This is Beauty & Bodywork Insurance

Insurance: it’s a necessity in the fabric of our modern lives. With it, we protect our financial assets, the businesses we’ve worked to build, and we rest easy at night with peace of mind knowing we are safe from potential financial ruin.

Understanding this need for insurance, BBI decided to challenge the traditional methods of finding coverage. The clunky, outdated way of getting a policy through an agent took time and money away from the people who needed it the most. So in 2012, we automated the process in favor of beauty professionals.

Three Things We Believe About Insurance

1. Getting coverage should be quick.

Our online application eliminates the need to meet with agents, fill out paperwork, and wait days for a quote. Simply click, quote, and buy insurance instantly from any device at any time.

2. Policies should be easy to understand.

Insurance can be full of unclear terms and coverages. This unfair practice leads to invalid policies, costly claims, or working uninsured. We clear the confusion with a simple checkout process and free online resources.

3. Rates should be fair and affordable.

We competitively price our policies at a lower cost to you. Why? Because we believe you shouldn’t break the bank for quality coverage. It’s time you save on the protection you need.

Development Begins

2011: Beauty professionals needed a more affordable insurance option that worked for them and their busy careers. Recognizing this, we first began developing an all new online insurance policy to serve beauty and bodywork professionals.

Full-time Staff Hired

BBI is Giving Back With Koins for Kenya

BBI is always looking for ways to give back where it’s needed most, and we’d like to thank the non-profit Koins for Kenya for giving us an opportunity to do just that. Since 2003, we’ve partnered with Koins for Kenya to provide education, living amenities, and food and water for children in Kenya living in poverty. In 2012, our CEO Daryle Stafford traveled to Kenya to help build schools and see the work Koins for Kenya does firsthand.
