Hairdressers Insurance
What Is Hairdressers Insurance?
Whether you run a hairdressing shop, hair and beauty salon, a barber shop or are a mobile hairdresser, we can protect you with our range of hairdressers insurance policies. You may be an expert with the scissors, or a dye job master, but when a customer has an unexpected, yet adverse reaction to a treatment, or they trip over a hairdryer wire and hurt themselves, you’re the one left with a big compensation claim. Without insurance, you’d have legal fees to think of too. That’s why at The Insurance Octopus, we source and create bespoke policies that cover your business’s needs, your equipment, and the particular services you offer. We like to look good too, and with glowing testimonials, being a Feefo Platinum awarded company and offering a level of support like no other, you can trust us to find the right insurance policy for you.
Your clients are waiting, so we never keep you waiting either. To get a hairdressers insurance quote, please fill in our form and request a call back, and one of our team will get back to you. And when it comes time to update your policy, we won’t ever charge administration fees for mid-term adjustments. That’s just not our style.

How hairdressers insurance works
Examples of Hairdressers Insurance in action
A £10,000 case of soiled stock
Following severe and heavy rain fall a clothing shop discovers that almost half of their stock has been soiled due to rain creeping in via a leak in the roof brought on by the severe weather. The shop has up to £25,000 worth of Stock Cover in place and is thus adequately insured and can be compensated via their insurance for the damage caused.
