What is...

barber insurance?

Whether you’re carrying out routine trims, styling with clippers or giving straight razor shaves, you’re bound to run into the risk of accidents. Sharp blades and electronic equipment could cause cuts and razor burns while bleach, treatments and styling products could cause reactions, leaving your clients uncomfortable and you at risk.

Barber insurance protects against this and provides compensation if the unexpected happens, keeping your employees, clients and cash flow safe.


Why is it important for barbers to have insurance?

Due to the nature of working with clients in close proximity, there are many risks you could run into. Accidents or injuries to your clients could happen and expensive damages to your equipment and building due to unforeseen events like floods and fires.

Without sufficient cover, you could end up paying out of your own pocket if someone makes a claim against your business or you don’t have a policy to claim on if you need to.


How much does barber insurance cost?

How much you’ll pay annually will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your business, business location, type of policy purchased, coverage limits and previous claims history.

Do you need separate insurance for apprentices?

If you have apprentices or training barbers that aren’t fully qualified you must tell your broker so the right cover can be arranged.

Keep in mind your cover is only likely to be valid if you stick to the following:

  • Apprentices only carry out activities they’ve been professionally trained for
  • They should be under regular supervision by someone who is fully qualified
  • You tell clients the apprentices are not fully qualified

Please check with your insurer for terms and conditions that you may have to follow.

Ensure your business is protected.
