Insurance notes for Greenwood barbershops

Razor work drives many barber injury claims. A fresh blade for every client and a disinfection log help most. See razor safety and sanitation.

Agreements that keep Greenwood shops out of disputes

• 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.
• 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.

Good paperwork and good coverage work together. The paperwork prevents arguments; the policy pays when something goes wrong anyway.
