The Professional Beauty Association and Pivot Point International recently joined forces to develop Pro Beauty Pulse , an ongoing research initiative designed to provide a monthly view of confidence and sentiment across both the professional beauty and beauty school markets. The beauty school portion of Pro Beauty Pulse is tracked separately and focuses on beauty school leaders. It similarly examines their assessment of the past 30 days, current school conditions and expectations for the next 30 days. Tracking the professional and school markets independently, while following both consistently over time, gives Pro Beauty Pulse a broader view of how different parts of the beauty industry are experiencing and responding to changing conditions.
