More than half of the professional beauty industry are not covered or supported by an industry body. The other half are scattered across industry and non-industry specific associations. The lack of unison leaves the industry exposed in the face of challenges with little to no voice when presenting to government. We are not being heard and it’s leaving our industry compromised and fighting many independent battles as opposed to one strong one. It’s time for a united front that authentically represents you and your industry. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. If we are to be recognised for the advanced industry we are, then the time has come for all people, across all segments of the Professional Beauty Industry to join forces and be heard. Built on the values of consistency, professional standards and advocacy, the Aesthetic Beauty Industry Council (ABIC) was founded. Dedicated to providing an authentic, ethical and supportive community for industry professionals, ABIC has been established for the betterment of professional standards, working practices and unity of the salon, clinic, spa industry, existing associations and to help the consumer identify quality treatments and experiences.
