How Hair and Beauty Insurance Works
Examples of Hair & Beauty Insurance in action
A Bad Case of UV Burns
Following a first time visit to a tanning salon a young lady later suffered from bad burns and blisters due to over-exposure of UV light. This was all due to her being given incorrect information by a new starter at the salon who advised her at the time that the recommended maximum usage was 10 minutes when in fact it was half that at 5 minutes.
As a result of the young lady’s skin being burned so badly hospital treatment was required along with time off work to make a full recovery, which resulted in a loss of wages. Additional training for the staff was required to be provided by the salon but the treatment risk extension of the hair and beauty policy covered the salon for the losses as a result of the compensation claim.
A Case of Property Damage
Whilst working on a clients hair a beautician accidentally knocks over a bottle of hair dye. The fallen bottle causes a spill covering a seating area which also happens to be where another client has left her handbag. The handbag is of significant value (£2,000), with the owner of the handbag thus later seeking compensation to repair or replace the property in question. We source hair and beauty policies that come with Public Liability cover as standard, which provides protection against such claims.
