Who is

Ahbai?AHBAI represents, the American Health & Beauty Aids Institute, African-American Manufacturers United to Support our Community. AHBAI was founded in 1981 by 10 Black manufacturers who recognized that united they could accomplish more for the beauty industry than they could achieve individually. Since that time, AHBAI has grown into a respected industry resource and advocate for the Black community at large.

Recognized best by the Proud Lady symbol, the symbol of AHBAI companies whvich appears on the back of all of their products, AHBAI is committed to serving the community and cosmetologists who have helped them to grow. The Proud Lady symbol on a package assures cosmetologists that the product was manufactured by a company that re-invests its profits in the community. The symbol is designed to encourage African-Americans to recycle their dollars within the Black community.

AHBAI in turn recycles these dollars by providing jobs, scholarships, and contributions to major charitable organizations who support the African-American community.

In addition to the support of the UNCF, AHBAI, through its Fred Luster Education Foundation, provides thousands of dollars in scholarships to high school and Basic cosmetology students to encourage more students to continue their pursuit of a career in Cosmetology.

The Proud Lady Beauty Show is dedicated to the needs of cosmetologists, barbers, cosmetology and barber students and nail technicians. The show attracts thousands of industry professionals nationwide. It features hands-on workshops, product demonstrations, styling competitions and an exciting exhibit floor.

AHBAI’s Salon Advantage Club continues to focus on cosmetologists, barbers and nail technicians and strengthens the link between Black beauty professionals and product manufacturers. Club members receive information on the latest beauty trends, and salon management tips through our newsletter.AHBAI’s newest program “Industry Partners” unites all manufacturers in the ethnic HBC industry to collectively strengthen the ethnic hair care and beauty industry.

These programs and others clearly demonstrate AHBAI’s contribution to the industry. AHBAI has strengthened the ethnic beauty industry and continues to create new options and greater opportunities for Black cosmetologists and barbers working within the trade.

Looking ahead, AHBAI will continue to promote and enhance the ethnic beauty care category to ensure future growth for the entire industry.
