Protecting Your Professional Career 

Whether you are renting a space at a salon/spa, work in you own beauty spa, or as a freelance beauty professional, purchasing an esthetician insurance policy supports and protects your career wherever you go. 

Liability Insurance provides peace of mind and assurance no matter where your career takes you as a skin care professional.

A little insurance knowledge about aesthetics can empower you to make the right decision when it comes to researching and purchasing a professional and general liability insurance policy.

Below is a complete breakdown of everything you need to know before purchasing an esthetician insurance policy in 2018.


What Is Professional Liability Insurance For Estheticians?

As an esthetician, you are responsible for the health and welfare of your clients. Your education and experience enables you to offer your clients excellent services. But you have a responsibility to protect your most precious asset—your career. Let’s face it: Accidents happen. But you can be prepared for the unexpected.

Professional Liability Insurance is a form of risk management in which the insured skincare professional can be protected and relieved of the financial responsibility of a potential loss.

What does that mean?

It is designed to protect skincare  professionals from claims arising outside of their direct professional skills.


Why Do Estheticians Need Insurance?

In any industry, accidents are inevitable and unpredictable.

The average claim in the spa industry is $5,500! Without insurance, this cost would come 100% out of your own pocket.

By carrying esthetician liability insurance, you can transfer the risk of monetary loss to your insurance provider. You no longer have to carry the emotional stress of figuring out how you’re going to pay a claim or defend yourself during the investigation period.

It only takes a single lawsuit or claim to bankrupt you.

You are a skin care professional with specialized training and certification. Though you may not be ultimately responsible for an injury or damages, your role makes you a target.

Even baseless claims require you to defend yourself. 

Legal defense can be costly.
