Self Employed Beauty Therapist’s Contract Template

In many businesses, particularly those associated with hair and beauty, chair rental contracts whereby the hairdresser or therapist is self employed and pays a fee to a salon in order to use their premises and equipment are popular.

This Self Employed Beauty Therapist’s (Chair Rental) Contract is designed for use by self-employed beauty therapists in order to use the equipment and premises of a salon.

This document is also available at Chair Rental Agreements
Designed to be compliant with IR35, this contract aims to ensure that the therapist is treated only as a self-employed individual and is never deemed to be employed by the salon. Whilst the relationship between the therapist and the salon must also function appropriately outside of the wording of the contract (and many don’t); a carefully worded contract ensuring the therapist’s independence is a key starting point.

Under the terms of this Self Employed Beauty Therapist’s Contract payment to the salon takes the form of a standard fee plus a percentage of the therapist’s takings. Optional clauses in this contract also allow the therapist to provide services to the salon’s own clients. In this case, the clients would pay money directly to the salon with the salon then paying a percentage to the therapist.

The contract is written in such a way that there is a clear distinction between the therapist’s clients and the salon’s clients. In addition, the therapist is prevented from soliciting the salon’s clients. Optional elements within the contract allow this provision to be ‘softened’ or ‘toughened’ as appropriate.

Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.
