Michigan Association of Beauty Professionals was founded by Kristan Sayers: a Michigan native, salon owner, International Design Artist, educator, and stylist. Kristan saw a need in her home state for an association that could unite the industry and helps elevate its standards. Too many people have their license who have not practiced their craft in years and do not plan to start in the near future! Our belief is that any person holding a state license for practice should be an active participant. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kristan teamed up with Vice President Tari, and it was a match made in heaven. Together they are working to bring CEU hours into our state, safe work environment plans, apprenticeship license requirements reviews, Education Events and so much more.
Also, in our ever-changing industry, we believe you must stay current with your education. This can only happen when beauty professionals are trained and work in a collaborative environment. Collaboration is one of the best tools we can use to become better professionals in the beauty industry, whether its in person or the Internet. Michigan was in need of an organization that could gather the ideas of beauty professionals across the state and compiles it into one place. We want to be your voice.
Our goal is to enhance and elevate the image of licensed salon professionals in Michigan. We want to create awareness of our professional beauty products and services through constructive public relations and activities that build a positive image around our industry. We will gather a broad spectrum of industry opinions through surveys, discussion, and advisory groups. This data will then be used to help develop public policy at the state and local levels.
At the Michigan Association of Beauty Professionals, we are committed to elevating the beauty industry and ensuring its growth and sustainability. Our mission is to shape public policy that supports and protects beauty professionals, strengthen industry regulations to create a thriving future and promote positive public awareness of the beauty profession and its essential role in our communities.
We invite all members of the beauty industry to join us in this collective effort, including independent and multi-salon owners, salon managers, manufacturers, distributors, hairstylists, colorists, barbers, nail artists, estheticians, electrologists, permanent makeup artists, and all other beauty professionals.
Together, we can drive meaningful change and set new standards of excellence and innovation in Michigan’s beauty industry. Be part of the movement to shape the future of our profession.
