Being a nail technician is a rewarding job—making people happy by helping their nails be healthy and beautiful is what you do. While this is a fun career, there are also a few risks associated with it.
At Beauty and Bodywork Insurance, we know you do your best as a trained professional to avoid accidents, however, they can still happen. Having nail tech insurance provides a financial safety net in case one of your clients ever gets injured. Whether you’re renting a booth at a salon or working out of your home, you’ll need to have an insurance policy in place. We’re here to explain everything you need to know about insurance for nail technicians.
Common Nail Tech Accidents
There are several different accidents that can happen while on the job. If you don’t thoroughly clean one of your tools and your next client contracts an infection, you can be held liable for that. If you are buffing a client’s nail and accidentally snag the skin, you can be held responsible for any medical bills. If a client slips on your equipment and falls, you can also be held liable.
These three examples are just a few examples of what could go wrong in a nail salon, which is why you’ll want a nail tech insurance policy to help protect you.
What is General Liability Insurance?
General liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage arising out of premises, operations, products, or completed operations. It may also provide coverage for personal and advertising injury claims.
What is Professional Liability Insurance?
Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance, is designed to protect you from claims that a professional service you provided resulted in physical or financial harm to a client.
