Chair rental and client tips for Prescott Valley
- Keep a written single-use blade policy and post it at each station.
- Decide who owns the client book and the booking app account if a barber leaves.
- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- Note skin conditions, allergies, and declined services on the client's record.
Good paperwork and good coverage work together. The paperwork prevents arguments; the policy pays when something goes wrong anyway.
