What`s included
Our Hairdresser & Barber Insurance can be tailored to include protection for the risks commonly faced by hairdressers, barbers, salon owners, and beauty professionals. The available cover will depend on the policy you choose.
Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance helps protect your business if a client or member of the public is injured or their property is accidentally damaged as a result of your business activities.
Whether you work from a salon, visit clients, or operate as a mobile hairdresser or barber, this cover can help with eligible legal costs and compensation claims arising from covered incidents.
Treatment Cover
Treatment Cover can provide protection if a client suffers an injury or experiences an adverse reaction while receiving an insured treatment carried out as part of your professional services.
This can be particularly important for businesses providing hair colouring, chemical treatments, styling, and other beauty services where treatment-related claims may arise.
Employers' Liability Insurance
If your business employs staff, Employers' Liability Insurance is a legal requirement in most circumstances within the UK.
This cover helps protect your business against claims made by employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work. The minimum legal requirement is £5 million of cover, although higher limits are often available depending on the policy selected.
Salon & Barber Shop Insurance
Running a salon or barber shop involves protecting more than your services. Insurance can also help safeguard your business premises, equipment, stock, and day-to-day operations against a range of insured risks.
Whether you own a salon or manage a busy barber shop, suitable cover can help reduce the financial impact of unexpected events.
