Loula Bella x Mary Irene Storytelling

"I just found out its' rough translation is "beautiful avenger," but the name came out of my mom's nickname for me." Delaney's dark eyes sparkled as she spoke of the space that is now known as her own, off 29th street in Kentwood!

The cream walls flickered in the candlelight as Delaney handed me astrology books and a fuzzy blanket as my hair set. As the bleach soaked in, we began talking about the story of Delaney...

I discovered her story to be that of a girl who's covered, head to toe, in ink and kindness. A sweet, fiery soul who's passion is helping others' become the best version of themselves... Delaney's story is many things but hearing it made me just about tear up. Vanilla lattes downed and blueberry muffins devoured, I realized above all, her story is genuine. Its absolute, humane beauty because it's the story of a girl who's made mistakes. Who worked her ass off to get everything she has. The story of a girl who took a chance on herself and it paid the hell off.

Loula Bella is a beautiful avenger committed to beautifying the avenged. Cheesy phrasing, to be sure, however she is a soul worth knowing... Her space is a place worth existing in...

She's a hairstylist, a beautician, and a holistic badass. Go to her for your hair. Go to her for your heart. Overall, you end up going to her for the positive feeling she gives to your soul (not to mention, she makes you look like ROYALTY!!!!)

So, there's #thestoryofdelaney

Don't believe me? Meet her and decide for yourself. I won't be wrong on this! ;)

Xo,
