Kris Troup
Licensed Esthetician & Owner
I named my business Bella Persona because I truly believe we all have our own unique kind of beauty, and I want to help people look and feel their confident best.
My journey started with my very first facial back in 2001. I honestly don’t remember anything specific about the service itself - I don’t even think we talked that much - but I will never forget how I felt afterward. I was unexpectedly emotional, almost as if she held my heart in her hands. Even after being a massage student years earlier, I had never experienced that level of care.
That moment was more than a treatment.
It was an experience, and it stayed with me. It changed the entire course of my life. I knew right then that I needed to change careers so I could give others that same sense of comfort, presence, and care that I received.
All these years later, that feeling is still what drives me. Being an esthetician is deeply personal and intimate work. Doing it well means being fully present, blending skill with passion, and making every guest feel heard, understood, and validated.
I’m lucky - I’ve found where I’m meant to be. And I truly love what I do.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
