We recommend that, as an independent contractor/self-employed professional, you have your own insurance. Since most salon owners who booth rent do not provide insurance for independent contractors, you could be risking your income and professional reputation by not having insurance. Cosmetology insurance helps you protect business finances from bodily injury, property damage, and professional liability claims. At the minimum, you will want your cosmetology insurance to include general liability, and professional liability coverage, but you should always consider covering your business personal property, too.

How Much Cosmetology Insurance Do I Need?
While the owner of the salon or spa has professional liability insurance, you may still be required to have your own insurance policy if you’re renting space. If this isn’t a requirement, it’s a wise decision to purchase insurance anyway. You have to understand how your policy protects you to make sure you’re getting the amount of protection you need.
When should I buy liability insurance?
A: Since many locations request, if you are self-employed, that you carry your own coverage even before you start at their location, you should consider buying insurance when you are actively pursuing a location to provide cosmetology, currently at a location providing service, or even as a student when you are being trained and waiting for your license.
