Sometimes in fashion and beauty it pays to take a risk. That one person is all it takes to break the norm and wear that new look that gets everyone’s head turning.
When it comes to running your hairdressing business though, there are some risks you might not want to leave unprotected.
Here is a common business risk hairdressers face in their day-to-day and what business insurance policy can help safeguard you from the consequences.
The risk of injury or property damage to customers or suppliers
Scissors, razors, electrical equipment and hazardous chemicals – there are many things that can go wrong in a hair salon.
All it takes is a client to trip over a cord or for you to spill some bleach on a supplier’s new sneakers and you could be in for an expensive claim.
Take this example** where a 70-year-old customer slipped on some cut hair at a barbershop after a service and allegedly injured his right shoulder.
A $75,000 settlement was agreed in court.
Luckily, the barbershop had Public Liability insurance, which protects the from third-party injury and property damage, and the insurer paid the money along with $10,000 in legal fees.
Many landlords also require tenants to have a particular level of Public Liability cover, so it’s best to check!
