One of the most significant concerns for self-employed beauty professionals is the potential financial hardship that could arise from being unable to work due to illness or injury. Addressing this crucial issue, Tanya Whitaker, an independent insurance agent offering coverage through Combined Insurance Company of America, is stepping up to assist these professionals by providing essential insurance coverage.
Whitaker will be visiting five Salon and Spa Galleria locations over the next few weeks to help beauty professionals enroll in insurance plans tailored to their needs. The initial schedule for these enrollment sessions includes: Sublett on Wednesday, July 17 from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM; Airport Freeway on Thursday, July 18 from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM; Oakmont on Wednesday, July 24 from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM; Bedford on Thursday, July 25 from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM; and Alliance on Wednesday, July 31 from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Additional locations are expected to be announced beginning in August 2024.
The initiative is crucial for self-employed beauty professionals who often lack the security net provided by traditional employment benefits. By enrolling in these insurance plans, they can ensure that they are financially protected in case they are unable to work due to unforeseen health issues. This type of coverage can be a game-changer, offering peace of mind and stability in an otherwise unpredictable profession.
"We want our tenants to be successful and to have peace of mind as they pursue their business-building ambitions," said Jennifer Knittel, Marketing Manager for Salon and Spa Galleria. This sentiment underscores the importance of the enrollment sessions, as they provide a practical solution to a significant concern within the beauty industry.
