The Florida Retail Federation’s Beauty Industry Council represents and supports Florida’s beauty and cosmetology industry, including barbers, stylists, massage therapist and nail technicians, among others.

Members of the FRF Beauty Industry Council benefit from industry collaboration at our annual meetings, advocacy efforts by our legislative affairs team in Tallahassee and access to continuing education through our online training platform.

With this added support, you can focus on your number one goal: operating your business.

Advocacy
Each year, the Legislature seeks to change or update state statutes that may affect you. Working with the members of the Beauty Industry Council, we determine how these proposals will impact your profession and your business. Armed with this information, we testify at committee hearings and lobby members of the Legislature to protect the way you do business.
