Paperwork every Pine Bluff shop should have
- Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
- 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.
- Note skin conditions, allergies, and declined services on the client's record.
When a claim does come in, the shop with records is in a much better position than the shop relying on memory.
