i am a qualified beauty therpaist....but now do dental nursing.... how many clients can i do before needing insurance? as i will only be doing one or two now and then not as my main career? thanks:wink2:
 
Hiya, If people are paying you for a treatment you'll need insurance even if you're only doing 1 treatment just incase anything goes wrong. I'm not sure how it works if you're just doing friends and family.
 
You need insurance before you treat your first client.

The Guild can give you a quote when you call on 0845 2177 383, and if you quote Geek as a referral code you will get a £10 discount.
 
I am with salon gold and they were very reasonable,small price to pay for piece of mind :)
 
Hi Hun - if you are working on the paying public you will need insurance (or should i say you would be wise to get it!) as anything could happen. I personally would not risk doing a treatment on someone without insurance - it's like anything really - would you drive your car without insurance?

As Redduck says, i'm not sure how it would work just on family & friends - but that's up to you hun.

Most insurance policy's cover public, product & treatment liability - which pretty much covers all you need if working on your own. You can also opt to cover your equipment too. There are some good prices out there - I got mine from Salon Gold.

Incidentally, when I started in this sector, my main career was completely different to beauty, but I still got the insurance even though I was only working on a few people per week - albeit mainly friends & family.

Hope this helps xx
