You asked, We answer

Why is nail artists & nail technicians insurance important?

Whether a salon owner or working in one, the job of a nail artist & nail technician can involve some danger and liability. This leaves scope for errors and sometimes mistakes happen or things do not go according to plan. If your client holds you responsible, it could put at risk everything you have worked for.
‍
You may still be required to get insurance even if you are working as a mobile nail artists or nail technician, or a part-time. If you're unprotected, you could suffer a devastating financial blow.

What can a nail artists or nail technician be sued for?

While we hope it doesn't happen, nail artists & nail technicians can potentially be sued for:
‍
• Covering medical costs (current and future) for a client that is injured
• Loss of a client's earning capacity when the client is off work
• Additional compensation if the damage to the client is permanent/long-lasting
• Mental trauma, pain and suffering of the client from the injury

What limits are available with upcover?

You can get covered today with tailored nail artists & nail technician insurance that provides public & products liability insurance limits available up to $20m, and professional indemnity limits available up to $10m.
