What is Hairdressing Salon Insurance?*

Hairdressing salon insurance refers to insurance that hair salons, barbershops, and mobile hairdressing businesses need to manage the risks associated with running a salon. Salon owners, operators, and professional hairdressers providing hair treatments, styling, and similar services can benefit from this insurance.

It typically includes public and products liability, but many salons add on policies like contents cover, portable tools, and business interruption insurance based on their operations.

Public & Products Liability

Provides cover if your salon is legally responsible for injury to a client or damage to third-party property connected to your business activities.

Commercial Property

Covers costs associated with claims of damage to premises through events including fire, storm and vandalism. Glass cover is typically important for hairdressing salons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Insurance Does a Hairdressing Salon Need?

Most hairdressing salons in Australia need public liability, product liability, and contents insurance to ensure all third-party injuries, property damage, and claims of negligence are covered. Without insurance, salons can face expensive liability claims if something goes wrong because of business operations.

Is Insurance Required for Mobile Hairdressers?

Yes, mobile hairdressers should still get salon insurance. Even though they don’t have one physical location, their business still faces the same risks as regular salons. However, you may need different liability and equipment cover depending on how your mobile business operates and what tools you use.

Does Salon Insurance Cover Damage to Equipment?

Yes, hairdressing salon insurance usually includes equipment and tools cover, which covers the repair and replacement of items crucial for business operations. Coverage can range from $2,000 to over $15,000 per claim, depending on your business size and equipment used.

What Doesn’t Salon Insurance Typically Cover?

Hairdressing salon insurance focuses on covering businesses that offer standard hair treatments and styles. Therefore, not everything will be covered for businesses offering high-risk services, such as cosmetic procedures outside of hairdressing services.

How are Insurance Limits Chosen?

Business size, location, client volume, risk exposure, and total asset value can affect your salon’s insurance limits. Larger, high-traffic salons typically need higher insurance limits.

Can I Insure a Home-Based Salon?

Yes, you can insure a home-based salon, but you may need both business and household insurance. Talk to an insurance broker to see what options are available for your unique needs.
