Beauty & Bodywork Insurance Launches New Coverage Option for Misconduct Protection

New insurance coverage helps beauty and bodywork professionals safeguard against false claims.

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, August 2025 — Beauty & Bodywork Insurance (BBI) is pleased to announce that Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) Insurance is now available online. This optional coverage can be added to the individual Beauty Professional Policy and the Salon & Spa Owner Policy.

Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance, also known as SAM or SML insurance, can help defend against allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, or inappropriate behavior. This coverage is essential for a wide range of beauty and bodywork professionals, including:

Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance is available online immediately, allowing individuals and businesses to add it to new or existing policies for as little as $4.92/month. Due to the higher risks associated with the massage industry, massage therapists can obtain coverage starting at $9.92/month. Additionally, salon and spa owners can add this coverage for their technicians, staff, or providers when purchasing liability insurance for their locations, starting at $12.42/month.

Whether purchased individually or part of a business policy, Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance is designed to cover costs associated with abuse or misconduct-related claims, including attorney fees, defense costs, judgment fees, legal awards, and settlements.

President and CEO Daryle Stafford stated, “We understand how deeply distressing and serious allegations of misconduct can be, even if they are false.

By offering Sexual Abuse and Molestation Insurance, we provide our customers peace of mind, ensuring they don’t face these challenges alone.”
