Paperwork every Rexburg shop should have
- Note skin conditions, allergies, and declined services on the client's record.
- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
- Log clipper and comb disinfection daily, station by station.
Good paperwork and good coverage work together. The paperwork prevents arguments; the policy pays when something goes wrong anyway.
