Insurance for Beauty Salons
Professional Indemnity
The joys of being a beauty professional are having your clients seek your expert advice and treatments, expecting nothing but the best. As careful and vigilant you may be, the unfortunate reality is that things can and do go wrong.
A compensation claim made against you not only has the potential to financially devastate your business, but it can turn your reputation into an ugly mess – and not the type a tad of concealer can fix.
Professional Indemnity Insurance is designed to protect your business against claims for negligence or professional misconduct. It protects businesses against the following financial losses:
- Settlements and court costs
- Legal and defence costs
- PR costs
Public Liability
When you picture a beauty salon, a zone of relaxation and rejuvenation is normally what comes to mind – not a place for potential accidents and property damage to occur. The unfortunate reality is that accidents do happen, and damage can be expensive to fix.
Public Liability Insurance provides peace of mind against claims made against you by third parties for property damage, and personal injury or death, in circumstances that are not covered by the Accident Compensation Commission (ACC)). It’s also a likely requirement by your landlord if you lease your business premises.
Business Insurance
Whilst your customers are vital to your business, so are your contents, stock, equipment and your building if you own it. Protecting the important things, like your beauty equipment, against any unforeseen events means you can get back to business in the wave of a mascara wand.
Business Insurance can include cover for the following:
Contents and Stock: protect your salon’s contents and stock from events such as burglary, theft and loss or damage caused by fire and other perils.
Building – consider Building cover when you own the building which your salon operates from. Wake up free of dark circles knowing your building is insured for repairs to damage or rebuilding if you were to suffer an insured event, like a fire, storm or earthquake (if you have taken out the earthquake option).
Portable Equipment: if you operate your beauty salon on the run, Portable Equipment cover provides protection for your equipment and stock if it is lost, stolen or damaged anywhere in New Zealand.
Business Interruption: how would your business survive if it had to close your salon doors for a few days or even longer due to an insurable event? Without client appointments, that’s a lot of lost income you need to makeup.
Business Interruption covers lost income and some of the increased costs of running your business as a result of interruption caused by events covered under your policy.

Business Insurance – This is an insurance package that can include different types of cover to help shield your small business from everyday risks. Business Interruption, Equipment Breakdown, and Theft are examples of the types of cover that can be included.
Just like the haircuts, manicures, and looks you create, every beauty salon is unique. Your insurance premiums will probably differ from other salons and beauty businesses, even those just down the road.
Some factors that can influence your insurance premiums include (but are not limited to):
- The work you do
- Where your salon is located (or the area where you work, for mobile salons)
- Who is being covered (i.e., just you, or you and your employees?)
- Your business’ annual revenue and turnover
- How much cover you need or want
- Your history of past insurance claims
These factors (and others) are used to help calculate how much you’ll pay for insurance. To better understand the amount you can expect to pay, it may be wise to compare quotes from two or more insurers. This can also help you find cover that fits your unique needs as a beauty professional.
