What Pennsylvania requires of medical spas

Pennsylvania requires workers’ compensation from the first employee, whether full-time or part-time.

Medical spas in Pennsylvania are regulated by the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology (barbers are licensed by the State Board of Barber Examiners). Underwriters ask about licenses and training, so make sure every service you offer is within the license of the person performing it.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh storefront leases routinely require additional insured status for landlords and property managers. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.
