OUR STORY

Jamaica has created a name as a fashion centre in the Caribbean and today, our beauty industry is a major contributor to the national economy, generating millions of dollars in goods and services. The sector includes a wide range of professionals, hairdressers, cosmetologists, barbers, beauty therapists and manufacturers of health, skin and hair products.

​

With the industry’s increasing importance, there is a critical need to create formal mechanisms to regulate the sector and facilitate its development along professional lines.

​

The National Association of Hairdressers and Cosmetologists (NAHC) has been established as an umbrella organization representing the varied interests of the sector, to bring the work of the NAHC to public attention, establish links between the Association and the various segments of the media and maintain a high level of awareness among NAHC members regarding industry matters.
