Yes, we can cover a wide range of beauty therapy treatments. Simply let us know what treatments you provide and we can let you know if they can be covered under this policy or not. To give you an example, we cover body massage, spray tanning, nail technicians, waxing and facial care – so there’s a wide scope available.

These aspects are excluded from our makeup artist insurance:
