About salon insurance
We cover a range of beauty treatments
It’s amazing what people do to look beautiful. We can cover you for a range of treatments such as tanning, hair and makeup, and nail treatments. Unfortunately, however, we can’t normally cover therapies such as hydro therapy, hair transplants or any treatment involving breaking the skin or blood vessels. If you’re not sure if one of your treatments can be covered, please ask our team on 0330 162 3089.
Add to your policy as your salon grows
If you open up additional premises, take on new staff or buy new equipment, let us know and we can update your policy to accommodate your changes. It’s important not to be under insured as this can lead to claim payments being reduced which can have a negative impact on your business. So although your premium may rise as you expand, it’s worth it to make sure you are correctly covered.
Salon equipment cover
There’s a lot of kit which helps you do your job. As such, we offer equipment cover in all of our beauty salon insurance policies. In most cases, we can even let you choose your cover limit to make sure that all of your important equipment is covered.
We offer a range of liability cover
Public liability and employers’ liability should be at the core of any business insurance. We can also include products liability cover if you sell beauty products to your clients.
When you need to make a claim, we'll guide you through the process and get your claim settled as quickly as possible.
- Find your insurance documents and make sure you have all your information at hand, including your policy number.
- Call 0333 234 1736 and explain exactly what happened.
- Provide photos if requested to help us understand what happened as quickly as we can.

We don’t put a limit on the number of employees you can cover. However, if you take on new staff after you’ve taken out your policy, please let us know, so that we can update your policy and keep you covered.
We can offer cover for this, however it’s not a standard feature of our policies, so please make sure you request it when you set up your policy. Once included, you’ll be covered for ear and nose piercing with a gun only.
