Either you can take the Russian Roulette approach, walking into your local spot with whirling candy cane, communicating through numbers and hoping for the best.

If you’re looking for a quick snip in a hurry, then choose elsewhere. But if you’ve an hour of your time to give after pay day and you’re looking for the ‘full works’ then Ruffians is hard to top. The wooden decor is stylish, they have their own custom range of products and their customer service is at the forefront of every visit (with complimentary beer and coffee). The hot shaves and head massages are a bonus, but the main attraction is the fact that you’ll walk away with a damn fine haircut.

At Direct Line for Business we understand the importance of insurance for your hairdressing business in case the worst happens. Whether you are a mobile hairdresser, have your own salon, or are a stylist who rents a chair in a salon, our policy gives you public liability insurance for hairdressers as standard. This means you’re covered if you cause injury to a member of the public or damage to third party property due to work. Accidents can happen in all industries and in most sectors there is the risk of being sued. If a client slips on a wet floor and suffers an injury while they're visiting you, or if you damage the floor of their home by spilling dye on it, they can sue. Here our policy is designed to pay your legal costs in defending the claim. It’ll also cover the compensation (up to the chosen limit) and claimants' legal costs that you incur if you’re found to be at fault. As an optional extra, we also provide treatments liability cover for additional premium.
