The Post-Merger PBA: Getting Down to Business
The past year has been rife with change as the former Beauty & Barber Supply Institute (BBSI),
American Beauty Association (ABA) and The Salon Association (TSA) became the Professional
Beauty Association (PBA). I want to personally thank you, our members and industry partners, for
your patience during recent months as we took some rather bold steps to shape and strengthen the
organization. As a result of this merger, our collective association has many new opportunities.
Melissa William
Yamaguchi Ranney
Chair Chair-Elect Ultimately, our mission remains the same: to provide resources, education, ideas and advocacy
to enhance the power and performance of the professional beauty community. As a result of
our new relationship, we believe we are better positioned to carry out that mission—to meet the
diverse needs of our members and better serve the entire community as we confront current
and future challenges.

We will gain from greater support and emphasis on:

Tom Clifford Lee Rizzuto, Jr. • Advocacy & Government Affairs. Take the time to examine the victories outlined in this
Secretary- Vice-Chair newsletter. If numbers is the name of the game in Washington, then we stand a greater
Treasurer
chance of being heard with clarity. Of the concerns that affect one of us, the end result
will benefit us all.
• Public Relations & Image Building. Focusing on PR will surely enable us to aggressively
drive the message of our importance.
• Research & Statistics. Our recently launched National Salon Industry Profile and Fact
Guide are welcome additions to our current offerings. And there are more to come!

In addition to these gains, one of the most important gains is that of the administrative staff. For
Bill Gray George 2/3 of the associations’ memberships and boards, the relationship is favorably strengthened. The
Schaeffer newest addition to our group gains from the vast knowledge and professionalism this staff brings.

How do we as an association benefit from our members? We benefit from impassioned,

involved people wanting to make a difference. Lip service doesn’t work. Opinions from the
backseat don’t count. What does count is your voice. What does work is your involvement.
What matters is what you think and what you do. This year will present us with an awesome
task: to raise the bar and put our money where our mouths are. We can make this industry a
better one. After all, it is OUR industry.

Jon Sasha Rash I challenge you to become engaged. I urge you to join a committee. I invite you to share your
Shakour ideas with your section’s leadership council or with the governing council members listed
to the left. To find out how, contact Member Services at 800-468-2274 (480-281-0424). We
represent YOU. We work for YOU. Arm us with the proper tools to make the best decisions for
YOU and then hold us to it.

PBA has gained a good deal of positive momentum during the past seven months since the
inception and we are already building on that progress in 2005. We encourage you to continue to
let us know what we are doing well and what we need to improve on moving forward. Please read
on to see what you can expect in 2005 from PBA—and thank you for your continued support.

Industry Profile
and Pocket Guide

PBA’s Salon & Spa Section (TSA) commissioned an
economist to develop an economic profile, creating—
for the first time ever—a salon-specific description
of the industry’s impact on the nation’s economy.
All data was sourced through the U.S. Department
of Labor and the Census Bureau. Highlights of the
profile include the following findings:
• There are more than 655,000 salon-industry
establishments in the United States.
• The vast majority of salon-industry
establishments are small businesses, in
terms of annual sales volume. 51% of
salon-industry establishments (with payroll
employees) have annual sales of less than
$100,000, while 84% of establishments have
annual sales of less than $250,000.
• 46% of all individuals in the salon industry
are self-employed.
• Non-supervisory employees in the salon industry
earned an average of $11.75 per hour in 2003,
excluding tips. In comparison, non-supervisory
employees in the overall private sector earned
an average of $15.35 per hour in 2003.
• Since 1990, average hourly earnings of
salon-industry employees have risen steadily.
The average of $11.75 per hour earned by
non-supervisory employees in the salon
industry in 2003 represented a strong 67%
increase above the $7.03 earned in 1990.
In comparison, the average hourly earnings
of non-supervisory employees in the overall
private sector increased at a lower 51% rate
between 1990 and 2003.
• There are over 754,000 salon/spa professionals
in the United States.
• A diverse workforce is a hallmark of the salon
industry. 14% of salon-industry employees
are African American, compared to a national
average of 11%. 11% of salon-industry
employees are Asian, compared to just 4%
of the overall U.S. workforce. 11% of salon-
industry employees are of Hispanic origin,
slightly below the national average of 13%.
• 84% of salon-industry employees are women,
compared to 47% of employees in the overall
U.S. workforce.
• Average daily sales are $80 million.

Tip Tax Bill: Small
Business Tax
Equalization &
Compliance Act
For the first time, we have early introduction of our
tip tax bill in both the House (H.R.1345) and Senate
(S. 327). The bill permits salon employers to claim
the 45(b) tip tax credit currently offered solely to the
restaurant industry. The legislation also provides
needed assistance to the federal government by
improving tip-reporting requirements for certain
sectors of the industry. Let’s make this the year we
return over $600 million back into the pockets of
salon and spa owners.
• Highlight from 2004.
In July 2004, the House Ways and Means
Committee, which has jurisdiction over this
legislation, held a hearing on tip-related issues.
Frank Zona, TSA board member, testified before
the committee’s Oversight subcommittee on the
legislation. The hearing succeeded in educating
lawmakers on the unique issues facing businesses
with tipped employees. Most importantly,
committee members recognized the inequity
that exists with regard to the tax credit, currently
available only to restaurant tipped-employees.
(Please call PBA/TSA for a copy of the testimony
as well as additional information on the hearing.)
SBA Victory
Earlier this year, the Small Business Administration
(SBA) announced their intent to change the definition
of a “small business,” making fewer businesses,
including salons, eligible for government programs.
In fact, the salon industry was singled out by
the SBA as an industry that would be negatively
impacted by the proposed change.
The proposal would establish “size” standards in
terms of the number of employees of a business,
rather than receipts-based size standards. For the
salon industry, the proposal would have changed
the current eligibility of salons with $6 million in
annual sales or less to salons with 50 employees or
less—eliminating more than 400 salon businesses
from eligibility for SBA assistance.
In late June, the SBA formally withdrew the proposed
rule. The Salon Association played a key role in
having the rule withdrawn. The Salon Association,
along with other small business industries, notified
the SBA of their strong concerns with the change
and urged that the rule be withdrawn. In the letter to
the SBA, the association wrote, “compared to the
vast majority of other industries, a larger number
of employees are needed in salons to generate a
certain amount a sales. As a result, it takes many
www.probeautyassociation.org
more salon employees to generate an annual sales
volume that would be considered ‘small’ in most
other industries.”
The Salon Association, along with
other small business industries,
notified the SBA of their strong
concerns with the change and
urged that the rule be withdrawn.
The SBA had set July 2, 2004 as the deadline for
comments to be filed. However, as a result of the
overwhelming opposition, including from TSA, the
SBA issued a statement rescinding the proposed
rule change on June 30. For a copy of the letter,
please call PBA at 800-468-2274 (480-281-0424).
Health Care Reform
Small businesses represent 60 percent of the
uninsured Americans in this country. Double
digit increases in health care costs and concerns
over premiums and liability issues are prohibiting
more and more small businesses from providing
health care to their employees. Several legislative
initiatives have been pursued this Congress to help
make health care more affordable:
• Medical Liability Reform.
Today, the country is facing a health-insurance
premium crisis. Some in Congress believe that
large jury awards may have contributed to health
insurance premium increases, forcing specialists,
such as OB-GYNs, to retire or move to neighboring
states. While the number of malpractice suits has
been holding steady, the average jury award has
increased 79 percent in the last ten years. Doctor
shortages in the health-care system may lead to
increased costs for small-business owners who are
voluntarily providing health care for their employees.
HR 5 and its Senate companion, S. 607, were
introduced IN 2004 to try to limit lawsuit-damage
awards. Watch for more developments this year.
• Association Health Plans (AHPs).
In most states, a handful of insurance companies
dominate the small-business market. Research
shows that small employers face fewer choices and
higher prices for health plans than bigger businesses.
In May 2004, the House of Representatives passed
legislation creating AHPs, which allow small
business owners to band together, across state
lines, to purchase health insurance as a group.
AHPs will allow small-business owners, through
their membership in a bona fide trade association
such as PBA, to purchase health coverage for
their families and employees. If AHPs became
law, a small-business owner could purchase
health benefits through any one of these entities
that would, in turn, act as a “human resources
department” similar to that of large companies.
Some are concerned that the AHPs legislation
omits standard safeguards that protect consumers
under current insurance programs. The U.S. House
of Representatives passed this legislation twice
during the 108th Congress, but the Senate did not
act before adjournment. Watch for more movement
on AHPs in the 109th session of Congress.
Overtime Rules
New federal regulations went into effect on
August 23, 2004, spelling out which employees
are entitled to receive overtime pay at time-and-
a-half rates under federal law after working 40
hours during a workweek. The changes may affect
your employees. The federal Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) exempts “executive, administrative
and professional employees” from overtime-pay
requirements under federal law. The updated
overtime regulations provide clearer guidelines
for both employers and employees regarding the
overtime status of “white collar” employees. The
House of Representatives voted to repeal the new
overtime rules, which passed by a vote of 223-193.
However, the provision is expected to remain in
place. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Web site
(www.dol.gov) offers full details on the regulations.
