Understanding Esthetician Insurance In New York
Like most other states, in New York, you are not required to hold a New York esthetician liability insurance policy in order to work as a specialist. Of course, you require business insurance if you own a private spa or clinic, but individual liability insurance for estheticians is not required. On the flip side, larger facilities, and those that train younger students, are required to hold special certification, as well as minimum liability insurance policies, in order to shield them from lawsuits.
Due to the fact that you want to protect your career and yourself in the event of an injury, even though the state does not require it, you should get liability insurance. If you plan on working as an esthetician, it is smart practice to hold a New York esthetician insurance policy, not only to protect yourself from the personal liability aspect but from other aspects, too. The best programs will give you general, professional, and identity coverage. When you choose the right insurance policy to cover you, you’ll have made a savvy investment to protect your professional aesthetics career.
How Much do Estheticians in New York Make?
According to ZipRecruiter.com, on average, licensed estheticians in New York make $28.05/hour. However, in cities like New York City, Great Neck Gardens, and Westchester, specialists can earn up to $32/hour. This can vary depending on factors like if you work only part-time, which studio you work for, if you offer classes independently and so on.
Stay Protected With An Occurrence-Form Policy
Occurrence Form (also known as Occurrence Based) is the industry-preferred policy type because you are covered for any incident that happened while your policy was in effect, even if your policy has expired.
Other providers sell Claims-made policies, where any claim filed after the policy expires will not be covered. No matter if you choose NACAM or not, definitely make sure your provider has "occurrence form" coverage.

Love this Company! Very easy to move around and shop for the best policy, not to mention the best price!
Suzanne
While my customers do sign a liability waiver on behalf of the business where I am an employee, I'd prefer to have this backbone behind me protecting my person and any damage an unruly person could assert. Thank you NACAMS for protecting me professionally!
