Coverage Options for Day Spa

Day spas are a preferred Travelers class. Medical spa services (Botox, lasers) may require referral depending on services offered.

Business Owner's Policy

May combine general liability and commercial property into one policy for salons, barber shops, spas, and other small personal care businesses.

Professional Liability

Covers claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in the professional services or advice you provide to clients.

General Liability

Protects against third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury arising from your operations — the foundation of most commercial policies.

Workers' Compensation

Covers medical costs and lost wages for employees injured on the job, and is required in California for nearly every business with employees.

Commercial Property

Covers your building, contents, and business personal property against fire, theft, and other covered perils.

Cyber Liability

Covers costs from data breaches, ransomware, and other cyber incidents, including notification and liability expenses.
