“The ABBIES encourages innovation and creativity among those in the beauty business,” said Steve Sleeper, Executive Director – PBA. “In an industry committed to excellence, the ABBIES heightens the awareness of what it takes to be a leading professional beauty manufacturer, distributor or salon/spa owner.”

PBA has completely revamped the 10th annual ABBIES awards and celebration. “committee said axe the hotel ballroom, scrap the chicken dinner and kill the ho-hum,” reports John Heffner, PBA Governing Council Chair and head of the ABBIES Committee. “The ABBIES honors beauty's best, and the event should reflect that standard.”

This year's red carpet event takes place in a new venue—the Terrace Theatre—and promises to be an exquisite evening of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and awards honoring beauty's most brilliant marketing ideas. In addition, the PBA will pay special tribute to three industry luminaries with the ABBIES Icon Awards.
