Beauty Salon Insurance Overview

Get comprehensive coverage with BeautyGuard’s beauty shop insurance, designed to safeguard your salon, equipment, and financial security. 

Our property coverage insures the spaces and tools that keep your business running. It applies whether you own or rent your location. This coverage extends to:  

  • Your owned building or rented space  
  • Essential business equipment, furniture, treatment tools, and retail inventory 
  • Lost revenue/business income due to a covered property loss 

One lawsuit or claim can disrupt your business, drain finances, and harm your reputation. Salon liability insurance protects against client and third-party claims related to services, operations, or conduct. This may include:  

  • Bodily injury or damage to another’s property 
  • Errors, mistakes, or omissions in professional services 
  • Lawsuits related to libel or slander 
  • Allegations of abuse, assault, or battery

Some risks require an extra layer of protection. BeautyGuard offers additional coverages to address exposures that fall outside standard property and liability insurance:  

  • Workers’ Compensation: Wage reimbursement and medical benefits for W-2 employees injured on the job.   
  • Equipment Breakdown: Extends property coverage to damage caused by sudden failure of essential systems like HVAC, electrical panels, etc.
