What makes a good insurance policy for a hairdresser?

A hairdresser, whether self-employed or owner of a small business, can benefit from insurance that includes liability cover and a range of optional add-ons such as employers' liability, products liability, personal accident and cover for tools and equipment.

How hairdresser insurance can help you

Liability and products insurance is designed to help with legal costs if your treatments, your products or business activities harm a client or a member of the public, or damage their property. For example, if you burned someone while straightening their hair and they took legal action you could use your insurance to cover your costs.

Cover for tools and equipment can be useful if your scissorers, blades or any other equipment are stolen.

Employers' liability cover is a legal requirement if you have any employees working for you, including volunteers or people doing work experience.

Personal accident cover offers a payout if a director or employee is injured as a result of your business.
