What Vermont requires of lash and brow studios

Vermont generally requires employers to carry workers’ compensation for their employees, with limited exceptions.

Lash and brow studios in Vermont are regulated by the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation (Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists). Licensing and coverage go together: a service outside someone’s license is one of the easiest ways to end up with a disputed claim.

Many Vermont salons operate in older downtown buildings, where property underwriters look closely at heating systems, wiring and building age. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.
