Paperwork every Centerton shop should have
- Log clipper and comb disinfection daily, station by station.
- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- Keep a written single-use blade policy and post it at each station.
- Require renters to keep their barber license current and displayed.
None of this replaces insurance, but it keeps small problems small. Insurers may ask whether you use written rental agreements and keep sanitation logs.
