Booth Renters License: Fill & Download for Free

While hair professionals who’ve worked at salons have damaged my hair on more than one occasion in the past, a salon as a standalone business entity has never specifically damaged my hair.A booth renter who bought my client files from my previous long term stylist famously damaged my hair by using color on my hair which triggered an allergic reaction.As I’ve shared in the past, I very specifically told my new stylist which color products I’d historically had problems with before.Although she promised to only use color products I wasn’t allergic to, she didn’t keep her promise.She went ahead and used color products she had available because she was running late and didn’t want to stop and purchase the specific products I requested and was willing to pay extra for.When I was living in St. Louis I had a few problems with different hairstylists cutting my hair much shorter than I requested.Again, it was the individual hairstylists working independently or as booth renters and not necessarily the salon.I’m not sure how a salon as a hair business might damage the hair of an individual client, unless you wish to count the actions of hairstylists employed by the salon.Even my own aunt, my mother’s youngest sister, was an independent hairstylist who had a special business license to work out of her home salon.She actually damaged my hair at one point by applying a perm which trashed my hair. The majority of my permed hair had to be cut off.While I’m sure its possible for a salon to damage a client’s hair in some way through their employees, the damage to my hair was always from independent contractors.Best wishes.

Depends on the state, the county, and the hairdresser.Different states are doing reopening phases differently.In some states, reopening is not just statewide, but on a county by county basis.And after all that, it will depend on the hairstylist and the salon.And many states have not issued clear, consistent, specific guidelines on safety requirements to reopen salons. Nor have the hair stylists licensing agencies or industry. It is kind of an “do what you want” kind of thing in many places. So far in my state, the only real changes are “No walk-ins, no blow drying, keep customers 6 ft apart and all wear masks”.My stylist is still debating reopening hers and what is best. And her pre-covid set up was already better than many of the options/suggestions I have seen. Her salon is set up in a remodeled office space. Each “booth” is a separate room with it’s own wash sink and space to add equipment for any other services the booth renter is licensed for and wants to offer. Each “booth” has a door. So maintaining 6 feet between customers is not the issue. And she is still hesitant due to the additional costs of PPE, etc. to even attempt it.Some of the open space salons locally are opening up June 1st, and are booked solid, back-to-back. Many of the mall salons as well. All with varying degrees of “safety precautions”.It better be a hell of a good haircut and/or dye job, since you might be getting buried with it.

YES, they have to pay rent on the space like everyone else, buy products like everyone else, have training like everyone else, and take time to do your hair just like any other booth renter or employee. Plus there are several licenses they have to keep up, which cost money, and then there’s the electric bill, and water bill and anything else associated with running a business.
