Common Questions about Esthetician Insurance
What is Esthetician Insurance?
Esthetician insurance is coverage designed to protect you from paying for expensive claims and lawsuits related to your work. Just like healthy skin is the foundation of beauty, insurance lets you start each session from a place of safety and confidence, no matter what the day brings.
From a peel gone wrong to slips and falls at the salon, injury and property damage lawsuits can get ugly. Delicate esthetics treatments have a small margin for error, so you need insurance sensitive to your unique risks. We’re by your side with essential coverages to keep your business healthy and protected.
What Types of Coverage Are Included in Esthetician Liability Insurance?
Your BBI policy gets you affordable general and professional liability insurance for estheticians without strings attached (like membership fees and extra requirements.) A base policy includes these core coverages:
- General Liability Insurance: coverage for third-party (clients and others) injury and property damage claims
- Professional Liability Insurance: protection against lawsuits that claim you gave bad advice, made a mistake, or that a client is unhappy with your services
- Personal and Advertising Injury: coverage for advertising mistakes and non-physical injuries (like copyright infringement and slander)
- Fire Legal Liability Coverage: protection against paying for accidental fire damage to a salon booth or other space you rent
- Products and Completed Operations: coverage for your services once they’re finished or for products you use during treatments

More FAQs About Esthetician Insurance Coverage
Do I Need Esthetician Liability Insurance?
To put it simply, yes. Because you are working on people’s skin, you will want to be protected if they have an allergic reaction or sustain other injuries from your treatments and day-to-day business operations. The costs of medical care, legal defense, and more can add up quickly, draining both your business and personal assets.
You also may be required to have professional liability insurance for estheticians if you rent space at a spa or salon, and they may even require you to list them as an additional insured on your policy.
When Will My Esthetician Insurance Policy Be Active?
You can get same-day coverage and instant proof of insurance from your online dashboard after buying a policy. Cart to covered only takes a few minutes if you qualify, but you can also set coverage to start up to 30 days after you buy.
Why Would an Esthetician Need Product Liability Coverage?
Your esthetician liability insurance covers products you use during treatments, but if you sell or distribute products for later, it’s time for product liability insurance. Say clients love your self-tanning lotion and you’re thinking about selling it – product liability makes sure you’re covered against risks like allergic reactions and defective packaging.
Contact us to get your sales side hustle protected with product liability coverage.
