We recommend, institute and maintain in fullest possible cooperation with the State Education Department and other segments of the industry, such methods of operational standards in the beauty schools will result in a high degree of proficiency of their students. We exchange technical and commercial information.
About membership…
Our Association has been a forerunner in the Beauty Education Industry since its inception in 1933. Some of the greatest minds in our industry have been members, board of directors and past Presidents. We work closely with our Accrediting body (NACCAS) as well as the State Education Department and the Federal Department of Education.
We work with each other in times of question and uncertainty within our schools.
Regulations and rules change sometimes faster than it is possible to disseminate what the meaning behind a regulation was in the first place. The NYSBSA and its members and Government relation people help the school understand the affects these changes will have on our students and the way we conduct business in New York State.
The NYSBSA sponsors continuing education for Instructors on a quarterly basis as well as an annual Instructors seminar held in NYC every year with speakers that not only inform but motivate our instructional teams. Please see
the Teacher training page for more
