- Decide who owns the client book and the booking app account if a barber leaves.
- Require renters to keep their barber license current and displayed.
- Keep a written single-use blade policy and post it at each station.
Good paperwork and good coverage work together. The paperwork prevents arguments; the policy pays when something goes wrong anyway.
