After you've made changes to your user's Parse table, call

[[PFUser currentUser] fetch]; //synchronous

or

[[PFUser currentUser] fetchInBackground]; //asynchronous

or

[[PFUser currentUser] fetchInBackgroundWithBlock:^(PFObject *object, NSError *error) { //asynchronous with completion block

before

[[PFUser currentUser] objectForKey:@"is_pro"]

to get an updated copy of your [PFUser currentUser] object.

Note: refresh and refreshInBackgroundWithBlock: are now deprecated and have been replaced with fetch and fetchInBackgroundWithBlock:

Update:

As Ryan Kreager pointed out in the comments, it's probably better/more efficient to use fetchIfNeeded, fetchIfNeededInBackground, or fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock: "since they will use the local cache when available."
