Do hairdressers need insurance?
Working closely with clients on a daily basis makes public liability insurance an essential cover for barbers, hairdressers and salons. A slip on a freshly cleaned floor - or a missing handbag - could result in an expensive claim against your business. Depending on the work you carry out, you may want to consider a number of other covers too.
- Choose from £1m, £2m, or £5m public liability cover
- Add protection for your staff and your equipment
- Enjoy 5-star customer service and claims support
- Add or remove covers and adjust your limits, with no extra fees
- Pay monthly or annually, it’s your choice
- Instant access to policy documents

Do self-employed hairdressers have to get insurance?

Do hair salons have to get insurance?

Despite this, the majority of businesses that have lots of contact with clients consider public liability an essential, as many would be unable to afford an uninsured claim.
