Associated Nail Professionals (ANP)
is the newest arrival to our family of
professional associations. Estheticians,
hairstylists, barbers, massage therapists,
and now nail professionals, too, can all
join our growing family.
We started out 27 years ago as Associated Bodywork &
Massage Professionals (ABMP). Members of ABMP who
also provided skin care services soon made it obvious they
needed resources and liability coverage specifi c to that
part of their work, so we launched Associated Skin Care
Professionals (ASCP) in 2007 to fi ll those needs.
Our third association grew in similar ways when we
saw how many ASCP members also provided hair services. We launched
Associated Hair Professionals (AHP) in 2012, and now we are expanding
again to provide a full range of business-specifi c benefi ts for nail
professionals. We even have members who practice all four specialties!
We're a small and friendly team all working out of the same offi ce in
the mountains outside Golden, Colorado, and we're proud to support
professionals all across the country with fast, personal service every time
you need us.
If you're an ASCP member and you're not sure whether you've told
us you also do nails (or hair, or massage), just give us a call or send an
email so we can make sure you're covered for all the services you provide.
You won't pay any extra, and you'll
get access to benefi ts specifi cally
designed for those aspects of your
practice—from marketing materials
to discounts to advanced education.
More than 93,000 great people
in spa, salon, beauty, and wellness
professions are happy members of
our family today. We're delighted
you are one of them.
