What types of insurance do hair salons and hairdressers need?
These policies provide property and liability coverage for the most common risks faced by beauty salons.
General liability insurance
A general liability policy covers basic hair salon risks, such as spilling dye on a customer’s expensive clothing. Bundle with commercial property insurance for savings in a BOP.
BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injury
- Customer property damage
- Product liability insurance
Business owner’s policy
A BOP bundles general liability insurance and commercial property insurance at a discount. This is often one of the most cost-effective salon insurance policies.
BEST FOR
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Business property damage
- Business interruption coverage
Professional liability insurance
This policy covers lawsuits related to work performance, such as dissatisfaction over a client's hair dye or styling. This policy is also called errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
BEST FOR
- Lawsuits from dissatisfied customers
- Harm caused by a treatment
- Mistakes, such as using the wrong dye
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for salons that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Missed wages
- Employee injury lawsuits
Cyber insurance
Cyber insurance covers costs related to data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for hair salons that handle credit card numbers and other personal information.
BEST FOR
- Data breach notification costs
- Fraud monitoring services
- Cyber incident investigations
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers the cost of accidents involving a vehicle owned by a hair salon. Most states require this coverage for vehicles owned by a business.
BEST FOR
- Property damage caused by your vehicle
- Legal costs from auto accidents
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
