Buy-Rite's Annual Beauty School Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Buy-Rite Beauty

Buy-Rite Beauty has always made a point to promote the hairstylist, cosmetology & beauty industry as a growing career field. From working directly with local salons to donating products to beauty schools, supporting the industry has always been a staple of our business.
