about us
We are a community.
The beauty supply industry is traditional yet dynamic. Beauty Supply stores across the United States have been a part of our consumers' life for decades. Despite the rise of conglomerates in this field, beauty supply stores thrive because they are family stores that have served generations of customers. We know our customers by name and anticipate their needs. We are grateful to be able to provide our consumers with this type of service and cutting edge innovative products. Our organization is dedicated to training our members and relaying our customers' feedback to the manufacturers so we can continue to be their neighborhood store and give back to our community.
our story
Founded in 2002, the Beauty Business Korean Women Association of America (BBKWA) is an organization of female
business owners in the American beauty supply retail industry. Recognizing the need for women's representation in the industry, BBKWA is taking the lead in improving the quality of women’s roles and business development through their networks.
​
The primary focus of the gathering is to exchange useful information between the members and receive training through product seminars. In addition, BBKWA works in conjunction with other organizations in the beauty industry to expand its outreach. These collaborations strengthen the relationship with the organizations and ties with wholesalers and manufacturers.
​
There are 200 members of BBKWA and the operation is handled by a Board of Directors, a Chairperson, and a Secretariat. In the middle of the year, an annual meeting is held in a designated city on a rotational basis. In addition, BBKWA participates in domestic beauty supply trade shows and international conferences such as the World Korean Business Convention wherein 50 BBKWA members attend. At all the conferences, BBKWA is given a booth to promote their public relations.
​
BBKWA also participates in the annual Hansang Dream Global Scholarship Association scholarship ceremony where BBKWA members and the executives attend to donate $3,000.00 to the winner.
