and his fantastic crew of girls kept us laughing and and snacking (mimosas and chocolate dipped fruit while we were getting worked on!) so we had a great time! The best part? The groom cried when he saw me! He was completely speechless! Thanks, guys!

    Bella was a wonderful place to have my hair done for the wedding! They have a wedding package available for you and your bridesmaids that includes updos, make-up, and complimentary champagne and fruit with chocolate dipping sauces. I scheduled a trial hair appointment which was very helpful since I got to know my stylist and figured out exactly what I wanted before the big day. They were very helpful and considerate to me and my bridesmaids, and the prices were reasonable. It's also a great location -- right in downtown FWB and near Destin. Definitely recommend!

    Wonderful! I went in and had an all day package. I had a facial, hair and make-up done. Everyone was so warm and inviting. It was a great way to plan for my sunset wedding. They can accomodate just about any request.

    we arrived in town on Thursday for a Saturday beach wedding. We traveled from Georgia and the brides personal hair stylist had been scheduled to come with us to provide hair and makeup for the bridal party. She cancelled on us Thursday morning before we left. When we got to ur condo we all began to use Google to search for a nearby salon. I had seen the sign for Bella as we drove through town earlier. I decided to call and explain the situation to Brittany, the salon owner. She was so understanding and helpful and managed to work all four bridesmaids and the bride in for the very next morning. We were treated wonderfully, and they do beautiful work. We were also treated to mimosas, a nice surprise. it was a gorgeous Salon and everyone there was so nice and helpful. it is nearly impossible to call a salon last minute like that and get the results that we did. Everyone looked beautiful and we are very grateful to Bella.

    Everyone at Bella was amazing and took care of myself & my girls. Our hair was beautiful and nails were awesome....
    I would highly recommend this group for a relaxing day of pampering for your wedding or even just a girls day. Mimosas were awesome...

    When I called to talk to Marty, he seemed like a great guy with a fun salon! It was exactly what I imagined! The girls were fun and enthusiastic! They provided mimosas and snacks so we had a great time. All of hair looked great and they all stayed throughout the day and overnight.

    My nails looked amazing too. They have some very talented people there and I felt like they had a great work dynamic! They so flexible with us and provided all the services we needed in a timely manner.

    The only advice I would give a blonde bride is to request that they have plenty of blonde bobby pins. We ran out of them. It all worked out though and was not that big of a deal because they hid them pretty well.

    Bella spa made me and my bridesmaids look our absolute best for my big day! As a diy bride I didn't get much sleep the night before. The ladies at the salon saw how tired I was and set me up in a room to take a nap while the rest of the girls got hair an makeup done. They also kept everything in schedule to make me beautiful without keeping me much longer. Additionally the girls working there were very sweet and able to do all of our current hairstyle requests

    I used Bella Day Spa for my wedding day hair and makeup. I brought in pictures for my hair and my stylist did a perfect job on the hair. I asked for natural, pretty makeup and I'm still not sure what I think about the outcome. The stylist urged me to try false eyelashes and I kind of wished I didn't. My fiance said, "You DO NOT look like yourself." However, I did get a lot of compliments and the eyelashes look great in the photos. If you take one piece of advice, DO A TRIAL RUN! I think that maybe I should have brought pictures of makeup. Even with that being said, I am still satisfied with the service they provided.

    My family, bridesmaids, and I came here to get our nails done for my Wedding. The staff at Bella Trio were overall pretty nice. They always offered us drinks while we were waiting. The outdoor patio was a nice touch, available for large parties to rent. They were slightly rigid about which services we got and which nail stylist did who's nails, they didn't appreciate any changes come the day of. Overall our nails looked fantastic and we were very pleased.

    I was scheduled to have my hair, makeup and nails at 12 and my wedding was at 3. My hair and makeup were great. When it came time to do my nails, I was told it would take 45 minutes and it was nearly 2:00. I was helped by someone else that used a different technique and was told it would last and would not chip. Unfortunately, my nails chipped and the polish is peeling off. Although my nails did look good for the weeding. Me and my mais of honor had to get dressed and out the door in 5 minutes to make it on time for the wedding.

    I used this salon for my bridal hair/makeup and while my hair came out nice and make up was ok, I was not happy with how they charged me and a few of my family members that had their hair done. They charged me $20 to glue on a strip of false eyelashes THAT I BROUGHT with me. The manager said he gave me a discount because they normally charge $45. Thats crazy. They also charged my sister and aunt $65 to style their hair an they did not even get up do's. The stylist literally spent 15 minutes on my sisters hair and she still had to pay the same price as I did for my full up do because they were a part of my "bridal party." I was really upset about the price my family had to pay for crappy/minimal styling.

    First, let me start off by saying that despite the multiple text messages I received confirming my appointment. I received a voicemail the morning of my wedding (they apparently had been trying to get ahold of me for a few days) asking to reschedule my appointment for 9am (my wedding was at 4pm) because my appointment was scheduled for a Sunday AND a holiday weekend so they were having trouble finding someone to do it. HELLO, you knew this when I scheduled my appointment three months ago! Yeah, so not about to have my make-up done 7 hours before my wedding! Anyway, the manager fixed the problem and was very professional in doing so. However, not only was I not given the hairstyle I asked for, my curls fell out not even 30 minutes after I left. Too bad I can't upload photos. They use that cheap "It" hairspray by the way. It smells really bad. So much for those quality products they boast about. I had to re-curl my hair and was late to my own wedding! Not to mention my eyelashes fell off. Thank God I happened to have eyelash glue. I had asked for individual eye lashes (which they told me they had when I scheduled my appointment) but they said all they had were the strips. I also had to touch up my make-up. The stylist never once asked me what I wanted. In natural light it was WAY too light so I dusted my face with bronzer. I also realized that she never put any mascara on my bottom lashes. I'm not sure she even sure she knew how to highlight eyes or cheekbones because she didn't. And don't even get me started on the brown lip liner she tried to put on me. What is this the 90's? I asked for a light pink gloss on my lips but they didn't have any so I ended up having to borrow my 12 year old daughter's. Furthermore, I was charged WAY more then they quoted me. I paid almost $200 for this mess, please don't waste you money!
