- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- 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.
- Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
