Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a small salon offer health insurance?

Yes. Salons and spas with as few as two W2 employees can qualify for group or level funded coverage. Level funded is often the most affordable route for a healthy team.

What about booth renters and 1099 stylists?

Group plans cover your W2 employees. For booth renters and 1099 stylists, we help them find affordable individual or family plans so everyone has options.

How much does salon health insurance cost?

Single coverage commonly runs about 350 to 650 dollars per month and is usually split with the employee. Level funded options can lower that for a healthy team. We show exact numbers free.

Do I have to cover part-time staff?

Generally you offer coverage to full-time staff, defined as 30 or more hours per week on average. We help you track hours and decide who is eligible.

When can a salon or spa enroll?

Group coverage can be set up any time of year. There is no open enrollment window to wait for like there is with individual plans.
