Paperwork that protects a Keizer salon
- Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
- Keep a signed client consultation card for chemical services, with allergies and past reactions noted.
- State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.
- Note in the lease who is responsible for plumbing, water heaters, and HVAC repairs.
Agreements do not replace insurance, but clear terms narrow disputes. Underwriters may ask whether you use written booth rental agreements and client consultation records.
