Professional Beauty Federation of California

Welcome to the Official Web Site for the PBFC

We are the united voice for California's beauty industry working to raise the level of professionalism and the image of our industry in our state. We do this by working to influence public policy, industry regulation, and promoting positive public relations and perceptions of California's beauty and barbering profession. If you click over to the PBFC's Mission page, you'll learn more about the clear path we've defined,

If you are an independent salon owner, multi-salon owner, salon manager, manufacturer, distributor, hair stylist/colorist, nail artist, esthetician, electrologist or barber, this organization supports you (and your organizations) in pursuit of shared industry goals.

The PBFC's agenda is clearly outlined in the 'Future' section of this website. Progress toward those goals has been swift. For a review of recent progress, visit the PBFC 'Accomplishments' page.

The PBFC is proud of its accomplishments and we welcome your support, participation and communications as we move ahead into the future.
