Running a salon or spa in Georgia means real exposure — a client slip on a wet floor, a color reaction, a stolen station, an employee injury. The right insurance package keeps one bad day from becoming a business-ending one. As an independent agency, we shop your salon to multiple carriers so you can get multiple quotes within minutes.

Is insurance required for salons in Georgia?

Georgia requires workers’ compensation once a business has three or more workers — including part-timers — so most staffed salons need coverage. On the licensing side, salons operate under the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers. General liability isn’t mandated by the state, but nearly every commercial lease in Georgia requires it — and going without it is a risk no salon should take.

What coverage does a Georgia salon need?

• General liability — client slips, falls, and property damage
• Professional liability — burns, reactions, and service claims
• Property coverage — chairs, stations, equipment, and inventory
• Workers’ compensation — required per GA law once you have staff
• EPLI and cyber liability — employment claims and booking/payment data
