Ultimate Beauty Companies (UBC) recently announced UBC Makes Dreams Come True, a new giveaway that will award one licensed beauty professional $25,000 in cash. "We are very excited to have an opportunity to give back to salon professionals in a big way," said Morad Zahabian, CEO and founder, Ultimate Beauty Companies. "This year, as a result of the current economic climate, we felt that most everyone would prefer a little more cash in their pockets. We're really looking forward to being able to help make someone's dreams come true." Entries will be accepted through January 5, 2010. No purchase is necessary for the first entry; however, each additional entry requires a $1,000 order from UBC.
