As we continue to witness the devastating impacts of recent hurricanes, our hearts go out to all those affected, especially within the beauty industry. Salons, spas, and beauty professionals are often hit hard by these disasters, facing extensive damage to their businesses and livelihoods. To support those in need, we’d like to spotlight two incredible relief resources available to our community: the Salon & Spa Relief Fund and the Professional Beauty Association's Disaster Relief Fund.
Salon & Spa Relief Fund: Providing Emergency Support
The Salon & Spa Relief Fund was established in 2005 to help salon and spa owners, employees, and beauty professionals recover from natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and fires. The fund provides immediate financial assistance to individuals and businesses in need, helping them rebuild their lives and restore their businesses. Since its inception, this fund has distributed over $2.5 million in aid to beauty professionals across the country.
After recent hurricanes, many salons and spas have suffered extensive damage, forcing closures that disrupt livelihoods. The Salon & Spa Relief Fund steps in during these critical times, offering vital support to help beauty professionals get back on their feet. If you or someone you know is affected, or if you're in a position to help, please consider donating to this important cause. Every contribution helps a beauty professional rebuild their dream.

Professional Beauty Association (PBA) Disaster Relief Fund: A Lifeline for Stylists and Owners
In addition to the Salon & Spa Relief Fund, the Professional Beauty Association’s Disaster Relief Fund is another valuable resource offering aid to beauty professionals. Since 1955, the PBA’s fund has provided financial relief to licensed beauty professionals impacted by natural disasters. This fund covers essentials like rebuilding efforts, equipment replacement, and immediate financial needs.
With hurricanes and other natural disasters becoming more frequent, the PBA’s Disaster Relief Fund continues to be a critical safety net for the beauty community. Donations to this fund go directly to beauty professionals in need, helping them restart their businesses and regain stability.
