A service contract such as this should include all the necessary clauses to ensure a beneficial working relationship between the salon and its client.

Party Information

The document must contain the names and addresses of both parties. If either the service provider or the client is a business, the entity name and business address should be provided instead.

Services

The contract should detail the specific services the salon will provide to the client, the number of people the salon is expected to serve, and the location where the services will be provided. It should also state if the service covers any touch-ups during the event.

Compensation

The agreement will state how the payment amount and schedule. Salons may charge a retainer or a booking deposit to secure their services and extra fees if the services take place at the event venue.

Termination

The contract should relay how the agreement can be terminated, stating the number of days’ notice and the consequences the canceling party may face if no notice is given.

By signing a salon service contract, both parties become bound to its terms and conditions.

This benefits both parties in several ways:

• Expectations: By relaying the pricing, services, and timeline of the agreement, the client and salon will have clear expectations regarding their responsibilities and those of the other party.
• Pre-Booking: A signed document means scheduled business for the salon, often secured with a booking deposit. The contract is also advantageous for the client, as they can rest assured knowing the services they require are reserved at the designated date and time.
• Liability: A service contract will generally contain provisions that protect both the salon and the client against loss and damages caused by the other party.
• Cancellation: The salon may protect itself from client cancellations by requiring an upfront deposit that it may choose to be non-refundable in case of any last-minute cancellations.
