Written agreements that prevent salon disputes
- Put insurance requirements for each booth renter in writing, including limits and additional insured wording for the salon.
- Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
- Note in the lease who is responsible for plumbing, water heaters, and HVAC repairs.
- State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.
Agreements do not replace insurance, but clear terms narrow disputes. Underwriters may ask whether you use written booth rental agreements and client consultation records.
