How do I know if my certificates are accepted?
You can always guarantee that your certificates are accepted if the course is accredited by BABTAC or CIBTAC. Other accredited courses are accepted, we will happily check if you send us a copy. You may also need pre-requisites, for instance a manicure and pedicure qualification to be insured for extensions. If you have an overseas qualification we would advise you to get Naric UK to translate and authenticate your qualification.

What if I don’t have my certificates yet?
Don’t worry - a letter from your college or training provider explaining you are qualified and what you are qualified in will be great, until we have received a copy of your certificates. Once you have received your certificates, pop a copy across to us, so we can update your details.

How long will it take for me to be insured?
As long as you have supplied all the relevant documents, you will be insured from the day we receive them. Check out our application form to double check what you need to send us.

When will I receive my welcome pack?
Maximum 5 working days from the date we have received it. Welcome packs are sent on a first come, first served basis.

How can I send my application?
By post, fax, or email, whichever is easiest for you. You can find all these details on our contact us page.

I’m not appearing for your salon search, how do I get listed?
Simply give us a phone call or an email, we’ll check if the details are correct for you and opt you in to getting listed. Please note that if you have opted out of DPA you won’t be listed.

I don't have a website but I do have a Facebook page, can I have this listed on the salon search instead?
Due to Facebook policies only Facebook pages can be listed, as this is a public profile and has been authorised by the Facebook team. Facebook personal profiles however cannot be listed as this would be against Facebook rules. The difference is that a personal profile will usually ask to be added as a 'friend'. If only a personal profile link has been provided this will not be added to the salon search and BABTAC are under no obligation to inform you of this.

I have the experience, do I need qualifications to be insured?
Yes, you can send copies of your certificates via post, fax or email. We accept most UK qualifications, but you can always rely on a BABTAC or CIBTAC qualification.

I’m already a Member, but have recently completed a new course, how do I get insured for my new treatment?
Pop us a copy of your new certificate and we will update your details. Then we will send a new certificate of insurance to you, free of charge! The only exception is if the treatment is a specialist treatment extension, or you do not have the pre requisites required.

I have Salon Membership, what happens if a Therapist leaves?
If a Therapist leaves, not to worry, you can replace a Therapist free of charge until your Membership is due for renewal.

What happens if I renew or join at a trade show?
