Our Founder
Schneika Adonis is the visionary behind HBSA BeautyBar, a Tampa-based brand rooted in excellence, transformation, and intentional care. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and raised between Miami and Tampa, Schneika’s journey reflects resilience, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to serve others through beauty.
Her entry into the beauty industry began at Elegant Beauty Supplies, where customers frequently complimented her hairstyles and asked for her work. What started as admiration quickly became opportunity, and clients began trusting her with their hair long before she ever called herself a stylist.
At 18, Schneika felt a deep curiosity for beauty, but her family encouraged her to pursue a medical career. She worked in a hospital for a season, but the work never fulfilled her. Choosing purpose over expectation became a defining moment.
Being part of the beauty industry brought her genuine joy, peace, and clarity. She loved creating a space where clients, lovingly called her “butterflies” could feel safe, seen, and cared for. She also realized a passion for entrepreneurship: building a business, creating opportunities, and cultivating an environment where others could thrive.
In addition to her work as a stylist, Schneika has a strong background in marketing, fashion, and creative direction. Her love for dressing well, designing visuals, and creating content behind the camera plays a major role in shaping the HBSA experience, from the brand’s aesthetic to the atmosphere clients feel when they walk in.
From this blend of talent, calling, and vision, HBSA BeautyBar was born. Today, the brand is known for its exceptional faux loc craftsmanship, Christ-centered approach, and client experiences that go far beyond hair. Schneika leads with intention, ensuring every butterfly who sits in her chair is met with excellence, care, and authenticity.
Mission Statement
To serve with integrity, create with passion, and steward every client with honor.
The Experience
Since 2015, we have been honored to serve our clients in Tampa, Florida.
The experience
HBSA Beauty Bar, we simply care, about you, your hair, and how you feel while you’re here. From the time you book, we make things easy with reminders and updates so you always know what to expect.
When you walk in, you’re welcomed with a genuine hug and a friendly atmosphere. Soft music, a small snack, and a little refreshment help you settle in and take a moment for yourself.
If you booked the natural hair treatment, we’ll take you to the back for a full wash, a relaxing scalp massage, and a steam treatment to get your hair feeling healthy and refreshed. Then we head back to the main room to get started on your style. We look at your natural hair, talk through what you need, and make sure your foundation is solid before we begin.
We usually start the appointment with a sermon playing in the background, something uplifting to set the tone, and then switch to a Netflix show or movie to help you unwind. And honestly, sometimes the appointment turns into real conversation, real laughs, or even much-needed therapy. It happens naturally, and we welcome it.
At HBSA Beauty Bar, it’s not just about the hair.
It’s about the experience, the peace, and the space to just be yourself.
