Salons & Barbershops Insurance FAQs
Does a standard retail BOP cover a chemical burn from hair dye or waxing?
No—standard GL excludes 'professional services.' You must add Beautician/Barber Professional Liability.
Are 1099 booth renters covered under my salon's insurance?
Usually no—booth renters should carry their own individual policy naming your salon LLC as Additional Insured, or be specifically scheduled on your policy.
What if I sell retail shampoos and private-label hair products?
Products Liability inside your salon BOP covers third-party reactions to retail products sold in-store.
Do Texas salons need Workers' Comp for W-2 stylists?
While optional under Texas law, repetitive carpal tunnel, chemical dermatitis, and wet-floor slips make WC smart for multi-chair salons.
