The purpose of the Palmetto State Barbers Association is to enhance the economic stability of South Carolinian’s by promoting barbering as an ethical, useful economically sound means to self-sufficiency.
We’re building self-esteem, developing values and life skills.
PSBA provides resources for the necessary skills to obtain a rewarding and positive future.
Palmetto State Barber’s Association was founded and initiated by Mr. F.L. Ellison in 1960.
Mr. Ellison gave the Association these encouraging words to move forward and beyond as an organization, “Barber, one who shaves and trims the beard and cuts the hair. The trade of barbering is one of great antiquity.”
Inclusively, this organization was founded on behalf of all licensed barbers in the state of South Carolina for the purpose of bringing together a united net of professional barbers with integrity loyalty, trustworthiness, to educate and train, to be our brothers’ keeper, to donate to special charity of choice annually, to render community service to provide college scholarship fund for graduating seniors in good standard with an economical financial need and above all, stand for righteousness.
