Read on to find out about some of the insurance features you can choose for your mobile hairdressing insurance policy.

Our standard cover

  • Public and products liability insurance for mobile hair professionals

    Sharp tools and powerful chemicals are used everyday within the hair and beauty trade. Stains caused by spillages can seem insignificant at first, but can easily lead to a costly compensation claim from a client.

    If you’re working in customers’ homes, you can only improve the environment for safety so much, unlike your own premises. This means that it can be even harder to remove every potential hazard.

    Public and Products Liability cover is there to pay legal costs, any compensation (up to the chosen limit) and, if you’re found to be at fault, the claimants’ legal costs.

    As standard, we’ll cover you for Public and Products Liability. Then it’s up to you what insurance you choose for your business. But, we’ll explain every step of the way what you can get and what it will cover your business for.

Mobile Hairdressing Insurance – cover options

  • Your building(s)

    If you insure your business premises where you work (your salon), as standard we'll give you equipment breakdown cover, which pays to repair or replace your boiler if it breaks down (excludes wear and tear). It also covers other built-in machinery like burglar alarms and air-conditioning systems.

  • Business contents

    If you insure the business equipment that you use at your premises, such as washer/dryers and hair processors, as standard we'll give you equipment breakdown cover. It pays to repair or replace your equipment if it breaks down (excludes wear and tear).

  • Theft of takings

    Covers cash or cheques stolen from you in transit, from a safe or on you while you’re working at other premises, such as your clients’ homes. Maximum limits apply.

  • Employers' liability

    There are a few exceptions but if you have employees then by law you need to have Employers' Liability Insurance. It covers your legal costs if they suffer illness or injury in the course of their work for you. Click here to read a guide which provides details of who is an employee and which organisations are exempt for further details.

  • Business stock

    If you’re keeping stock, such as hair care products and styling tools, then this optional extra provides cover if an insured event happens, such as a break-in or a fire or flood damaging the stock. Maximum limits apply.

  • Business interruption

    If you can’t trade due to an insured event, such as a fire or flood, at a third party premises where you carry out treatments, then this insures you for the increased cost of working. It covers the costs you incur trying to avoid losing turnover or to reduce the amount of lost turnover.

Frequently asked questions

  • For hairdressers and beauty therapists who work on the move, the cost of insurance depends on a wide range of factors and because you can tailor your insurance to your needs, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ premium amount.

    This means that the only way to get an accurate idea of how much your mobile hairdressing or beauty insurance policy will cost is to get a quote.

  • Even if clients aren’t visiting your premises, public liability cover for self-employed professionals still covers many of the risks you face. Working in customers’ homes means there’s still expensive damage that could occur should an accident happen.

    If you’re qualified for the services you provide, optional treatments liability cover will cover you against compensation claims for the hair and beauty treatments on this list that you've chosen to insure.

    If you employ anyone in your mobile hairdressing or beauty business, you’re required by law to have Employers’ Liability Insurance.

    Remember also that your existing vehicle insurance policy probably won’t cover you for business use. You’ll need to add in commercial use to your policy or take out business van insurance.

  • If you only carry out occasional treatments on a semi-professional basis, you face the same risks that come with being a mobile beauty therapist or mobile hairdresser. You could still be liable for a compensation claim and if you don’t have cover you’d have to pay the cost yourself.

  • Product liability covers cosmetic products or products of any kind that you sell or give to your clients. The cover, that comes as standard alongside public liability, insures you against compensation claims for supplying products that make clients ill or damage their property.
