Benefits built for beauty professionals

The beauty industry works differently. Many professionals are self-employed, independent, commission-based, or working inside small salon businesses.

Professional Beauty Care is building access to health, insurance and financial solutions designed around those realities.

Health and wellness coverage

Members will have access to benefits that may include the following.

Support with eligible prescription medications.

Dental coverage

Coverage for eligible preventive and basic dental services.

Vision care

Support toward eligible vision expenses.

Paramedical services

May include eligible massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic care and other approved practitioners.

Health spending account

Flexible funds members can put toward eligible healthcare expenses.

Virtual healthcare

Access healthcare professionals remotely by phone, video or secure messaging.

Mental health support

Access to eligible mental health and wellness services.

Additional insurance coverage

  • Life insurance
  • Accidental death and dismemberment
  • Dependent life coverage
  • Out-of-province medical coverage
  • Medical services and equipment

Final coverage levels and eligibility will be outlined in the official member plan documentation.

Support through every stage of life

The current plan concept includes continued benefits support during eligible maternity and parental leave, so members keep access to health and wellness coverage in a period when income may be reduced.

The design contemplates continued extended health, dental, life, AD&D, health spending account and virtual care access during eligible leave.
