Booth rental and client agreement tips for Boulder City

• Record patch and strand test results, including when a client declines a test.
• Write a clear policy on redo requests and refunds so a dissatisfied client has a path short of a claim.
• Spell out who owns client records and contact lists if a renter or stylist leaves.
• Put insurance requirements for each booth renter in writing, including limits and additional insured wording for the salon.

Agreements do not replace insurance, but clear terms narrow disputes. Underwriters may ask whether you use written booth rental agreements and client consultation records.
