PBA - Professional Beauty Association
PBA is a non-profit trade association that represents the interests of the professional beauty industry, including manufacturers, distributors, salons and spas. 

Created in July 2004 when the members of the Beauty & Barber Supply Institute (BBSI), the American Beauty Association (ABA) and The Salon Association (TSA) joined forces, PBA brings these professional communities together for the first time to advocate for the industry collectively.

PBA serves the industry through five core competencies: education, government advocacy, commerce opportunities, research/statistics and public relations/image building. Members also benefit from extensive networking resources, business blueprints, benefit providers and more.
