What is Microblading Insurance?

Microblading professionals know sessions can become intricate and up-close-and-personal with clients wanting the perfect look post-session. Policy limits for professional coverage have to be robust enough to cover these professionals in the event of a claim against them but should never be more than what's needed. Our professional policies include smart limits like:

  • Professional/General Liability: $2 Million per occurrence / $3 Million annual aggregate
  • Identity Protection Coverage: $25,000
  • Personal Injury and Advertising Injury: $2 Million
Limits are designed in order to be able to cover our members when an unfortunate event gives rise to a claim. Whether that's in the form of us covering a member's legal defense fees from a disgruntled client's alleged claims or by providing identity recovery services in the event of fraud, we provide all-encompassing coverage designed after years of actually living, working, and breathing the industry of beauty and health.


Do Microblading Specialists Need Insurance?

Even the most seasoned beauty professionals with years of experience and hundreds of client sessions face some risk when performing microblading. Because the procedure carries a higher chance of infection or injury, not every policy automatically includes coverage. Specialized insurance helps you confidently support your clients' best look while giving yourself the peace of mind that comes with proper protection. 

General Liability covers you in case you are held responsible for having to pay for someone else's damages that were inflicted after they entered the space in which you operate. 

Professional liability insurance, aka slip & fall, is when someone alleges that services you provided caused them to suffer some form of harm, and they request you cover their losses. Some may sue you for damages, others may simply demand you cover their medical payments for what they are alleging is malpractice on your part. 

Microblading coverage is an add-on, known as an Endorsement coverage option. A full year of coverage for this service can be added for only $499 in addition to the $179 standard pro policy.

Occurrence Form Coverage Vs. Claims-Made Coverage

If you have been browsing around for microblading insurance, you probably have heard mention of a policy being "claims-made". What this means to you is that after your policy expires, any claims that come up are not covered. The only exception to this would be if you have purchased a special extension known in the insurance industry as a "tail". Claims-made policies can be tricky in health and wellness when a client might take weeks or even months to file a claim for injuries. If they file a claim against you after your policy has expired with a claims-made policy, you'll more than likely be faced with having to come up with the expenses yourself. 

The other side of claims-made is occurrence form coverage. We choose to provide this type of insurance policy because it provides coverage for events that occurred while a policy was still in effect, during a time that the claim would have rightful coverage. Just because the policy expires, we don't believe that a claim that would have been rightfully covered should suddenly be denied. When a claim is filed after a policy has expired, it will still be afforded coverage as long as the event occurred during the time the policy was still active.

Why do beauty professionals need microblading insurance?

Any activity that is hands-on with clients creates more opportunities for claims asserting some form of damage occurred as a result. Microblading only increases this risk by employing an extremely sharp tool that’s used around sensitive areas of the face. General liability insurance covers events like a client tripping and hurting themselves entering your premises. This sounds mundane, but “slip and fall” cases account for thousands of claims against businesses each year. Professional liability insurance provides coverage for claims against your service itself i.e. malpractice. Perhaps you pushed the microblading tool a tad too hard and accidentally hurt your client. Whatever the reason, and even if the claim is entirely without merit, claims like these can spell financial ruin for a beauty professional that doesn’t hold the protection of a comprehensive microblading insurance policy.

I only rent a booth at a salon, do I need microblading insurance?

Absolutely. As a contractor, you are seen as a separate entity from the salon and therefore have your own liabilities. The salon owner’s insurance may provide limited coverage in some cases but the only surety of protection is to hold your own microblading insurance policy. 

I work for a salon chain, why do I need microblading insurance?

Even when you are an employee for a salon, you can still be held liable when a loss event occurs. Many cases exist where former clients go after both the salon and the individual professional to seek restitution. NACAMS is dedicated to the betterment of health and wellness in all people so offer our policies to the benefit of the teachers, educators, and providers that are the professionals in the beauty industry. Our policies afford these professionals with a cost-effective means to protect themselves and their careers from an unforeseen event that without insurance coverage could cripple a business and deteriorate personal finances.

What benefits does NACAMS provide with microblading insurance?

Can I practice microblading without a license?

Most states require microblading professionals to meet certain licensing and training requirements in order to perform this specialization on clients. The best bet is to always check your state board’s website for details concerning your particular locale. Requirements often change so be sure to stay up-to-date with your state.

Does NACAMS offer a microblading student liability policy?

Students can purchase a liability policy with the same robust coverage as our professional policies. For just $60, students receive a full year of coverage. For those students interested in microblading, this specialization can be added to their policy once they have completed their training and apply for an Insurance Plus professional policy. Easily overlooked, insurance for students is vital. During clinics, outreach events, and other training, students will be practicing techniques on and around others. An event that couldn’t possibly be planned for can occur that, without comprehensive insurance, can spell ruin for a student’s career before it even gets started.

What kind of insurance does a microblading professional need?

Microblading professionals use extreme skill and steady hands to apply long-lasting treatments. A solid insurance program will include generous coverage limits for general and professional claims. Value is added to the policy through member benefits programs which should be curated for the greatest possible benefit to members. At NACAMS and Elite Beauty Society we include all of these provisions, at incredible rates, with exceptional customer service from real-life insurance agents.

Do I need a license to purchase insurance for microblading?

Yes, NACAMS requires that you have all the requisite certifications and licensure required by your locale in order to purchase an effective insurance policy. Always check your state board’s website for the most up-to-date information concerning the requirements of your chosen modality.

How long does it take to get a policy?

The entire NACAMS application process generally takes only minutes to complete and then provides instant coverage and proof of insurance.

What are some claims microblading professionals have faced?

Claims come in many forms, making any business endeavor have a certain degree of risk. Microblading increases this risk because it is hands-on and involves using a sharp instrument on the face. Loss-events only limited by your imagination and can include those like:

  • A client rolls off your treatment chair and holds you liable for their injuries.
  • A client has a terrible allergic reaction to a product you use during treatment and demands you pay their doctor bills.
  • You are locking up for the night when a robbery-by-force takes all of your tools.
  • A client overflows the toilet in the space you are renting and the wood floors are ruined. The property owner holds you liable.
These are just a few of the seemingly endless number of events that can befall a microblading professional in the course of their career. Even for those claims that are completely baseless, quality insurance coverage provides ample protection for legal defense fees and other costs that may arise during the claims process.
