KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of [effective_date], subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is expressly authorized to represent the Principal before the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers. This includes, but is not limited to, the renewal of the shop's establishment license, responding to citations for sanitation violations, and ensuring the facility maintains compliance with O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 10. The Agent shall have the power to implement mandatory sanitization schedules and health protocols to mitigate risks of client injury and ensure workplace safety in alignment with federal OSHA standards.
The Agent shall have the authority to manage all booth rental agreements. This power specifically includes the right to enforce non-compete and non-solicitation clauses to the maximum extent permitted under Georgia’s Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq.). The Agent may terminate rental agreements for non-payment or breach of shop rules and, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, shall maintain the Principal’s right to terminate any at-will employment relationships within the shop.
In the event of client injury claims or professional liability disputes arising from 'fades', chemical services, or other barbering procedures, the Agent is authorized to engage legal counsel and settle claims within the limits of the shop’s liability insurance. The Agent shall ensure all independent contractors provide proof of individual licensure and adequate insurance coverage as required by the Principal’s standard operating procedures to protect the shop's assets from third-party liabilities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a Georgia barber shop owner, your business depends on daily operations, from managing chair rentals to ensuring sanitation standards meet the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers requirements. If you are incapacitated or unavailable, your shop faces immediate risks: unpaid booth rent, lapsed professional licenses, or unresolved client injury claims. Our Georgia-specific Power of Attorney allows you to designate a trusted agent to manage your walk-ins, resolve sanitation audits, and enforce restrictive covenants, ensuring your business remains at-will and compliant with the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Barber Shop Owner:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Client injury claims
Barber shops include indemnification clauses in client service agreements and maintain comprehensive liability insurance to cover injuries.
Sanitation violations
Contracts and employee handbooks outline mandatory sanitation practices, referencing state regulations to ensure compliance.
Booth rental disputes
Detailed rental agreements specifying terms, conditions, and responsibilities of both shop owner and renting barber are used to prevent disputes.
