Nail Salon Insurance by the industry experts

Great nails don’t just happen — it takes a lot of hard graft and work in order to bring someone’s nail art dreams to life. And the same is true for your salon: you’ve spent countless days and hours building up a place where people can come and feel great about themselves.

Unfortunately, accidents do happen — it’s all part of running a business. Despite your best efforts, one of your regulars has had her nails filed too hard and now her fingers are bleeding. She sues you for compensation, but you can’t afford to pay. Your dream feels like it’s slipping away.

This is the point at which our comprehensive cover comes to your aid. Our Salon Gold nail salon insurance package includes full treatment liability protection, meaning all compensation and solicitors’ fees are paid for on your behalf. Contact us to receive a nail salon insurance quote today and get the ball rolling.

What is nail salon liability insurance?

Insurance for a nail salon is usually purchased as a package featuring a range of insurance covers. At Salon Gold, our comprehensive packages help to safeguard your nail salon business, regardless of the situation. As standard, we offer public liability, product liability, treatment risk, cover for your stock and contents and legal expenses, all of which are key covers for those in the beauty industry.

Public liability insurance is the backbone of any nail salon insurance policy, and protects you should your work activities cause injury or property damage to a third party. Considering you’ll be in contact with your customers at almost all times in your salon, public liability cover is essential. Meanwhile, product liability insurance safeguards you if a product you use or supply causes personal injury to a client, whereas treatment risk protects you financially if a treatment goes wrong. We also offer cover for legal expenses, personal accident and cover for your shop glass, stock and contents while you may also need some of our optional covers.

Here at Salon Gold, all of our packages are bespoke, and let our clients get on with the job without fretting that one mistake will be the end of their business.

Nail Salon Insurance FAQs

Why do you need nail salon insurance?

Insurance is critical for any nail salon. How would you cope if your salon was broken into and everything stolen? Or perhaps there was a fire and all of your work belongings were destroyed and you were unable to trade? Without nail salon insurance, you would have to replace your equipment and fund your loss of profits yourself. But with it, your insurer will do so for you, on your behalf, keeping your head above water financially.

Insurance protection is also crucial if a member of the public or a customer brings legal action against you for causing them injury or property damage. This could set you back tens of thousands of pounds, which, without insurance, you’d have to pay yourself.

How much does insurance for a nail salon cost?

How much your nail salon insurance costs depends on several factors, such as your level of experience, your claims history, how much cover you require and how secure your salon is.

When will my nail salon liability insurance start?

You’ll receive protection from the moment you take out an insurance policy with Salon Gold, with no need to wait around for any documents.
