If you operate primarily in Kentucky, your policy should be written for that state. If you regularly work across state lines, you may need endorsements or multi-state coverage.

What is NOT covered by a standard hair salon & barbershop insurance policy?

Standard general liability does not cover: employee injuries (requires workers' comp), vehicles (requires commercial auto), professional errors (requires E&O), cyber attacks (requires cyber liability), or intentional acts.
