You work with chemicals and sharp or hot tools. You cut, style, and color hair, an art that’s almost an exact science, but is unfortunately prone to slip-ups and misunderstandings. “That’s not the color I wanted!” “You cut it too short!” Frivolous lawsuits happen in the beauty industry, too, meaning clients try to hold you accountable for incidents outside your sphere of liability. One wrong move, and you could potentially damage not only a client’s appearance, but also their self-confidence. And as you know, people take both very seriously, especially when they’re coming to you as an expert in your craft.

We don’t say that to scare you—the opposite is true!

Since we launched our hair salon insurance blog in 2023, we at WellnessPro have dedicated ourselves to delivering timely, practical, in-depth resources for proactively protecting your business from potential claims. We believe the more informed you are about common claims, the better equipped you’ll be to safeguard the business you’ve worked so hard to build. 

That’s why our barber and hair salon insurance blog exists. This is your one-stop-shop for hair salon articles and hairdresser resources designed to help you grow professionally, without growing your risk unnecessarily. From mastering booth and hair salon lease agreements to preventing slips, trips, and falls or “You cut my hair too short!” complaints, our blog is full of beauty salon tips to make running your barbershop or hair salon easier and worry-free.

Our hair salon and barbershop blog aims to foster confidence, compliance, client relationships, and inspiration in the hair community. Because planning, running, and protecting your business doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It should be the thing you love.
