Braider Chassie Bell has launched Slayed by CBella at the Salon and Spa Galleria Bridgewood in Fort Worth, Texas, marking a significant addition to the local beauty and wellness landscape. This opening represents more than just a new business—it highlights the growing demand for specialized hair services that prioritize both artistry and hair health, offering residents access to skilled craftsmanship rooted in personal tradition.
Bell's approach to braiding is deeply personal, having learned the craft from her grandmother in sixth grade. "I learned by watching my grandmother," Bell said. "She showed me how it was done. That's how I got my start." Initially pursuing a career as a medical assistant, Bell continued practicing braiding techniques in her spare time before deciding several years ago to turn her passion into a full-time profession. "This isn't a job for me," Bell explained. "I enjoy what I do, and it's more of a passion. When I see the results of my hard work, and the wonderful feeling my clients experience when they have a new look, it's easy to see I'm doing the right thing."
The salon's emphasis on healthy hair sets it apart in an industry where proper hair care is often overlooked. Bell includes shampoo and conditioner with every braiding service, ensuring clients' hair is properly prepared before styling. This attention to hair health is particularly important as improper braiding techniques can lead to damage, making Bell's methodology valuable for maintaining hair integrity while achieving desired styles.
Slayed by CBella operates by appointment only, with Bell offering early-morning appointments starting at 5 a.m. Monday through Saturday to accommodate various schedules. The last appointment is available at 4:30 p.m. Clients can book online through https://chassiebell.glossgenius.com/, where they can also find information about services like the March Madness special running from March 15-31, featuring medium knotless braids for mid-back length at $165, not including shampoo and conditioner.
The salon's location within the Salon and Spa Galleria Bridgewood provides convenient access for clients throughout Meadowbrook and Fort Worth. Situated near several major interchanges and roadways, the facility offers easy access from any direction, along with plenty of free parking and handicap accessibility with wide hallways. This accessibility is crucial for ensuring all community members can utilize these specialized services.
