Running a barbershop in Montgomery
The 2010 Census counted 205,764 people in Montgomery, a 2.1% increase over the 201,568 counted in 2000. Every chair in a Montgomery barbershop is a place where a client can get hurt or property can be damaged, which is what general liability is for.
Montgomery is in Montgomery County. For local facts and nearby cities, see the Montgomery general liability page; for the full coverage outline and carrier appetite, see our barber general liability guide.
AIB will confirm availability for your Alabama business at quote.
Claims general liability is built for
- Slips and falls. Hair on the floor, a wet spot by the shampoo bowl or a cord across the walkway, and a client or a walk-in gets hurt.
- Client injury in the chair. A nick from a straight razor or a burn from a hot towel or styling tool turns into a claim.
- Damage to a client's property. A dropped bottle of dye ruins a client's coat, phone or bag.
- Products you sell. Pomades, beard oils and shampoos on your retail shelf can lead to a claim after the sale.
Chair and booth rental. Do you rent chairs or booths? Many shop owners ask each booth renter to carry their own general liability and to list the shop as an additional insured. If you rent a booth, the shop's policy usually does not cover you. Tell us which side you're on and we'll quote it the right way.

Montgomery barber insurance FAQ
Where can I get barbershop insurance in Montgomery?
AIB quotes Montgomery barbershops online through Canopy Connect or by phone (tap Click here to call). Coverage can be quoted and bound through Coterie, plus additional markets through AIB's 35+ carrier appointments. AIB will confirm availability for your Alabama business at quote.
Do booth renters need their own policy?
Usually yes. A shop's policy typically protects the shop, not an independent booth renter. Many shops ask renters for their own certificate of insurance listing the shop as an additional insured.
Does general liability cover my clippers and chairs?
No. General liability covers claims from other people. Your own equipment and build-out are covered by property coverage or a business owner's policy (BOP).
