Cosmetology Insurance Overview

Cosmetologists face unique risks every day. BeautyGuard offers complete beautician insurance solutions to protect your equipment, operations, and income, so you can grow with confidence. 

One lawsuit or claim can disrupt work, drain finances, and harm reputations. BeautyGuard offers liability insurance for cosmetologists to protect against client and third-party claims related to services, operations, or conduct. This can 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 liability insurance: 

  • Tools & Products: Property coverage for essential business equipment, furniture, treatment tools, and retail inventory. 
  • Communicable Disease: Legal defense if a client alleges they contracted an illness due to your negligence.  
  • Assault & Battery: Legal defense and indemnification for covered physical altercations.  

Cosmetologist Claim Examples

No matter how talented, cosmetologists encounter unexpected risks. These real-life claim scenarios (excluding legal defense costs) reveal how your coverage can safeguard your work and livelihood. 

Coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions outlined in the policy. Claim outcomes may vary based on specific circumstances and do not guarantee future coverage. You may be held liable for harm caused to a client. Always take proper precautions and follow safe practices at all times.
