As a hairdresser or stylist, your job is important throughout the year. Whether it’s summer or winter, your clients come to you to look and feel beautiful. You treat your customers with a service to suit their hair, whether it has been pre-coloured, damaged or just untrimmed. In addition to your in-salon services, more often than not you are trusted to give hair care advice in all areas, such as wig and extension maintenance or scalp treatments.
Our job at Professional Beauty Direct is to offer our hairstylist insurance services to help meet your professional requirements. Our team have a broad understanding of the beauty and hair industry and we aim to make the subject of insurance less intimidating and more approachable, whether you are a newly qualified hairdresser looking for a hairdressing insurance package or a more experienced hairstylist, our self-employed hairdresser insurance policy is designed to help cover a range of circumstances.
Our standard freelance hairdressing and stylist insurance covers a range of types of cutting, colouring and styling. As with any profession, there can be a risk of causing accidental injury to a customer, for example if they are burnt by your hair curler or if they have a severe allergic reaction to your styling products. This is why we offer a liability cover of £6,000,000 which provides cover for a range of hair treatments.
Amongst other things we cover:
As a self-employed or mobile hairdresser or stylist, your professional equipment can support your success, from your stock of hair products to your scissors and salon-quality hair dryers or straighteners. Building up an inventory of your tools is not easy, and it is certainly not cheap. We also realise it’s not a quick process mastering hairdressing and styling. It takes years of practice and work experience. Our insurance for self-employed hairdressers helps to ensure that the time and money you’ve spent investing in your business isn’t damaged as a result of a customer claim. If you’re looking for kit or equipment cover, this can be incorporated within your policy as an optional extra at an additional cost.
If you would like to find out more information, please take a look at our Treatments List. If you are still unable to find the service you offer, don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll confirm whether we cover that treatment.
As an extension of our policy, we can add Teacher Training, which can cover you as a tutor and up to 15 students in your class. We currently have three types of liability insurance covers, which include: Public Liability Insurance, Treatment Liability Insurance and Product Liability Insurance.
We pride ourselves in providing a mobile hairdressing insurance policy that covers a range of treatments that you are likely to offer your clients. However, if you’re a mobile beauty and hair technician offering an array of different services, our Beauty policy can be chosen to provide cover across a range of aspects of hair and beauty.
