Whether you own a nail salon, rent a booth or salon suite, or work independently, you help clients look and feel their best. But even experienced nail professionals can face accidents, property damage claims, or costly lawsuits. Nail salon insurance from Berxi helps protect your business, equipment, and finances so you can focus on serving your clients with confidence.

Why do nail salons need insurance?

Whether you operate a full-service nail salon or work independently, providing beauty services comes with liability risks. A single accident or claim can result in costly legal expenses, medical bills, or property damage.

Nail salon insurance can help protect your business from common risks like these:

  • If a client slips in your salon and gets hurt, general liability insurance can help pay for their medical expenses, as well as your legal costs in the event of a lawsuit.
  • If you accidentally damage a client’s personal belongings, such as clothing, handbags, electronics, or jewelry, general liability insurance can help cover the cost to repair or replace them.
  • If a client claims they were injured during a treatment or as a result of your services, your general liability insurance can help pay for your legal defense, as well as medical bills and other damages.
  • If your tools, equipment, or business property is damaged, business personal property insurance can help pay for replacements or repairs.

Without insurance, these expenses could come directly out of your pocket.

How much does insurance for nail salons cost?

Berxi’s general liability insurance starts at $350/year for nail salons.

Your annual premium will depend on a few different factors, including:

  • Your annual revenue
  • Your location
  • The amount of coverage you need

You can also add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to your Berxi general liability policy. The BPP coverage add-on starts at around $115/year.

Because Berxi has no hidden costs or interest fees, nail salons that choose our insurance save an average of 15% vs. other providers. The fastest way to find out how much you might pay for nail salon insurance is to get a quote.

Types of Business Insurance for Nail Salons

Berxi’s customized general liability insurance for nail salons is designed to help protect you from common business risks, including client injuries, property damage, and personal and advertising injury claims, such as libel or copyright infringement in your marketing materials.

You can also add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to help pay for repairs or replacements if your tools, furnishings, computers, inventory, or other business assets are damaged.

General liability insurance helps protect nail salons from claims of third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal and advertising injury that may arise from business operations. Plus, unlike most insurance companies’ policies, Berxi’s general liability policies include coverage for client injuries related to your services at no additional cost.

General liability insurance can help pay for medical expenses, repair costs, legal fees, settlements, and other damages.

Examples include:

  • A client slips on a wet salon floor and suffers an injury.
  • A customer claims they were injured during an appointment or treatment.
  • You accidentally spill a product on a customer’s designer handbag or clothing, causing damage.
  • A visitor trips over a power cord connected to salon equipment and files an injury claim.
  • A marketing photo or advertisement leads to a copyright infringement claim.

Optional business personal property (BPP) coverage helps repair or replace covered business property if it’s damaged. This can include manicure stations, pedicure chairs, nail tools, UV lamps, computers, office furniture, inventory, and other business assets.

Examples include:

  • A burst pipe damages manicure stations, furniture, and salon equipment.
  • A fire damages nail polish inventory, tools, computers, and other business property.
  • A laptop used to manage appointments, customer records, and business operations is accidentally damaged and needs to be replaced.

In addition to general liability insurance, nail salons may need other types of coverage depending on their services and business operations.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

If you have employees, workers’ compensation insurance can help cover medical expenses and lost wages if they’re injured or become ill as a result of their work. In most states, this coverage is required by law once you hire employees. You can add optional workers’ comp coverage from one of our trusted partners to your Berxi general liability policy by speaking with our product specialists.

Cyber Liability Insurance

If you collect sensitive client information, process payments online, or use an online booking system, you could be at risk of a data breach or cyberattack. If that happens, cyber liability insurance can help cover the costs of notifying clients, legal fees, credit monitoring services, and even reputational damage. You can add optional cyber coverage from one of our partners to your Berxi general liability policy by speaking with our product specialists.

Commercial Auto Insurance

If you use a vehicle for business purposes, commercial auto insurance can help cover accidents, vehicle damage, and certain liability claims. This may be helpful if you transport supplies, equipment, or employees as part of your business operations.
