Hi Guys, We thought we'd pop on and add to this thread :biggrin: You will always need to check with your individual insurer as to their own policy, however we wanted to confirm that our policy is for you to follow the manufacturers' instructions when it comes to patch testing. For your...

Hi Guys, We just wanted to join in the conversation and confirm our take on this topic which has raised much debate in the industry. As I am sure you can appreciate, journalists are free to investigate, question and report on a topic as they like, and will gain input and information from...

Dear Ugg73, Apologies for the delay replying to this; we didn't spot it on Salon Geek sooner. There are however a couple of things we wanted to highlight / clarify with you: First, we do not require you to patch test for every spray tan; apologies that this has been incorrectly...

Hi @Pinkthistle, I've sent you a PM with some details. Kindest regards Kelly

We are investigating the ability to add employers liability onto the policy. Let me find out where we are at with that in the morning and I'll come back to you.

All part of the service :) If you have a level 3 qualification, that is completely acceptable for insurance purposes. All we would ask it that you send in the module breakdown with your certificate so that we can add the correct modules on to your policy. As we've said previously the...

Hi @Pinkthistle I've had clarification on this and to quote our brokers 'It's illegal to claim for the same thing on two policies i.e. Being paid twice, but not if the other policy doesn’t cover what the second policy does. However we can’t insure extensions by themselves as they are an...

Hi @pinkthistle, If you decide to stay with your previous insurer but use us for your specialist cover, you would need to pay for basic membership too, so £89 + the relevant extension. My understanding is that you are able to hold two policies but would be unable to claim on them both...

Hi @Lala12, We insure based on the treatment, not the manufacturer/product house. For example gel nails, spray tanning, facials etc are all insurable based on the fact that you are competent to deliver that treatment, regardless of whether you trained with one product house and are now using...

Hello ladies, Thought we’d pop on and respond to this post with some clarifications. We know insurance is tricky, so hopefully this will help. As always, if you have any concerns it is better to get in touch with us (or your respective insurer) directly as we can provide personal and...

Over the weekend, we’ve had a few queries regarding our comment relating to Kim Lawless in this thread. Just to clarify, our comment was made in the context of the thread as a direct response to the original question posed by HazelEyes, where she questioned whether she needed to complete Kim...

Hi All, We have only just spotted this thread, but wanted to clarify the situation as there is a lot of conflicting information. As a number of people have said, it is always worth checking with your insurance company individually, as the information provided to one person does not...
