Let Huff Insurance Cut Your Insurance Costs
If you already own a hair salon or barbershop in Maryland, then you already know how seriously your clients take their hair and looks. More than ever, dissatisfied clients are filing lawsuits against their beautician or barber. A proper Beauty Salon Insurance or Barbershop Insurance plan is essential.
At my beautician’s chair there is a sign that says “Beauticians are not Magicians.” However, many client’s expectations are that they can make them look gorgeous and when they leave disappointed some of them will sue.
Let’s suppose that someone comes in for a perm and the chemicals in the perm burn their neck and scalp. Surely, you don’t want your customers to be in pain or dissatisfied with your services. But, when she was supposed to have her wedding the next day, or a big public speaking appearance, and her self-image is ruined then your apology probably will not be enough.
Salons are busy places and the combination of water, electrical cords and clients that are distracted by the towel staying on their head, are prone to have slip and fall and trip injuries. Premises liability is very important for your business.
Hair salon insurance and barber insurance in Pasadena protects you from Business Liability Insurance in the rare case that a client suffers bodily injury. With your comprehensive business policy not only will you have general liability but it can be endorsed to include professional liability coverage.
We can insure the contents in the salon as well as providing you with equipment breakdown and business income coverage.
Salon owners has a variety of insurance needs
At Huff Insurance we want to help you put together a comprehensive plan that includes:
- Business Property Insurance – for your fixtures, additional plumbing and electrical expenses as well as your stock and inventory

- Professional liability Insurance – to cover your “work”
- Workers Compensation Insurance– to cover an employee that gets injured on the job. Beauticians are known to have claims for repetitive motion such as carpel tunnel.
- Crime Insurance– Employee dishonesty is huge in this industry. Not only do you have concerns over employees stealing money or not ringing in services but the theft of supplies and inventory as well. Make sure that you have proper procedures in place to do background checks on employees. Also, using an accountant to contact an outside audit as well.
- Umbrella Insurance– You can purchase additional limits of liability coverage over your current general liability, professional liability and employer’s liability to provide you with the protection you need for your situation
- Cyber Liability Insurance / Data Breach Insurance– If the personal information is stolen then you are responsible for the cost to notify and monitor their credit.
