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 agenda is clearly outlined in the 'Future' section of this website. Many of the agenda contents have been identified during 3 periods of Sunset Review process by our legislators themselves. During the most recent Sunset Review our industry voice was clearly heard by the legislators and the result was their call for new leadership for the Board of Cosmetology in 2006.

Since the naming of that new leadership and appointments of new board members, progress on many of the outlined issues has been 'stunning' and swift. For a review of recent progress visit the PBFC 'Accomplishments' page.

The PBFC is proud of our accomplishments and welcome your support and communications as we move into the future.
