Call 818.997.8810 - M-F 8am-5pm PST

Hair extensions installed by a professionally trained and licensed stylist should include not only the service and verbal instructions but also a contract that outlines installation, maintenance and removal. Stylists depend upon their reputation and word-of-mouth recommendations and really need to take steps to protect themselves. Drafting a contract for a hair extensions installation may seem excessive to some, but it could save your reputation and bank account. And it really is a professional way to handle a long term and complicated service.

Creating a contract is a professional way to handle a long-term and complicated service like hair extensions.   It creates an understanding between the stylist & client that helps avoid conflict. 

When creating a contract, consider including the following points that you and your client need to agree and sign off on.
