Beauty Industry Council

The Beauty Industry Council (BIC) is the leader in advocating for legislation and rules that protect and promote Florida’s cosmetology students, licensed professionals, and salon owners.

BIC serves its members by promoting the interests of cosmetology professionals, addressing critical policies, and educating government officials. The council identifies issues and takes proactive measures to ensure its members are well represented.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of education and training for licensure and protecting members from negative impacts of deregulation.
