Agreements that keep Pasadena shops out of disputes
- Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
- Get a certificate from event organizers' vendors when you cut off-site, and give yours when asked.
- Keep a written single-use blade policy and post it at each station.
- Require renters to keep their barber license current and displayed.
When a claim does come in, the shop with records is in a much better position than the shop relying on memory.
