KEY TAKEAWAYS: The truth?

This blog is your go-to guide to choosing the partner that has your back – and your business – covered.

Microblading. It’s one of the most lucrative cosmetology services on the scene right now—and it’s also one of the most exciting services that professionals like you can offer.
This unique and specialized service can get you a whole new set of clients, open brand new doors for your career, and make you quite a bit of money, too (which is always a plus, right?). It’s also a genuinely fun, exciting service to learn, train for, and offer once you become a pro.
The only catch about microblading we think you should be hyper-aware of?
It’s not always a standard service covered by your run-of-the-mill insurance policies and companies. AKA, microblading esthetician insurance doesn't always go hand-in-hand with your normal policy.
In other words, you might need to really read the fine print of your insurance policy before you go ahead and take up this new service—unless, of course, you have EBS (then you’re covered, but we’ll get to that later).
Our advice? Read this article—then consult your current insurance policy to double-check that you’ve got the coverage you need to tack this highly sought-after service onto your repertoire.
Does All Beauty Insurance Include Microblading Esthetician Insurance?
We’re going to start this off kind of bold and just give you an outright answer—no.
While it’s true that some cosmetology liability insurance will cover some unique services you provide as a cosmetologist, it’s important to realize that most insurance companies won’t cover your microblading service unless it’s absolutely specified.
For example, at Elite Beauty Society, we offer an optional add-on for microblading, microshading, and ombre brows in our cosmetology insurance policy for an additional $499 per year (due to the increased risks associatd with the service).
We also cover 500+ other cosmetology services, too (you can learn more about that here).
But just because we offer microblading insurance that follows you no matter where you go (in a client’s home, at a salon suite, at a trade show, etc.), doesn’t mean that every other insurance policy will.
Our advice?
Do your research. A blanket policy is unlikely to protect you from specific and specialized services like microblading.
And that makes sense, right? Microblading is an entirely different service than nail design, hair styling, or esthetics. It deserves (and needs) its own type of coverage to offer you and your clients optimal protection.
At the risk of tooting our own horn, we’ll offer you a second piece of advice—check out our next-level microblading insurance options alongside our other cosmetology coverage (seriously, did we mention we cover over 500 types of unique services?).
The more covered you are (especially for your specialized services) the better off you’ll be. Just trust us on this one.
Why Do I Need Microblading Esthetician Insurance?
To sum it up, because being a cosmetologist—especially one who uses sharp tools, BTW—comes hand-in-hand with some inherent risk that, without the proper coverage, could fall directly on your own shoulders.
We don’t say this to scare you or make you think you’re bound to deal with something so unpleasant as someone suing you, rather, we’re telling you to prepare you and give you a quick dose of reality.
"Being a cosmetologist goes hand-in-hand with some inherent risk – without proper coverage, that could fall directly on your shoulders."
You need microblading insurance for a lot of unique reasons, but here are a few that we believe are super important to address:
- General Liability: Someone walks into your microblading studio, slips, falls, and sprains a wrist. Is it your fault? Probably not—but that doesn’t mean you can’t be responsible for the repercussion. We know, we know—this accident has literally nothing to do with microblading at all. But as a cosmetologist, you need to be covered for anything that happens within your studio space—and making sure you’re covered as a microblading expert means having this type of insurance on your side.
- Professional Liability: Even the most professional microbladers make mistakes—and whether that’s in the service provided or results in an injury, it’s crucial to be covered if something goes awry. In other cases, you may do nothing wrong at all—someone just accuses you of such. Having proper microblading coverage ensures that you’re covered against these instances, actual or alleged.
