Paperwork that protects a Cabot salon
- Put insurance requirements for each booth renter in writing, including limits and additional insured wording for the salon.
- 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.
- 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.
