Frequently Asked Questions
GL vs. Professional Liability—what’s the difference?
GL covers many premises/operations risks (e.g., slip‑and‑fall). Professional Liability addresses alleged mistakes in services (cuts, color, chemical reactions, nails, waxing, lashes).
Do booth renters need their own insurance?
Usually yes. Independent stylists typically carry their own GL + Professional Liability and name the salon/suite owner as Additional Insured. Employees are typically covered under the salon policy—confirm your setup.
Are retail product sales covered?
Product liability can be included/endorsed. We’ll align with your brands and inventory.
We do mobile/bridal work—am I covered?
Extend GL/Pro Liability off‑premises and consider HNOA if staff drive personal vehicles. Add Inland Marine for kits in transit.
Can you add Additional Insured and Waiver of Subrogation?
Yes. We routinely issue COIs with AI/waiver and Primary & Non‑Contributory wording for landlords, suites, and malls.
