What Nevada requires of day spas

Nevada requires workers’ compensation for employers with one or more employees.

Day spas in Nevada are regulated by the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology (barbers are licensed by the Nevada State Barbers’ Health and Sanitation Board). Licensing and coverage go together: a service outside someone’s license is one of the easiest ways to end up with a disputed claim.

Resort and casino landlords on the Las Vegas Strip often require higher limits and specific additional insured wording from salon tenants. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.

Coverage checklist for day spas in Nevada

• General liability — slips in treatment rooms, locker areas and wet floors.
• Professional liability — facials, body treatments and waxing, with every service on your menu listed.
• Property or a business owners policy — treatment tables, steam and hydrotherapy equipment, and retail.
• Workers’ compensation — therapists and front-desk staff.
• Abuse and molestation coverage — often limited or excluded on spa forms, so review it carefully.

Claims day spas actually face

Underwriters price day spas around a predictable set of claims:

• A burn or reaction after a facial or body treatment
• A client injured on a wet floor or in a treatment room
• Waxing burns or skin removal
• Water damage from a failed water heater or steam equipment
