The South Australian Hair and Beauty Association (SAHBA) proudly celebrates its 90th anniversary, marking nearly a century of dedication to supporting and elevating the hair and beauty industry in South Australia.
A Legacy of Industry Leadership
Originally established in 1934, the Hairdressers Association of South Australia was founded to create a unified voice for hairdressing professionals, advocating for industry standards, education, and business development. Over the decades, the association evolved to meet the changing needs of the industry, expanding its scope to include beauty professionals and rebranding as the South Australian Hair and Beauty Association (SAHBA).
Through its commitment to professional development, SAHBA has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of thousands of hairdressers, barbers, and beauty therapists across the state. From lobbying for legislative reforms to providing training and mentorship, the association has continually adapted to ensure the industry thrives in an ever-changing landscape.
