South Carolina Cosmetology Insurance
If you are currently practicing cosmetology in the state of South Carolina, you should be protecting your license and professional reputation with full liability insurance coverage. No cosmetologist wants to be known for injuring a client. But, with this industry and the closeness of the majority of services, accidents can and do happen.

You can be a cosmetologist right out of school or a cosmetologist who has practiced for years; either way, accidents can happen that can cost you a license you spent thousands of hours earning.

Why should I carry cosmetology insurance?
The beauty industry includes a variety of services where you are working with electrical tools, chemicals, sharp instruments, and other equipment that have the potential to injure a client. Carrying professional cosmetology insurance is a simple solution to prolong the success of your career—not leaving it to chance.
With annual fees as low as $159, carrying your own professional liability coverage is an affordable way to protect yourself and avoid financial-draining lawsuits when an accident occurs. The cost of insurance is much less than the long-term cost of potentially losing business and—worst case scenario—your license.
