Between booth rental, commission structures, and salon employment, stylists end up in very different coverage situations, and a lot of stylists are surprised to learn they don't have any employer coverage backing them up at all.

Why coverage often looks different for hair stylists

  • Many stylists rent their chair and are self-employed, with no employer plan whatsoever.
  • Salon employees may have access to coverage, but eligibility often depends on hours worked.
  • Standing for long hours and repetitive movement can make routine and preventive care worth prioritizing.
  • Income can vary with clientele and season, which affects what coverage is realistically affordable.

What we typically help with

  • Individual health plans for those renting a chair or working independently
  • Dental and vision coverage as an affordable add-on
  • Accident coverage for the physical demands of the work
  • Marketplace savings are generally based on your estimated annual household income

Whether you rent a chair or work on commission at a salon, we'll help you find coverage that matches how you actually get paid.
