Last night, the Washington Spa Alliance attended the Professional Beauty Federation’s

“Welcome to Our World” event held on Capitol Hill. The gathering was well attended by Members of Congress and their staff, local vendors and area spas and salons. The elegant Caucus room featured complimentary salon services (manicures, waxing, haircuts & touch-ups, make-up applications and chair massage) hors d’oeuvres, beverages and a sampling bag for every attendee.

The Federation’s mission last night was to create awareness of the professional beauty industry’s key issues: including access to cosmetology education, consumer protection, equitable taxation, fairness in financial aid for our students, and small business support.

Per the Federation’s web-site, the world of beauty is a $60 billion a year industry and touches more than 400 million people.

As 100’s of services were performed last night, which only demonstrated the impact that “the world of beauty” has on our lives… both for the givers and receivers, and this is what the Professional Beauty Federation is all about!
