Self Employed Hairdresser’s (Chair Rental) Contract EMP.SELF.02
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 Hairdresser’s (Chair Rental) Contract is designed for use by self-employed hairdressers 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 hairdresser is treated only as a self-employed individual and is never deemed to be employed by the salon. Whilst the relationship between the hairdresser and the salon must also function appropriately outside of the wording of the contract (and many don’t); a carefully worded contract ensuring the hairdresser’s independence is a key starting point.
Under the terms of this Self Employed Hairdresser’s Contract, payment to the salon takes the form of a standard fee plus a percentage of the hairdresser’s takings. Optional clauses in this contract also allow the hairdresser 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 hairdresser.
The contract is written in such a way that there is a clear distinction between the hairdresser’s clients and the salon’s clients. In addition, the hairdresser 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.
