What Maryland requires of lash and brow studios

Maryland requires workers’ compensation from the first employee.

Lash and brow studios in Maryland are regulated by the Maryland State Board of Cosmetologists (barbers are licensed by the Maryland State Board of Barbers). Keep licenses current — carriers ask about licensing, and services performed outside a license can create coverage problems.

Suburban Maryland shopping centers often require tenants to insure their own improvements and name the landlord as additional insured. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.
