When insurance experts Shawn Woedl and Nate Szana looked at the beauty industry, they saw a huge problem. Salon and spa owners, estheticians, permanent makeup artists, hair stylists, and other beauty professionals were really struggling to find affordable, comprehensive insurance. Most options were costly, left gaps in protection, or required a long, frustrating process to secure coverage.
With decades of combined experience in creating specialized insurance programs for hard-to-place risks, Shawn and Nate understood these challenges firsthand. As the CEO of REInsurePro and InkShopGuard, Shawn had already built successful insurance solutions for niche markets like tattoo and piercing studios—industries often misunderstood by traditional insurers. Nate, a commercial insurance specialist and long-time advocate for small business owners, brought deep knowledge of the unique risks faced by entrepreneurs in beauty and wellness.
Together, they set out to build BeautyGuard—a straightforward, affordable insurance program without the coverage gaps found in other beauty business insurance policies. By partnering with top-rated carriers and focusing on the needs of salons, spas, and self-employed industry professionals, BeautyGuard delivers comprehensive protection that covers the space you work in, the tools you rely on, and the services you provide.
