How to use this template

This template is designed for beauty therapists, nail technicians, lash technicians, or similar practitioners renting a booth or treatment room within a salon or shared premises. It covers the beauty-specific details - ventilation, product storage, extraction - that a standard chair rental agreement does not.

Before you sign:

• Read every clause and delete or amend anything that does not apply.
• Check that the ventilation and extraction arrangements meet the requirements for the treatments you offer. If you work with acrylics, dipping powders or spray tan solutions, proper extraction is a legal requirement under COSHH.
• Make sure the arrangement genuinely reflects self-employment. If the owner controls your hours, prices or methods, this may be an employment relationship regardless of what the agreement says.
• Both parties should keep a signed copy.
• Check your insurance covers booth rental and all the treatments you plan to offer.
• Register as self-employed with HMRC within 3 months of starting if you have not already done so.
• If you are unsure about anything, speak to a solicitor or your professional body before signing.
