Permanent makeup insurance provides coverage for the unique risks and liabilities associated with the beauty industry. Our policies include professional & general liability with additional optional coverages to customize coverage based on your client’s needs.

Yes, they can be. If they are employees of the insured, they should have them covered under their policy. If they are independent contractors who are working under your client’s business name we can also include them. If they are working under a different business name they will need to obtain their own coverage and name your client as an additional insured.

The cost of permanent makeup insurance can vary based on several factors. Insurance providers consider these factors when determining the premium for a policy.

Here are some key factors that influence the cost of permanent makeup insurance:

1. Size and scope of business: The size of your client’s business, whether they have a salon/spa or are an individual can impact the insurance cost. Larger risks with more technicians who offer more services may have higher premiums due to an increased risk and liability associated with more clients coming into the salon/spa.
2. Type of services being performed: Some services are more invasive than others which create more long term problems if a claim were to arise. Therefore the type of services being performed may impact the insurance cost.
3. Claims history: Insurance companies consider the claims history of your client’s permanent makeup business when determining the cost of coverage. If they have a history of claims, it may result in higher premiums.
4. Safety measures and risk management practices: Insurance providers assess the safety measures and risk management practices implemented by your client’s business. Having robust safety protocols, ensuring their employees and themselves are properly trained for all services being performed and regular maintenance practices can help lower insurance costs by reducing the likelihood of accidents and claims.
