As a mobile hairdresser, you may be visiting clients at their home, or even in care homes and other locations, all of which could leave you exposed to claims against you. Mobile hairdressing insurance protects your livelihood against a variety of risks that are associated with your profession.

Mobile hairdressing insurance typically includes public liability insurance, which can protect against claims made by third parties for bodily injury or property damage resulting from the mobile hairdressing services. It may also include additional covers, such as personal accident cover, which provides financial assistance if you suffer an injury or disability that prevents you from working.

The specific coverage and limits of insurance that a freelance hairdressers need will depend on the specific risks and operations of their business.

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Working in a busy environment at various locations with heat, chemicals and sharp objects means you need professional protection in case something goes wrong.

Reactions to treatments, a faulty hairdryer and puddles of water that may have gone unnoticed all have the potential to cause injuries. You therefore need comprehensive cover to let you focus on the job in hand. That’s where we come in.

Mobile hairdresser insurance can protect you whilst you travel to clients and carry out work, should something unexpected happen. Normally mobile hairdresser insurance will provide liability cover as well as other covers that can be tailored to your needs. Here are some other covers you might need to consider:

  • Public liability – to protect against injury to salon visitors or damage to their property.
  • Employers' liability – to protect your salons employees.
  • Personal accident - to provide financial assistance in the event of an accident.
  • Equipment, contents and stock – to reinstate your items and belongings.
  • Business interruption – to keep finances running when disaster strikes.
  • Money cover – for theft or attempted theft.
  • Business legal expenses – to cover the cost of legal expenses or defend your salon against legal action.
  • Specialist treatment cover - depending on the types of treatment you offer.

The cost of insurance for a mobile hairdresser normally depends on several factors, including the locations you work at and the insurance covers you need.

It is difficult to estimate the cost of insurance cover for a mobile hairdresser without taking these factors into consideration. The easiest way to get an accurate estimate for the cost of insurance is to compare quotes on the Premierline website. Or, you can speak to one of our insurance advisors who can assess the overall needs and risks associated with your business and can find cover accordingly.

Mobile hairdressers usually travel to their clients' locations to provide beauty services. Therefore its important to have flexible insurance in place to ensure your business activities are covered, regardless of location.

Here are some common locations where mobile hairdressers may usually work:

  • Renting a chair in a salon - Many hairdressers are self-employed, but share salon space with others by a renting a chair agreement.
  • Private residences - Mobile hairdressers can provide services in the homes of their clients, in flexible locations such as a living room.
  • Weddings and other events - Mobile hairdressers can be hired to provide hair styling services for weddings, proms, parties, and other special events.
  • Retirement homes and care facilities - Mobile hairdressers can provide cuts to elderly or disabled clients who are unable to travel to a salon.
  • Film and TV sets - Mobile hair stylists may be hired to provide services to actors and crew members on film and TV sets.

Location restrictions may vary between different insurers so it's important to check your own policy wording to ensure you are covered and if you are unsure, speak to one of our insurance advisors. It's also important to note that mobile hairdressers should ensure they have the necessary licenses and certifications to provide their services, and that they follow all health and safety guidelines when providing their services at clients' locations.
