About Us

Happy Stylist

Professional Beauty Association

Who We Are

We define ourselves by our Members: stylists, makeup artists, manufacturers, distributors, freelancers, employees, salons, spas, suppliers, beauty schools, and students. And we all share a common passion and goal: to do the work we love—and to be the very best in our business, elevating ourselves, each other, and our industry as we go. 

Through PBA, we unite to achieve that goal. We provide Members with valuable resources, support, and connections to help elevate and grow careers and the industry: empowering Members to do their best work, while supporting and advocating for them along the way. 

We’re proud to connect you with some of the most passionate talent in the beauty industry to help grow and support your career, brand, and business into something great.

From its beginnings as the men’s-only Beauty and Barber Supply Institute in 1904, to the esthetician-focused National Cosmetology Institute, to today’s leading producer of the most widely recognized events in beauty, PBA’s journey has helped to transform the beauty industry.
