A Letter from

Outgoing PBA Chair

Melissa Yamaguchi

The most rewarding achievement of theProfessional Beauty Associations first yearis that were still an associationwe survived!

As with any marriage, each party broughtwith it its own culture, practices, distinctions,emotions, vision and memory. The initial goalupon merging was to bring together threedistinct and important organizations into aunified group with membership sections.Given the enormity of the goal, we stillset forth undaunted and accomplished amultitude of tasks.

We launched new member benefits, includinga valuable FedEx program, to help ourmembers conduct business more effectively.(Turn to page 12 for two benefit highlights.)

PBAs salon/spa section (TSA) continued asuccessful partnership with global leader

American Express. Through the ProfessionalBeauty Federation, we hosted Welcome to OurWorldour members were able to perform

services on 800 members of Congress andtheir staffs while discussing the issues thatmatter to us. We conducted over 70 Hill Visitsin May 2005 to encourage co-sponsorship ofour tip-tax legislation, HR 1345 and S 327.(Turn to page 6 for more information.) Wetestified at Small Business Administrationhearings across the country. And we launched

three critically important research documents:the National Salon Industry Profile (plus aPocket Fact Guide based on the same data),a State-by-State Guide for InfluencingCongress (with corresponding district-by-districtprofiles) and the Market Shipment Study.

The Professional Beauty Association alsosustained and grew ISSE, the west coastsbiggest beauty show. We expanded the

ABBIES to include distributors and salon/spaowners as well as manufacturers. The PBABeauty Ball & Charity Gala raised $100,000 forcharitable recipient Gildas Club Worldwide.We selected the winners for the 16th-annualNorth American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA)

and planned a tremendous ceremony tocoincide with Cosmoprof North America. Withour European partners, we continued to buildCosmoprof North America in its third pivotal

year. And the Professional Beauty Associatiojust conducted its first election. (Turn to pag4 to meet your new councils.)

The goal is to continue forth meeting the goaweve set and strengthening the brand of ouindustry. We are, however, only as successfas our members are engaged. I respectful

encourage your strong participation in youindustrys leading association. Start today bfilling out the member survey on pages 9-10

Our three leadership

council presidents offer their

insight on the last year and what

is in store for the future:

Last year, the culmination of three years ofstruggle and hard work was finally realizedthe merger of our three industry associations(ABA, BBSI and TSA) into the new ProfessionalBeauty Association. For me, it was the best oftimes and the worst of timesthe excitementof new possibilities along with the presidencyof the Manufacturer Leadership Council, butalso the challenge of merging ideologies ofthree vastly different associations into onecohesive group. I am proud to say we arewell on the way to meeting the challengeand look forward to becoming the voice ofthe professional beauty industry and a strongresource for our membership.

Myriam CliffordOutgoing President, PBA ManufacturerLeadership CouncilSpilo Worldwide (Los Angeles, CA)

The past twelve months have been mercurialto say the least in terms of distribution tosalons in the U.S. Some areas have hadmodest growth while others have sufferedthrough humbling declines. What this signalsis: dramatic changes will continue for months

to come. Factory-direct sales, diversion,distribution, manufacturer and salon chainroll-ups, along with a change in demand fromthe consumer have all had their effects on oursegment of the industryand will continue todo so for years to come. Distribution mustfind its niche in this changing market andcapitalize on it with an intelligent, aggressiveapproach and an expertise in education.

Jon ShakourOutgoing President, PBA DistributorLeadership CouncilR.G. Shakour, Inc. (Westboro, MA)

The Salon Association, PBAs salon/spsection, has had a successful year. TSAmembers testified before the Small Busines

Administration, sat down with members oCongress during our annual Hill Visits anraised $100,000 for government affairs. Ear

introduction in both houses of Congress gava big boost to our tip-tax legislation (see pag6). TSA published a National Salon IndustrProfile and a State-by-State Guide to U.SSalons. In regional meetings, on our activlistserve and one-on-one, TSA memberoffered support on business challenges anhelped celebrate successes. Looking aheadTSA has embarked on a member recruitmeneffort, attending industry events and reachinout to new audiences of salon/spa ownersMark your calendar for TSAs Symposium iSan Diego from January 14-17, 2006.

Envisioning the Future

The strategic plan seeks to define anEnvisioned Future for the association:a concrete, yet unrealized vision for theorganization. This envisioned future consists

of two strategic judgments. First, the BigHairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is a clear andcompelling catalyst that serves as a focal pointfor effort; it represents the intersection of whatour group is passionate about, what we dobest and what we can marshal the resourcesto accomplish. Second, a Vivid Description isan engaging description of what it will be liketo achieve the BHAG.

PBAs Big HairyAudacious Goal

Be responsible for significant industry

success that can only be achieved

through unified efforts in education,

commerce, advocacy and research.

Strategic Direction: Evolve from an event-management focus to an industry-trade-association focus.

Macro Program Strategy: Rebuild from thecore and reinvent based on common high-priority member needs consistent with theBHAG.

PBAs Vivid DescriptionThe vivid description explores how the worldcould be different for key stakeholders suchas members, customers, the public, theindustry, the association and beyond as aresult of PBA attaining its BHAG. This is adistillation of a much longer section of theworking document.

REPUTATION:

Consumers trust professional salon/spa

products and services over their retail

counterparts. Consumers recognize the value

of purchasing through professional channels.

WORKFORCE:Employment within the professional salon

industry is considered a respected, well-

compensated career choice with nationally

recognized credentials.

IMAGE:

Media looks to PBA for industry trends,

information and forecasts and values the

organization as a key resource on matters

of fashion, beauty and wellness.

ADVOCACY:Public policy makers recognize the

importance of the professional beauty

industry. Association members experience

bottom-line profit from successful advocacy

on issues significant to the industry.

PBA:

PBA is the definitive source for informatio

on the industry. The vast majority of industr

players are PBA members. Members enjo

access to an unparalleled portfolio o

products, services and benefits.

Building Foresight

The strategic plan also considers conditionstrends and assumptions that will help thassociation update its strategic plan on a

annual basis. The outcome-oriented goathat form the basis of the plan are base

on the anticipated future in areas such ademographics, societal values, legislationeconomic climate and technology. Aannual review of these conditions anexpectations provides a practical methofor ensuring the ongoing relevancy of thassociations goals and strategies.

PBA Goes to

Washington:

Members Hit the Hill

and Help at Welcome

to Our World in May

Mixing big beauty with big politics, PBA

stormed Washington, DC this spring to informCapitol Hill about tip-tax legislation and otherissues that affect our industry. At Welcometo Our World, PBA members gave Senators,Representatives and their staffs mini-makeovers with hair, nail, skin and massageservicesjust a taste of the feel-good benefitsthat our $60 billion industry provides daily tomillions of their constituents. And with twodays of Hill Visits, PBA members had morethan 70 appointments with their legislators todiscuss the Small Business Tax Equalization &Compliance Act (HR 1345 / S 327).

Hill VisitsPBA members hit the Hill armed with talkingpoints detailing how PBAs tip-tax legislationwill affect each congressional members

district and state. Speaking passionatelyabout what its like to be a small businessowner and their dedication to their employees,PBAs salon/spa section members (TSA)pitched the Small Business Tax Equalization& Compliance Act (S 327/HR 1345), whichhas been introduced in the 109th Congress.

The legislations goal is to amend the IRS codeto expand the 45(b) tip-tax credit currentlyoffered to restaurant owners to includesalon/spa owners. The legislation also seeksto promote tax compliance in the sectors ofthe industry that sometimes run under theradar of the IRSleveling the playing field byensuring that no one can lure a salon or spasemployees away with promises of tax-freeemployment elsewhere.

Sasha Rash, president of The SalonAssociation (the salon/spa section of PBA)explains, The tax credit proposed in HR 1345and S 327 frees up millions of dollars that willallow thousands of independent and chainsalons in every community across this countryto grow their businesses and give back to theiremployees through increased pay, benefitsand career advancement opportunities.

Members spent time with representatives fromover 60 congressional offices, including thoseof Senator Rick Santorum (PA), Senator JimTalent (MO), Senator John McCain (AZ), Senator

Dianne Feinstein (CA), Senator John Cornyn(TX), Senator Barbara Boxer (CA), Senator JonKyl (AZ), Senator Bill Frist (TN), Senator George

Allen (VA), Congressman Jim Nussle (IA),Congressman Tom Delay (TX), CongressmanJohn Linder (GA), Congressman Jerrold Naderand Congressman Sam Graves (MO).

Welcome to Our WorldThe tip-tax legislation message was furtherdelivered at Welcome to Our World, wherein conjunction with the Professional BeautyFederation, PBA members made-over

Congress, offering hair cuts, manicuresfacials and chair massages as examples othe services they perform in every districacross the country. During the service

members had the opportunity to explaithe issues that are critical to the succes

of the professional beauty industry ansmall business owners. Members toucherepresentatives including CongressmaNeil Abercrombie (D-HI), CongresswomaShelley Berkley (NV), Congressman HenrE. Brown, Jr. (SC), Congresswoman JulCarson (IN), Congressman Lane Evan(IL), Congresswoman Eddie BernicJohnson (TX), Congresswoman ZoLofgren (CA), Congresswoman CarolyMcCarthy (NY), Congressman DonaPayne (NJ), Congressman Jim Ramstad (RMN), Congressman Patrick J.

Nail Manufacturer Update

Due to recent regulatory changes regarding acceptable ingredients for cosmetics sold in the European Union, several widely used ingredients inail polish have come under scrutiny by domestic environmental groups and lobbyists. The ingredients in questionphthalates, formaldehydeand tolueneare common to most nail polish formulas and exist in minimal quantities, acting to keep polish pliable, prevent clumping andchipping, and to avoid thickening of the formulas.

While high-percentage concentrations of these chemicals have been proven to cause health concerns, the quantity in most nail polishes doesnot threaten the health of the wearer or technician. For example, for the percentage of phthalates found in the average nail polish to pose apotential risk, the wearer would have to use 5 bottles of nail polish everyday for their entire lifetime!

At the present time, the FDA does not have compelling evidence that phthalates, as used in cosmetics, pose a safety risk. For moreinformation on this important nail topic, please visit the FDA website at www.fda.gov. Or call PBA at 800-468-2274 (480-281-0424).

PBA Calendar

Research Update!Order Your MarketShipment Study Today

Each year, PBA hair care manufacturers

band together to offer insight into their

segment of the beauty industry. Manufacturer

members share valuable, proprietary

company information through an independent

accounting firm, which compiles the data and

extrapolates it to describe the full professional

hair care industry.

The Market Shipment Study describes the

monetary state of hair care, color, styling

and texture from 2002 through 2004. Offering

insight into industry trends and movements

over the past three years, these figures reflect

the best estimates of total market shipments

from the professional hair care market,

which are calculated by summing actual

and estimated sales. The study outlines the

industry in terms of not just hair care, color,

styling and texture, but the dollars being spent

on specific products and treatments that

address concerns in each area. The numbers

gathered from this report allow companies to

understand the make-up of the marketplace

and evaluate what hair care priorities are and

will be in the future.

While this report currently represents just the

professional hair care segment of the industry,

PBA plans to expand the study to incorporate

nail care and skin care manufacturers.

Eventually, the study will incorporate data

from salon/spa members and distributors in

order to develop the most complete picture of

the professional beauty market.

The data in the Market Shipment Study is

available nowhere else. Many manufacturer

members feel this study alone justifies

membership in the association. Those that

participate in the study receive a free copy.

Non-participating PBA members can order

a copy for $500. To purchase a copy of the

studyor to learn more about itplease

contact PBA Member Services at 800-468-
