Hairdressers know it isn’t just about new dos and colours – it’s about all the life events where people want to feel good about themselves. You know that making someone’s day can be as simple as a chinwag and a blow dry and you want to bring great hair, and confidence, to the masses. But sometimes, things don’t always go to plan and when you’re working as a freelance or mobile hairdresser, you’re subject to a unique set of risks.
A routine bleaching treatment might badly damage your client’s hair, causing hair breakage or a blistered scalp. And if you’re faced with a compensation claim, having the right insurance in place is vital to protect the future of your business. At Salon Gold, we know that hairdressing accidents can and do happen and full treatment liability cover is central to our Salon Gold hairdressing insurance policy. So you can spend more time doing what you love, while we make sure your path ahead is clear.
Insurance provided by a Standard & Poor’s A (Strong) rated insurer.
We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.
Tailor-made insurance policies, made for specialists, by specialists.
Our hairdressing insurance policies include automatic covers such as public liability insurance, and as you’ll be working with clients, either at your home or theirs, or from business premises, public liability cover should be at the centre of your policy. This cover protects you if a client or member of the public makes a claim for property damage or injury. Other automatic covers include product liability, which is essential in the event that a product you supply causes personal injury, and professional treatment risk to secure your business if a treatment goes wrong. You can also add a number of optional covers to your policy, including stock & business equipment insurance, money cover and legal expenses.
At Salon Gold, we design specialist beauty insurance packages to suit the needs of your business, at a surprisingly affordable price. Working as a freelance or mobile hairdresser means you’ll be self-employed and therefore responsible for arranging your own insurance policy. You’ll know that your business is protected with the right insurance for your profession, so you can do what you love doing, with perfect peace of mind.

The range of tools and products you use as a hairdresser creates various risks, as they could potentially harm you or your clients — you might accidentally slip while cutting a client’s hair, or they may be allergic to a bleach product you use. As such, a hairdressing business insurance policy is essential protection for your business should any incident like this happen. Without a Salon Gold hairdressing insurance package, you may find yourself in hot water financially if a client makes a claim against you, especially considering the fact that, as a freelance or mobile hairdresser, you run the show yourself, meaning there could be more at stake.
Public liability and treatment risk liability insurance is essential for any mobile hairdresser. Without this cover you would be liable to pay compensation claims if a customer were to be injured during the course of a treatment. Claims for injuries such as a reaction to a hair colour treatment can cost thousands. whereas even minor burns from a faulty straightener or other hairdressing equipment, can result in claims of hundreds of pounds. Mobile hairdressers may also choose to protect their stock and equipment from damage or theft.
A hairdressing insurance package with Salon Gold automatically covers a variety of treatments. These include the application of dyes, tints, bleaches and perms, special hair style treatments such as straightening and conditioning treatments, and the use of electrical equipment like tongs, hair dryers and curlers.
