Eyelash extension insurance costs are as little as £52.50 for qualified lash technicians who are working on a self-employed or mobile basis.
This is a relatively low price to pay in comparison to any claims that may be made against you which can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Policies from various Insurance companies offered online may provide a different insurance service and different costs, which is why it is important to carefully read through the fine print to ensure you are aware of exactly what you are paying for.
Unfortunately, accidents are sometimes unavoidable, which is why you should have insurance in place to protect you. In these situations, any small business owner can suffer from massive losses if you are unprotected by either not having an insurance policy in place at all or by having one that isn’t adequate for the risks you face. Professional Beauty Direct provide an appropriate eyelash extension insurance policy which should meet your needs. This can provide you with cover for over £6,000,000 Public, Products and Treatment Liability and, for an additional premium, can even cover any loss or damage to your kit and equipment. It’s important you consider all the risks associated with your business though and make sure the policy covers you correctly.
