Chair rental and client tips for Paragould
- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- Log clipper and comb disinfection daily, station by station.
- Keep a written single-use blade policy and post it at each station.
- Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
None of this replaces insurance, but it keeps small problems small. Insurers may ask whether you use written rental agreements and keep sanitation logs.
