The Society was instrumental in funding

during the procedure. Read more about that study here:

The SPCP is pleased to provide the results of the Industry Profile Study. With
nearly a thousand technicians reporting worldwide, this is the largest and most complete study to date for the permanent cosmetic industry. While this timely and critical data is reported here in a concise format, we are able to provide specific details upon request. This information is invaluable to the permanent cosmetic technician, trainer, and supplier.
