The National Cosmetology Association is a leading advocacy group for beauty professionals, and the State Cosmetology Boards play a crucial role in regulating the industry and promoting fair practices. The Professional Beauty Association is working to address oppression and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the industry. By acknowledging and addressing oppression in the cosmetology industry, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable environment for all.
