1. Introduction

 
As Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, many of you have relied upon data collected by the SPCP through our four Industry Profile Studies: Vision 2003 through Vision 2012. The compiled information has been frequently used by industry professionals, related industries, and the media. While much of the available data from these studies remain current, it is essential we continue to track industry trends to provide the most accurate information available.

The objective of Vision 2015 is to utilize the previous and subsequently compiled information to enrich our industry's image with the public, create specialized educational programs to benefit the whole, and quote our strength in impressive numbers to legislative sources to influence laws in our favor.

This study is all about you, who you are, where you are, your professional profile, and services you offer. Each response is essential to achieve the needed information to keep our industry moving forward globally.

No other organization has tracked similar data over such a long period of time. Your participation is essential to delivering quality data, and is much appreciated. Membership in the SPCP is not required - please share this with all who are active in the permanent cosmetic industry.
