Paperwork that protects a Fernley salon
- Write a clear policy on redo requests and refunds so a dissatisfied client has a path short of a claim.
- State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.
- Keep a signed client consultation card for chemical services, with allergies and past reactions noted.
- Note in the lease who is responsible for plumbing, water heaters, and HVAC repairs.
Contracts set expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway. The two work best together.
