Chair rental and client tips for Queen Creek
- Get a certificate from event organizers' vendors when you cut off-site, and give yours when asked.
- Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
- Note skin conditions, allergies, and declined services on the client's record.
- Decide who owns the client book and the booking app account if a barber leaves.
None of this replaces insurance, but it keeps small problems small. Insurers may ask whether you use written rental agreements and keep sanitation logs.
