Styling is intimate, trust-based work. Which means boundaries, payments and expectations need to be very clear.
Whether you style in person, virtually, or run a boutique agency, legal gaps can quickly turn into awkward disputes.
Why Stylists Are Especially Exposed
Stylists deal with:
- Personal budgets and purchases
- Time-intensive services
- Client dissatisfaction risks
- Online bookings and data
- Refund requests
Without proper contracts, you’re vulnerable on all fronts.
