Universal Insurance Facilities, Ltd., one the nation’s leading providers of quality insurance to the tanning-salon industry, will enhance its program to include day spas, says company Vice President Randy Tipton.

“We are excited to be expanding our coverage to include the day spa industry,” Tipton says. “Our well-trained staff has been serving tanning salons for more than 10 years. Providing coverage for day spas is a perfect evolution. Universal will bring spa owners the security they need, with the knowledge and experience to back it up.”

The day spa industry has increased rapidly in the last several years, attracting a loyal customer base by providing an increasing array of services. Spa owners can benefit from an insurance carrier attuned to their industry--rather than opting for a boilerplate small-business policy from local insurance agents who may not offer the specialized coverages or knowledge these customers need.

Universal’s program will provide specialized insurance coverages for general business liability, personal property and professional liability. This coverage, specialized to the spa industry, will include (but not be limited to) microdermabrasion, electrolysis, esthetician treatments, personal-training services and massage therapy.
