Booth rental and client agreement tips for Maricopa
- Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
- Write a clear policy on redo requests and refunds so a dissatisfied client has a path short of a claim.
- Record patch and strand test results, including when a client declines a test.
- Put insurance requirements for each booth renter in writing, including limits and additional insured wording for the salon.
Contracts set expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway. The two work best together.
