Frequently asked questions about beautician business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about beautician insurance policies. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect beauticians?

Our beautician insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

A facial treatment formula stains a client’s expensive blouse. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

You bump a client’s ear with a curling iron, causing a burn. Your general beautician liability insurance coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A client claims you made their hair fall out with the wrong hair dye, causing them to miss work. Professional liability insurance helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You get a cut when handling pedicure tools and need a few stitches. Workers’ compensation insurance with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

A branch shatters the windshield of your business vehicle during an overnight storm. Commercial auto insurance will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

A small fire breaks out and causes damage to your salon. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
