| Beauty Industry to take Capitol Hill by Storm

Each year, PBA and other members of the Professional Beauty Federation (PBF) invite Capitol Hill to share an evening with important members of the small business community – salon owners and licensed professionals.


During this year's 8th Annual Welcome to Our World event, the salon industry will ‘make over’ Congress. And as Congressional representatives and their staffs experience haircuts, manicures and massages, PBA members take the time to explain the issues that are critical to their success as small business owners: health care, the potential of a Tip Tax Credit, the labor shortage and
cosmetology education.

“This annual event brings a $60-billion industry to Capitol Hill in just one night,” explains Eric Schwartz, president of the Professional Beauty Federation. “Our message is that the entire industry stands united in asking for support of these important issues.”

This year's Welcome to Our World is scheduled for October 16, 2007 in Washington, DC. Nail technicians, hair stylists, and greeters are still needed. For more information on how to volunteer, please contact Sam Leyvas at 800.368.5242 x118 or Samantha Alvis at x117.
