Shelley's Story, Vision, & Mission
A Cultural Haven for Beauty, Grooming, and Wellness.
Beards & Bellas was born from lived experience - frustration, exclusion, and the relentless pursuit of better. As a teenager working in a department store, I quickly realized something many of us have felt; people of color – like me - were rarely seen in the beauty, health, and fashion industries. Finding a foundation that matched my skin tone without leaving an ashy cast or hair products that celebrated my natural texture instead of fighting it felt nearly impossible.
Over time, that experience turned into purpose.
​
I saw how mainstream retailers continued to place our needs on the bottom shelf—if they offered anything at all. We were expected to settle for products packed with harsh chemicals and stripped of cultural understanding. I wanted more than representation—I wanted restoration. So I built Beards & Bellas.
​
A Space That Sees You
​
Beards & Bellas is a gender-inclusive, multicultural marketplace where people of color are fully centered. We curate beauty, grooming, and wellness brands—95% of them minority-owned—that prioritize clean ingredients, cultural relevance, and high performance.
Whether you’re searching for skincare made for melanated skin, beard care with real hydration, or hair products that honor your texture, you’ll find it here.
This isn’t just about selling products. It’s about creating an experience—one rooted in culture, connection, and community.
​
Sip. Shop. Celebrate.
​
At the heart of our store is Sabrosura Coffee Bar, a flavorful extension of our mission. Inspired by Latin and Caribbean traditions, Sabrosura serves coffee, teas, and delicious goodies that feel like home. It’s more than a café—it’s a place to unwind, build community, and celebrate who you are.
​
Our Mission:
​
To redefine beauty retail by honoring culture, prioritizing inclusivity, and building a space where people of color and all gender identities feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
​

Beards & Bellas is a gender-inclusive destination where people of color can find high-quality, intentionally sourced products that honor our skin, our hair, and our identities. Every item on our shelves is curated with care, centering wellness, authenticity, and representation.
