About hair extensions insurance

Hairdressing salon contents and equipment cover

Your hair extensions equipment and the contents of your workspace can both be covered under this policy.

Liability

Hairdressing salon public liability insurance with £1m treatment extension

Any injury to a customer or member of public caused by your negligence in relation to your hairdressing and hair extension work could potentially leave you liable for huge compensation claims. Take out an insurance policy designed for the unique risks of your industry.

Certificate

Protection for your hairdressing salon business

This hairdressing salon insurance cover can be built to suit your needs. If you employ staff, you need employers' liability insurance by law, which we can also include. Business interruption insurance protects your loss of profits if you own or rent your own salon and can’t continue trading due to an insured event. You will need to contact us to discuss your needs as your salon grows.

If you open additional premises, take on new employees or buy new equipment, let us know and we can update your policy to accommodate your changes. It’s important not to be underinsured as this can lead to claim payments being reduced which can have a negative impact on your business.
