Waxing Technician Liability Insurance Benefits, Highlights, and Coverage
As a waxing technician, you are a licensed beauty pro. You know hair removal techniques and offer services to make customers look and feel their best. But, they can find themselves facing a claim for accidents. These accidents may have happened at the salon or during a service. One of the most cost-effective safeguards available is to have waxing technician insurance. We offer comprehensive waxing technician insurance coverage to protect your career.
Waxing technician insurance is designed to protect waxing technicians from the expense of liability lawsuits and claims against them. As a professional beauty worker, a waxing technician works closely with clients to achieve their beauty goals.
While the beauty industry can be an exciting and rewarding career, it comes with a certain amount of risk to the client. If something goes wrong during treatment and a client is injured or has their property damaged, they could hold the cosmetologists liable. They would have to pay for the client's compensation. Waxing technician liability insurance can help cover the cost of a liability claim against a hair removal specialist.
The expense of a liability lawsuit or liability claim against you could be astronomical. Liability insurance is a safety net to help protect your finances. Elite Beauty Society has created a liability insurance plan specifically for waxing technicians. This coverage helps protect you if something goes wrong while working with a client.
Even though waxing pros pay close attention to their clients and treat them with the best care, people still make mistakes. Accidents happen to anyone and can be a big liability at work. If a client is hurt in your salon chair or during a service, they could legally force you to pay compensation.
These days, waxing technicians are more likely to face a liability lawsuit or insurance claim against them than ever before. Protecting yourself, your career, and your finances is an important investment in your future. Waxing technician liability insurance is the protection you need.
The waxing technician insurance plan from EBS provides sufficient coverage for multi-angle liabilities. We help protect you from general and professional liabilities and take it a step further. We provide the coverage you need to protect yourself, your equipment, your workspace, and your identity.
Let's look at some examples of how waxing technician insurance could help protect you in the future:
Example one: A client comes in for a waxing treatment. As you prepare the wax, you accidentally trip and splash hot wax onto the client's face. Unfortunately, some wax lands near the client's eye, causing intense burning and discomfort. After seeking medical attention, the client hires a lawyer and holds you responsible for their medical expenses. Waxing technician insurance from EBS could help cover the cost of that lawsuit.
Example two: The client is coming in for a facial waxing session. While walking back to your chair, the client tripped over a loose carpet on the floor. When the client hits the ground, you hear a sickening crunch as their arm breaks underneath them. You call an ambulance, and your client is taken to the hospital for medical treatment. The client demands that you pay their medical expenses, time away from work in recovery, and other related costs. In this situation, general liability insurance would be needed to help cover the cost of the lawsuit.

Waxing Technician Liability Insurance Coverage Details
Professional & General Liability:
$2 Million per occurrence
$3 Million per year
Personal Injury and Advertising Injury:
$2 Million
Identity Theft Protection:
$25,000
Professional liability is a blanket statement for the potential risks directly related to your occupation. These are industry-specific incidents that could cause harm to a client. Professional liability can also be known as errors and omissions. In other words, professional liability is something a professional does wrong while working. For waxing specialists, one risk is burning a client's skin with hot wax. Another risk is causing skin irritation from a product used during the service. Professional liability insurance helps protect a worker if they do something wrong that causes harm to a client. Professional liability insurance's protection is an essential component of overall liability insurance. If you're covered with professional liability insurance, you don't have to worry about the cost of a liability lawsuit against you. If you make a mistake and your client gets hurt, professional liability insurance can help keep your finances intact. If professional liabilities are directly related to your occupation, general liability is the opposite. General liabilities are non-specific to a career or vocation. These risks are universal in any industry. Another way to consider general liability insurance is slip and fall coverage. The incidents covered under general liability can happen in any industry and facility. The most common are trips, slips, and tumbles. General liability also covers personal property damage. For example, if your client drops their phone while slipping on your floor, general liability could also pay to replace their phone. General liability coverage offers protection from lawsuits involving universal risks or incidents. If a client falls and injures themselves in your salon, general liability would protect you from paying the client's compensation. General liabilities are common and can happen anywhere. So, protection from them is essential to waxing technician insurance.
In today's world, more than word-of-mouth marketing is needed to be a successful waxing tech. Most beauty professionals today have a massive online presence. Almost every hair removal specialist uses social media to promote their business. They also use online banking to manage their finances and their website to reach clients. The internet era has given an excellent chance to reach new clients and engage customers. But, it has also created the potential for loss due to identity theft. If you have any presence online, you are potentially at risk for hackers to steal your information. Elite Beauty Society includes Identity Theft Protection in our waxing technician insurance policy. We want our policyholders to be well protected from every career threat. While most other wax tech insurance providers do not offer identity theft coverage, we make it a pillar of our policy. If you lose money due to an online predator, we offer protection to help you recoup your losses.

Below is a complete breakdown of everything you need to know about a waxing technician insurance policy.
Waxing Technician Liability Insurance FAQs
Working with clients face-to-face, using hot wax and other products, there is too much risk for an accident to happen not to have professional liability insurance. At the bare minimum, a policy should have generous limits provided for both General Liability claims, as well as, Professional Liability claims.
General liability is commonly referred to as “slip and fall” insurance. This is because there’s a liability to you as a business owner simply for allowing customers to enter your premises. If a customer trips over a loose tile in your salon and injures themselves, they can hold you liable for the damages.
Personal liability is often called “malpractice” insurance. This coverage provides provisions for injuries and other loss events that occur in the event of you providing your service. If your hand slips while waxing and you accidentally cause a burn or skin irritation to your client, they may hold you liable for their injuries.Absolutely. Waxing and hair removal may seem tame. But, no matter where, when, or how many hours you work, you’ll use tools that can, and have, harmed clients.
While renting a chair at a salon, you’ll be an independent contractor. You're not typically covered under the salon owner’s liability policy.
That’s why it’s important to have your own coverage for any possible claim that can arise in the course of providing your services to clients.
With a waxing technician liability insurance policy from EBS, you’ll have:
$2 Million limit for both Professional Liability and General Liability claims, up to a $3 Million Annual Aggregate.
$2 Million in Personal Injury and Advertising Injury
$25,000 in Identity Theft Protection
Many carriers out there offer claims-made coverage because it’s simply more convenient for them to do so. This means a claim has to be made while a policy is active in order for it to be covered. We don’t believe in not covering something that rightfully should be so we offer occurrence form coverage. This means that even if your policy is long-expired, if a claim is made against you for an event that occurred while your policy was still in effect, you’re absolutely covered. It’s just one small way we make sure we’ve got your back.

The State Board of Cosmetology in the state that you want to offer services in is the governing body that will provide licensure, usually upon completion of education and examination.
For example, the State Board of Cosmetology in Florida requires a full 1,200 hours in an approved cosmetology school and the successful passing of the state-issued examination in order to obtain a license.
The best resource for license information is the State Board which governs the state requirements where you want to offer services in. The process can be lengthy, so it’s best to get started as early as possible when you decide you want to move your license from one state to another. Some states do offer reciprocity for licensure but this varies widely.
For example, according to the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, out-of-state licensees can simply fill out a reciprocity application and pay a fee in order to receive a new license, as long as they have proof of a current license which has been active for three of the last five years and hasn’t been revoked or suspended. Often different states vary the amount of required education so you may need more training hours in order to satisfy your new state’s requirements.
