About Us

Our Mission

At Industry Advocates, our mission is to empower salon professionals by being a catalyst for positive change in the beauty industry. We are dedicated to:

• Advocating for the rights, safety, and well-being of salon professionals.
• Educating and equipping individuals with the tools and resources needed to thrive.
• Building a unified community that supports inclusivity, safety, and sustainability.

We believe every salon professional deserves a workplace where their health, dignity, and contributions are valued. Regardless of background or circumstance, we strive to create a healthier, safer, and more equitable industry.

Inspiration That Drives Us

Advocacy is a collective effort. Just as salon professionals uplift each other in their craft, we aim to amplify their voices to create meaningful, lasting change. By fostering collaboration and unity, we’re not just building a safer industry; we’re creating a legacy of empowerment and mutual support.

Our Values

Our work is guided by three core values that reflect our commitment to the salon community:

1. Compassion: We approach every initiative with empathy, understanding the challenges and sacrifices salon professionals face daily.
2. Integrity: We uphold transparency and accountability, ensuring that every action we take is rooted in honesty and respect.
3. Advocacy: We are unwavering in our pursuit of justice, championing the rights of salon professionals and prioritizing their well-being.

Advocacy requires more than intentions—it requires action. We are here to be that action, working tirelessly to address the issues that matter most to salon professionals.

Industry Advocates is a movement dedicated to supporting and empowering salon professionals. We provide education on workplace safety, help advocate for better regulations, and work to ensure every professional and salon owner feels valued and protected. We also know that within the beauty industry, salon professionals often lean on each other for advice, encouragement, and mentorship. Advocacy shouldn’t be any different. We’re here to help you advocate for a better future – both for yourself and for the industry at large!
