We were honored to celebrate our fearless leader Reuben Carranza at the Beauty Changes Lives Organization Gala this past weekend as he was awarded the Legacy Award for 2025, in recognition of his long standing impact on the beauty industry and distinctly heart-first leadership style.

Beauty Changes Lives is an organization cultivating the future of our industry, supporting and carving a way forward for beauty as a plan A – not a backup plan. An organization Reuben helped to nurture from the first seedling of an idea, born of a $1.5 million scholarship endowment in tribute to the iconic Vidal Sassoon and the establishment of an esthetics scholarship for foster youth in the name of Kate Somerville Skincare and now, a place where amika and their CEO Chelsea Riggs continues to drive this mission forward.

Thank you to Lynelle Lynch and the BCL Board of Directors for sharing this moment, alongside fellow honorees Michael Q. Pugliese, LE of Circadia and Tam T. Nguyen and Family of Advance Beauty College. An unforgettable evening of impact and inspiration for an industry we love, from the chair to the c-suite.
