Business insurance

Insurance for Barbers

Barbers work close to clients with sharp tools and clippers, so public liability cover for cuts, nicks, reactions or a slip on your floor is the foundation of your policy. A single claim from an injured client can otherwise land hard on a small shop.

Most owners also want cover for shop contents, fit-out and stock, glass and signage, plus workers' compensation once they employ barbers rather than renting chairs. With many policies renewing around 30 June, it is a good time to check the cover matches your current shop and team.

Common questions

Barbers — insurance questions

What insurance does a barbershop need?

Public liability is essential given the close, sharp-tool work and the chance of a client injury or slip. Contents and fit-out cover protects your chairs, mirrors and stock, and workers' compensation applies once you employ staff.

Do chair-renting barbers need their own cover?

Often yes, because independent barbers renting a chair usually carry their own liability cover. It is worth confirming who is covered for what, especially around 30 June when many policies renew.
