What is a hairdresser?

Hairdressers are skilled professionals when it come to cutting and styling hair. They work closely with their clients to create the best hairstyle for them, helping to boost their confidence and personal style.

A hairdresser meets and deals with different clients, on a daily basis. Some hairdressers specialise in areas such as, hair texture, colouring, braiding, extensions and more—the possibility for creativity is endless.

Hairdressers can be self-employed with no business premises, be working at a premises, be part of or own a company who primarily work at their customers’ premises.

Why should I consider hairdresser insurance?

As a skilled professional you would hope that accidents won’t happen—but they can.

Whether it is an accident, working with chemicals or sharp and hot tools, theft of your valued equipment or accidental damage caused by a client—it’s unavoidable to completely prevent risk and a simple mistake can be costly.

As a freelance or mobile hairstylist, you may want to consider hairdressers insurance even more, as you’re just as susceptible to the same risks as bigger businesses, yet it can be far more difficult to cover the costs.

Hairdresser insurance enables you to be protected against claims for accidental injury or property damage, as well as damage or theft of your equipment.
