Chair and Room Rental Agreement

A licence agreement letting a self-employed hairdresser, barber, nail technician or therapist rent a chair, station or treatment room in your salon for a fixed fee, while running their own separate business. It is written as a licence (not a lease), and it is structured to support genuine self-employment.

• When a renter pays you a fixed weekly or monthly fee and keeps their own takings
• For chair rental, nail stations, lash/brow beds or private treatment rooms
• Not where you set the prices, take the bookings and pay a commission – use the Self-Employed Therapist Agreement in this pack instead

• Complete Schedule 1 (licence details) and Schedule 2 (what the fee includes)
• Adapt the House Rules in Schedule 3 to your salon
• Check the VAT and business rates guidance notes with your accountant before you fix the fee
• Collect copies of the renter’s insurance, qualifications and any licence before day one
