Part- time 

Barber Insurance

Many barber professionals aren't in the shop or salon full-time, but still require insurance coverage, and many insurers only provide a single pricing option. 

National Association of Barbers designed a policy designed specifically for the needs of part-time barbers. At only $135, itโ€™s the most affordable part-time coverage available today.

National Association of Barbers' part-time barber policy covers you for up to 15 hours behind the chair, and has the same $3 million in annual coverage ($2 million per occurrence) as our full-time professional policy. Don't pay for what you don't need.

In addition to millions of dollars in professional, general, and product liability part-time policy members also have access to our extensive member benefits, such as, health, vision, and dental insurance options, product and tool discounts, a free professional website and more.

Why Do I Need Professional Barber Insurance?

The chair will mostly serve as a place of restoration from the real world for your clients. With the blending of training and compassion, you use shears, clippers, straight razors, and more to uplift appearances and confidence.

Unfortunately, no oneโ€™s hand is perfectโ€”the same tools you use to help your clients could potentially harm them. Letโ€™s face it, accidents happen that can be out of your control, but you may still be held responsible.
