Hi
I can only comment on Salon Gold as that is who i have my policy with.
They are very competitively priced and cover everything you need.
There are also extremely helpful and friendly whenever you get in touch with them which is extremely important.
I've never had any problems with them.

I was with the Guild now with Salon Gold for obvious reasons.

As angelina says they are well priced and offer all you need. x

Forgot to mention, take a look at this article on what to look for in an insurance policy: http://www.salongeek.com/business/67348-insuring-your-success.html.

It should provide you with plenty of questions to ask whichever insurance company you choose.

a lot of it is personal choice in the end. Prices between us all vary as do levels of cover - see what suits you best

I was with The Guild and thought they were very good, but I had to go to Salon Gold when I became a salon owner :irked:. Apparently The Guild only insure individuals and not salons & staff etc.

I was a little disappointed that although I was only about a month into The Guilds insurance they would not cancel or refund anything. However I'm not that bothered coz we're not talking about huge amounts of money here and I can still claim to be a member of "The Guild" and have all the benefits that go with it

Why thank you

Unsurprisingly I would support that course of action

I am also with salon gold. They are very helpful as already mentioned and you can save yourself the hassle of sending off your certificates to gain insurance.
They also cover cartilage for ear piercing. You will be covered to work mobile or home based.

I'm with Salon Gold, Their price for insurance is very reasonable. And it covers all beauty and hair treatments, they are very helpful too.
