Booth rental and client agreement tips for Bullhead City
- State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.
- 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.
- Keep a signed client consultation card for chemical services, with allergies and past reactions noted.
Clear paperwork makes a claim easier to handle, and some insurers ask about it on the application.
