How a Nevada salon's premium is built
The service menu comes first: color, lightening, extensions, waxing, peels, and lashes each carry their own claim patterns. Next come licensed staff and payroll, independent professionals working in the space, retail and private-label products, the building and equipment, lease requirements, and claims history.
