I knew from the moment I found Bella that I wanted her to be my artist, and after finally getting to sit in her chair, I can say the whole experience was so much more than I expected.Bella listened. Like really listened. She was patient, present, and somehow understood the things I couldn’t quite put into words too. There were times we didn’t need to talk at all. She would just get in her zone and create, and I could tell she understood how much this meant to me. I also felt how much it meant to her to be trusted with someone’s story. That connection is hard to explain, but I felt it 💞And the entire staff… y’all 😂💙 What a crew. Funny, kind, caring and beyond hospitable. What really got me was sitting there and hearing the other artists with their clients. The same care was happening all around me. They listened to their stories, asked questions, took their time and were genuinely interested. Nothing felt transactional or rushed.There were celebratory shots, literally raising a glass to our stories and to them getting to be part of them. 🥃 At one point we were all sitting around the table eating together like family. It just felt good being there.Honestly, somewhere in all of it, it became a little like therapy 🥹. You come in trusting someone with your skin, but you’re also trusting them with pieces of your life and the reasons behind what you’re choosing to carry with you.Bella, I’m so grateful the universe aligned our paths. 🌔✨ Thank you for listening, for being present, and for putting your heart into your work. And to the whole crew, thank you for making me feel like part of the family for the day.You all are leaving pieces of yourselves with people every day. That ripple travels further than you know. 🌊💙 Can’t wait to be back.✨
