What’s Included in Your NABP Membership
Becoming a member of the National Association of Beauty Professionals (NABP) means more than just an annual assessment — it’s your gateway to recognition, credibility, and community.
Annual Health, Safety & Hygiene Assessment
Each year, our team will complete a thorough review of your workspace, processes, and standards to ensure everything is fully compliant with current regulations and aligned with the highest industry expectations. This isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about helping you maintain excellence and peace of mind.
Verified Artist Listing & Personal Bio Page
Once you pass your assessment, you’ll be featured in our Artist Finder — a trusted tool for clients seeking safe and skilled professionals. You’ll also receive your own dedicated bio page to showcase your work, background, and credentials.
Official NABP Badge
Successful artists receive the exclusive NABP Badge, a mark of trust and quality that you can display in your clinic, on your website, and across your social platforms. It reassures clients that you meet the gold standard in permanent makeup safety and professionalism.
Member-Only Portal Access
Stay ahead of the curve with exclusive access to our member portal. You’ll find regular updates on legislation, step-by-step support videos, and resources designed to keep you informed, confident, and compliant.
Join a Community of Excellence
Connect with like-minded professionals through our support chat group, where members can ask questions, share experiences, and offer advice. You’ll be part of a growing network of top-tier artists who believe in raising the bar for the industry.
Pay a one-time assessment fee.
We also have the option to pay for your yearly assessment upfront for anyone wanting to avoid monthly payments. If you choose this option you do get all of the above including with the exception of the members portal.Â
