What is hairdressing insurance?
Hairdressing insurance is a public liability policy that protects barbers and grooming professionals against claims for injuries or property damage that occur in their shops or during their services. It ensures financial protection for barbers working with sharp tools and specialised equipment.
It covers a range of scenarios where your hairdressing business could be held legally responsible for causing harm or damage.
Some key areas it typically includes are injury to third parties, damage to third-party property, legal expenses, and compensation claims.
Public liability insurance is crucial to hairdressers for several reasons:
- Business reputation: Insurance reflects professionalism, enhancing trust with clients.
- Financial protection: Accidents, such as burns from styling tools or damaged client property, can be costly, and insurance provides protection.
- Client Requirements: Insured salons are more appealing to clients.
What are the benefits of a hairdressing insurance policy?
Personal injury claims
Hairdressing insurance provides cover if a customer is injured during your services, such as a burn from a heated styling tool.
Damage to property
Accidental damage, like spilling products on a customer’s belongings or damaging their property, is covered under this policy.
Legal protection
Should you face a claim, hairdressing insurance covers legal expenses, offering peace of mind while you focus on your business.
* Subject to your chosen level of policy cover and the prevailing policy excess.
How much does hairdressing insurance cost?
This depends on the nature and size of your hairdressing business, the level of risk involved and any claims history you might have.
The cost of public liability insurance varies based on several factors:
Level of cover
The level of cover, usually starting at £1 million, affects premiums. Higher levels may be needed for larger salons.
Nature of business
Premiums may be higher for offering services like chemical treatments or extensions may raise costs due to increased risk.
Location
Where you operate can also influence premiums, with urban and high-crime areas often incurring higher costs.
Business size and turnover
A hairdressing salon with significant annual revenue might pay higher premiums, as a busy salon presents more opportunities for accidents.
Number of employees
The more staff members you employ, the higher your premiums could be, as each worker adds to the potential risk of claims.
Claims history
A claims history can influence pricing; barbers with a clean record often secure lower premiums.
