One of the most common questions we get asked at Oh So Hasty is: "Will I be able to get insurance after completing an online nail course?"
It's a great question — and an important one. After all, insurance is essential if you want to work as a nail technician, whether you're setting up a home salon, renting a chair, or working mobile. So let's clear things up once and for all.
Do You Need Insurance to Work as a Nail Tech in the UK?
Yes. If you plan to offer nail services to paying clients in the UK, you'll need Nail Technician insurance . This typically covers public liability, which protects you if a client makes a claim for injury or damage caused by your treatments.
Without insurance, you're putting yourself and your clients at risk — and most professional salons and chair-rental spaces won't let you work without it.
Can You Get Insured After an Online Nail Course?
Yes — but only if the course is accredited.
This is the crucial part. Insurance providers in the UK require proof that you've completed a recognised, accredited course before they'll cover you for nail treatments. An unaccredited course — no matter how good the content — won't cut it with most insurers.
At Oh So Hasty, all of our online nail courses are fully accredited and recognised by leading UK insurers. That means when you complete your course and receive your certificate, you'll be able to apply for professional insurance straight away.
Which Insurers Accept Online Nail Course Certificates?
Provided your course is accredited, the following insurers are commonly used by UK nail technicians:
- Insync insurance
Always double-check with your chosen insurer that they accept your specific certificate before enrolling on any course — and feel free to ask us directly if you're unsure whether our accreditation covers the treatments you plan to offer.
What Accreditation Do Oh So Hasty Courses Hold?
