Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about availability, safety, booking, and where we’re expanding next.
Where can I serve clients?
BODEWRK is live in New York City. You set your own travel radius — serve the neighborhoods that work for you. Live across New York City — availability varies by neighborhood as our founding network grows. Tell us where you are so we know where to expand next.
What insurance do I need?
Professional liability insurance — also called malpractice or beauty liability coverage. That is the policy that responds if a client claims they were harmed by your service (burn, cut, reaction, negligent treatment). It is not health insurance, car insurance, workers’ compensation, homeowners/renters insurance, or a salon-booth policy that only names a shop address. Upload a current Certificate of Insurance in your legal name before you go live. It must list professional liability and cover the services you will perform, including mobile / in-home work. A combined professional + general liability certificate is fine if professional liability is listed. You can create your account first. Insurance is a BODEWRK platform condition before your first job, not a New York license exam requirement and not required at signup. We do not sell insurance and do not name a carrier. Confirm coverage with your own carrier. This is not legal advice.
What percentage does the platform take?
Two clocks. Your Client: if a client’s first completed paid booking with you comes from your book-me link, QR, or pay link, that pair is 0% platform fee on those visits for the life of the relationship. Card processing still applies (~3%). Tips are 100% yours. Marketplace (BODEWRK-sourced): 0% platform fee for 30 days after you go live. After that, 10–20% by service cost, plus card processing (~3%). Card processing still applies during the 30 days. We never mean 100% of the booking — only 100% of tips plus 0% platform fee where disclosed.
What is a book-me link?
After you go live, Account → Your book-me link. Share it in your bio, texts, or a QR. If that client’s first completed paid booking with you comes from that link, they are Your Client: 0% platform fee on those visits; card processing still applies.
