BBI is the Coverage you need

Accidents can happen anywhere, even at a nail salon. In fact, many salons require their self employed nail technicians to have liability coverage before they can rent a booth. This coverage protects the nail tech in the event an accident occurs.

For example, what if a sharp tool you used to give a client a gel nail pedicure accidently cut them? What if they have to go to the hospital, or they sue you? You could be forced to pay thousands of dollars out of your own pocket in damages.

Do not get caught off guard. Our online Beauty and Bodywork Insurance (BBI) policy offers liability insurance for professional nail technicians. This means you won’t have to stress financially if a client is injured.

Whether you need coverage as a manicurist or insurance as a glitter and nail decorator, BBI is there for you.

How Much Does Nail Tech Insurance Cost?

The Beauty and Bodywork Nail Tech Insurance policy costs only $96 for the full year of coverage. You can pay for the nail tech insurance policy in one yearly payment, and select EZ-Renew, so that your policy automatically renews each year.

One of the best ways to boost your credibility is to purchase nail tech liability insurance to shield you against third-party damage claims and lawsuits filed due to alleged negligence on your part.

Can I Add Additional Insureds?

When renting a booth at a salon, most nail technicians are required to add the salon or property owner to their insurance policy. This is referred to as an ‘additional insured.’ You can add additional insureds when filling out your nail tech insurance application, or any time afterwards.

Additional insureds receive protection from a potential claim that might arise because of your nail business-related actions. One additional insured costs $15, and an unlimited amount costs $30.
