Discussion prior to beauty treatments in an aesthetic consultation setting. Activity requiring professional protection and appropriate insurance in Québec.

Coverage tailored to your aesthetics and beauty care business

Every day in this field calls for precision, skill, and client trust. Behind the treatments is a business, often small, built with care and commitment.

Specialized services, professional equipment, and liability are part of your daily reality. Well-structured insurance becomes concrete support: it protects what you have built and lets you move forward with confidence.

The program, developed in collaboration with the Association des professionnels en électrolyse et soins esthétiques du Québec (APESEQ), offers coverage designed for aestheticians, beauty technicians, and professionals across the sector. It reflects the realities of the Quebec market and evolving industry practices.

A La Turquoise broker works with each professional by considering their services, equipment, and the actual size of their business. Coverage can be adjusted as new treatments are added, while respecting industry requirements and practical realities.

Do you work in an APESEQ member establishment? Exclusive discounts on your personal auto and home insurance are available to you as well.

Coverage included in the APESEQ program

See what the program covers
  • Commercial general liability: A client slips in the salon, or a visitor is hurt near the entrance. This coverage protects the business against bodily injury or property damage caused to a third-party during business activities.
  • Professional liability: A client reports a skin reaction or poor results. This coverage protects the business against liability linked to the treatments and services provided. No deductible applies to commercial general liability.
  • Tenant’s legal liability: Occupancy as a tenant exposes the business to liability for damage to the building. This coverage protects the tenant against such liability.
  • Commercial property, equipment, and inventory: Treatment devices, furniture, and stock are covered against damage. If equipment fails or water damages the clinic repairs or replacement are covered.
  • Loss of income: If a loss forces the temporary closure of a salon or clinic this coverage protects against lost income during the period of interruption.
  • Money and securities coverage: Whether the loss stems from a dishonest employee or external theft the business is protected.
  • Cybersecurity (optional): A cyberattack or ransomware can paralyze booking, payment, or management systems. This coverage pays recovery costs and civil liability in the event of a customer data breach.
  • Insurance and legal assistance: Access to legal advice to answer legal questions or assist in a dispute related to the business.
  • Actual cash value: Property is paid for at its value at the time of the incident with no deduction for depreciation.

Questions about insurance for aesthetics and beauty treatments

Work in aesthetics often raises questions about insurance, such as legal duties, kinds of coverage, gear protection, and professional liability.

This section gathers answers to common questions to help readers understand coverage choices and decide which ones fit their needs.It aims to guide decisions by considering field norms and the Quebec context.

Professional liability insurance is not always legally required. However, it is strongly recommended for any aesthetician or beauty care professional offering services to clients.

This insurance covers the financial results of an error, incident, or alleged harm occurring during treatment. It is often required by professional associations, property owners, or business partners.

Commercial general liability covers property damage or bodily injury caused to third parties. This may include an accident occurring in the salon or damage caused to a client’s property.

Professional liability covers results linked to professional acts. It applies when a treatment, procedure, or service is questioned by a client.
Both types of coverage are complementary and essential in the field of aesthetics and beauty care.

Yes. Even when a professional works from home or mobile aestheticians, risks remain.

Professional insurance covers the services provided. Appropriate coverage may be required for transported equipment and civil liability related to travel.

The cost varies depending on several factors. The type of services offered, the value of the equipment, revenue, and the business structure all influence the premium.

However, the program in collaboration with APESEQ provides members with access to competitive rates. Coverage is tailored to the specific needs of each business.

Some coverages are not always a priority at the start but become more important as the business grows.

Equipment insurance, loss of income, or legal assistance often become essential. This happens when services diversify, the client base grows, or the value of insured assets rises.

Depending on the situation coverage against cyber risks may also be relevant. This is the case when there are digital client records or online payment systems. The broker’s role is to assess these needs at the right time based on the actual evolution of the practice. The broker should not rely on a one-size-fits-all model.
