The beauty industry, along with countless lives and communities, has been deeply impacted by California’s wildfires. But in the face of adversity, our community’s light shines brighter than ever.

Our industry is already stepping up: sharing words of encouragement, launching fundraisers, and raising awareness about the PBA Disaster Relief Fund. Every dollar raised goes directly to beauty professionals affected by natural disasters, offering a crucial lifeline when it’s needed most.

Your support makes a difference. It provides a lifeline to those in need, ensuring our industry remains strong and resilient. Together, we’ve proven time and again that when we unite, beauty doesn’t just survive—it thrives.

With deep industry roots and a proven track record of fostering collaboration and innovation, Leslie Perry is set to lead PBA into a dynamic new chapter.

Future Leaders empowers the next generation of beauty professionals by connecting them with a unique community that inspires growth, nurtures career development, and fosters meaningful connections for a thriving future in the industry.
