Booth rental and client agreement tips for Monroeville
- 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.
- Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
- State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.
Contracts set expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway. The two work best together.
