The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) is made up of salons and spas, distributors and manufacturers dedicated to improving their individual businesses and the industry as a whole.

PBA's distributor section represents companies whose primary business is purchasing salon, spa, beauty and barber products and reselling those products at wholesale to beauty salons, barbershops and cosmetologists. This section also includes companies that sell beauty products over-the-counter.

Distributor members benefit from participation in PBA programs, such as the Center for Business Education (CBE). CBE provides advanced education for professional beauty industry distributors. Taught by successful peers, CBE classes are focused on industry issues. Distributors can also look forward to a new benefit-Distributor Business Blueprints-coming in January 2007!
