What Pennsylvania requires of lash and brow studios

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

Lash and brow studios in Pennsylvania are regulated by the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology (barbers are licensed by the State Board of Barber Examiners). Licensing and coverage go together: a service outside someone’s license is one of the easiest ways to end up with a disputed claim.

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.
